Track 5 is compiled from two improvised pieces, transcribed then replayed by Katia Labèque
ps- Wow! more sad songs sung so well. Had me thinking about Godley & Creme at one point and Leonard Cohen & all those other great deep sad singers. As Tindersticks has only a few tracks left in the rotation, this will certainly fill that void.
The Weather Station - Loyalty. This one was on my SFL list for ages, last month bought it before my deadline came, glad I did. Have not posted much as I have been watching the Olympics, Team GB doing rather well
Thanks! I got this...
along with that... Bandcamp here's part of the blurb
An extraordinary singer and instrumentalist on Loyalty she plays guitar, banjo, keys, and vibes but Lindeman has always been a songwriter's songwriter, recognized for her intricate, carefully worded verse, filled with double meanings, ambiguities, and complex metaphors. Though more moving than ever, her writing here is almost clinical in its discipline, its deliberate wording and exacting delivery, evoking similarly idiosyncratic songsters from Linda Perhacs to Bill Callahan. Lyrically, Loyalty inverts and involutes the language of confession, of regret, of our most private and muddled mental feelings, by externalizing those anxieties through exquisite observation of the things and people we accumulate, the modest meanings accreted during even our most ostensibly mundane domestic moments.
Brighternow's post re Tuxedomoon's latest in the New & Notable thread sent me over to Emu for this Tuxedomoon were always a group I read about at the time, lord knows why I didn't explore further (well yes I do, money...) Anyway this choice morsel appears to be the first album (Half-Mute) along with the second e.p. which came out just before (Scream with a View). All this interest in post-punk early industrial will make sense when/if I reveal another of my SOTU purchases.) (i.e. a glaring omission I've sorta just plugged 35 years late).
and after a brief trip through the South London mist for artisan booze bread and cheese I return with : I even formed a "band" in 1979 that copped the name of their first album from this lot and yet I've never had any of their albums. The psychology here is that I go into Sounds of the Universe for Techno/Reggae/Other Dance/Jazz and seeing "rock" albums throws things into a different light. Looking forward to shouting along to "Discipline" in a few minutes.

Yes, this was the first, Groundbreaking masterpiece, if you ask me.
The very early Tuxmo shows in Copenhagen was really totally amazing with super dedicated performance of the band and 100 % concentration from the audience. - In the quiet moments you would be able to hear a pin dropping on the floor. Bloody amazing !
- One of rheir "hits" from that time:
NP: Tuxmo with one of the reworkers from the New Noise album (track five)
Well now I've just managed to get back online after two hours and a couple of phone calls after what was supposed to be as simple as A-B-C router upgrade... no wonder I'd been putting it off for 3 weeks. Anyway time to relax with another Sounds of the Universe purchase this is a comp of somewhat mellow electro influenced dance tracks from 1980's French West Indies. All very sunny Sunday afternoon while my pulse rate returns to normal.
And staying in the West Indies but moving to Jamaica (no she went of her own free will etc. etc.) Phill Pratt is an underappreciated producer outside of hardcore reggae collectors. There is of course no connection to the Disney franchise.
Hoping that this will drop on Emu soon otherwise I'll have to get it from Bandcamp. In fact judging from the one track available there, if I need more cds then this should be high on the list.
from otherminds Ramón Sender, a founder of both the San Francisco Tape Music Center and the Morningstar Commune, is a legendary figure around the Bay Area yet many of his early electronic music has never seen the light of day. Gallivants and Garnishes includes work made between the years 1964 and 1968 where Sender worked with tape, found sound, and early synthesizers at the SF Tape Music Center and around San Francisco. Thanks to @Brighternow for the introduction. ps- I really enjoyed the listen.
Celer - Tetra and as always - NYOP at Bandcamp 'Tetra' was recorded in June and July, 2016. Originally titled 'I'm not coming back'. Will Long: Reel-to-reel, reverb, oscillator, filter

I have a chronological jazz playlist that I listen to on weekends; quite a change when this one (1955) comes up
Just adding to my point above about jazz in 1955...
