What albums did you listen to today?...continued

^ Beautiful list man. How about that Osage Tribe album? Sound quality aside I always loved it, now come to think of it I haven't played it in a loooooong time, but one thing that I do remember are those energies!

Hi HolyMoly.  I thought that might be the case.  But I really hate it when art is sanitized like that even when it's done by the original artists.  I can't speak for the current members of the band, but something tells me Fish wouldn't approve either.  To me, it's like Lucas changing it so that Greedo shot first.  Leave it the way it was (I know the "battle priest" version has existed since the beginning, but that was sanitized for the singles market).  If you're going to release the EP, release it in its original form and add the "battle priest" version as a bonus track or something. 

Anyway, enough ranting about that.  I'll just download the remix to my computer and swap out the first track for the 1999 version of the title track.

Don’t think I’ve heard that Picchio dal Pozzo before. I own the debut (amazing) and remember having a tape copy of another one. Embryo! Love that band so much. Burchard has kept it going through the decades too, at least until his daughter took over the business a few years ago. She can play just like her dad. Heartwarming. <3 Steve I'm glad you 've mentioned that PDP album because I just love that thing. If you're into their S/T (well how can you not?) and being a big Avant/RIO fan that you are, I have no doubt you'll love this one as well. Chronologically it is actually their second album and not third, it was just released in 2001. So since it was recorded at the end of the 70's the style is between the two studio albums. It's not as canterburyish as the first or avant garde as the second it is still warm and interesting, fantastic album all the way. Speaking of PDP another must have album is their live album playing their material with Yugen, excellent stuff. I'm sure you can check it out on youtube, very recommended!

you make it sound awfully tempting. Must czech it out. (I i know they’re not czech so that decreases the value of the pun, but these are lean times).

Sam, re:

“I’ m a huge fan of Atom Heart Mother but I actually never checked out anything from Ron. Do you know his work?”

Definitely yes. I’d say try out Music from The Body (with Roger Waters) first, it’s about 80% Ron. If that stuff doesn’t turn you off, you’re ready for the other stuff.
“Right Through” is probably the most musical of the ones I know, the very early stuff thrives on absurd Scottish humor, so if you like that kinda thing, go for it.

“I tried the Zappa album, I couldn't get past the first 20 minutes Ouch”

Ouch indeed, it’s one of my favorite albums ;). But it’s not for everyone, not even Zappa fans.

“Did you listen to the other 5 sides before or you just picked a random side? LOL “
I chose side 6 specifically because it fit my mood. It’s one of those albums that gets really abstract and weird at the end, and I just needed some wonky mood music . :)
