yeah, def my fav of duul version 1. just got the wah wah reissue which puts a track from their single at the end of each side changing the flow of what i was used to on the cd, but i can live with it!

pretty sure this is the only seventies era stivell i'd not heard before: some of the tracks on here probably the proggiest he ever got... also comes with a neat poster

i picked up toy love's 1980 live album and it rules

i've never heard all of their sole full length album, but the live 80 versions are much better than their every album counterpart that i've heard. don't make the mistake of youtubing them because you'll just get all the lame album versions of all the songs

gotta be careful out there, on youtube

Man i always try with the duul every few years and just can’t hang with the vocals (pvmic). I always just end up wanting to listen to Jefferson Airplane for some reason.

I’ve been soooo into this lately, might’ve voted for it in the ambient poll:

thank you for this rec! wish it wasn't sold out already!

yesterday i purchased:

jon hassell: power spot (so excellent)
toy love: live at the gluepot, 1980 (only listened to half, but excellent so far. early kiwi punk, members later going on to form bats/tall dwarfs
tangerine dream: zeit (a top 40 ilx ambient album of all time, you bet your ass it's good. i snagged a very, very clean original copy too)
david crosby: if i could only remember my name (if i could only remember i already had a copy of this, dammit)

(ps brimstead i am loving this komachi. Sento [Pt.II] is hitting the spot)

Karl Malone, Monday, 15 July 2019 01:13 (four years ago) link

overall i would give my record shopping experience a 9.7

Karl Malone, Monday, 15 July 2019 01:13 (four years ago) link

this komachi is reminding me of jon hassell, actually, and of course that is the highest compliment

Karl Malone, Monday, 15 July 2019 01:15 (four years ago) link

oh wait, it's not sold out! only the super limited 50 copy version was sold out. thanks for the head's up!

Karl Malone, Monday, 15 July 2019 01:22 (four years ago) link

lol at "THIS KOMACHI". it's by Meitei. please forgive me, i am very tired

Karl Malone, Monday, 15 July 2019 01:24 (four years ago) link

nice! Glad you like it. Good score on the copy of Zeit!

first amon duul (ii) i heard was a borrowed copy of the live in london lp and remember my main impression at the time was the heavy ja vibes it gave off (a good thing!)

didn't know about the live toy love release. think the story goes that their studio lp was recorded with a not particularly sympathetic technical crew on a trip to australia with dire results... recently had some non-music related correspondence with chr!s kn0x, mostly communicating via selfies on his part o_O

Their last two records are kinda jazzy compared to the doom and gloom of the first two.
