Sundays & Cybele - Chaos & Systems

Japanese psychedelia (though leavened with a bit of krautrock here and there that's almost Harmonia-like). Bandcamp!

I was listening to this album whilst driving along the M4 this morning. Apart from the crazy opener I find little here to retain my interest.

I started listening to this in the car this morning and so thought i'd carry on now - A great album and one that's just given more and more over the years as my system has got better

Been a while since I've listened to this lady, a friend of mine was singing with her a couple of months ago which has reminded me to get one of MCC's album's out.

Total agree Clive, only bought my copy because it was on the Blue Horizon which I collect. It rarely gets played.

First play of this after it was recommended by Coyote Jim on another forum and, since it includes Emily a Remler on one track, there was no excuse. It's most enjoyable. Great recording quality too (SQ).

Blues Company - Hot and Ready to Serve

OK there are one or two average tracks on here but there a some absolute belters as well.

Robert Lucas - Luke and the Locomotives

If you fancy some blues, you might want to give this a whirl. It is on Tidal as is the one above.

I'm loving it.

Lou Reed - Transformer.

Playing a few of my "test" albums tonight, since I'm evaluating a horrendously expensive interconnect which my ever optimistic dealer decided to lend me ............... thanks for nothing, mate.

A + WAV

(1992)

MMC accompanied me finishing off making and devouring a roast chicken dinner. Followed now for no particular reason other than Commune by Goat its a terrific modern psyche album and I fancied a loud listen 

(2014)

Possibly my favourite female vocalist. Boy she could sing!

such a shame she didn't get the chance to record many more albums

I have to agree...a great mixture of covers and a distinctive voice. Just catching up on Tidal.

Recorded in 1985 this album contains some of his best work .. IMO .. an excellent quality recording.  Great percussion by Luis Jardim ..

One of the better Asia albums...
