That Taylor Swift song playing right now, that one.
Funny. I'm just waiting for a limited release Robert Fripp "inaction figure" that captures his legendary stage antics in painted pink plastic.
The album had the same effect on me, blew the doors right off my mind.
Hello... It has been a while.
I popped in to say that I attended the first night of the Robert Fripp & David Singleton Q&A tour, here in Santa Cruz. Singleton mentioned the last Club release, and...
Did I forget Setna?
Setna and their sister project Xing Sa are some great releases. It is a pity that their third album stalled out.
R.I.P.
He has always held a high reputation among people whose opinions I trust. His legacy is one of those trails I've intended to follow for awhile now. Suggestions welcome.
I think my favorite is Wolf People from the UK. I suppose they are more like a psych group, but close enough, especially on their album Fain, which I am since still enjoying since 2014.
Then there...
Bravo! I look forward to this.
Me neither.
I was just revisiting the Black Light Syndrome album. There are some really good tracks there. My fav:

Yes, these are prime releases from the band!
I see, use Star Wars to help establish Disney Plus among the established streaming services. Makes sense.
In space, no-one can you hear snap a bongload. Happy birthday Lino!
In some key ways I'm over Star Wars as a whole, though it had a powerful grip on my imagination as a child. The most recent films have had considerable flaws, with perhaps the exception of Rogue One,...
ProjeKct X - Heaven and Earth deserves a shout out, especially alongside XtraKcts & ArtifaKcts. It is basically a TCoL outtakes album, run through Pat Mastelotto's audio surgery. (Perhaps the...
Nice list.
Not sure of this more rightly belongs in Stoner, either way I was enjoying this last night...

They are basically an instrumental You-era Gong-style space rock. There are analogies to AC/DC inasmuch as you know exactly what you're going to get on any given album. Personally, I recommend...
For the 90's, don't forget the Robert Fripp String Quintet's The Bridge Between. It is Robert, and Trey, and the California Guitar Trio. There are some great versions of Guitar Craft repertoire, with...
Both Gordian Knot albums are worthy of consideration. While Emergent has some Bruford on it, the self-titled debut has some Trey Gunn.
I think you really need to include the Eno/Byrne My Life in the Bush of Ghosts & Talking Head's Remain in Light. While they don't conform to your rules, Fripp or Belew appear on them, and they are...
It's the truth buddy, outrage has nothing to do with it. And watch out with the name-calling, you might hurt my feelings.
R.I.P. I loved his work on Lizard in particular.
I love the drumming on "Birdman." It is an exemplar of storytelling with a drumkit.

So you're hip to this, but not about talking about who you want to screw in a public music forum?...
I listened to it before I posted. Perhaps it is as you say, clumsily edited, but I didn't catch that. Nor do I have the original to compare. There's a lot of BS on the web, as you well know, and the...
I've thought of it as ItCotCK, but without the menace (i.e. Fripp ;)). I read some reviewer on Amazon complain about lyrics being changed, but has this been confirmed by the band, or Sid Smith or...
1973
Steely Dan - Bodhisattva
Led Zeppelin - The Rain Song
Golden Earring - Radar Love
Pink Floyd - Time
Can - Future Days
1965
I made out alright, I think...
"You've Got a Friend" - James Taylor
I like Dead Can Dance this time of year. They might not be traditionally spooky, but there is much that sounds like a great and mysterious pagan exultation, which is my favorite flavor of Halloween....
A Thursday would be tough for me, but I have been a fan for a long time...
Also Peter Gabriel's "Here Comes the Flood" leaps to mind, as does Black Bonzo's "Sound of the Apocalypse."

Bummer, his music kinda sums up middle-school pool parties for me. So there is a serious wistfulness in his passing. R.I.P.
Great set!
Last time he was in Santa Cruz, Martin mentioned from stage that he intended to back around next year with the anniversary band. It's nothing like gigs booked, but I'd love to be at that show.
I didn't take to Can on the first pass either. What caught me were their grooves, what has kept me is their creativity. I really needed to build some capacity, I think, because their approach is...
I hear he will hit the West Coast with this next year. :up
Still, it is an end of an era. RIP KFOG. :ipa
I would think...
"Hip Hug-Her" - Booker T. & The MGs
"The New Breed (Parts 1 & 2)" - Ike Turner
"A Wade in the Water" - Harvey Mandel
"Rumble" - Link Wray & the Wraymen
"Batman Theme" - Nelson...
I own and enjoy these. Wolf City was what drew me into Krautrock, actually.
One word: Krautrock
This is a realm of prog definitely worth investigating. A small handful of classics:
CAN - Future Days
Amon Duul II - Yeti and/or Tanz der Lemminge
Agitation Free - Live...
I'd throw in for Ian Anderson as well. I don't want to list, but there is a whole lot there. "Skating Away on the Thin Ice of a New Day" a top-shelf example, though. In full...
Meanwhile back in...
There are a couple of things that go into ranking...
1) For popular bands, many people can do it.
2) It is useful if you are looking to get into a band, and want to start with the most highly...
Why I love this band...

Everyone will be a prog fan after the singularity.
Long live Prog Rock!
Belated happy birthday!
Well, I can't see the cultural moment recreating itself like it did in progressive rock's emergence. You had this simple style that became insanely popular, and then began absorbing existing...
Oh, and Don Matrin's sound effects are without peer.
I must have been in fourth or fifth grade (a perfect age to get hold of MAD), and reading "A Mad Look at Superheroes." One frame was a window from the inside with a finger tip just visible over the...
Causa Sui - The Summer Sessions
Excellent krautrocky instrumentals!
Didn't they just reboot the thing last year or something?
It looks like David is giving a brief interview about each of the guitars he is auctioning off. So we get an oral history of his career, and he gets to stir up buzz about each instrument going to...
I have it on order. I am very much looking forward to it. I revisit these guys frequently. "Space Normal Speed" has been a favorite track as of late,
My wife really enjoyed the Magma concert we attended. I really hope they come back to San Francisco soon.
I listened through once, and I am really only a Magma neophyte, but this is a different Magma experience for me. I think I need to listen through a couple more times to acclimate to it.
Would be fun, I think.
Thank you for the head's up. I just did too.
I too am a Christian, and consequently dug into this as far as I could.
From reading liner notes, etc. the matter is somewhat complicated and obscure. Fripp has claimed that King Crimson is a...
The Quintet of the Hot Club of France stuff is some of my favorite recorded music.
