Ozrric tentacles ~ Paper Monkeys

 

When it was released in 2011 it received some negative comments amongst the die hards but I think its very good.

 

Edit* To date (checking on Discogs) it remains their last new studio album although they did release another 4 live albums that year of concerts in Frome '97,. Manchester '92, Italy 2010 and Oslo 2010. In 2012 a further live album from Milan was released.

 

Let's hope there will be more new work to come.

Here's a 3-CD box of outtakes - the thing is, Can's offcuts have more ideas in them than most bands have in their entire careers.

 

What I love about this music is that it seems to spring from nowhere - it just bubbles up from some weird, fecund swamp, bursting with energy. It's also hugely open-ended (a bit like Miles' music from 1970-74) - there are no beginning and no ends, it's as if you are eavesdropping on some vast endless improvisation, rather than just listening to a mere "song" or "track".

I think I prefer June Tabor's Ashore as a set of sea based songs - interesting appearance from Inspector Lewis on Lowlands

I haven't heard this one yet but totally agree about how good a band they are.

Good folk/rock sounds from a bygone era

Catfish and the Bottlemen, The Balcony, reminds me of when I first heard U2 with War and Boy ,and early Oasis, different and exciting with loads of charisma, and fun to listen to.  I can see these being huge, highely recommended pop/rock

Keith Jarrett

On vinyl from 1972: Cat Stevens - "Catch Bull at Four"

 

 

Cleaning a lot of my older LPs at the moment. This is the 5th of 5 Cat Stevens LPs I own - I don't have anything from his (limited) catalogue) post 1972. 

 

His records still do pass the test of time.

Please consider that discogs is not the bible. They report a couple of cd releases but maybe there could be some vinyl as well out there. The haunt begin!

Don't remember for sure. It would either have been from a local shop or, if online, it would have been Amazon.  I am in the USA and just checked Amazon and they have it for sale currently.  I ripped it to iTunes and the cd was put in storage.

Haven't played this Floyd album in a while. When ever I fancy a bit of Floyd I tend to go for the usual suspects.  I can't say I don't like The Division Bell because I do.  And yet.......I dunno.  Somehow, something seems missing.  Maybe it's just me.

Nice one Jeff, I think I'll join you.

 

Overkill I know, but I have it on CD, CD rip to FLAC, Hi Res 24 bit download and vinyl. I prefer the sound of the vinyl version to the others.

 

Small point, it was a 2013 release, which is just was well, it has been one of my most played albums of the year.
