Hopstretch Posted May 12, 2009 Report Posted May 12, 2009 (edited) Kate Bush -- The Dreaming Still one of the finer albums to use real sheep for backing vocals, I would argue. Edited May 12, 2009 by Hopstretch
aardvark baguette Posted May 12, 2009 Report Posted May 12, 2009 I got me one Garbarek album, Magico, that I found on amazon's 'listmania', without knowing who it was. I don't remember what its like though, only heard it once. Let me know if you don't have that one.

faust3d Posted May 13, 2009 Report Posted May 13, 2009 Zut Un Feu Rouge - Explain This Country (2006) This is a reissue of "Who's Afreud" LP and "Kafka vs. Chaplin" mini LP plus a few rare bonus tracks. Sweden's avant-progressive band with a lot of RIO flavor, but a darker vibe like Universe Zero. A five piece who used reeds, guitar, violin, keyboards, bass and drums with some strange vocals here and there. For fans of early 1980s R.I.O.

Voltron Posted May 13, 2009 Report Posted May 13, 2009 Grant Green -- Easy I don't know what this thing is, but it starts off with a cheesy, string-filled version of Easy [like Sunday morning] and finishes with Three Times a Lady. Grant's tone is great but it is laying on top of muzak. Who made him record this shit?
Voltron Posted May 13, 2009 Report Posted May 13, 2009 Man, I couldn't take it. Switched. Grant Green -- Grant's First Stand
Voltron Posted May 13, 2009 Report Posted May 13, 2009 those assholes. Just looked up the history of that album, and it was his last recording during 1978 when he was quite ill and looking to make some money pretty desperately: "By the mid-1970s Green's health was in serious decline, in part from his long battle with drugs. His failure to become a big name in music, with the accompanying financial rewards, and a series of failed relationships, further demoralized him. Green married Karen Duson Wallace, a nurse, in 1974. By 1977 the marriage had failed. Dorothy Malone became his constant companion until his death. Green recorded his last album, Easy, in April of 1978. That autumn he had a minor stroke that left him temporarily paralyzed on his left side. A blood clot was found near his heart and the doctors ordered triple-bypass surgery, but Green refused. Instead, he drove across the country for a gig in California. After the long drive back to New York, he suffered a heart attack and died on the way to Harlem Hospital on January 31, 1979. He was 43."
