Wednesday´s 2 albums:
Dr. John: Goin` Back To New Orleans
Dr. John started his nineties with very cheerful and positive album! As the title says this album really includes all the best parts of New Orleans music! Starting with very emotional & sad "Litanie Des Saints" album changes into very rhythmic, great groove, but also includes great New Orleans boogie! Also, have to mention about version of "Good Night Irene" that Tom Waits has made very "bawling" version of it, but Dr. John does it with boogie!

McDonald & Giles: s/t
MASTERPIECE (this really is again)! This is the missing link between Beatles & King Crimson! If Court is the night of the same day, this is the day! Just so beautiful music and really this album proves the greatness of Court is not just Fripp´s doing, not also Fripp´s & Lake´s, these two men in this solo has also lot of doing it, specially in the melodic parts! I know all Crimson fans don´t respect this album as much as I, but to me this is just as great as the greatest Crimson albums for the reason the melodies are the most important also in Crimson to me!

Another one? My man Beefheart probably has something to do with this album somehow. I bet if I check the credits his name is in there somewhere. LOL

The weakest of these Tull albums so far imo. Bungle in the Jungle is pretty kick ***, and Skating Away is very good obviously, but other than that.. well here's the notes.


War Child - liking the sax, it's cool.

Queen and Country, Ladies, and Back-Door Angels were all just ok imo.

Sealion was pretty good.

Skating Away and Bungle in the Jungle are obviously both very good(especially the latter).

Only Solitaire - filler

The Third Hoorah - this one has a really cool sound to it.

Two Fingers - a lot of energy.. idk decent song I guess.


This seems like the kind of album that, maybe, with repeated listenings I'll like better. But anyway, I'm not done with Jethro Tull yet that's for sure.
Many other thinks Warchild same way as you, I loved also that album immediately. "The Third Hoorah" is only little bit filler to me, but not bad. Of course it´s not "Thick" or "Aqualung". But maybe you should listen next their eighties stuff? Or then "Benefit"? There are also many who thinks "Stand Up" is their best.


Oh. This deal tonight then!

WOW, that was great!

Notes...
A New Day Yesterday - Sounds Clapton like, really good.
Jeffrey Goes to Leicester Square - Sounds very folk, like the bongos. good.
Bouree - Bach, right on! Love the flute.
Back to the Family - straight forward 60's tune, good stuff.
Look into the Sun - Acoustic, slower. nice.
Nothing Is Easy - doing some jammin on this one. this is good stuff.
Fat Man - Eastern sounding. And there's those bongos again.
We Used to Know -  this is really good. best song on the album I think. kickin *** on that guitar!!
Reasons for Waiting - beautiful acoustic tune.
For a Thousand Mothers - rockin out in this one. This is really good.

Oh yeah I'm obsessed again. Boy was that good.

Nope. He was in another continental then. But seriously, when you have time, listen this album, I believe you will love it (as Beatles-obsessed man).

Smile I knew it!! Well, I think "Benefit" is even better, but it´s of course possible you don´t like it as much, because it´s little bit sadder & darker album (I´m a melancholy man, doing what I can...)

Here´s something a little bit shallower from Jethro, if you want to entertain yourself, that woman is classical flute teacher (I think she´s Finnish) and she reacts in this and also other Jethro pieces (there is also vid from tha parts of Thick):

2 Thursday albums:
Blossom Toes: We Are Ever So Clean
Sorry, but have to use in this album also that word that starts with M and ends with E. This album is called Giorgio Gomelsky´s (producer) Sgt. Pepper and really for the reason! Album is full of psychedelic, beautiful masterpieces, also songs are arranged awesome and have great brass & woodwinds, no Sgt kind of concept  (well there is little of it also, some songs seem to make joke about conservative Brits, also there same kind of funny discussion in the middle of songs, also the last most psychedelic piece has parts of the most songs so it kind of collects together the whole album). Really this album can be called proto-prog -album! Like quite many great albums of a great 1967 year, this didn´t succeed and is quite underrated these days! Have to say this album has also something common with the Who & Moodies, although this came earlier than Moodies Days Of Future Passed.

