Blessings and Miracles
Santana
2021

https://album.link/i/1580765405

Example:

Santana colab 2021. Overall I really liked it. There is the Example, which is just a bop. To some lovely things with Steve Winwood and the late Chick Corea. Warm Friday evening music.

Pittsburgh
Matthew Stevens
2021

https://album.link/i/1616942712

Example:

A Short set of complex tunes from Matthew. I will have to explore, but these were engaging.

Idle Moments
Grant Green
1965

https://album.link/i/724724533

Example:

Frikin' Blue Note. How were you so consistently good at making recordings? Just a wonderful recording capturing the magic of Grant Green. You know, the usual.

Heavy Metal Soundtrack
Various Artists
1981

https://album.link/i/320264810

Example:

Truly still one of the great movie soundtracks made, with only 3 of the 16 tracks not being directly written for the movie. Had to share the Felder track with one the great bass lines by Abraham Laboriel. 

And just for fun I found the score. I didn't see it on the streaming platforms.

Gotta agree.  Seminal.

Which three?  For complicated reasons, "Vengeance (The Pact)" was written for the film, but not used, because it kind of ruined the vignette by telling the story in the lyrics and would've been impossible to write an animation to.

So I presume #1 is "Veteran of the Psychic Wars".

The other two?

Me:  a bunch of underground shoegaze:

Momentary, Distressor
Darker Days, Pale Shade
In the Interim, No Sun
For Ever Six Times (Vinyl Version), Another Heaven
Solace, Hex

[mikeymad]

Correct on the BÖC - the other Info:

Sammy Hagar - Heavy Metal - From Standing Hampton (Released as Single)
Blue Öyster Cult - Veteran Of The Psychic Wars - From Fire Of Unknown Origin
Journey - Open Arms - From Escape

The rest were created exclusively for the Soundtrack, with two exceptions:
 - Black Sabbath's "Mob Rules" as present on the album, is an early demo (which I like better). It was later Re-recorded on "Mob Rules".
 - Trust's "Prefabricated" is English-Language version of "Prefabriques", which appeared on "Trust" (a.k.a. "L'Élite").

Tracks that appeared in the movie, but not in OST: 
 - "Through Being Cool" (from "New Traditionalists" by Devo)
 - "E5150" (from "Mob Rules" by Black Sabbath)

Wake Me When It's Over
I’m With Her
2023

https://song.link/i/1682394335

The one song:

It is just a single, but I am hopeful from the image that there is an upcoming 'live at the Troubadour' release or something like that. 

Until then I have this on repeat for the afternoon. 

"I'm With Her covering the Willie Nelson song "Wake Me When It's Over",  recorded live as a voice memo in January 2020."

[mikeymad]

Okay I could not help myself.

Build Me Up From Bones
Sarah Jarosz
2013

https://album.link/i/1440726347

Example:

I just marvel at the talent of the three members of I'm With Her. Together and as individual artists.

He never wrote a sub standard song that I'm aware of.

Age of Apathy Solo Sessions
Aoife O'Donovan
2022

https://album.link/i/1676379525

Example:

Finally listening to the solo sessions of Aoife's Apathy album. It took me too long to get to it, but was very well rewarded with a superbly recorded set that allows me to just fall in love with her voice once again. It will become my go to over the full band sessions. Her and Sarah (above) just hit me in a way that very few others do.

Leftovers
Le Ren
2021

https://album.link/i/1577419184

Example:

 

Some more female vocals. I seem to be on a kick. Unknown to me but really was lovely. It gave me a Trinity Sessions vibe from Cowboy Junkies, with touches of Simon and Garfunkel. I know those are all really big shoes, but just to say I really did enjoy this set.

Killers 
Iron Maiden
1981

https://album.link/i/1147158978

Example:

Nothing like sleeping on an album for 42 years before giving it a good listen.

It kicks Ass. 

The title track is a standout - but the example hooked me hard. I have to admit, if I had not already, I was a little turned off from maiden back in the day, mainly from the cover art, t-shirts and fans at the time. I was in the meat of highschool during their starting albums. So with all that, I never really gave them a chance until much later, and I was into different things (mostly jazz and classical) in the 90s. So to be able to come back to this and pretty much 'discover' these albums with 'fresh' ears, is pretty refreshing. No recommendations needed - I am pre-sold on the catalog. 

Things added to queue.

Lucky you to be hearing one of the most epic bands of all time for the first time.  Enjoy!

You know, she listens to a lot of silly stuff (considering her background), and then delivers.

She also just did Child in Time and the number of time she stops it, and...just hilarious.
