Jean-Michel Jarre - Oxygène 7-13
A la Ping Pong - Extrem Musik à la Ping Pong Phase 1 Mother Superior - s/t Salada de Frutas - Crime Perfeito (First listen. I heard their last album was a failure in sales, it could only mean one thing in 1982. Easily their best.) The Awakening - Hear, Sense and Feel (I discovered this obscure Jazz band on the radio two days ago. Incredible album  )Motorpsycho - Here Be Monsters (Definitely better than "Behind the Sun")

Judas Priest - Defenders of The Faith - This'll wake you up in the morning, any day of the week! Freewheeel Burniiiiiiiiinn!!!!!!!
 Rick Wakeman - Six Wives of Henry VIII - Ah, probably the one tasteful album of his entire solo career. Very well done symphonic prog, and a keyboard lover's paradise. Always a delight to put this one on, even if "Rick Wakeman On Ice" is my absolute favourite thing prog has ever produced.  Boston - Boston - One of the great feelgood albums of all time! Hard not to belt out each and every track on here, it's just so melodic and catchy. Lynyrd Skynyrd - Pronounced [Leh-nerd Skin-nerd] - God, this is such a masterpiece. Ronnie Van Zant = my #1 favourite singer and lyricist of all time. The ballads on here are so gorgeous (the mellotron is Tuesday's Gone is spine-chillingly beautiful), and everything else just plain rocks (with the demo Gimme Three Steps substituted in for that extra honky tonk goodness, of course). And Free Bird, FM staple as it is (or so they say; I actually have yet to ever hear this on the radio), will blow any of your wimpy prog epics out of the water 9 times out of 10. There's only one problem with it, though; the guitar solo's way too short!  Harmonium - Si On Avait Besoin d'Une Cinquième Saison - Ha, of all the albums to turn up on shuffle to follow up Free Bird, I just happen to get one of the lightest and most laid back ones in my collection!
Not that I'm complaining, though; this is another one of my all-time faves. So many happy memories and associations with this one. And Serge Fiori's voice is just exceptional. A perfect album for any season!Edited by Magnum Vaeltaja - December 12 2016 at 21:50 |

 I'll keep this in mind for when I go hunting for some live SM. Thanks.
Hmm...guess that wasn't you then. Well, they're easily my favourite Canterbury act. Love both of their albums, and pretty much equally too. I used to prefer Rotters' Club slightly, but lately I've been more in the mood for their debut. Anyway, last few days for me: King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King King Crimson - In the Wake of Poseidon Emerson Lake & Palmer - s/t Emerson Lake & Palmer - Tarkus Emerson Lake & Palmer - Pictures at an Exhibition Emerson Lake & Palmer - Trilogy Emerson Lake & Palmer - Brain Salad Surgery Emerson Lake & Palmer - Welcome Back My Friends to the Show That Never Ends ~ Ladies and Gentlemen Emerson Lake & Palmer - Works Vol. 1 Emerson Lake & Palmer - Black Moon (RIP Greg  )Bugge Wesseltoft - It's Snowing on My Piano John Zorn - A Dreamers Christmas Ulver - Blood Inside Also, belated happy birthday, Nick.
 Hope you had a good one.Edited by The Bearded Bard - December 12 2016 at 16:41 |

Bubu - Anabelas - Ah, how satisfying it is to know that objective perfection exists in this world.
PFM - Storia Di Un Minuto - How about that for a follow up, courtesy of shuffle! Again, a fantastic journey from start to finish, all in a tight, little 35-minute bundle.

