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

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

^ 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

Early 70s jazz guitar lp reflecting the influences of the time. Released originally on the black Jazz lp which is getting a reissue series at teh moment. Really nice lp so Glad i came across it, think I will be looking for other titles in the series on the strength of it.

//e.snmc.io/i/300/w/7e720aad96e9c44b58a1e12f91920ed2/1605216
Zappa mid 70-s. I think I lose interest in him shortly after this but the music here is pretty cool· Some of the smugness I hate about him is pretty conspicuous though.
BUt yeah do like some of this, mainly the instrumental passages. Do love that gamelan or whatever derived thing he was doing a couple of years earlier too. & the 60s incarnation of the Mothers were pretty good too.

//e.snmc.io/i/300/w/29fd87b19e9ac82e426bfc3176d047b7/6010505
local area influenced late 50s/early 60s r'n'r era greatness. I think I need more of the series, I think ideally all of the By The Bayou stuff by Ace and the time to become familiar with it as well as all the other stuff i want to hear..
But this is the one cd I have in this specific part of the series which also has a line specialising in r'n'b and one more rock'n' roll focused.

//e.snmc.io/i/300/w/5856ea5e6c36a5c3605319ebd3c990e6/1421077
I think I'd dismiss this as commercial grunge or something, though its about 10 years late for that. heavy psychy stuff. has some semi decent bits in it. But I don't really remember having bought this. Could be I picked it up in a local sale or something based on the cover or so9me variation on that scenario.
I found it a few weeks ago in the place of the 3rd cd in my Grateful Dead Dick's Picks #16. So I really hope that GD disc is somewhere in my room
THis is pretty enjoyable

this is so good, it's like an avant-garde summer album - sort of avant-garden.
