New Order - Waiting For The Sirens' Call

As I listen I'm reading touching tributes by her family friends and colleagues to arts journalist Bernadette McNulty, on pages 30 and 31 of my i newspaper. (Bernadette died in a swimming accident at the beginning of March, age 43.) I'm finding their words poignant, powerful. Hot little tears are pricking up in my eyes. My throat burns. Bernadette, I didn't know you, but this music is for you, is for joy.

Purchased today so first play, Stanley Clarke  - If This Bass Could Only Talk

Emerson Lake & Palmer - Brain Salad Surgery, original U.K. vinyl

Prog didn’t get any proggier, from the opening Jerusalem  to the 20+ minute Karn Evil 9 that finishes side 1 and fills side 2, flamboyant musicianship works brilliantly because the music is so strong. Masterpiece of prog.

Tonight so far all on vinyl has been Beth Hart Better than Home, Pink Floyd Wish You were Here and at the mo Dire Straights Brothers in Arms.

I like this on too but saying that all her albums are in my collection. 

Having got over the slight disappointment of her 'Live in Europe' album i thought it was time to line this fine album up on the Melco and give it a listen. 

Melody Gardot - Currency of Man 

This on UT as i can't find the lp.

I think especially on vinyl that the packaging and artwork compliment what is found on the grooves.A brilliant cover from H.R. Giger who found later fame designing The Alien for the film series.Plus a bit of infamy with this cover when a "naughty" element had to be airbrushed out.They just don't make em like this anymore

Touch - Touch

Progheads ahoy! This odd, one-off Yank band can justifiably lay claim to being one of the first true Prog bands. Released in 1969 ahead of the first Yes album it has many pre-echoes of that album and those to follow it.

The main man was one Don Galluci, who as a 15 year old recorded that organ riff for Louie Louie, and whose production (pretty much the very next thing he did after Touch) of The Stooges second album Fun House (which remains a cornerstone of system testing for me) was apocalyptic.

Sadly, though the music on the album is pretty much uniformly great, the production totally sucks...

...but get the opening riff out of your head if you can...

 

 

From about 1965-1967,  Dick Clark hosted a weekday afternoon TV show called "Where The Action Is".  When the last bell of school rang, if I ran home I made it just in time to watch.  "House band" was Paul Revere and the Raiders (with Mark Lindsay) and another frequent band appearing was Don and the Goodtimes with, you guessed it, Don Gallucci.  Their style is listed as garage rock, r&b and pop.  And they were associated with The Kingsman.

Here is a pic:

And some music:

and Paul Revere and the Raiders

Now you're talking , I must still play this live version of "Why Does Love Got To Be So Sad" every other week .In my youth I would  spend hours whilst playing the record just looking at that photo of EC and his Strat, he looked so cool

Cheers Alan

Thought I would follow Stanley Clarke with another bassist so now its Charles Mingus and Mingus Ah Um, a true classic

Touch-Touch, Tidal

New to me, giving it a stream thanks to Nick Lees’s recommendation earlier. And a very fine prog album it is, very good songs. I’ll give it another spin and almost certainly go to the usual sites to look for a copy. Cheers Nick.

Last from 1980 for this evening.

Diana Krall - All for You: A Dedication to the Nat King Cole Trio (1996) - CD from Oxfam

What more would one want at this time of the day than to listen to Diana’s dedication to the Nat King Cole Trio. This was her third studio album, and straight out of the gates she grabs your attention. This album really is much better than some of her other easy listen albums. The piano, the backing and her voice are so engaging and full of virtuousity. Hit That Jive Jack really excels.

What do the fan club say? I don’t recall seeing this one come up before.

P.S.

Just spotted that I’m bus number two!

Hi Phil

this was my first Diana Krall album and still a favourite but I agree it has a vitality lacking in her later output.I have around ten of her titles now but initially purchased this because the Nat King Cole angle intrigued me .Still gets regular plays.

Cheers Alan

Now Playing........

Eberhard Weber - Silent Feet

Eberhard Weber (bass, cello), Rainer Brüninghaus (piano, synthesizer), Charlie Mariano (soprano saxophone, flutes), and John Marshall (drums).

via CD Player..........   Coming home and starting with another Eberhard Weber album...... Finding it to be great music in the morning and evening, beautiful and calming.  Busy week and just what I need.

Beck. Mellow Gold. On CD from 1994. Beck's third album, considered his official debut. Irreverent, eclectic, and experimental often with hip hop beats. The opening track "Loser" launched Beck's popularity.
