Night Watch
Sunday June 29th, 2014 with Dāv Fot
Dr. John! Glissandro 70! Shakti! Algarnas Tradgard!

Went to T.O. last weekend, managed to pick up a few things (a summer cold among them), but the music is what I will pass on to you! I will play a few this week, and finish up in the next Nightwatch.
Starting out with an artist I (surprisingly) have never connected with... but Dr. John's 1st LP made it's way into my hands fairly cheaply, and I'm smitten.
Gris-Gris Gumbo Ya Ya
Dr. John The Night Tripper - Gris-gris
Croker Courtbullion
Dr. John The Night Tripper - Gris-gris
I Walk on Guilded Splinters
Dr. John The Night Tripper - Gris-gris
Let's hit a bit of General Mayhem, for fun, starting with a different, more current, take on trippy Voodoo Music!
Run to Your Mama
Goat - World Music
Flowers of Romance
Public Image Limited - Flowers of Romance
Brother Rat
Nomeansno - The Day Everything Became Nothing Canadian
Devil in the Drain
Henry Kaiser - Devil in the Drain
While in T.O., I managed to find a copy of this Toronto artist's LP - heard it here at CKCU originally.
Portugal Rua Rua
Glassandro 70 - s/t Canadian
West End
Glassandro 70 - s/t Canadian
Back to another Mish-mash set, heading towards some Middle-eastern-sounding motifs. There's Shakti in our future... but to start, a more Celtic sound to get us started!
Morrison's Jig
Rare Air - Na Cabarfeidh Canadian
Magus
Third Ear Band - Magus
Calcutta Raga
Embryo - 40
Now that we're firmly ensconced in the middle-Easter motif... the next T.O. purchase is Shakti (with John McLaughlin)'s 'Natural Elements' LP.
Face to Face
Shakti - Natural Elements
The Daffodil and the Eagle
Shakti - Natural Elements
Bridge of Sighs
Shakti - Natural Elements
Get Down and Get Sruti
Shakti - Natural Elements
Back to another 'General Music' set, starting with one of my favourite Canadian New Releases. The Phil Ogison Cut is an appetite-whetter for a feature I will be doing on his work in the coming few Nightwatches.
Tandem
Miriodor - Cobra Fakir Canadian New
There are no Chance Meetings
Phil Ogison - The Elopement Canadian
Austerity Blues
Thee Silver Mount Zion Memorial Orchestra - Fuck off Get Free We Pour Light on Everything Canadian
We Used to Know
Jethro Tull - Nothing is Easy: Live at the Isle of Wight 1970
OK, The Jethro Tull track is a Toronto purchase that didn't get a feature - maybe I'll play another track from it next Nightwatch. We Finish the evening with a side of music (from a release NOT bought in T.O. - I just wanted to play a bunch of it...)from Swedish band Algarnas Tragaard - they only produced one LP in '71 (which I don't have) and an LP of unreleased tracks 30 years later (which is where these tracks are from)! Enjoy!!
Takeoff
Algarnas Tragaard - Delayed
Interstellar Cruise
Algarnas Tragaard - Delayed
Almond Raga
Algarnas Tragaard - Delayed
Interactive CKCU
Bill Gee
Great show! Always wondered what lay behind the cover of that Algarnas Tragaard album - now I know!
