Okay I will start this ridiculousness.

Citizen Cain - Serpents in Camoflage and Somewhere but Yesterday. This British neo prog band sounds like Genesis when they recorded Foxtrot and Nursery Cryme. Pretty damn good stuff. :cool:

Pendragon - The World - more great stuff from these neo proggers.

Pallas - The Sentinel - great neo prog.

Ayreon - into the electric castle - no explanation needed.

Pendragon - Utrect - great live gig.

Acoustic Galahad - good stuff from these British proggers. Different.

Also watched Star One dvd, Nektar dvd, Aliens, the new old Pink Floyd dvd (yawn), and Deep Purple dvd.

I take too long to type sometimes and I wasn't able to actually delete the duplicate thread but I did my best to shut it down and move stuff here.

As usual only going to list the new ones, so it's a very sparse list this week.

Dave Brubeck Quartet-Time Out (this acutally came from the library) s'ok. Probably the most enjoyable Jazz disc I've checked out yet.

Pat Matheny-One Quiet Night (library) 2003 release and it's just a solo baritone guitar album. A couple of gorgeous songs that I really enjoy but overall it's a bit boring to me.

Alien Ant Farm-Anthology-man do I hate this thing.

Chemical Brothers-Singles 93-03-I think they missed some singles but I bought it for "that one track" that I can't get elsewhere. "The Golden Path" with the Flaming Lips, what an awesome track! Overall a decent disc is you don't have any Block Rockin' Beat techno but you know you should have at least a little. Look, I have Blues, Jazz and Classical so a little Chemical Brothers isn't going to kill you, at least I don't think it will.

Richard X Presents His X Factor vol. !-Varied electronica but I favor the electro clash favored variety that's used on several of the tracks. Only one listen but so far I like most of it a great deal.

Next!

All over the board this past week in terms of styles.

One of my recent faves is Bomb Squad - "Sophistafunk". As the title would suggest, its a littly funky.

Also:
Robert Randolph and the Family Band - "Unclassified". Overall good stuff. Great musically, but the lyrics to some of the tunes are pretty bland.
Living Daylights - Electric Rosary
Gobal Funk Council - Keep on Pushin'
Either/Orchestra - Neo-modernism
Ray's Music Exchange - Turango
Modereko - s/t
Charlie Parker - Charlie Parker with Strings: the Master Takes
The Duke Ellington Orchestra - Digital Duke
Acoustic Alchemy - Arcanum
Louis Armstrong - Great Original Live Performances
Acoustic Syndicate - Live From the Neighborhood
Bernie Williams - can't remember the title, but his debut CD

As an added bonus, the missus and I have a doctors appointment today where i hope to find out the sex of the 4-month old fetus occupying my wife's midsection at the moment. Cletus the Fetus is its name for now.

NP: Where ever you are - Bomb Squad

cd's:

John Guilt, The Mirrors and Uncle Sam- warming up to this one still.
The Shins, Chutes Too Narrow- doesn't get it done for me.
Joe Henry, Tiny Voices- ditto The Shins
Vic Chesnutt, Drunk- always gets it done.
Band of Blacky Ranchette, Stii Lookin Good To Me- excellent-o
My Morning Jacket's latest- very nice
The Band, Cahoots remaster- especially fine on a chilly desert evening

.....etc

minor vinyl haul on Sunday:

pick of the litter: Harvey Mandel's The Snake- (splurged at $3.99,mint and super)- long time since I heard this stuff.
Will The Circle Be Unbroken, $3, but worth every nickel.
Second Contribution, Shawn Phillips- another one I haven't heard in eons- spacey, strange music laced into some beautiful 12-string guitars.
2 Thomas Dolby lps from the early 80's (I think), for Unklebob. I don't care for that stuff.
5 or 6 more that I can't remember right now. :confused:

A little this and that. Nothing new, so I'll try to keep it brief...

Some jazz
Miles Davis and Chet Baker mostly, Workin' and Relaxin' from Miles and Chet Baker Sings. All good stuff.

