November 69 set by the Grateful Dead.
The one place I'm aware of them going out of Dark Star into The Other One and then back again that I can remember, though just realising taht Dick's Picks vol 4 presumably had a Dark Star go into an Other One in May of 70 but its presented on 2 different discs. I thought they tended to play the 2 songs either on alternative nights or alternative sets atleast.
Anyway some nice trippy jamming on this one disc. have been told that teh first disc is pretty sloppy.
& looking in the cd box I finid a copy of Modey lemon's lp where disc 3 out to be. Not sure where and when the last time i looked in this was so not sure if this disc is somewhere in the flat somewhere or left at somebody's place years ago. ho hum. I don't remember having a Modey lemon lp, could find it is a great thing . It's the Curious City if that means anything.
Hope i do have tht thur 69 Dead somewhere though.

Super Mazembe Orchestra. I think these were Congolese ex pats who formed in Nairobi, Kenya. Some great great highlife/Benga guitar on here. Would love to learn to play some of this stuff.
Also would like to hear some of this stuff used asan influence in rock, not sure where taht's hgappened outside of Vampire Weekend. Would certainly meld well with Television influences etc.
Really enjoying this anyway.

Cabaret Voltaire's last record asa 3 piece i think. Bought this a few years ago when it was reissued on Vinyl and had a free cd version included. Do love them a lot more as a 3 piece with Chris Watson on guitar. Not so hot on the 2 poiece though i did enjoy some of their later solo stuff.
Chris Watson is doing a talk online in a week or so. Think that might have more to do with his later solo environmental sound recordings though.
Anyway do love me some 3 piece Cabs.
Creepy claustrophobic electronic greatness

trio CV >> duo CV >>>> solo CV IMHO

and this very peculiar record where there is a drainpipe reverb on the drums, guitar with so much ring mod & flange it sounds like gloop, satoko is on glossy sounding kbds with serious pitch wheel abuse all adding up to some kinda fushitsushian walls of jericho thing

Reissued by Mr Bongo and sounds magnificent.

^ Love that Howard Thomas 12"--am v. glad that the local dance music record store here in Toronto (Play De Record, still in business) had a pretty well-stocked Sound Signature section ca. 2005

A Loud Minority , pun on the Richard Nixon phrase Silent Majority I think. named after a Frank Foster track which opens this set of spiritual jazz tracks.
Quite groovy. I thik this is the kind of thing Gilles peterson was playing in Dingwalls on a Sunday Afternoon in the late 80s. So far out while great for getting down to.

//e.snmc.io/i/300/w/d87f9bed9c0f491f6fafd5a37d884248/8721769
2nd disc of teh recent Misunderstood set. Pretty decent white r'n'bstuff with great guitar.
I thought I had most of their material and this was just a good way of getting it together in one place. & I'm not recognising bits of it.
Has a different take on I Unseen with the riff audible but somehow not quite as intense and beating teh psych rush by about a year.
Also surprised to hear that some of the material from the Goldstar sessions wound up on the Golden Glass mini lp cos i thought that was a later line up. & i thought I had those 2 sets together as a 2cd from the mid 90s.
Anyway hangs together pretty well, just not quite as otherworldly as the psychedelic stuff from a year or so later.

//e.snmc.io/i/300/w/53f88d9add846130753133da0f166fec/5557777
The Pop Group's reunion lp. Listenable but definitely not as otherworldly as the turn of the 80s stuff.
I was sorting through some stuff in my room when i found I had this and hadn't listened to it in a couple of years.
Sounds like they learnt how to play instead of attempting to play beyond their capabilities.
Y remains one of my favourite lps as does We Are Time.

FUCK yeah. Love the bits of d-beat in it, it's so raw. The Force is really good, too, but PFH is a masterpiece

John Dwyer and ten other band members who are not calling themselves OSEES but are instead playing Can/electric-Miles-style jazzfunk fusion that's actually really good IMO - Moon-Drenched https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a2679881513_10.jpg
