Captures them right at the right time. Nice searing guitar leads and chooglesomeness.
Would like to hear a full set from some time over the previous year and a half too though.

heaviosity from the early 70s. Quite great.
Do wish Numero hadn't stopped making cds though.

haven't listened to this in a while trying to pick up as much sub-Saharan psych type rock as possible over time.
Or whatever the less northern hemispheric version of that statement applies.
Wish there was a book dedicated to the genre of Afrodelia or however you want to put it.

That's a great idea!

neil young and crazy horse - american stars & bars

this was being played in Fopp last week, and its one of first times in my life i've had to say "WHAT IS THIS YOU'RE PLAYING I MUST KNOW IT". beautiful lp.

Hadn't realised he was still recording that late.
I have the lp called Liberation Music orchestra and assumed by the art that this must be for sometime back then.
have to check this out then.

tracks 1 and 5 are from one of his last shows. tracks 2-4 are his band arranged by carla bley, playing in tribute to him. the whole thing rules.

you really must check out the ballad of the fallen as well jamie.

oh thats on my listening to list for this weekend already, plus Escalator Over The Hill.

the album notes by Haden do enrich the already so so fucking beautiful and moving music. Silence still slays me.

my first jamal iirc

There are some good tracks on this one. Very groovy.

Yeah that’s a great collection

seconding the ballad of the fallen shout-out above... absolutely beautiful/moving stuff!

when that 99p purchase earlier in the week provides loads of 'OOOOOHHHH its this ... ' moments.

so much fun spread across 2cds.

jerkcurb — 'air con eden'

just released today, but pretty much better than any other new release i've heard this year not by abdullah ibrahim. such a cliched evaluation, but it's absolutely beautiful.

NUmero group release of anachronistic sounding 1977 lp. It sounds like it should be from about 5 years, possibly more earlier.
Have heard comparisons made to Astral Weeks. I hear Bioll Withers among other things.
Came with a 5" 33rpm single that I had thought was going to be normal size and mess up the postage. I think the tracks on taht are on the end of the cd anyway.

collection of recordings glen Campbell made as demoes for Elvis Presley. Seems to be right around the time Campbell is making a name for himself solo though I can't find dates in the linernotes. So seems mid 60s semi blue eyed soulish stuff among other influences.
Quite enjoyable, turned up in a local sale so I thought I'd give it a chance

//e.snmc.io/i/300/s/12a5250c13344efd86dc7056159697fd/7706119
Mojo picked Best of the year, seems a couple of months early doesn't it? I needed a 3rd disc for my 3-changer and this does have some interesting stuff on it.

man, that willie wright looks clean. really want to hear it!

been really enjoying two abdullah ibrahims from the 80s this morning. kind of larger arrangements of some of his best stuff from the late 70s / early 80s. african river closes with 'the mountain of the night' which is SO DAMN CATCHY. i seriously want to learn it and record my own version of it. fantastic stuff.

a lot of that Numero group catalogue is up on bandcamp.

going to be MP3 but I guess it gives you an idea.

nice, will definitely add to my wishlist. thanks for the heads up!

That Willie Wright album is a thing of beauty.

first listen to that^ after finding a super cheap copy of the recentish reissue & am being strongly reminded of something else with a similar vibe... maybe pf sloan's measure of pleasure?

yeah i was unimpressd by the Leams overall but tbh love that first cover to death. main guy later went full fash iirc.

that would explain why it sounds like the work of an idiot, then!

Total 19 came out today, and it’s almost three hours long, so that’s my morning.
