Sundayīs albums: Harry Partch: Delusion Of the Fury This was the last large work of Partch. Havenīt heard all of his works, but I believe this is the most mature work of him. Really have to say again this is masterpiece! Hereīs used the largest assembly of his custom made instruments. Comparing to his "Revelation In the Courthouse Park" there are no spoken parts, not much words at all, choir uses lot "Hahahaa"-style syllables in vocal parts. Music is quite gloomy, as in other Partch works. Although the in superficial listening Partch music sounds quite primitive, this man was the most prog composer, at least I donīt know any other use totally different scales and built almost all the instruments of his music himself!
Thinking Feller Union Local 282: Mother Of All Saints This and their three earlier albums are much more noisier than their masterpiece "Strangers From Universe". They were anyway still going more melodic stuff in this album. The third side of this double is fully really experimental. "Cistern" is one of the greatest piece from this band!
J.J. Cale: Closer To You Cale is not in my big four group (Cave, Beefheart, Waits & Dr. John), but heīs really close. His music was based on roots stuff, but he really made already beginning it very own sounding. As many long career artists his best albums were in the seventies, but heīs one of those never made an bad album. This album from the nineties is more modern sounding than his old ones, but not really sounding typical nineties, but more himself. In his songs could be 14 musicians or then just himself and always itīs sounding him. Many big artists respect him a lot (even Beefheart did) in this album there are playing for example Garth Hudson (the Band), Don Preston (Zappa) & Bill Payne (Little Feat).
Anderson Bruford Howe Wakeman: s/t Quite long time for last listening. This has really lots in common with Union, but I prefer Union. How some albums sound to me can of course change with the days, but I think there are few greater songs in Union, although not any really bad in this (In Union "Saving My Heart" is really weak one). What today little bit irritate me in this album was Wakemanīs really eighties plastic sounding synths (now I think there isnīt as much in Union, well heīs not even playing in every piece in it). Only really great piece in this album is the last acoustic one, "Letīs Pretend".

Bolan is doing his poetic, melotic thing in tracks like Mystic Lady, Ballrooms of Mars, and especially Spaceball Ricochet. And then just flat rocking out in tracks like Metal Guru, Rock On, Buick Mackane, Telegram Sam, etc. My favorite track for a long time was Baby Strange, but now it's definitely the title track.
This truly is an ALL-TIME great album. |
I havenīt listened the Slider many times, as not also other T Rex-albums, but what I remembered it, I liked it also quite much!! Sometime ago I listened "My People Were..." again, I think I will soon put "Prophets, Seers & Sages" on. But today first two vinyl albums I just got: Harry Partch Delusion of the Fury and Thinking Fellers Mother Of All Saints. |
Oh. I don't have any vinyls anymore. But I have several CDs(well actually probably less than 100 actually). I did recently get all of the Moody Blues CDs from Days of Future Passed through Seventh Sojourn(Big 7). And I plan to get Procol Harum's self titled debut album and Little Richard's first album(Here's Little Richard). I might also get Sandy Denny's Like an Old Fashioned Waltz and The Moody Blues The Other Side of Life. But I can't be spending all my money on music though. So maybe I'm on the wrong forum here.
But anyway, ok I guess I'll do Foreigner 4 today then. Have the CD all ready to go so don't need youtube this time.

