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 haven´t 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.

Sunday´s albums:
Harry Partch: Delusion Of the Fury
This was the last large work of Partch. Haven´t heard all of his works, but I believe this is the most mature work of him. Really have to say again this is masterpiece! Here´s 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 don´t 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 he´s 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 he´s 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 it´s 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 Wakeman´s really eighties plastic sounding synths (now I think there isn´t as much in Union, well he´s not even playing in every piece in it). Only really great piece in this album is the last acoustic one, "Let´s Pretend".

Great to be same time here!!

No, you´re not in a wrong forum. I think music listening is the most important thing, not which format you listened it. I just have been vinyl collector from very early age. I really have had times in my life not money to buy any vinyls (just money for the food and the rent), but at the moment I have some extra money, so I have ordered some vinyls. Never got into CD`s fully, although I bought some of them in the end of eighties & begin of nineties (when they´re saying vinyl will disappear, I´m so glad it didn´t ever happen!).

Obviously a huge album in the 80's. Really no weak tracks.

Everyone knows the monster tracks like Waiting for a Girl Like You, Juke Box Hero, Urgent. But Break It Up is also really good. Luanne is good. Don't Let Go is really good.  Girl on the Moon is probably my least favorite track.

One of the most popular and greatest albums from the 1980's.

I know. That almost never happens because of the time difference. And yeah I have money that I COULD buy more CDs if I really really wanted to. But you know, it's about choices. Have to decide what's truly most important, and also need to have some money saved for a 'rainy day.' Music just isn't my #1 priority in my life. Idk, I love it but again it's about choices.. certainly when it comes to money. Have to be smart.

I listened some time ago their two first albums just the reason Ian McDonald was in those albums. They´re not bad, but also nothing special. My brother liked their "Agent Provocateur"-album in the eighties, I wasn´t then really much into it.

I have never save money for the rainy day, sometimes I have been almost penniless. I believe life will carry me and anyway I will die someday. My wife and my children are of course the most important to me, then come music. Of course few really close friends are also important.

These days I really want to listen mostly great music. Of course it´s always a matter of taste even when saying something masterpiece, but I don´t think I am only one who thinks that Partch final work masterpiece.

Blue monday:
Mississippi Fred McDowell: In London Vol.1
McDowell was the bluesman, who started early in the delta, but no-one found him those times although he was great. But in 1959 Alan Lomax found him and he started to get reputation. I think he´s most known piece is "You Gotta Move" that Stones covered in Sticky Fingers. This album has recorded almost on one take, Fred talks about the songs he´s going to play. There´s just electric guitar and his really soulful singing. Johnny Winter made a version from "Diving Duck Blues" from this album. Really love this!

J J Cale: Guitar Man
Another nineties album from Cale. This is quite same sounding as "Closer To You", but in this album Cale plays almost everything, there is additional drummer in one track and his wife in guitar also in one track. But the starting piece "Death In the Wilderness" differs about Cale´s typical songs, it is a mix of very bluesy cale-style song and very experimental, beating drum track. Snares sound like some kid playing them! All the way this album has great Cale quality! Have to mention great cover picture is taken by Anton Corbijn.

Yeah, looks great. And I looked him up on wikipedia, man did not have an easy life. Good for him that he finally got some fame and notoriety. And look, we're still talking about him to this day!

Mercy I had forgotten how good that album is!

I've said this before about other albums, but this time I REALLY mean it. No song... is remotely close to being weak! Almost the whole album was big hits, and I had forgot about Baby Be Mine and The Lady In My Life.

Baby Be Mine I remembered when I heard it. It's a smooth, really good tune that absolutely could have been a single. And The Lady In My Life could have easily been as well! It's a great, smooth love song. Both are really good. The whole album is awesome! Really enjoyed hearing that again. It had been a very long time.

I think having some emergency money is important. I don't want to run into a crises and not have any money set aside to deal with it. I mean, unexpected things happen in life sometimes. So as long as I've got that then I spend my money on whatever I want. You know, first things first.

Always really loved Billie Jean! My cousin listened that album so much in the eighties, that I am not sure, can I listen it ever whole through...I´ve been thinking to listen "Off the Wall" some of these days, my brother had it on the cassette, but now I remember it only that starting "Don´t Stop til You Get Enough".

Tuesday´s chooses:
Tommy Johnson: (1928-30) Complete Recordings In Chronological Order
Listened this great, little bit unknown delta-blues man album again, it has been quite recent founding.

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".

Just come across your thread - a very enjoyable read between two proggers with taste. I won't disturb or intrude further, but wanted you to know it is appreciated!

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.
