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.

It nearly does, Jude. It nearly does.

Speaking of Rundgren, what album should I get next if I already have Something/Anything, AWATS, and Healing, as well as all the Nazz LPs? Maybe Weird of Mink Hollow?

yeah "...Mink Hollow" is a good latter 70's effort. I'd get "Todd" from '74 if for no other reason than "Everyone's Going To Heaven/King Kong Reggae". Also, witness "Initation"('75)just to see how Utopia was formed -- and in the forthcoming years -- wormed its way into my heart as it has to stay.

Speaking of Utopia. LOVE all that shit up until about 1980... then it goes Pop...

BONUS TODD! I love this foolhearty clip from the Utopia years with Ankh guitar in tow!:
