Louis Winberg - Jaleo

I love this CD. Reccomended by Lilolee. Thanks Lee.

Its Flamenco guitar, indian tabla & sitar, electric and acoustic guitar, percussion.

A bit like Nitin Sawney/Talvin Singh but without as many vocals and with breathtaking fretwork going on. Awesome. Buy it!

 

Killing Joke 'Seeing Red' from the Killing Joke (2003) album.

Just awesome.

 

Funny that!
I love the first track, Cochise.. Huge rock sound and only let down by lack of obligatory screaming guitar break.. Rest of the album is OK but not the best..

Otherwise, also had the Meters on (Chicken Strut), Infectious Grooves "Sarsippius Ark", Deadline "Down by Law" (Bill Laswell band with bassists like Bootsy Collins and Jonas Hellborg) and Sonny Sharrock Live (Check out "Dick Dogs", awesome! Sonny will be sadly missed..).
Oh, and Killing Joke "Turn to Red" 10" from 1979ish.. The days with Youth on bass were best, imho.

 

Pretty much everything they've done has been excellent. I've been listening to Brighter Than a Thousand Suns a lot lately, an incredible album.

And while I agree Youth is an amazing bass player, Paul Raven's definitely his equal IMO.

 

Serious music today
Shostakovich - 1st/2nd piano concertos (Michael Houstoun/NZ Symphony)
James Blood Ulmer and George Adams - Phalanx (reasonably free jazz, very toppy 80s vinyl...)
Jamaaladeen Tacuma/Derek Bailey/Calvin Weston - Mirakle (very free and funky jazz; bass and drum solos throughout with Bailey's "interesting" tuning and sound - you wouldn't believe someone capable of such a crazy racket would be over 70!)

 

I used to go to school, with the sister of the Giutarist? who went walkabouts Lucoiux??? he was from Chelt

 

Palookaville - Fatboy Slim, bit of a return to the old style of his first two albums.

 

Fleetwood Mac - Rumours
Fleetwood Mac - Behind the Mask
The Eagles - Hell Freezes Over

 

Was P-Funk mode last night.. And I discovered all sorts of new little bits in recordings I knew very well, plus amazing new soundstage height and depth (but transistors don't do depth?) - mebbe I don't need a new pre-amp after all!

Bootsy's Rubber Band - Fresh Outta P-University
- What's Bootsy Doin
- Stretchin Out (vinyl)
- This Boot is made for Fonkin (vinyl)
Parliament - Mothership Connection (vinyl)
- Clones of Dr Funkenstein (vinyl)

Whatever happened tO her?

I think DOm's a big fan Of it tOO

 

Yeah, I think he'd been talking about it before. Must get a hold of it .


Just borrowed two "Cassette Boy" CD's. Just a bunch of guys from Brighton that have put together a load of mixes/samples/tv quotes etc (all archived on tape ) and spliced them together. It's hilarious !

The other disc is a 'Christmas Sampler' they made up. My mate used to play it in the pub he worked in. Families enjoying their shopping with a relaxing coffee would come up and ask for some Christmas music and he'd stick this on. Let's just say their kids didn't quite see Santa in the same light again !

Genius.
