Word! It's one of my favorite non-Magma zeuhl albums. Have you already tried Eskaton's 4 Visions? It's equally amazing! Edited by ALotOfBottle - October 16 2016 at 00:50 |

Midday study break:
King Crimson - In The Wake of Poseidon - One of my all-time favourites, I don't even compare this one to Court anymore since it just stands so well on its own. Pictures of A City - man, is there anyone out there playing stuff this hectic these days? Michael Giles kills on this one, and Fripp and Collins just go berserk, especially at the end when they just start trashing their instruments - I love it. And Cadence and Cascade must be the sweetest collection sounds I've ever heard. Collins' fluttering flute, Keith Tippet's impressionist piano touches, even Gordon Haskell sounds divine here, and this is no doubt some of Fripp's most memorable acoustic work. The title track is monumental as always, with the sumptuous layers of mellotron and Greg Lake's powerful voice creating such evocative imagery. I adore the drum sound in this one; Michael Giles fills sound so full and fluid. And side two is just as great, with the gorgeous Peace: A Theme, scathingly funny Cat Food and The Devil's Triangle. I'll be honest, I prefer Holst's original Mars, but in the context of the album, this does a great job at freaking you right out so that Peace: An End sinks right into your soul and clears your head; it's very therapeutic in a way. 10/10 album, no doubt. Edit: This evening: Weidorje - Weidorje - My first listen of this album, and the next instalment in the "expanding my zeuhl horizons" series. This may be one of my favourite finds from the genre so far. It's the first zeuhl I've ever heard that rocks and grooves like this one does! The opening track is so funky; I can see myself putting this on when I'm partying with some aliens in some kind of intergalactic party UFO with an orgy-fuelled warp drive. Awesome stuff! Acqua Fragile - Acqua Fragile - Another first listen, decided to pick this one on a whim. I'm not really feeling it tonight, though. The instrumentalists in the group are tight, with some nice keyboard and guitar trade-off licks going on, but the singer kind of kills it for me. For now, at least. This is one I'll have to revisit. Alas - Alas - See my latest review. I'm not quite as keen on this one as their second album, Pinta Tu Aldea, but fans of Argentinian prog should check certainly check out both.

Loads of studying, so only one today, even though it's Saturday.
Frank Zappa - Lumpy Gravy I'm really liking it, I can't see why it gets such low ratings. Almost seems as if because this music is quite esoteric and simply difficult, more fans used to Zappa's more accessible classic works dislike this. Very strange music and I love it that way. Not only is it really original, but it's also incredibly entertaining. |

I agree, I think "In My Tribe" is their most boring. If you have a chance try those earlier albums. They were more exciting like Hope Chest.

It was alright. A handful of songs were pretty well written but the rest were a tad underwhelming. They've got some talent but they don't do anything very exciting or especially interesting.

Deep Purple - In Concert (Disc 1) - Disc one is my preferred of the two, recorded in 1970 to promote In Rock. Speed King gets you fist-pumping and head banging right from the get-go, Child In Time lays down some major heavy prog cred, and Wring That Neck may be one of the finest instrumental rock jams set to tape. My only point of contention with this set is the jamming on Mandrake Root, which meanders a bit much, but it's not quite as bad as what they'd do on Space Truckin' in a year or two.
Ted Nugent - Hunt Music - Not a legitimate album, so much as a compilation of all of Uncle Ted's hunting-inspired tracks, of which I only actually have 5 in my iTunes library. Having said that, they're some of the very best tracks he ever recorded.

YEEAAAAHHHHH!!! Love that album. The only thing I'm not huge on is the version of Gimme Three Steps they recorded for the original record; I much prefer the demo version that they included in the 3-disc 1991 box set. It has a more "get-up-and-go" honky tonk drive to it that the album version sort of lacks. |

John Coltrane - Kulu Sé Mama Great ‘Trane album! Besides ustal sax virtuosity from Pharoah Sanders and the God himself, Elvin Jones and Frank Butler do magnificent work on drums here. This album keeps great balance between free improvisation and modal composition. Allegedly John Coltrane is investigating his African roots here, but I did not really catch that. Anyway, I will need to listen to this one again, as at the given point in time, my mind was, at least partly, split between music and something else. Recommended! Frank Zappa & The Mothers of Invention - Uncle Meat Wooooow!!! This is by far my favorite Zappa album. And what a monster this is. It’s like a long story. It’s got everything! From intricate compositions that evidently inspired Henry Cow and the Canterbury lads, to tongue-in-cheek soul doo-wop songs, to musique concrete collages, this is a highly intoxicating adventure through an unknown universe. The 37-minute audio track from what I take to be Zappa’s imaginary movie is hilarious. Excellent album! Popol Vuh - Hosianna Mantra Although I much prefer Popol Vuh’s early electronic period to their ethnic works, I’ve found the latter really fascinating lately. This album is just simply beautiful in the truest meaning of the word. The compositions are well-thought and the arrangements really make the music come alive. The electric guitar is definitely not out of place with trance-like vocals, oboe, and grand piano in this hypnotic semi-eastern atmosphere. Great! Ryoko Ono & Rogier Smal - Woodmoon I like free jazz, I really do. And I like zeuhl. Ryoko Ono deals with both and after reading Keishiro’s recent enthusiastic review of this work, I decided I would want to check it out. This is exactly how I like it. With just drums and sax, these two musicians make you forget about the broad instrumentation. I watched some experimental movies from the 20’s and 30’s with accompanying and it works surprisingly well! Try it! |

 Trovante - Chão Nosso (First listen. A quite straitforward 70's Folk album with a surprising 9 minute track that screams Genesis) PFM - Passpartù (First listen. Thanks for reminding me to check this one, Michael. It's a very nice album  )Lynyrd Skynyrd - (Pronounced 'Lĕh-'nérd 'Skin-'nérd) (I was feeling like listening to this