Fairport Convention: What We Did On Our Holidays I really love Judy Dybleīs voice, but Sandy Denny sounds to me as gentle mother singing to her child! Album starts with her own song "Fotheringay" and it really takes me deep immediately. Already in this album they started to go from US-folk traditions to UK-folk traditions, but there are also still that first one, for example great covers from Dylanīs "Ill Keep It With Mine" and Mitchellīs "Eastern Rain". And really their own "The Lord Is In This Place...How Dreadful Is This Place" sounds really incredibly original Delta-blues. All the way great and really versatile album!
Trumans Water: Spasm Smash XXXOXoX OX & Ass Another great Beefheart/Sonic Youth influenced band from US! But this band goes even more extreme than for example Thinking Fellers. There are really little melodies and vocals are also some kind of bawling or howling (I donīt think there is a right term in English, anyway really little some hc-punk screaming). First song title is "Aroma Of Gina Arnold", just watched that she is a US journalist. Donīt really know are Trumans a fan of her or do they mock her. Beefheartīs Trout is really more easylistening stuff than this double, I believe this band is just too much for many, but I just love their complex madness! Naturally of course as Thinking not rise in the level of Beefheartsīs greatest stuff. |
Yet you don't like Gentle Giant lol. Oh well. |
Weīll if you listen Trumans Water, I think you will also notice that theyīre totally different animals. Also, I think there are also some kind of madness in GG, but to me their madness sounds more kind of clown madness. Trumans madness is more kind of psychotic madness. And have to say I donīt believe I could listen Trumans every day, their music is sometimes too much even me! |
It would be too much for me for sure then. I won't even try lol.

Might be.

Man songs like High and Dry.. and Bones(I was JAMMING OUT during Bones). I skipped the last song, I always do. But also the title track is very good, Fake Plastic Trees obviously, Black Star(is really good), and Sulk is also good. All time great album. So is OK Computer. I was really into this band for a while there. Right on, that was great!

I remember when I heard "Creep" from MTV, I was quite much interested in that band. But some reason never listened whole "Pablo Honey"-album. I think next observation from them were "Paranoid Android"-vid in MTV. I thought in the first minute it was really boring. Anyway listened whole "Ok Cumputer", never understood what people see in it. But, itīs just matter of tastes, Radiohead just is those bands that are not for me.
And problem really isnīt Thom Yorkīs voice, really love it! Have you heard his duet with P J Harvey (absolutely fabulous), itīs here:

You don't like Steely Dan or Radiohead.. I can't believe this. Well at least you like T. Rex, so that redeems you. Shows that we don't just have completely opposite tastes in music.

Marc Bolan beats thousands of Radioheads or metallic Dans, that man just has style! No, we really havenīt got opposite tastes in music, I am not sure are you as mad about Beefheart as I, but anyway you really like him! I am not as mad about Zappa & Beatles as you, but I really love Zappaīs sixties stuff and also love almost all Beatles-stuff (although itīs Stones or even more the Who for me in that very biiig question).
Also, you forget I donīt like GG at all. But I believe there are those three big of yours I donīt like, I believe I have really much more my biggies you donīt like at all.
About indie stuff of nineties, do you like at all or have even listened Sonic Youth? Because thatīs the biggest 80/90/2000 band to me!
|
I have never listened to them.
|
Do you think you can give them a try? If yes, I believe "Goo" could be a good starter. But naturally it could be some hundred albums after that you already have on your list.

Portfolio - filler
Sun Shade - very smooth
The Lobster - also smooth
It's Alright Ma, It's Only Witchcraft - cool rockin tune
One Sure Thing - very good
M.1 Breakdown - Country feel instrumental
I really liked that. Some good 60's folk music there, right on. Good good stuff.

Great you liked it! My fav from that album is "I donīt Know Where I Stand", Judyīs vocals give me always big shivers! I think itīs much better than Joni`s own, later version. Have to say their albums really not weaken from that first, in their second album there is Sandy singing (going to listen it today, just bought it as vinyl)! I think my fav from them is their third "Unhalfbricking", but their five first are all really great, even "Full House", although I think itīs sad Sandy left the band and not so good singing (not bad also) males do the vocal duties in that album.

