Saw them a few nights ago, picked up a copy of the new one. Haven't listened to it yet, but much of what they played from it was pretty fun and monsterously impressive. They manage to sound fresh...
Only managed to catch Troot and Trettioriga Kriget:
-Went in thinking Troot might be some sort of an ensemble, somewhere between Kronos Quartet and Hamster Theatre, (was not an accurate assumption)....
Hamburger Concerto could be worse but it has too much velveeta in it. Moving Waves holds up a lot better imo. This track along w/ Sneezing Bull from the often maligned Con Proby record (which is far...
Torn's one of those rare players like Rypdal or Holdsworth that you can generally spot after a few notes. Kind of forgot about the Lonely Universe album, (man, those CMP albums were exceptionally...
As the pull of mortality gets more real, the impulse to listen to favorites seems to increase, but new CD scores are coming in pretty often, (maybe 10-15 titles per month). It's mathematically not...

Didn't recall this being funkier than Alphosne Mouzon's 1974 python boots...but it probably is.

Thought the drawing on the outside was a good brain warper...didn't get a similar buzz from listening to what was on the inside.
Gobs of good ones so far...didn't see Good God, A.F.T. (Automatic Fine Tuning), Otolithen, Octavo, Broken Wire, LowBlow (ex Tipographica bassist...afaik they only released Mr. Cafe) or The Bang, (I...
The first one is narrowly my favorite, (could be a chronology of neural combustion deal or first the buzz is the best phenomenon), anyway, it stands as one of those records that at times seems to...
Couldn't agree more, The Hardwood is fantastic! fortunately what he may have kept out of his brain is still available and can enter the brain of anyone who wants to listen.
Just caught Sun of Goldfinger in Berkeley last night. Ches Smith's drums sounded pretty muffled at times, other than that it was great brain warping multi-layered stuff. Sometimes recalling Crimson...
Saw an NBC documentary on them in 1976, (there sure wasn't much on TV like this at the time) and was struck by how their big time manager was berating them for not cutting it right after they played...
Can't help thinking much of the Go stuff was a little too slick, possibly overproduced, pretentiously corny and suffering from all star syndrome. Freedom is Frightening blew me away and seems to have...
With desert island like threads, I guess double albums are nice since they have more time on them. Kraan Live or Agharta/Miles Davis maybe ok gun to the head picks. For single albums, Alquin Mountain...
In some instances I can't pick a favorite but am glad to have the cover version stuck in the brain:
Some tracks from Bowie's Pin Ups album (See Emily Play... and Friday On My Mind jump out)
Asphalt...
Love the first two releases, need to get the others. Imo they somehow manage to successfully mine areas that can often seem played out. Great feel, hope they'll someday tour the US.
Got tickets for this one, (crossing fingers in hopes that all these geezers will be in good health).
You might like the Electric Sea and Electric Tears releases. Some of the tracks, (like The Interworld And The New Innocence) from Praxis / Mutatis Mutandis could work too. He has a massive...
Probably the one that makes the biggest crater in your head...maybe not the easiest thing to predict. It was Burning Stone here. People who like them sometimes when first hearing them would gripe...
A good one to have stuck in the head. If a better sounding CD release than the one on Lake Erie Records comes out I'm in. They struck me as a heavy mechanical and almost entirely instrumental version...
Occasionally people connected to the RRHOF have strained and farted out sounds to feebly suggest that being influential counts for something. While squeezing out these gassers, they induct Madonna,...
Hiya Steve,
They were at the Red Museum in Sacramento CA on Jan. 26 ...Fortunately they are still as brain melting as ever live, Gentleman Surfer's keyboardist is a big fan and got them to come to...
Kind of ranked 1st to last:
Bartsch/Ronin
Green Milk From The Planet Orange
Zorn 65th Birthday festival (hard to pick, maybe Bagatelles, Zorn, Douglas/Cohen/Grohowsky/Wolleson)
Marc Ducret/Samuel...

There's a lot to take, agree that the Live release, w/ Wolbrandt's fine ladies on the cover, (recorded in 74 and released in 75) is fantastic and holds up from start to finish. *&^%$##!!, it may be...
First exposure to Guru Guru was from the Generich period...initially thought, what a drag that he's not on this new one, (Dance of the Flames). Nejadepour wiped that away pretty fast. Amazing...
The statistical density of this one might attract a math label, (but it's maybe a little more depraved than the average MR output). Probably safe to say it's not for everyone, unfortunately in the...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Ml0Lx9l1hI A lot of Beefheart/Magic Band tracks are uniquely great. This one may not be recorded the best, but just those drums and guitars always make a good almost...
Did Catch the Sept 1. show at the Chapel in SF., the place holds i'd guess at max 1000 people so there weren't any real nosebleed or bad seats. Trigger, a guitar, drums, bass instrumental unit played...
Eberhard Weber
David Fiuczynski
David Torn
Volker Kriegel
Holger Czukay
Michael Karoli
Reeves Gabrels

Sonny Sharrock
Don Van Vliet
A ridiculous bit of trolling or are you basically going to a restaurant just so you can fart in public? Hiseman would never have been dumb or ass-holic enough to have believed or said the above. Any...
There isn't really one best for me. Saw that Kriget came up on a few posts before, (too few imo). In 1974 there wasn't a lot of stuff like it.