Bukka White: Parchman Farm
Another great delta-blues artist & album! Bukka was also those, that was found again in the sixties bluesboom and he made new records. I think this is the first collection of his old material from 1937 & 1940 sessions released before in 78 RPM Wax. Bukka may not be as great guitarist as for example Robert Johnson, Skip James or Blind Willie Johnson, but sure he is really soulful singer with his raw voice that has really great vibrato. My faves is title song, not same that John Mayall made familiar although composer Mose Allison probably got influences from this Bukka´s version, and "Where Can I Change My Clothes?", I believe this was very essential question in hobo life.

Oh, I know what word.. but no it can't be. Three.. of those.. in 3 days, impossible. Does sound like a cool album though, I'm almost tempted to listen to it tonight actually.

And the second album.. sessions from 1937 and 1940. That's even before Chuck Berry and Little Richard, and Elvis, and Bill Haley and the Comets.. almost 20 years before! That would be cool just see what music even sounded like back then.

Oh and I listened to that woman. She pronounced Jethro Tull wrong! But oh well, she said that's how it's pronounced in Finnish or something like that. I hope that's not how you also pronounce it, but if so I guess you could be forgiven. It is what it is.

Anyway, ok then for tonight.. Benefit

Not sure about better than Stand Up but that was very good.

With You There to Help Me -This is very good, flowing song.
Nothing to Say - Not as good as the first song, but good.
Alive and Well and Living In - Kind of same sounding so far. These first 3 songs.
Son - More rockin song here.
For Michael Collins, Jeffrey and Me - Good acoustic deal here, I like it.
To Cry You a Song - Cool sound here.. this really does feel like a band on the verge of big things.
A Time for Everything - Ok song.
Inside - That was pretty cool.
Play in Time - Good rocker here.
Sossity; You're a Woman - Neat feel to this acoustic tune.

Still obsessed lol, for sure.

No, it´s not impossible. I know you´re horrified to admit how much great music was made from 1966 to 1975, because then you have to listen hundreds of albums! But believe me, I don´t say any album masterpiece that I have listened just once or twice. It´s just that I have now got some extra money and I have ordered almost all albums that I think masterpiece (got many already before). And naturally want to listen them first time in vinyl! Tonight´s coming Kaleidoscope´s Tangerine Dream that can also use that word.

But I really believe you will love or at least like Blossom Toes as Beatles-fan!

And have to say that I think delta-blues is just soooo great, really the deepness of R´n`R comes there.

Ok, then you must listen also "Stormwatch"! It was my first Jethro album and become obsessed immediately! Also, compilation "Living In the Past" is must to Jethro-fans, includes just so many great non-album singles!

BTW Alive & Well and Living In is one of my biggest Jethro-faves!

Fridays four albums:
Kaleidoscope: Tangerine Dream
Already said in the morning what this album is, so not have to reply it. I prefer UK Kaleidoscope most of the three Kaleidoscopes of same time (one in Mexico also). This album is just the most innocent album of all times! Really the fairiest album of 1967 (only competitor is Donovan´s "A Gift From a Flower To a Garden"). Really love Peter Daltrey´s (no relation to that Who guy) soft voice! But although albums songs have lots of beautiful melodies, there are also really interesting song structure experimentations as in all great 1967 albums (even one adult´s fairytale)! Also lots of Beatles influences here, but band still sound very personal. No weak tracks, but my faves are "Dive Into Yesterday", "Flight From Ashiya", "the Murder Of Lewis Tollani" and really lovely ending piece "the Sky Children".

Tim Buckley: Starsailor
Again there are also many other people as I who will use that one word with this album. Buckley´s "Blue Afternoon", "Lorca" and this album are the most weird mix of jazz & avantgarde, I really love those all, but maybe this is also my favorite, although "Blue Afternoon" comes also really close. Right in the first song "Come Here Woman" listeners will divide to the haters & lovers of Buckley´s voice and vocal style. And title song is absolutely torture of the haters, because it´s made totally just over tens different, mostly manipulated Buckley`s voices. In this album you can find some connection to Beefheart: it was originally released by same Zappa label straight as Beefheart two great masterpieces Trout & Lick. And Buckley had same manager as Zappa.