Some real oldies
A good compilation od WWII era pop hits called Those Were Our Songs. A good introduction to songs of the 40s. Also played some Spade Cooley, good Western Swing from the late 40s-early 50s.

A bit of electronic stuff
Played the first Babble CD, an underated gemm in my opinion. Also listened to some Electronic Skychurch: Sonic Diary, a disc that has done nothing but grow on me with each listen, abstract electronic blips and bleeps, but you hear something new every time.

Industrial stuff
Like I mentioned in another thread, listened to some industrial stuff, mostly old Wax Trax! tunes, including a stack of 12" singles and the Black Box set.

Rock
Not a lot of rock lately, but I did listen to some AC/DC and soe Bad Brains. Played Notwist: Noen Golden too, never seems to get old.

That's enough for now. Next...

I love Babble! Haven't played that in a while but first I need to revisist that Electronic SkyChurch disc. I threw in the towel pretty quickly but I did keep it hoping that someday it would appeal. Maybe today's the day.

Have a great week.

Copper Temple Clause - Kick up the flames....pretty solid album

Josh Ritter - Hello Starling, outstanding album probably the best in a long time in the folk genre. I recommend it to anybody.

Lemonjelly - Lost Horizons

Yello - Essential, wacky 80's electronica from a couple of Swiss blokes

Jet - Get Born

Inspired Baubles - my best of the year comp, but I wish I'd included a Josh Ritter track now.

Jazz comp

ps Jim I'm glad you sort of liked the Dave Brubeck Cd there's a track from it on my classic jazz comp I've just posted today to you.

Cheers

Troy,

The Star One dvd is a very enjoyable watch.

Somehow they pull off those weird ass Ayreon songs and Star One songs quite well.

They have a rotating 3 man lead singer formula which works well, and at times they all sing together but not that much.

Arjen is a tall skinny long haired Swede dood who "runs" the band per se.

I guess the keyboard player is "flood" or whomever, but I can't tell if it is a man or woman. The bassist and drummer do a great job too.

Very good sound and video quality.

Lotsa good stuff out there now on dvd.

Today's play:

Rockfour - Another Beginning - a rock group from Israel but you'd never be able to tell that just by listening. They have a very jangly-Byrds vibe going on on a couple of tracks and Beatley/Lennonesque harmonies melded with a vintage late 60's psychedelic sound/influence along with interesting compositions to boot. Incense & blacklights highly recommended. If you need a second opinion, here's the Pitchfork review: http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/record-reviews/r/rockfour/another-beginning.shtml

Here's another review: http://www.rockfour.com/media/index.php?media=press&id=11&backlink=/media/index.php

Otherwise, I've mostly been going back through comps I burned 2 and 3 years ago and enjoying the freshness of rediscovery.

Not much else of note at the moment but if I think of something, I'll come back and add it, FWIW.

working on comps for my uncle.. his time was the late 60's/ early 70's, like a lot of yuns..

so, I've been ripping stuff out of many comps, totally taking them out of context and perhaps ruining the intended flows as such..

there's lots of awesome music on the following comps:

Living in the Past (JDaniel)
A Day in the Life of a Head (Hyfi?)
Steely Dan comp (the Hyfi's)
Moody Blues comps (PPG)
Stems, Seeds, 1970 comps (DLD)
1974 (Audiobill)
Just say WO! & that Accoustic comp (Mr. Midfi)
plus others assorted songs. .thanks maf, davey, slosh, Rae, others..

I'll post about them when they're done.

plus spun some Crimson..
Court of the Crimson King
Starless and Bible Black

and some Dead: One From the Vault (a very nice performance of "Franklin's Tower")

some classical:

Bruckner Symphony #6, Stanislaw Scrowaczewski, on Ars Nova.. a VERY nice recording.. I just read his whole cycle is out.. I'll have to investigate further.

