I heard some Band Aid on the radio in a taxi earlier tonight. True story! :)

James Last - Question

Yeah, it's a Moody Blues cover. And a strange one at times. Jim Gordon on drums, last heard in these parts on this one.

Check Doug Payne's liner notes for further explication.

'Shangri-La Wrecker...'

Tobin Sprout: The Last Man Well Known To Kingpin

A lyric I often confuse with Shangri-La Records: finest music store in Memphis.

Robert Wyatt - Biko

Thanks, as ever, to the T4T show for the turn-on. Really nice version of this.

Available on: EPs

The Maytals: It's You

Single released the same year LBJ signs anti-poverty measure totaling nearly $1 billion. What's changed?



Toots & The Maytals: Monkey Man

Love the guitar on this one. First heard this track after checking out The "King" Kong compilation from a Memphis library and recording everything to a Maxwell. Now many years later wish I never returned it. I'm sure the vinyl ended up at one of their yearly library sales and someone walked away extremely happy.

Claude Larson - Mosquito

...from a library record so rare, not even the great Paul Durango has it; yet this jam has been lovingly re-issued by afro-funky records.

Notes: "African orchestra-sounds including original African instruments recorded in South Africa. Original African drums played by members of the Xosa-Tribe, recorded in Cape Town South Africa."

Claude bringing some Rimsky-Korsakov-type styles to the table on this one.

Hamilton Bohannon - South African Man

Hamilton plies his hypnotic trade on this 9/4 mesmerisation experience. Thanks to zip chim for saving me from the tragedy of possibly not hearing this. Observations:

1. The bass player (which is who? Fernando Saunders, I guess?) is going fucking mental. Check out when he varies his line slightly at 1:50. Kaboom.

2. The dude (or lady) on the guiro is scraping every 4 beats, while the song is in 9, so, if my calculations are correct, they re-synchronize every 36 beats.

3. Hamilton Bohannon was Stevie Wonder's drummer from '67 to '69. Does this mean that for a time Stevie's rhythm section consisted of Hamilton Bohannon and Michael Henderson? Oh gosh.

FROM THE ARCHIVES: Garden Of Eden Edition

Astrud Gilberto - Brazilian Tapestry#
Percy Faith - First Light*

Delving into the archives today for two jams apparently recorded on-location in the Garden of Eden (גַּן עֵדֶן).

#Original air date 2/20/07. Traditional ("Mulher Rendeira"), adapted by E. Deodato. Ron Carter on bass.

*Original air date 8/3/07. Written by Freddie Hubbard. Arranged by Percy Faith. Earl Palmer on drums.

Expansives - Life With You ....

Melody reminiscent of Freak Out by Chic, with some Bee Gees-style falsetto stylings on the chorus sucking you deeper into the vortex. Thanks to my imaginary youtube friend 0x51d for the tip. Ripped from the reissue on Panama Records. Also, "The Expansives." Best band name I've heard in a while.

"Listening to-night to the names of all those great singers of the past it seemed to me, I must confess, that we were living in a less spacious age. Those days might, without exaggeration, be called spacious days: and if they are gone beyond recall let us hope, at least, that in gatherings such as this we shall still speak of them with pride and affection, still cherish in our hearts the memory of those dead and gone great ones whose fame the world will not willingly let die."

--James Joyce, The Dead, 1904

Wendy Carlos:
Rossini - Overture to La Gazza Ladra ("The Thieving Magpie")
Purcell - Music for the Funeral of Queen Mary
