Totally dig that Dave Holland. Right now I'm dealing with the fact that I left my portable foobar2000 at home. My Last.fm Nostalgia 77 station is helping a lot.
I just wish Amie Street wasn't down so that I could look into some of the bands popping up...
I am wondering if that Dave Holland album might have been illicitly uploaded. I noticed on his site the other day that the physical disc isn't out yet, but mp3's available for DL when you preorder.
@Doofy, I think you might be right. I didn't actually bother to look at the link I posted until you mentioned it. Now I feel extra awesome for getting to listen to the Holland album early. ;-)
i bought this directly from the artist a few years back, emusic is now featuring.
quietly bent and experimental with occasional flirts of noise and organic foods.
fans of Califone might enjoy.
flaming barnyard fiddle doing the squat and kick dance to middle eastern rhythms that shake like an old front porch crash landing in a desert oasis. other implements of bluegrass join saxophone and xylophone trying to keep up with a mad Zappa on conductor's wand while vocals are delivered in a Hicks and his Licks fashion
thanks kargatron for the recommendation.
love the energy and exploration, hate the "cerebral" tag pinned on it.
unless your ass is screwed on too tight, this is just dance music for the hip less shaken.
perfect for waking up on Sunday morning and discovering your refrigerator is on the blink.(soothing a potentially uncontrollable chaotic situation with slightly controlled audible version of same)
All-Amie Street playlist on drive from Detroit to Chicago yesterday:
This is cool...need to listen again, there is some politics happening here.
Enjoyed this...a little bit of everything, including disco, electronic, even some Indian touches, but mostly good ol' R&B
This is great, almost goes without saying. "In 1964" is a spoken-word track about growing up in East LA.
A nice alt-poppy kind of thing, I know nothing about this guy. Seemed like good songwriting.
Well-chosen for the last part of the trip...very grooveful and "chill," as the kids say these days. Unless the words "Spritual Jazz" make you run screaming, you will enjoy.
Then I needed to wake up, so played some old Motown.

Bubu King by Janka Nabay
This was another fantastic emuser rec and was followed by another.
Miles Away by The Last Electro-Acoustic Space Jazz & Percussion Ensemble
Thanks everyone!
Dave Holland Octet - Pathways
I had gotten this at Amie Street for cheap but for whatever reason they yanked. Go figure. Other than that it is a fantastic album.

Amie just came back up, btw.
Skyline Grinder by Tom Carter
- Exellent !
Brighternow - that album looks great, as does that whole label - lot of long 1 track albums - which are fortunately not album priced.
freaky and beaty, with a good kind of Latin cheesy prog psych squeeze
Chicago group circa 69 and 70; stretches folk in several favorable directions with good execution and plenty of electricity.
A great spacey-jazz album on Soul Note...probably album-priced now, unfortunately.
You are all probably sick of me pimping them, but I'm again listening to Solid Gold - Bodies of Water.

1971 vertigo swirl alumni; jazzy prog set apart by the excellent brass and woodwind work

Moody ambient stuff. I'm leaning toward picking this up on emu.

Mira Calix - Eyes Set Against The Sun
IMO, one of the most brilliant female electronica artists out there.
amclark2...

I'm currently listening to 12 hours of Autechre - thanks again!