Sun Ra - Lanquidity Yes, this is my favorite Sun Ra album. I like inaccessable music, but in Sun Ra's case, the less "difficult" part of the discography wins me over. However, that is not to say that this album is not weird. It is! It is very weird. It's phenomenally orchestrated, unorthodoxly composed, and originally performed. And that's what I value the most.
Stomu Yamash'ta with Come to the Edge - Floating World Beautiful, beautiful music. Similarly to my previous listen, this is also "phenomenally orchestrated, unorthodoxly composed, and originally performed." The band makes some beautiful textures using this Farfisa organ, vibraphone, and electric piano. Melodies shake hands with free-improvisation and exotic percussion workouts. Another excellent album. Klaus Schulze & Günter Schickert - The Schulze-Schickert Session This is your usual early Berlin School period Klaus Schulze recording, but it's very interesting nonetheless. Sadly, there is not all that much Günter Schickert on this album, it sounds mainly like Klaus Schulze playing alone with some really fresh ideas. I like this album, though. Recommended! Miles Davis - Live Evil Oh boy, this might be my favorite Miles Davis album. I think it is. It takes everything I like about his fusion period and puts it into a lengthy, fulfilling, energetic live performance. Every musician does such amazing work on here. And the cover is lovely. A near-to-perfect album, if I ever heard one! |

Indeed, Michael, "truly original in its own way" is the way to put it. It's very kind of you, I bet your friend will be happy with the present. |

Great album, Tymon! Truly quite original in its own way, it really grew on me! It was a blind-buy that turned out really well. Actually, an older friend of mine heard my CD of it earlier this year and flipped out over it, so I've actually bought her the CD for Christmas!

Yesterday:
Nucleus - We'll Talk About It Later As good as jazz-fusion gets. What a fantastic album this is! For some odd reason, I had not associated the riff from "Song For the Bearded Lady" with the phrase from Soft Machine's "Hazard Profile", though I knew Karl Jenkins did transport some Nucleus material to Soft Machine. Really amazing, creative, well-balanced music. Sun Ra - Secrets of the Sun A really good Sun Ra album. I find it really defines what Sun Ra has been up to at the time. I had not been familiar with the version of "Love in Outer Space" from here and was quite surprised to find out how it originally used to be very dissonant. "Solar Symbols", the percussion-led closer, is phenomenal, as well. Just wish the recording quality was better on this album, but what would Sun Ra's music be without the noisy background? Partick Vian - Bruits Et Temps Analogues This is some very well-arranged, jazz-fusion-informed electronic music. I really like the blend of atmospheres and contrast on this album. It goes from dancable new-age a la Tim Blake to Wendy Carlos-inspired orchestral synth melodies to jazz-fusion sort of in the vein of Weather Report. Larry Young - Lawrence of Newark However, this is the album of the day. What an absolute monster this is! It's experimental, uncompromising, highly original and very pleasant at the same time. Larry Young's overdriven Hammond works really well in this avant-spritual-world-fusion context. Terrific music! Saw Lustmord live The amazing Lustmord played here in Lublin the other night and his show was excellent. There was so much deep bass, I could feel my guts shaking, as was the whole building. The film projection was beautiful and complimented the music really well. Those 60 minutes went by very quickly. Great concert. Edited by ALotOfBottle - December 11 2016 at 01:44 |

Siouxsie and the Banshees - "Tinderbox": I like the fact that this is a pretty well mixed guitar-based rock release, especially for something that came out in 1986 when a lot of producers thought "glossy and sterile" would never one day sound terribly dated. Starts off real good with "Candyman".
Siouxsie and the Banshees - "Peepshow": This '88 followup is a lot more poppy, but still retains a bit of goth flair (though not a lot). "Peek-A-Boo" remains one of the weirder pop tunes out there to this day. Vaudville Betty Boop with a "reverse" horn section and 80's borderline industrial drums. It's alright but not a fav album. Siouxsie and the Banshees - "Superstition" - Funny how this early 90's release hasn't aged well production-wise compared to much of their 80's stuff. It's okay though since some of these poppish ditties are real gems ("Kiss Them for Me", "Shadowtime"). Besides, not many pop albums have such a great haunting gloom-monster such as "Drifter" on their track-lists.
