Fewer Features this week, probably a good thing! Finding the Skeleton Crew LP was a stroke of luck, though, and many thanks to Bijon (Host of the Mind Melt) for Supplying the Embryo LP!
Start with something from ex-Bureaucrats' bassist Grant Bukosky, and his current project, Burning Squirrel. It then starts to get a little strange, leading up to... |
Flesh is My Business Burning Squirrel - Flesh is My Business |
The Judgement of a Throne Carlangas - The Judgement of a Throne |
Ame Debut Catherine Ribeiro & Alpes - Ame Debut |
Arena J'envoie - La vitesse des chats sauvages |
Vanity Vanity The Muffins - Open City |
The First Feature, new acquisition (for me), the 1986 LP from Fred Frith/Tom Cora collaboration band, Skeleton Crew! |
The Hand that Bites Skeleton Crew - The Country of Blinds |
Dead Sheep Skeleton Crew - The Country of Blinds |
Bingo Skeleton Crew - The Country of Blinds |
Foot in Hole Skeleton Crew - The Country of Blinds |
Hot Field Skeleton Crew - The Country of Blinds |
The Birds of Japan Skeleton Crew - The Country of Blinds |
Now time to stretch out with some more Friuth Madness and a lengthy track from a re-formed version of the band Massacre (2007, with Bill Laswell on bass and Charles Hayward on Drums)! |
Send Massacre - Lonely Hearts |
Now hitting some great, straight-up acid rock with a great rendition of the Ventures' 'Walk Don't Run' as interpreted by... |
Walk Don't Run Pink Fairies - What a Bunch of Sweeties |
Ur-Whales Space Debris - Elephant Moon |
Stay Dead, Lazarus The Spirit of Christmas - Lies to Live By |
I have always loved Embryo, and once owned 'Father, Son and Holy Ghosts'... but sold it about 20 years ago in a fit of poverty. Finally it makes it's way back into my hands via the munificence of Bijon (Host of the Mind Melt). So a public thank-you is in order! |
King Insano Embryo - Father, Son and Holy Ghosts |
Free Embryo - Father, Son and Holy Ghosts |
Forgotten Sea Embryo - Father, Son and Holy Ghosts |
Finishing with the krautrock... we make headway into jazz-rock as we are usually wont to do, via the auspices of a little space-rock... |
Lunar Musick Suite Steve Hillage - Live Herald |
Concerto pour Des Mondes Disparu Franck Dervieux - Dimension 'M' |
Idalah-Abal Electric Masada - 50exp4 |
And we finish with some prime Zeuhl, from Zao's obscure classic 'Osiris' |
Shardaz Zao - Osiris |
