King Crimson ... Islands.(1971)

A new album and a new lineup again, although this one featured the touring band of the previous album Lizard. Mel Collins's saxophone really stands out on this, perhaps their most jazz-influenced album, especially on the title track. Highlights include the funky Ladies of the Road and the haunting The Letters.
As with previous Crim albums, the band would break up after the recording; although this time it was supposed to be permanent. At least for now.

My brother got me the newest Liquid Tension disc as a gift and It's fecking amazing,

Today while I was making breakfast Spotify's algorithm decided to play me Fatboy Slim's greatest hits.

It has been a good morning.

I've listened to their Rhapsody in Blue more often than I care to admit since I posted the link above.

Del Amitri 'Waking Hours' album.

Really enjoyed it, hadn't heard it in several years, perhaps it helped that the Flacs were one's I made from original vinyl, maybe I like the sound of vinyl versions?

Spotify randomly playing I get this song that sounds like Oasis. I can't quite place it so check which it is... It's called Parade by a band called Jazz Fuzz Kid. A modern Japanese band imitating Oasis..... Okeyyyy

Thanks for the tip MIM, on first listening it's ....

Bloody Brilliant.

Tony Levin is a god.

Kraftwerk, Die Mensch-Maschine album. Again. It really is insane how they crammed so many classics into one album.

Róisín Murphy - Capable Rhythm

ZZ Top - 'Sure Got Cold After The Rain Fell'

[PDH]

Just listened to ELO's "A New World Record" and "Out of the Blue" back to back.  Two albums released only about a year apart that marked the real high water mark for them - Jeff Lynne was always an overblown, somewhat pompous fan of the big music - but on these two albums it worked quite well, and creatively being able to put so many songs that worked is something special.  These were in successive years summer records that my mom played over and over and became part of my musical foundation.

Nice to have certain music being the soundtrack to specific times.

Don Cherry - Eternal Rhythm (1969)

No, not that Don Cherry (at least as far as I know.  I don't think they've ever been photographed together .)

On first listen this sounds like it was produced by Christopher Walken though substituting pan-flute for cowbell.  Like most free jazz it improves upon repeated listening (although even having heard it a few times I still find myself wondering when the pan-flute solo is going to end.)  It's an interesting album, overflowing with all sorts of wild instrumentation; bells, whistles, xylophones, and pan-flutes are all mixed in with more traditional jazz instruments.  It reminded me a lot of Gato Barbieri's early work; (and I would guess this is where Gato drew inspiration.)

He also sired Eagle-Eye Cherry, who helped us save tonight.
