Starting with a few brand new releases, finishing with an extra-long Merrie Mack (to make up for the lack of Mack on the last show) a feature on the new Cuzo LP in the middle. Nightwatch satisfied.
Starting with Great British space-rock band Vert:X, and the side-long-track from their 3rd LP (I think), and the first release from new Label, 'Weird Beard'! |
Planet of the Mindstealers Vert:X - From Now To Now - Weird Beard |
On to Another new release, something from the new Circle!! This (unlike vert:X who offered up their 3rd LP) would be their 33rd (!) studio album. |
Rakkautta al Dente Circle - Terminal - Southern Lord |
Broken Windows, Locks of Love Pt. III Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Lift Yr. Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven! |
Just hooked into California's 'Moon Duo', the main project for guitarist Ripley Johnson, whose side-project 'Wooden Shjips' we've heard here on the Nightwatch recently! This is a Bonus (lengthy, triiipy) Track from 2012's Çircles'. |
High Over Blue Moon Duo - Circles |
Now onto a feature on the new LP (their 5th) from Spanish band Cuzo, 'Ensalada Ovni'. a 3-piece from Barcelona, they've been around since 2007, and this is their 1st LP in 3 years. We've heard from Cuzo previously with the LP ''Puedo ver tu mente, which finds them being the Sound Carriers for Damo Suzuki... |

Il Dio Serpente Cuzo - Ensalada Ovni |

The first hour-and-45 were filled up with relatively new/brand-new releases... now we disappear into the mists of time and come up with an LP by Flash, project of ex-Yes guitarist Peter Banks! |
Lifetime Flash - In the Can |
The Last 7 Minutes Magma - Attahk! |
A little Magma from a late-70s' release of theirs in honour of the fact that they're playing at La Sala Rossa in Montreal on August 21st & 22nd!! Now onto the pre-Merrie Mack set with 2 GREAT percussion players, starting with a phenomenal Afrobeat LP from '72!! |
Dominira Babatunde Olatunji - Soul Makossa |
My Little Friend Stomu Yamash'ta's Red Buddha Theatre - Man from the East |
Time now for a Make-Up-Merrie-Mack, because we missed this feature on the last Nightwatch due to time constraints, staring with Japanese Zeuhl band Koenji Hiyakkei, then into a handful of Finnish bands (with the exception of the late Nustrat Fateh Ali Khan from Pakistan). |
Tziidall Raszhisst Koenji Hiyakkei - Angherr Shisspa |
Auringonlunta Kiila - Silma Sulkaset |
Tervehdys Raskasaakki Kemialliset Ystävät - Harmaa laguuni |
