Pentacle - La Clef Des Songes

After an hour's drive up to Noosa, the Sunshine Coast Record fair yielded the following :
SAVOY BROWN - Looking In
WISHBONE ASH - New England
ZAPPA - Them Or Us
URIAH HEEP - The Magician's Birthday (had a copy many years ago.....)
........
And now the $5 bargain bin selections (don't laugh.....) :
CHICAGO - 19 (never seen it on vinyl, and I stopped after their '17' album, years ago....)
SKYHOOKS - Hot For The Orient (who could resist a bit of Aussie Rock ? And rather hard to find)
(......don't laugh more,.......
RAY THOMAS - From Mighty Oaks
                           Hopes, Wishes & Dreams (both mint, and great covers)

Waiting in the mail for :
KRALLICE - Hyperion 12"
DEATHSPELL OMEGA - A Synarchy Of Molten Bones LP (which, I guess, counter-balances the Ray Thomas....)
.................
....and the verdict : Just with a cursory 'flip through' .........the 2 RT albums are not good. Only a few moments here and there - some pretty flute, elaborate bass, inspired guitars, but Ray wasn't 'much chop' without his Moody buddies.......beautiful cover arts though. Can't see him having much of a fan-base outside of the MB.......
The Chicago sounds much like the previous 80's output. Well played AOR but somewhat generic. Inoffensive at best.
Zappa sounds TERRIFIC. Only heard Sinister Footwear III and I'm excited.
Wishbone sounded promising. Have yet to hear a weak album from them. This one is my 8th of theirs.
The Heep's Magician is pretty decent - my fave after the debut.
Quite surprised with the Savoy Brown album - bluesy, done well, great sound. I'm pleased with this one.
Skyhooks are simplistic Rock but I don't mind 'em. Haven't heard this one since about 1989. This album sports some New Wave leanings.
Overall, 90 bucks well spent, with an additional 10 bucks that could've bought me a decent lunch. Damn you Ray, your Moodies songs are usually my faves........

Although initially a bit disappointed with it, for not being as hard hitting as the rest of their output, I'm quickly coming to grips with it and have started accepting it for what it is, a nice little jazz album.  Recommend checking out their live album Bushman's Fire if you get the opportunity. An entirely different beast, probably destined to be my album of the year. Was in attendance when they recorded it, the most ferocious live performance I've ever experienced. Accompanied by Kjetil Møster on sax and David Wallumrød on organ, they were literally on fire that night, and that translates well to record. Excellent fusion album, already love it to bits, and I'm definitely going to order Bushman's Fire when I get the chance.  Hi Audun Damn it's been a while. Hope you're doing good my friend. Still walking in those mountains of your's from time to time? I still fantasise about living close to a mountain of my own that I can visit any time I like. Maybe it's because I live in Denmark eh? Seriously whenever I travel and see mountains my vacation instantly gets vastly more exciting. Yeah erm...Bushman's Revenge? Great jazz album. I really dig the almost tinkling feel of the cymbals. Makes it all dreamy and rather soothing to the ears. Thanks for the rec btw! Duly noted good sir. Hi, Dave. Yeah, it's been a while. I'm fine, thanks for asking. Working and listening to good music is what my days consists of mostly, as always.  How are you? I read in another thread you lost 25 kilos or something? Good job, mate!  I've put on about 20 myself the last year.  Really have to get back on track with diet and exercise...but I think I'll wait till after new years.   Haven't done as much hiking as I would've liked the last year, but I did Besseggen with my dad and my sister's boyfriend during my summer vacation (I would've shared some pics, but my old computer's not cooperating and is in dire need of replacement, so I'm not able to atm). It was really neat though, and tough. We did it in about 7.5 hrs, and there was especially one part where I, as someone not particularly fond of heights, really struggled, but I got through it. Me and my dad decided we would do Galdhøpiggen again next summer though, not as exhausting.  Anyway, bought: Gorguts - Pleiades' Dust King Crimson - Beat King Crimson - Three of a Perfect Pair Nirvana - Nevermind Nirvana - In Utero Noxagt - s/t Ordered: King Crimson - Level Five King Crimson - The Elements (2014 Tour Box) Stick Men - Prog Noir Vespero - Lique Mekwas Vespero - Azmari: Abyssinian Liventure Received: Aluk Todolo - Voix Burzum - Hvis lyset tar oss Burzum - Filosofem Enslaved - Monumension Enslaved - Below the Lights Enslaved - Axioma Ethica Odini Meshuggah - The Violent Sleep of Reason

^I'd be interested in hearing how that Pinhas collab sounds Ian. Is he still doing that Metal Machine Music meets a distorted Fripp or maybe going elsewhere with his experiments? 

Thanks mate.

Yes please...or so I'm hoping) Kikagaku Moyo - House In The Tall Grasses (Who knows?) The Comet Is Coming - Channel The Spirits (Spiritual psych jazz) Violeta De Outono - Spaces (Brazilian psych) Sons Of Kemet - Lest We Forget What We Came Here To Do (Spiritual psych jazz) I hope you dig the Sons of Kemet and Comet is Coming David. Have not heard the new Goat yet, loved the first one but the second left me a bit disappointed. Oh I'm digging it alright The Comet Is Coming is equally impressive. I thank you for your outstanding jazz recs - I wish I could throw something your way along the same lines, but it is exceedingly rare that I come across modern jazz artists that really knocks me off my feet. Fire! Orchestra is the only act I can think of actually...but I gather you're already familiar with the lot. Sun Ra teams up with a flock of reed-birds. Love the new Goat album. I think it's their best release to date - even surpassing the debut by some way. Funny how they've somehow managed to sound more psych whilst at the same time resorting to an altogether more acoustic sounding palette.
