Another Nightwatch, more LPs to feature - the Fays is new, and the Koenji Hyakkei is a re-issue of one of their 1st LPs.
A bit of a scoop, so far as I know - the new recordings from Ottawa's own kings of swirling, psychedelic, electric folk, The Fays! |
Vancouver Riot The Fays - War Tower |
Honeychild The Fays - War Tower |
Quiet war The Fays - War Tower |
13 Speed of Crime The Fays - War Tower |
Back-to-back features, this time going back to recordings from 1973 (but not released until 1998) by English world/folk/prog band Jade Warrior. The LP also contains some standard blues-rock-ish material... but we'll stay with the more psychedelic side of Jade Warrior! |
English Morning Jade Warrior - Eclipse |
Sanga Jade Warrior - Eclipse |
Maenga Sketch Jade Warrior - Eclipse |
House of Dreams Jade Warrior - Eclipse |
Continuing on the ''world music'vein, but switching to Zeuhl (kinda - the only studio LP (1972) from Belgian band, the Lagger Blues Machine)to make way for the next feature... |
Tierra Rasa - Live |
Symphonie pts 1&2 Lagger Blues Machine - Lagger Blues Machine |
... on Japanese Zeuhl band Koenji Hiyakkei, and a reissue of their 1994 LP 'The 100 Sights of Keonji'! |
Avedumma Koenji Hiyakkei - Hundred Sights of Keonji |
Sunna Zarioki Koenji Hiyakkei - Hundred Sights of Keonji |
Gepek Koenji Hiyakkei - Hundred Sights of Keonji |
Yagonahh Koenji Hiyakkei - Hundred Sights of Keonji |
From Zeuhl Q-Prog/RIO ca. 1975! Maneige does show the genesis of what Koenji is going for, it just didn't have the punk and post-punk influence to draw upon! |
Les Adventures des Saxinette et Clarophone Maneige - Les Porches |
Haqq al-Yaqin Om - Advaitic Songs |
Finishing up with the obligatory lengthy track! I have a lot of respect for drone/doom metal, but don't make a steady diet of it. This band, tho', has a great take on the genre, from their 2nd-to-latest LP, released in 2013. |
You've Always Meant So Much To Me Wrekmeister Harmonies - You've Always Meant So Much To Me |
Very much enjoyed the music. Need to listen to Koenji segment again!
