Friday (when weekend started): Faust: the Last LP Heard this today first time. Faust breakuped in the seventies, but small label released this and other album in the eighties from their old recordings. This got tapes recorded in 1971. Not totally unheard, some pieces evolved into "the Faust Tapes" and "Faust IV". Anyway this includes quite typical Faust-music, some parts are really relaxed and some really anarchy. There are some really great pieces, but not the greatest Faust-album as whole, but satisfies fans needs.
Dr. John: Anutha Zone It has said history repeats itself. In the seventies Brit musicians (for example Eric Clapton & Mick Jagger) want to make album with Dr. John, in nineties same happens in this album. Here are Paul Weller and musicians from Supergrass & Spiritualized. All the way this is doctorīs best album of the nineties, it has spirit of his four first great records, but still sound really nineties record. Specially that old, New Orleans spirit is in "Ki Ya Gris Gris", "John Gris", "I Like Ki Yoka" & "The Olive Tree". And all of those who thought doctor was an evil man he sang in "I Donīt Wanna Know" as "I donīt wanna know about evil, I only wanna know about love". Also in "the Stroke" as "so the devil he can go to straight to hell".
Robert Johnson: King Of Delta Blues Singers I may be wrong, but I think this is the most important album of the popular music! Robert was quite unknown before this, but when this came in 1961, many musicians really got influences from this, for example Eric Clapton & Bob Dylan. Keith Richards has also said Robertīs pieces as Bach miniatures and I really agree with him! His songs happen just so much more than just delta-blues! Greatest bluesmen sounds like whole orchestra. I really love Cream, but their version of Crossroads is really bland comparing the original. And after you listened these great pieces, the last one is the greatest: "Hellhound On My Trail" has so much pain of heart & soul that nobody else have ever managed to put it as much in one song! Robert was first delta bluesmen to me and I have really started to love many other after him, but still heīs the best!

Even For Calvin sounded better than I'd remembered. The title-track is obviously great, get's slightly bogged down in the middle part but comes back really strong. One of my absolute favorite Zappa tunes, so good.
Cletus Awreetus-Awrightus is short but really good. Energetic and just a blast.
Eat That Question is obviously great. Sounded fantastic.
Blessed Relief - Well if you've heard the song then you already know. So relaxing and just masterful.
My goodness that's a great album. That just sounded so good. I don't know what to say about it. It's one of my favorite Frank Zappa albums so I think that says it all. |
I have listened this once or twice, what I remembered it it was nothing special to me, but not bad. Maybe have to listen this again.

Great to hear hereīs somebody else as big Waits fan as I! Whatīs Brawler?

Roy Harper: Bullinamingvase Really love this spiritual acoustic troubadour! This is not Royīs greatest album, but really great anyway! As almost every album after Stormcock this has also quite much electric instruments. To proglovers itīs very interesting information, that also this album has a long, great epic "One Of Those Days In England" that starts from the side one and last the whole second side.
Comus: Out Of the Coma This their comeback album from 2012 has lots more common with great "First Utterance" than their second, much more popmusic album (that I also really love). First side three songs are really great! I donīt know how many else as I have wondered, could they have made second side also as great new material, but on the other hand I really understand they wanted to release the only recording from their "Malgaard Suite" from 1972. So sad this recording has so poor audio quality, earlier times that has caused my concentration going somewhere else. But today I really concentrated this piece and understood how great it is! We just can imagine, how great their cancelled second album would have been, if their record company had been with their project!
J J Cale: Live This is the only official Cale live album, released in 2001. Songs are recorded in many gigs from nineties. Here are many old Cale "hits", "After Midnight", "Cocaine", "Call Me the Breeze", "Sensitive Kind" & "Magnolia", but also newer pieces and I think also at least really great "Old Man" that I donīt remembered to have a studio version. Itīs great almost all the songs are at least little bit rearranged. I think this is the most intimate live-album with really positive vibe! Itīs really great to hear also really good playing without anybodyīs need to show his skills.

Now that album was a masterpiece. That was great.

What!! If I have to say one Traffic piece that I think is the greatest, it will be this! I think itīs really profound and great piece, full of lifeīs hardness! Also, Johnny Winter has made a great cover from it (his version was first I heard). I like really also Vagabond Virgin, specially those interludes are really great. I hope you will listen those pieces again! Of course it could be matter of different tastes, it seems you donīt like as much kind of sorrow pieces than I.
Anyway really great you liked this great album and I can say you will like all the other Traffic-albums (maybe even their comeback album "Far From Home" which is my least favorite). |
I'll probably listen to the whole album again at some point. It's very good!

