    The weather was nice indeed! And I think that football thing that was going on took some traffic off the roads for us one afternoon, which was good. Other days, I realized I have not missed British road conditions.

    Surprisingly perhaps (insofar as this is a concept that could go badly wrong) this is rather nice.
  • I understand your comment about British roads GP!! Potholes galore, too much traffic and so on. Just listened to the eMusic samples of the above album and added to my Wish List, it is not my usual listening but worth an explore. I'll look later to see if it is available on Amazon Prime for a longer listen.

    Sketches Of Spain


  • Fingerprints

    This is a great instrumental album featuring Peter Frampton playing a range of guitar styles, alongside a range of guest artists each contributing to a separate track. It was first released in 2006. Without eMusic I wouldn't have discovered this at all, yet I enjoy it every time I play it - one of the great strengths of eMusic was discovering different music. Of course, it is not there now, all they have is basically some 'dubious bootlegs', mostly the same recording repacked in different orders.

    By coincidence I was playing CD 3 and 4 of the de luxe version of this earlier

    Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs 40th Anniversary  2010 Remastered
    It is actually the Live performance from Fillmore East that Lowlife was also playing around the same time. Now listening to a playlist of Santana tracks from the same era

  • The Picturesque Episodes - Young Galaxy

    (Went to post this and realized that cover art design had confused me into thinking the artist was called Young Galaxy and the album the Picturesque Episodes, when it's vice versa)

    "A town square is an open public space commonly found in the heart of a traditional town and used for community gatherings. Based on this basic perspective, it is easy to notice how the soundscape of this living center could represent not only sonically, but also from a cultural point of view, a priceless document. After an open call lasted 6 months to send most interesting audio material concerning the theme of the “square” the samples have been selected and reworked in order to create an ideal symphony of all living squares all over the world. After some months a minor open call was done also to obtain photos about the same theme in order to realize a coherent packaging."

    Excellent . . . Thanks @Germanprof

    Thanks Lowlife. A search using her name didn't find it, but then I searched by album title and it came up here. About to play, I won't repeat the image


  • Hope you enjoy Greg





    I had a chat with some friends the other night and got round to discuss my best 10 albums, this one was included. It got blank looks around the table but hope that one of the team will discover it.

    Agree, Lowlife, that Hammock are a great band. I also really like their earlier album "raising your voice....trying to stop an echo".

    Hammock thank members of the Australian band The Church on the cover of their "chasing after shadows...living with the ghosts" album. I will never forget listening to The Church playing "Under the Milky Way Tonight" live at the opening ceremony of the Melbourne Commonwealth Games in 2006. All the stadium lights were switched off and we were literally Under the Milky Way - electric and absolute magic.

    @Greg Strange I found it by artist name straight away. Whatever I'm enjoying a first listen. So thanks @Lowlife

    And:
    Private edition, limited to 100 copies "A documentation of a music happening recorded at Judson Hall, NYC. Sept 8-9, 11-13, 1964 with a stellar line-up that includes James Tenney on piano, David Behrman, Max Neuhaus, Alvin Lucier, Allan Kaprow, Nam June Paik, Allen Gingsberg and Jackson Mac Low. The idea, Allan Kaprow director explained, is ¡Èa collage of music and action¡É. The music was electronic, but the action was clearly electrifying as Karlheinz Stockhausen¡Çs Originale was presented as the top event od Manhattan¡Çs Second Annual Avant-Garde Festival. from the program original notes:
    the artist got on a ladder and, from a height, dropped eggs, paprika and stuff on a sheet of plastic, making a wonderful action painting. In the background was the electronic music. of course there was Allen Ginsberg, who recited a poem, using a few phrases that caused nervous giggles from some young ladies in the audience. Allen Ginsberg was dressed in his usual formal dress for concert work: blue jeans, red shirt open at the neck, a jacket of sorts, even shoes.
    The evening was a triumph of organization. lest you think that the whole is not greater than the parts, consider how the following materials were so cannily used: live musicians (saxophone and percussion, the latter ending up undressed save for red leotards), a walkie¡¾talkie, a film sequence, a piano decorated with flowers and stuff in its innards, a clothes-rack, pillows, hi¡¾fi equipment, a newspaper boy, kids erecting constructions from wooden blocks, a big clock, newspaper obits, a scaffolding, the audience itself, apples thrown around, a monologue in Greek, one from Shakespeare, insane laughter.
