ha awesome!

Amen, and thanks for thee reminder of xpost Hapna:
t all starts with a sound. The sound of a monophonic synth. Then we have the Drums. And what binds it all together: The Bass.
In search of a departed past. Maybe a trip to Italy 1981. No, we never went to Italy... Ok.
But the colour is definitely brown.
Memories, not necessarily self-perceived, but yet...
A happy childhood. A promising future. And then there's a wizard.
Phrases, echoes. Expanding lines that evolves and re-evolves.
Escape from NY. Growing up. Possibilities and limitations.
The smell of dust and electricity. A wish to go back and forward at the same time.
It all comes down to a introspective groove. The strength of the collective process.

Long live Häpna--Tape esp were a huge revelation for me, sort of a Gastr del Sequel if I had to reduce it to a simple/silly pun

Black Flag, Live '84. Their best-sounding recording. (The cassette had better cover art than the CD reissue.)

I love the Marquee set from that year.
Seems to have an element of near Link Wray Ness I'm not really hearing elsewhere. One of several elements blended.
It was the date I saw them on.
Official Video is them at Leeds a few days after that.
Do wonder what lira basslines would sound like if she was writing her own.

Also do like the band as a 5 piece a year earlier playing the My War stuff as written with Duchowski and Cadenza still on board.

2014 vocal jazz with a minimal bent. Likened to Bond themes stripped to their bone, and that's okay.

Also a bunch of other jazz/improvisation that others on RYM labeled with one of the "minimal" tags. The trio Plaistow from Genève, Switzerland definitely were influenced by their Tonus-Music brethren in Bern. Something in the water. Anyway, Plaistow's discography sort of splits the difference between The Necks (though in more digestible chunks), Dawn of Midi, and sometimes the junglisms of GoGo Penguin.

i loooove that De Biasio album

I think I've seen the cover image before or at least where its copied from buit can't quiite place it, is it an Edith Piaf thing or a Billie Holliday or something.

xp Ed Sanders of the Fugs playing straight country or what?
Have heard he cut a couple of records in that vague style around the same time but not heard tehm so wondering what country means in his case

Trojan reboot packaging of teh best of the great jamaican instrumental/backing band.
Listening to an hour of this had me wondering if the use of intense repetitive instrumental lines on a number of teh sings here had had any influence on the bands that went on to develop math rock. I was reminded of things i had been listening to a while earlier like Don Caballero and similar.
Anyway great instrumentalists and instrumentitians. I need to read the book on the great Jamaican music school and boys home that came out a few years ago I think a few of the players here went through that system.

//e.snmc.io/i/300/s/bda65c5acaa5a74f76d4966aecafd119/4094557
Finnish jazz prog band.
Been meaning to pick uyp stuff by this lot for a while. The 50th anniversary versions are on the verge of selling out, already out at SVart.
Didn't know a great deal about them, have just seen the name used in a few places. BUt now got this and bought Lambertland. I think the instrumental passages are quite great.
Makes me want to get more by them and probably Burnin Red ivanhoe who I think may be at least fellow travellers.
ON this lp they had an Engllish singer by Lambertland they have a better known Finnish singer.
Enjoy this stuff, not as overblown or pompous as some stuff can be.

//e.snmc.io/i/300/s/6e04c53a926e53de35fd892dd4c3d9a9/8457911
French Canadian Space roc/psych/prog band with lyrics mainly in French.
I heard this as a dld a few weeks ago and thought i needed to get hold of a physical copy. Seems that getting hold of tyhings may be getting more difficult or at least p+p seemed to be getting way too high.
Blooming great anyway, starts with some warped bo diddley beat stuff which is blooming great and continues to be jollly good like.

mopping up of demoes etc for an lp by Maine psychedelic band. some of which have been completed more recently.
I think is pretty great. may be a little too close to Population II ;s style to be on the same 3 changer listening experience.
So it was taken off when Tasavallan Presidentti arrived. Will be put back on next week I think.
& i have a 2nd disc I haven't listened to yet.
I think there is more of a gare punk sensibility running through this that Pop II though.

Ashley Ray, Pauline:
Country songwriting pro, on the team w Lori McKenna etc. This 2020 alb is first of hers I've heard: wild 'n' blue munchkin hop on otm uptempo tracks, a bit mumblecore on ballads so far, but that can work when I catch up, like imagery moving out of the murk on some of xpost Gretchen Peters' comsic country Mickey Newbury trib. Also, at least one of the ballads already works: "Rock and Roll," not Zep's or VU's, but another original, with two hooks, one in the chorus, the other in a recurring banjo lick.