Just a great album. For a long time it was my favorite by Caravan. Now it's For Girls Who Grow Plump in the Night, that's just such a kick *** album. All of their first 7 are really good though imo, even Blind Dog at St. Dunstans I enjoy a lot.

Yes, all their seventies albums (also two last one) are really good, but I think only those first three are really great!

You seem to like that guy a lot, I see you mentioning him on here quite a bit. I'm definitely more of a Zappa fan, but there are some Beefheart albums that I really like. And I do absolutely think he's underrated.. but still he's not Frank(at least for me).
And that first album, my goodness(1928-1930) you're really going back far now. Next you'll be doing some album from 1895 or something like that. Not sure how much further back you can go.
|
I guess I can say myself Beefheart-maniac, I even like his "Unconditionally" & "Moonbeams"-albums, although theyīre of course lot weaker than his masterpieces (oooov, that word again!). Frank doesnīt come even close to me.
And no age limits in any direction in my music taste, I guess the oldest is Hildegard Of Bingen music from 1000-1100). And I have quite much enjoyed Radiopuhelimet and Ranaldo/Refree-albums of this year. |
What. So you prefer the Rolling Stones to the Beatles, and Captain Beefheart to... my man Frank. I can't believe this. Oh well, it's ok. Everyone has different tastes in music and it's ok that's normal.
|
I donīt know can I fully explain these things, but I guess main think is that already very beginning I just have followed my intuition in music listening. Fact is you love what you love & canīt love what you donīt love if youīre honest to yourself. About Frankie & Captain...I loved Captain immediately when I heard him first time in the eighties. From Zappa I saw first television concert (does humor belong into music), I liked it, but one thing that was right way I didnīt like heīs voice and thatīs still the same. One reason I love some much his 60ties albums is that he has then really great singers and not sing all the tunes himself. But itīs also musical reason, I think those sixties albums are genius pieces and after that he less or more repeated his old ideas.
But thatīs just me, I know also in Finland musicians that probably will hit me about these Beefheart/Zappa opinions.

Wow, I'm glad I went back to them! That was really good.
My notes..
First song was groovin, I liked it.
I was jamming out to Pearly Queen.
Don't Be Sad - also really good.
Feelin' Alright I've obviously heard before. Great song.
Vagabond sounds somewhat fillerish.
Forty Thousand Headmen was pretty cool.
Cryin' To Be Heard was really good.
No Time to Live - somewhat fillerish
Means to an End - really good, jammin
All in all very good album I would say. Right on.

I liked that album a lot as a teenager, and it is very good but not an all-time great album or anything. But it is quite good.
Everyone knows the big hits from it like Dreams, Why Can't This Be Love, Best of Both Worlds, etc. Then there are some songs that people might not know like the opening track. Good Enough is.. just that. Sammy seems like he's trying to sound like Dave in some parts. Get Up is a pretty good straightforward song, but sounds a little... fillerish. And then the last song Inside is cool sounding, but again... slightly... fillerish.
All in all a very good album though obviously, and I really enjoyed listening to it again.
|
I really like all their Lee Roth-albums, but when Sammy came, it went really boring IMO.

Thinking Fellers Union Local 282: Wormed by Leonard This is their first album from 1988, originally released only in c-cassette, but they released it themselves as vinyl & cd in 1995. They were making already then their great Beefheart-influenced country-punk, specially this album some pieces reminds Meat Puppets. In this vinyl version has last side bonus-tracks not from original cassette, some of them are quite messy, but "Trevor" & "If I were In a Shoe" are really great, so is funny Beefheart piece "Squidder Boy". |
You seem to like that guy a lot, I see you mentioning him on here quite a bit. I'm definitely more of a Zappa fan, but there are some Beefheart albums that I really like. And I do absolutely think he's underrated.. but still he's not Frank(at least for me).
And that first album, my goodness(1928-1930) you're really going back far now. Next you'll be doing some album from 1895 or something like that. Not sure how much further back you can go.

I guess I can say myself Beefheart-maniac, I even like his "Unconditionally" & "Moonbeams"-albums, although theyīre of course lot weaker than his masterpieces (oooov, that word again!). Frank doesnīt come even close to me.
And no age limits in any direction in my music taste, I guess the oldest is Hildegard Of Bingen music from 1000-1100). And I have quite much enjoyed Radiopuhelimet and Ranaldo/Refree-albums of this year.