Piling on to recommend that you just go! I was fine w/ not checking out someone imitating Greg Lake. Really high quality trio...the guitarist was fantastic, and added some teeth that weren't there on...
This one grew and kept me buzzed for a long time, kind of forgot how great Ratledge was and how not alone FZ and Henry Cow were after checking out Teeth again. Sections throughout the album that...
A search from a few months ago pretty much lines up w/ your comment. The 8 track tape was bought in 1974 as a cut out and had a very plain white cover, (not on Deutsche Grammophon) pretty sure the...
A friend had an eight track tape of John Cages Cartridge Music that got heavy rotation w/ Can Ege Bamyasi/ Sun Ra Astro Black, Lark's Tongues and Music Improvisation Co. w/ D. Bailey and Jamie Muir....
Kind of tough to go w/ just one, Can Bel Air from Future Days or Echoes from Pink Floyd Meddle are pretty good head warpers too...
Fortunately there gobs of em'... Unfortunately many aren't well compensated for their work, Didn't see these names yet:
Ches Smith
Jon Bafus
Greg Fox (Zs)
Mark Giuliana
David Meier

Like this a lot! ...maybe not hitting any new nerve endings, but it's nice to see an old Ibanez Talman in the clip. Some of them sure sound good and have nice necks.
Could be wrong, but you may want to score some Henry Threadgill, he's recorded A LOT but starting out w/ some Air stuff from the 70's might not be a bad way to go if you haven't done it already. Bob...
Guess the 1st sentence of my last post was extra baggage. Did not attend either of the shows mentioned specifically to see the opener.
Attended a few shows mainly for the opener. Got surprised when going to see Mahogany Rush (the headliner) get handed a completely wrung out and recovering audience after Judas Priest’s set. Marino...
Can't say i get the pride thing either, but catching the ECM festival in 76 (for $7) kind of stood out...Terje Rypdal, DeJohnette, Gary Burton, Eberhard Weber, John Abercrombie and Pat Metheny all...
Desolation Boulevard (November 1974) is one of Sweet's best records, but the three tracks from that album that could be seen as somehow proto Maiden, (No You Don't, Sweet F.A. and Set Me Free) don't...
Nedjapour, later to erupt on Guru Guru Dance of the Flames also helps Eiliff deliver much ass kickery...they should have been chased by legions of naked women around the world.
Restrictions w/ its Rene Magritte like album cover and occasional flirtation w/ psychedelia is probably as close to "prog" as they get. The Guiltless Glider track isn't a million miles away from...
Leaving a ton of great stuff out, but this will do for little while:
Exmagma - Goldball
Cluster - Grosses Wasser
Kraan - Live 74 (tar and feathers expected...it's still a !#**ing great record!)...
Garaj Mahal is the rippingest stuff I know of from Fareed, any hot tips on where else to look would be appreciated.
Wouldn't be surprised if the addition of another player ended up reducing the space between players and the impact of the guitar work during shows. I don' think i'm alone in thinking that the attack...
That is cool, it was announced that they don't do after the show photos when i caught them a few nights ago, (guessing they would have made an exception for Rachel). Haven't seen a post on the...
Not sure if these have been mentioned, (or if a top five list would be the same next week)
-Teddy Lasry, E=MC 2
-Michael Bundt, Just Landed Cosmic Kid
-Conrad Schnitzler, Con
-Cluster, Grosses...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVG7eQ1TcNo This was on an IRS Night of the Guitars album in 1989. Made me dumb enough to think West didn't suffer too much from not branching out or developing further.
The second store on Watt Ave. during the mid 70's had bands once in awhile (sometimes made up of guys who worked at Tower) playing the parking lot, occasionally the stuff was pretty head warping and...
Looks like the images of some stuff from last month inexplicably loaded this time... the photos are crude, but hope there's enough information to generate some interest in cover illustration work....
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOp6Y7rSXSg Warren in Duran Duran costume soaks it up (think this was at Tower Records)
Can’t do it, but haven’t seen We Are Not Alone, Packard Goose or Transylvania Boogie yet. Lots of great choices posted so far!
Damn there are tons of bands that i wish could be on the list, did see a few twice or more tho’
Frank Zappa
Yes
King Crimson
B.O.C.
Claudia Quintet
Allan Holdsworth
Larry Coryell
Miriodor...
Predicting what you will or won’t like in the future to decide whether or not to invest in something as listener probably isn’t something you’ll be really good at unless your brain is an immovable...
