m.a.l. w.a.l.d.r.o.n. t.r.i.o. - 'f.r.e.e. a.t. l.a.s.t.' (1969)

Sun, 07/03/2016 - 01:23 -- bryan

this is the first record to be released by what has now become one of the most important record labels of the last fifty years, ECM.  they got off to a soft modest start in that this record did not really change the face of jazz as we know it or anything like that, nor did it seem to set out to do so.  but, if you're reading this, chances are you are not out trying to hunt down records that re-invented jazz music.  this record consists of some really well written well played piano trio jazz.  music to sizzle bacon to, if you will.  break some eggs while you're at it.  make an omelet.  you know what they say.

Sat, 07/02/2016 - 23:45 -- bryan

itallian prog rock of the highest order, soaring, majestic and virtuosic.  this female-fronted five piece boasts of having three siblings in their ranks, the youngest of which, the keyboardist, recorded this at the tender age of fourteen!  this is this band's only album, produced by the sib's father and released on his small press label, highly obscure and highly recommended.

more from this bat-shit belgian band.  love them.  super funky.  super freaky.  the album cover does not deceive.  yes, the vocals on the second song are terrible, and you'll probably end up skipping the second song as a result when you play this record, but that does not take away from the fact that the rest of this record is stellar as fuck.

one of the best rap albums from the late 90s golden era of hip hop, period.  beats, lyrics, flow -> everything.  dig it.  _alibi

In days of our lives we strive to make ends meet / The search for tomorrow got us walking the streets / I'm not sweating sleep, not stressing beef / I'm just trying to live, trying to eat / Trying to stand strong, trying not to fall / I'm just trying to live to see my unborn get tall / Because these streets of New York ain't just no walk in the park / You could get your life got in the day or the dark.

U.T. - 'G.R.I.L.L.E.R.' (1989)

Sun, 06/26/2016 - 01:47 -- bryan

recorded by steve albini, this 1989 record is a lost nyc no wave classic.  so much better than all those bullshit sonic youth records.  this group's very name seemed to court obscurity.  this band cranked out dark ass jams that still sound fresh as hell today.

asa-chang and junray make a most curious mix of sophisticated experimental easy listening fractured pop.  their records are uneven, and it's difficult to play one from front to back.  but, i think the highlights, for instance track two on this release, are well worth visiting.  to me this is some of the strangest most daring music i know of being made today.  dig it.

Sun, 06/26/2016 - 01:02 -- bryan

promise and warning post number nine hundred.  i was exploring some contemporary female-fronted pop last night.  i listened to a couple different acts, and i thought to myself, maybe 2016 just isn't the year for that kind of thing.  then i found myself wishing i was listening to hazel.  i hadn't listened to this album in ages and ages.  i listened to it so much when it came out in 1995 that i think i wore out the grooves on the cd.  then later, i discovered heavier angrier music, and somehow i felt it wasn't ok for me to love pop-punk like this.  so i shelved it.  and, that's an ok thing to do, i think; it's even a necessary thing to do time and again.  certainly i needed to end my obsession with the afghan whigs and pearl jam after elementary school in order to move forward onto greener pastures.  but, once in a while, you can pick up an old record like this one, that's now over 20 years old, and think, yep, this one's still got it.  that's how come i chose this record for this special post.

p.a.g.a. (1985)

Sat, 06/25/2016 - 06:47 -- bryan

i first got put on to the musical movement known as zeuhl by the mighty band eskaton, who's music i now worship, particularly for its blistering bass guitar lines locked into incredibly tight rhythm parts adorned with outlandishly virtuosic female vocal harmonies.  zeuhl as a movement was founded by the band magma.  magma is a bit too wackadoodle for my tastes.  but the group of musicians affiliated with them and inspired by them make extraordinary music.  this record is led by bass guitarist bernard paganotti, who played with magma in 1976 and 1977.  this band, paga, is essentially the same band as paganotti's earlier post-magma project, known as weidorje, who's sole e.p. is posted elsewhere on this site and is incredible and highly recommended. paga brough vocals into the mix, and commands a more 80s sound. the rhythm section is serious as hell. these zeuhl bassists have really made me reconsider my own bass playing, and it is really inspiring to listen to them.  the first track on this record even has a fretless bass solo, which is something that is so outside of my wheelhouse that i find myself shocked to accept that it works well.
