Dusty Chalk Posted October 15, 2018 Report Posted October 15, 2018 So true -- did you see that Songwriter's Circle with her, Nick Cave, and John Cale? I enjoy how she tries to make it a bit of Storytellers kind of thing. 1 Quote
Knuckledragger Posted October 17, 2018 Report Posted October 17, 2018 So the YouTubes went down for an hour or so yesterday and I missed the whole thing. I redid my upstairs audio setup a month or so ago and I haven't done any critical listening with it. Naturally I queued up a couple Biosphere albums. Substrata (1997, but this is the 2017 web release). Cirque (2000 version, I don't have the web re-issue yet.) The former is arguably the greatest ambient album in the world, and the latter is no slouch. Cirque is really, really good. Substrata is ...transcendent. It's unlike anything before or after it. I'm actually not huge on 2002's Shenzhou. It's full of weird classical music samples that get old quickly. That said, iTunes played it next and I bothered to listen to the whole thing. I'll say this, the not-annoying parts of the album are actually quite good and require some effort on the part of the listener to be appreciated. That's not really surprising, given the artist in question. 3 1 Quote

mikeymad Posted October 22, 2018 Report Posted October 22, 2018 ^^ Right now, I would say both -- watched a lot of their live stuff over the last week and it confuses me - so I have to minimize browser and just listen. Now, GoGo Penguin... I cannot turn away from these guys... putting out killer jazz.. 3 Quote

ironbut Posted October 23, 2018 Report Posted October 23, 2018 Never seen that album Al. I'll have to check it out. I saw that tour when it went through Atlanta. Some serious musical chemistry between King and James Taylor! Quote

Well at least they re-rated Remain In Light a 10 to make up for it. https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/talking-heads-remain-in-light/ 3 Quote
Hopstretch Posted October 24, 2018 Report Posted October 24, 2018 And, inevitably, I just listened to it again. Quote

I had not had time to listen to this. For a moment I thought I was wrong and that it was a Zepp record. In some cuts, the voice is almost identical to that of Plant. Good discovery. Thank you Quote

Torpedo Posted November 3, 2018 Report Posted November 3, 2018 An interesting live performance by Chick Corea The last few Corea's outputs made me think of those Picasso's words "As a child I painted like Michelangelo, but it took me all life to draw like a child". Corea always played virtuoso piano, and has evolved through many styles, but it's lately when he, in my opinion, is playing wonderful simple music. 3 Quote