Mahler Symphony #5, Solti, Chicago Symphony (early 90's recording)

Manfred Mann's Earth Band - The Best Of
Gene Love Jezebel - Heavenly Bodies
Tubeway Army - Replicas
XTC - Oranges and Lemons
Joe Jackson - Look Sharp!
Uriah Heep - Abominog
Uriah Heep - Salisbury
Uriah Heep - Innocent Victim
Wishbone Ash - Twin Barrels Burning
Moody Blues - To Our Childrens Childrens Children
Porcupine Tree - Lightbulb Sun
Clapton - Another Ticket

I wanted to introduce myself to some Jazz so on the recommendations from the folks here I bought Brubecks' Time Out and Coltranes' Blue Train. Now, I'm not an avid listener of Jazz but these are both very fine albums and I'm happy with these purchases. I think I may get some Miles Davis and Thelonius Monk next.

Johnny Cash - American IV: The Man Comes Around
Johnny Cash - At San Quentin

Like Jazz, I'm not an avid listener of country/western music. However, the late Johnny Cash is one man I will always enjoy.

I saw the Greig piano concerto performed Saturday night with the local symphony........the pianist was Jorge Frederico Osorio -- awesome.

As for the weekly list -- it is a bit odd:

All of the Wilson/Gann tunes so we could compare the sonices/production of the latest stuff.
Train of Thought -- DREAM THEATER
Prog Covers -- a comp from BarryL
Hungarian Rhapsodies -- Liszt
PolymorphicProg -- a comp from Troy
ST -- Mike & the Mechanics
UK -- UK
Fly Like the Wind -- McCoy Tyner

Listened to all of my BMG discount purchases...thanks again to whoever posted that link (JC, was that you?), which include the following:

Wilco - Summerteeth
Rush - Farewell to Kings (remaster)
Best of Velvet Underground
Radiohead - The Bends
Dave Matthews Band - Under the Table & Dreaming
John Lennon - Collection
The Who - Tommy (remaster)

I'm also digging the assorted Bowie tunes and live Springsteen selected cuts I downloaded from Apple's iTunes and burned to disc. I now also have 81 songs from various artists in my dump cart that I have yet to download/purchase.

Also...The Notwist - Neon Golden (perfect for a rainy day)
Steely Dan - Royal Scam (remaster)
The Strokes' new one (me likes)

Tried to listen to Finch's Halloween thingy, but it doesn't play in my car for some reason. And I forgot to bring Slosh's year-end disc with me today (muchas gracias, amigo).

Still liking the new Rush and Peter Gabriel DVDs, but only have time to play bits and pieces now and then.

I plan to buy the new U2 live DVD and Queen's Night at the Opera for my wife today. She turns 40 in 4 days (yes, she was born the day JFK was shot...and no, that's not ALL I'm getting for her).

It's got a couple of decent tracks but for the most part it has a very dated 1982 sound. Yeah, the cover art is gruesome indeed.

The earlier stuff from Heep is by far their best work, imo.

I usually lurk & learn, but sometimes feel compelled to write...

Darren,

If you enjoyed Time Out and Blue Train, and you're looking for some Miles and Monk, may I suggest:

Miles' - Kind of Blue
Monk's - Oh Yeah!

These are both good introductions to these great artists.

I too make an exception to my normal Country bias with Johnny Cash, and I just heard American IV: The Man Comes Around last week, and really enjoyed it. Seemed very poignant in light of his passing.

Hope you like the Jazz,
Mysterio

Been mostly listening to some new CDs that I've gotten in the last week or so including....

