Be Bop Deluxe - Axe Victim

Plus Cuneiform is particularly vigilant (and for good reason) about keeping all their albums off places like Youtube. So it’s hard to come by. But it’s a doozy!

Indeed such a fun album! full of humor and some outstanding playing. I had no idea that the late Mr. Barse wasn't interested in a reissue for it. I also have Rare Birds but never got their final album which came out after his passing.

i didn’t know of any after Rare Birds! Damn, i need to find that.

Summer music: Poa - Blocco Mentale Autechre - Chiastic Slide Die Wilde Jagd - Haut Die Wilde Jagd - s/t Cervello - Melos Siouxsie & The Banshees - Hyæna (Swimming Horses has got to be one of my favourite songs these days) Dr. John - Gris Gris The Future Sound Of London - Dead Cities Nick Drake - Pink Moon who would think that a little humidity would hold you back from listening to music. Must be like a sauna over there. Meanwhile and far away, Ween | The Pod Jethro Tull | Under Wraps Spacemen 3 | The Perfect Prescription The Jam | Extras Tommy James & the Shondells | Cellophane Symphony Thrilled Skinny | They Said We Wouldn’t But We Did Thin Lizzy | Thin Lizzy Thin Lizzy | Night Life Kraan | Flyday Forest Swords | Compassion Spirit | Spirit Spirit | Potatoland (orig unreleased version) Kraftwerk | Radio-Activity Spirit | Sea Dream Sun City Girls | Dulce (soundtrack) The Dead C | Harsh 70s Reality Amboy Dukes | Journey to the Center of the Mind Flaming Lips | Telepathic Surgery Jandek | Glad to Get Away

Sauna is a fairly good descriptor actually. I think it’s to do with Denmark not really having experienced spring..and then what seems like a flick of the switch..and we get 25 degrees in the shade
But yeah normally that doesn’t stop me..I turn on my stereo and play music until I hear the floor or ceiling making noise (ie neighbours are fed up with Krautrock already by 10 o clock at night)...but it doesn’t work!!! I spend a whole weekend trying to decipher what exactly was wrong. I could hear a little music but 75% was just noise. Finally the penny dropped: I need new cables. Then again I’ve been using the same ones I once bought for my very first stereo rack some 25 years ago.
Biggest mistake though? I “came to my senses” with regards to headphones and pretty much sold most of them off...completely forgetting about Danish summer. There’s only one kind of headphone I can wear in this heat..and well I sold that badboy a few months ago

Last night I poured a couple of litres sweat into my Hifiman by way of:
Siouxsie & The Banshees - Hyæna
The Comet Is Coming - Trust In The Lifeforce Of The Deep Mystery
Jethro Tull - A
Alphataurus - s/t
Canned Heat - Future Blues
Steve Miller Band - Brave New World (Kow-Kow makes any moment a better one. Man I love that track )
Love - Da Capo
Paul Butterfield Blues Band - East-West (Gotta love Mike Bloomfield on guitar!)
John Coltrane - Sun Ship

Space Art - Trip in the Center Head (An overlooked album on the overlooked Prog Electronic genre.) Gong - Gazeuse! Boston - Boston (Always a joy to listen to this. A good thing they were not successful in Europe, it's impossible to hear on the radio ) Level 42 - The Pursuit of Accidents Krautwerk - Neuling Haken - Vector Kingcrow - Eidos (First listen. One of the best sounding Prog Metal albums I heard.) Nik Kershaw - Human Racing Ben Levin - Jelly Mound Terpandre - Terpandre Manfred Mann Earth Band - Solar Fire La Coscienza di Zeno - Una Vita Migliore Emmanuel Booz - Le Jour Où Les Vaches... (I didn't know this one Sagi. It's really interesting although a bit wordy for my taste. Sometimes it's better if you don't undestand the language, it's less distracting.) Dün - Eros (Something instrumental for a change ;) ) Heldon - Stand By Jimi Hendrix - Are You Experienced? (It always puts me off these 60's records with US and UK tracklists and even more confusing reissues with different orders and bonus tracks. I'm never sure if I'm experiencing it correctly.) Gong - Expresso II Television - Marquee Moon Mike Oldfield - Incantations Yes - Drama The Beatles - Sgt. Pepper's... (First time I heard the mono mix and as I expected I liked it more than the stereo.) Push Kings - Far Places

Sagichim wrote: Great list buddy! I thought you might like Booz because of sheller's orchestral arrangements, it is kinda wordy and you're right it helps not to understand the lyrics sometimes. If you want try his last album Dans Quel Etat J'erre, it's regarded his strongest although I think they are all equally strong just different from each other. It's a lot more instrumental which very surprising since the guy doesn't play any instrument  Of course you got to get into his vocal approach otherwise you won't like it, but anyway it's recommended. How do you like that Ben Levin album? I have only his Freak Machine album and although I remember liking it I can't recall when was the last time I played it...

I'll give it a try next week Still it was much easier to hear than the Catherine Ribeiro LP I own

I really enjoyed the female vocals and the way they interact heavy and smooth passages in each song. The guitar work is fantastic! This band is really worth checking out and this live album is a name your price download at bandcamp.

I only have their first album, actually I don’t know if they have another. I will check this live album since I’ve seen them in concert many years ago and it was excellent.
