Van Halen - Fair Warning - Yeah he ha! That favourite guitar solo thread yesterday really reminded me just how awesome these guys were, and I'd have to call either this one or Women and Children First their finest work. Love the dark, aggressive feel of the album. Some of Eddie's best guitar work is on here and it's only made better by the fact that basically the whole album is tuned a half-step below drop D. The Mean Street intro, the main riff from Dirty Movies, the end of One Foot Out The Door - all essential hard rock guitar.
Blackfoot - Strikes - A pretty weak album in general. Out of the 10 tracks, I'd only really consider 2 to be worth your while: the opener, Road Fever, and the closer, Highway Song. The others are more or less average, forgettable hard blues rock. But the two quality tracks make the album worth looking into. As I was saying in the favourite guitar solo thread, the closing track here was one of many Southern Rock songs to be written in the Free Bird format; this is one of the best, though. The more "lonely summer night" type of vibe that it gets from the minor key is beautiful, with Medlocke's vocal performance augmenting the mood. And the self-referential lyrics are an added bonus touch. Certainly Rickey Medlocke's finest hour.

That's awesome, was that one of the OSC's free downloads or through their Bandcamp page? That would be great if it gets a proper CD release, what a way to remember a show you were at. That Tangerine Dream Melbourne concert CD set from a few years ago for the Melbourne Music Festival was a nice memento! Ah, so you listened to the good Mad Fellaz album?! Just kidding, the second one is plenty good, just a world away from the knockout first effort. I much prefer that first one, when their were still RPI traits worked in. Sadly as soon as I hear the vocals I start to cry |

It was from the archive, it will probably not get a CD release though. The sound quality is not very good, it has a few technical problems and you can sometimes hear the sound technicians talk
Syndone also released a live album from the concert I attended last year (with much better quality) although it's digital only, unfortunately. I'll have to listen to the second to see what I think.

Terje Rypdal – Terje Rypdal This is excellent! The overall atmosphere of the record is very “sleepy”,
however, the musicians are on fire. Terje’s solos are beyond description,
incredibly tasty to say the least. Keyboard work as well as use of oboe add
great amounts of mysticism.
This Heat – This Heat Another album I love dearly. The soundscapes This Heat creates here are unearthly – very unsettling, disturbing, industrial, yet elegant and very minimalistic. Really rainy album, perfectly suited for today’s weather! Centipede – Septober Energy Many thanks to José for reminding me of this album. It is indeed a wild, freaky jazz-fest of 50 musicians. This is not only “listening”, it’s the whole experience. A bit like a festival of avant-garde arts, where a huge group of artists follows a loose recipe, enriching it with improvised elements of their own. Amazing! Hugh Hopper/Elton Dean/Keith Tippett/Joe Gallivan – Cruel But Fair Wow, what an amazing, elegant work this is. As innovative and experimental as it is, it retains the colors typical of Hopper’s, Dean’s, and Tippett’s music. Great, great album. Thanks for the recommendation, José, friend! King Crimson – Larks’ Tounges In Aspic I’ve had real difficulties enjoying King Crimson outside the first three releases. Still, even on this album, which I love dearly, there are chunks, patches, and gristles, pretty hard to digest for me, which just proves how demanding this music is (and that it's a pretty long sentence, doesn't it?).

Always good to see some appreciation for my favorite album. This Heat doesn't get enough love around these parts, but then that's true of a lot of the late 70's and 80's experimental acts (Pop Group, Nurse With Wound, Throbbing Gristle, Einsturzende Neubauten etc). But then this is a prog forum and This Heat really isn't prog anyway. So far today: Glenn Branca: The Ascension Archie Shepp: Mama Too Tight Nico: Desertshore And later tonight I'll be listening to Univers Zero's Heatwave for the first time, but for now I have classes to go to.

Well, it's progressive music, maybe not prog rock, but definitely progressive. While Throbbing Gristle (whom I consider to be the band capturing the spirit of the era in the very same way as This Heat) are not that great of instrumentalists and composers (with their potential lying in the ability to create incredible sonic landscapes), This Heat could really play and compose well. As a side note, I've seen Einstrurzende Neubauten live last summer and they were steaming (they actually said that was their best performance of the whole tour).

Tonight's choices (although still 90 minutes to go at work!):
Anekdoten – Until all the Ghosts are Gone Beardfish – Comfortzone Neal Morse – Question Mark Yuka & Chronoship – Dino Rocket Oxygen - that reminds me that I should get back to that more recent album from them) Knight Area - Hyperdrive FEM Prog Band – Sulla Bolla di Sapone Tangerine Dream – The Park is Mine Tangerine Dream – Quantum Key Sanhedrin – Ever After – Sagi, it’s about that time, surely another year has passed from when we last got to whinge about how there hasn’t been a second album from this group yet?! Hawkwind – The Machine Stops - Tom, I assume you and Daniel have this already? It’s a terrific album from them, certainly up there with their better later discs like `Blood of the Earth’, `Space Bandits’ and `Alien 4’ for me. |

Tangerine Dream - Ricochet Probably one of my favorite Tangerine Dream albums and German live albums in general. The march at the beginning of the first part is definitely my favorite Tangerine Dream moment. The whole album is great though, the sound of the synths is so clear, crystal.
The Keith Tippett Group - You Are Here... I Am There I have written a review on this album. If you wish to read it, you can do so here. As always, constructive criticism is appreciated. |