Nina Nastasia - Run to Ruin
Wheat - Per Second, Per Second, Per Second...Every Second
Laika - Wherever I Am I Am What Is Missing
Josh Ritter - Hello Starling
Califone - Deceleration Two
Head of Femur - Ringodom or Proctor

The Head of Femur disc is destined to be one of my yearly favorites, no doubt of that already. Played it a lot the last week and just love it. Lots of the same appeal as The Flaming Lips Soft Bulletin with many layers of production. But in this case, mostly with real instrumentation more akin to some of the Elephant 6 collective releases such as Neutral Milk Hotel and Olivia Tremor Control. Very nice collection of songs with the usual nods to the Beach Boys and Love and the Beatles and other orchestrated pop bands, but also XTC and Talking Heads and the irrepressible Brian Eno in his madcap and often nonsensical pop persona from the mid 70s. They even do a stimulatingly manic cover of his The True Wheel. Brilliant stuff. You wonder what these guys could do with a big recording budget and a mainstream sounding singer, or at least maybe a stronger mixing of the vocals and some pitch work :-). But this kind of charming music doesn't exist outside of the little indie labels anymore, in this case Greyday Productions in Portland. Ever heard of Presto! Recording Studios in Nebraska? That's what I thought....unless you're already a big Bright Eyes fan or something. Lots of info on the web but the review at Splendid (http://www.splendidezine.com/review.html?reviewid=106552196611105) is a good overview of their sound. There's also a few MP3 at the label site (http://www.greydayproductions.com/bands/femur.html)....also a cool live version of The True Wheel along with another song at the band site (http://www.headoffemur.com/things.html)

http://headoffemur.com/hof_images/splash.jpg

Also, just got the 2003 Sloshmix yesterday and got in one spin so far. Pretty cool. Not a lot I haven't heard already but pretty cool just the same. Even though we have many of the same albums this year I think our year-end comps are gonna be markedly different in many respects. Been listening to my own 2003 mix on the computer as well and making some adjustments. Still need to pare it down by a few tracks and make some adjustments. Starting to get too much good music coming in and running out of room so many of my favorites are destined to be in the leftover pile this year :-)

Never really listened to him very much, but 2nd Contribution is very, very good- and hard to pigeon-hole. Next time I'm in that LP joint, I'll pick up his album Faces, which I've never heard.

Josh Ritter - Hello Starling, outstanding album probably the best in a long time in the folk genre. I recommend it to anybody.

Inspired Baubles - my best of the year comp, but I wish I'd included a Josh Ritter track now.


Hi Mike, that is a good album. I've had the Snow is Gone song (which is kind of like the tilte track) in my song bucket for my year-end comp for awhile now but not sure what to do with it yet. I'll probably pick a different song or maybe wind up leaving this album for a different comp since it doesn't fit in too well with the other songs on the comp. Really nice early Dylan crossed with Steve Earle feel through much of it with maybe a bit of Bob Neuwirth in his voice as well. Lots of good songs. Americana, love it or leave it :-)

BTW, speaking of Americana, they did have a really nice writeup at the http://www.americana-uk.com/html/september_03.html site a couple months ago which is what initially interested me in it. They might have gone just a little overboard with praise but I do like it a lot, as apparently do you.

Davey.
11-18-2003, 04:19 PM
How is this one? I had taken notice because Mick Turner plays guitar on it.

Really nice one although I've really only given the whole thing one listen. Not much different from her last Albini session which was one of my favorites from last year, The Blackened Air, although this one is quite a bit shorter at only about 31 minutes. Eight songs. Very quiet. If you wanna give her a try I would probably rec the last one first, even though it's with different drummers. This one is very spare and will probably take some time to appreciate, although there's a song in the middle called Superstar that sounds quite a bit like a Mazzy Star acoustic number and may just wind up on my year-end comp. Very lovely :-)

Edit: Just dawned on me that you said Mick Turner and not Jim White. While they both make up the Dirty Three rhythm section, I think only Jim White is on this album. No mention of Turner and I think Nina plays most of the guitar parts, although Gerry Leonard is also credited. Could it be an uncredited appeaarance? They were both on the Cat Power Moon Pix album supporting Chan but I'm sure you already knew that.

No wonder I couldn't find that. Just kidding.

Hey, I just bought Miles' Birth of the Cool, Porgy and Bess and Miles Smiles. Only listened to Birth thus far. I looked for Monk's Brilliant Corners but it was out of stock.

And you sound like you may be our friend Mad Rhetorik, Mr. Mysterio, for whom these suggestions came from.