Faust: Faust IV
I have said earlier in my list what this album is, so don´t say it anymore. Even their two first albums are really great, in this and "Faust Tapes" are also really great melodies with very experimental pieces! And starter piece "Krautrock" really defines that genre!

Son House: Father Of Folk Blues
Son House taught Robert Johnson. Although student become even greater than teacher, Son House really wasn´t also a poor guitarist! His style was really personal, it was quite percussive. As Bukka White, he was also those who was found again in the sixties bluesboom. But because he wasn´t played at all in sixteen years, Canned Heat´s Al Wilson´s had to show him how he played before! But when he found his style again, become this really great album! There is just House´s soulful vocals & great guitar and Al Wilson´s harmonica in one piece.

Ok, not sure where to start with this. You seem to like these Delta Blues guys a lot, that's cool.

Also seems you have many masterpieces in your collection there. I'm not judging, if you say that they are... then ok. And though I do admittedly have far less music than you do, I also have a few of my own. So one of them coming up tonight.. ARGUS by Wishbone Ash!

Time Was - Classic Wishbone Ash tune! It's the first song on Argus. Tearing it up on guitar after that opening acoustic part.

Sometime World - One of my absolute favorite WA songs. So wonderfully melodic at first, and then again kicking *** on those guitars after that.

Blowin' Free - Probably their second most legendary song. Almost Eagles or Boston like flowing song that is just classic and great.

The King Will Come - Their most towering song. The one you're most likely to hear on classic rock radio.

Leaf and Stream - Probably the least famous song on the album, but just so hauntingly great.

Warrior - POWERFUL song. A live staple.

Throw Down The Sword - Perfect closer to this all-time great album. Another live staple obviously.


Truly all-time great classic rock album.

Sometime World - One of my absolute favorite WA songs. So wonderfully melodic at first, and then again kicking *** on those guitars after that.

Blowin' Free - Probably their second most legendary song. Almost Eagles or Boston like flowing song that is just classic and great.

The King Will Come - Their most towering song. The one you're most likely to hear on classic rock radio.

Leaf and Stream - Probably the least famous song on the album, but just so hauntingly great.

Warrior - POWERFUL song. A live staple.

Throw Down The Sword - Perfect closer to this all-time great album. Another live staple obviously.


Truly all-time great classic rock album.
I think Argus is also album many say Masterpiece. I don´t disagree with that, but when I have listened it 2 or 3 times, it hasn´t hit me same way as those albums I have said masterpieces, not of course sounding bad. Maybe it´s something to do the style of Wishbone Ash, it´s just not that one fitting into my music taste. But anyway going to listen it someday again, now I just have so many that I am going to listen next!

BTW watched yesterday evening from youtube Jethro Tull Live at Tampa Stadium 1976 and again just wondered how great live act they have been!! Also they really weren´t then become any kind of band that just played same hits over & over again, there are some pieces I hadn´t ever heard as live before (from Too Old To R´n`R, also some great instrumentals never heard).

Also accidentily found this, really great piece:

Fridays four albums:
Kaleidoscope: Tangerine Dream
Already said in the morning what this album is, so not have to reply it. I prefer UK Kaleidoscope most of the three Kaleidoscopes of same time (one in Mexico also). This album is just the most innocent album of all times! Really the fairiest album of 1967 (only competitor is Donovan´s "A Gift From a Flower To a Garden"). Really love Peter Daltrey´s (no relation to that Who guy) soft voice! But although albums songs have lots of beautiful melodies, there are also really interesting song structure experimentations as in all great 1967 albums (even one adult´s fairytale)! Also lots of Beatles influences here, but band still sound very personal. No weak tracks, but my faves are "Dive Into Yesterday", "Flight From Ashiya", "the Murder Of Lewis Tollani" and really lovely ending piece "the Sky Children".

Tim Buckley: Starsailor
Again there are also many other people as I who will use that one word with this album. Buckley´s "Blue Afternoon", "Lorca" and this album are the most weird mix of jazz & avantgarde, I really love those all, but maybe this is also my favorite, although "Blue Afternoon" comes also really close. Right in the first song "Come Here Woman" listeners will divide to the haters & lovers of Buckley´s voice and vocal style. And title song is absolutely torture of the haters, because it´s made totally just over tens different, mostly manipulated Buckley`s voices. In this album you can find some connection to Beefheart: it was originally released by same Zappa label straight as Beefheart two great masterpieces Trout & Lick. And Buckley had same manager as Zappa.