Artists varies from really almost same kind of "schlager" as that Italian New Trolls-case to very experimental. In Finland there was very little same kind of rock psychedelia as it was in UK and US, I think only examples of that was first album of Blues Section and mostly also Wigwamīs first album. But there were surprisingly many unknown avantgarde artists that made really homesounding records. That just proves the youthmovement of sixties really were in many countries, although in Finland kind of countries it was quite small group and also mostly in the capital of Finland. V.A. Perfectly Good Guitar Instrumentals This is compilation of Finnish instrumental bands of 2000`s. Half of the bands are traditional, Shadows-based "Rautalanka" bands and other half surf instrumental bands. I liked more latter ones that are The Mosriders, the SurfWipes, the Silver Hawks & The Lunatics.
Alsarah and the Nubatones: Manara I picked this great band when they become into a gig in Finland. Sadly wasnīt in that gig, just read about it, but watched then a vid from "Ya Watan" and really loved it! Alsarah is born in Sudan and I think her ancestors were Nubian, where came the name of her band. Sheīs living now in US, but her bands music is coming from her origins! Really this album has great Nubian groove, great rhythms, but also really great sad, bluesy melodies! Alsarah has really beautiful voice. There is also little electro in this album, but it has used in a very good taste, mostly this sounds really acoustic. This their latest album is from 2016, hope they will soon release new one!
Thinking Fellers Union Local 282: Strangers From the Universe Again M.P! This is great mix of Sonic Youth style punk, Beefheart-style experimental music and country music. In P.A. this is put into R.I.O./Avant, but hard to say do they have anything in common of other bands in that genre, well yes I think there is also some Zappa. Anyway just so great and underrated album! |
I want to listen to this. But just many albums lol.. too little time.

And theyīre again from US!

**** yeah man! So good. Ok The Bends by Radiohead. Used to be such a big favorite of mine in the 90's.
Man songs like High and Dry.. and Bones(I was JAMMING OUT during Bones). I skipped the last song, I always do. But also the title track is very good, Fake Plastic Trees obviously, Black Star(is really good), and Sulk is also good. All time great album. So is OK Computer. I was really into this band for a while there. Right on, that was great!

I remember when I heard "Creep" from MTV, I was quite much interested in that band. But some reason never listened whole "Pablo Honey"-album. I think next observation from them were "Paranoid Android"-vid in MTV. I thought in the first minute it was really boring. Anyway listened whole "Ok Cumputer", never understood what people see in it. But, itīs just matter of tastes, Radiohead just is those bands that are not for me.
And problem really isnīt Thom Yorkīs voice, really love it! Have you heard his duet with P J Harvey (absolutely fabulous), itīs here:

You don't like Steely Dan or Radiohead.. I can't believe this. Well at least you like T. Rex, so that redeems you. Shows that we don't just have completely opposite tastes in music.

Friday:
In work: V.A. Psychedelic Phinland This is 2CD collection of psychedelic/avantgarde/underground artists of Finland from 1968 to 1974. Artists varies from really almost same kind of "schlager" as that Italian New Trolls-case to very experimental. In Finland there was very little same kind of rock psychedelia as it was in UK and US, I think only examples of that was first album of Blues Section and mostly also Wigwamīs first album. But there were surprisingly many unknown avantgarde artists that made really homesounding records. That just proves the youthmovement of sixties really were in many countries, although in Finland kind of countries it was quite small group and also mostly in the capital of Finland. V.A. Perfectly Good Guitar Instrumentals This is compilation of Finnish instrumental bands of 2000`s. Half of the bands are traditional, Shadows-based "Rautalanka" bands and other half surf instrumental bands. I liked more latter ones that are The Mosriders, the SurfWipes, the Silver Hawks & The Lunatics.
Alsarah and the Nubatones: Manara I picked this great band when they become into a gig in Finland. Sadly wasnīt in that gig, just read about it, but watched then a vid from "Ya Watan" and really loved it! Alsarah is born in Sudan and I think her ancestors were Nubian, where came the name of her band. Sheīs living now in US, but her bands music is coming from her origins! Really this album has great Nubian groove, great rhythms, but also really great sad, bluesy melodies! Alsarah has really beautiful voice. There is also little electro in this album, but it has used in a very good taste, mostly this sounds really acoustic. This their latest album is from 2016, hope they will soon release new one!
Thinking Fellers Union Local 282: Strangers From the Universe Again M.P! This is great mix of Sonic Youth style punk, Beefheart-style experimental music and country music. In P.A. this is put into R.I.O./Avant, but hard to say do they have anything in common of other bands in that genre, well yes I think there is also some Zappa. Anyway just so great and underrated album!