Faust: Faust IV
I have said earlier in my list what this album is, so don´t say it anymore. Even their two first albums are really great, in this and "Faust Tapes" are also really great melodies with very experimental pieces! And starter piece "Krautrock" really defines that genre!

Son House: Father Of Folk Blues
Son House taught Robert Johnson. Although student become even greater than teacher, Son House really wasn´t also a poor guitarist! His style was really personal, it was quite percussive. As Bukka White, he was also those who was found again in the sixties bluesboom. But because he wasn´t played at all in sixteen years, Canned Heat´s Al Wilson´s had to show him how he played before! But when he found his style again, become this really great album! There is just House´s soulful vocals & great guitar and Al Wilson´s harmonica in one piece.


Ok, not sure where to start with this. You seem to like these Delta Blues guys a lot, that's cool. 
Long time my fav blues artists were John Lee Hooker & Howlin Wolf. Maybe over ten years ago I borrowed some Robert Johnson CD-collection from the library and really understood immediately how genius he was! From that started my Delta-blues trip, got great tips from one book from Robert Johnson I read.

Saturday albums:
Faust / NWW: Disconnected
What comes, when two really experimental acts made an collaboration album? Super experimental album? Well, not exactly. But naturally not very ordinary album. The first two pieces are really much sounding quite typical Faust, there are even something same as in Faust IV. They´re really great! But last two pieces sounds much more NWW, they´re quite etheric, sounds good, but not as great as the first two. In vinyl version there are bonus pieces from both acts separated, again like more Faust-pieces.

Nico: Desertshore
This is really great album, but not rise the lever of her predecessor "the Marble Index". Although Cale is produced also this, he hasn´t arranged these songs as much and not also add his playing into this, this album is really much based on Nico´s harmonium. But here are also really great pieces like "Janitor Of Lunacy", beautiful multivocal piece "My Only Child" & great ending "All That Is My Own". Also Nico´s sons vocals in "Le Petit Chevalier" brings tears in my eyes.

Gong: Magick Brother
We have talked about this earlier, I think this is masterpiece, what do you think? Also I think this is the best Gong album, although really love Radio Invisible Trilogy and thinking those albums also less or more masterpieces.

Howlin` Wolf: Moanin`In the Moonlight
This and Howlin´s second self-titled (also known as the Rockin Chair-album) are really blues masterpieces! Right in the begin "Moanin At Midnight" brings very creepy feeling into you, when Chester starts to moan in a very haunting way! And here are "How Many More Years" (Zeppelin made cover in first album), Smokestack Lightnin` (Yardbirds made cover in Five Live Yardbirds), "Evil" & "Forty-Four" that just are Chicago-blues classics! And Howlin also made really great version of Tommy Johnson´s "Cool Drink Of Water Blues" under name "I Asked For Water (She Gave Me Gasoline). And to this album I have to take here my man Beefheart again, Howlin was the biggest influence to his vocal style and you can really hear it!

I think if your man Beefheart had been a member of the Who, or that band that... I don't dare to type their name but they're the first band you mention here. I think you would listen to nothing else. All other music would be forgotten and you would only ever care about that lol.

Anyway, about Magick Brother... I obviously liked it a lot. It has a very 60's sound to it, which I know is a big part of why you like it so much. I liked it and all three of those Trilogy albums very much. Their second album(Camembert Electrique) didn't really click with me the first time I listened to it.. but then I listened to it a couple more times and it did! So now I really like all of their first 5 albums. BUT the one that I ended up liking best from them was Gazeuse! I just love that jazzy sound! I certainly listened to it the most. I listened to it at least 5 times all the way through. I wouldn't really call any of them Masterpieces though. I don't use that word very often. I don't even call any Zappa album a masterpiece. I think the Grand Wazoo comes close, but For Calvin ruins it. Argus yes... that's a slam dunk for me. The Slider I think so as well(many of the songs just have SUCH a timeless feel to them). MDK obviously. And First Utterance by Comus, yes I agree with you that it is. To me there's a difference between an album being very good and being a Masterpiece.
