Night Watch
Sunday December 27th, 2015 with Dāv Fot
Caveman Hughscore!

The final Nigthtwatch of 2015, and, as per my habit, the final show of the year WILL NOT feature any top-10's/year-in-retrospective/seasonal programming/etc. Never have done that, not starting now. It WILL be a low-impact show, so I can just take those few hours to relax, listen to tunes and decompress from the usual holiday madness. Self-indulgent, yes, but I've never made excuses for this being the Nightwatch modus operandi/raison d'etre.
Hughscore is essentially Hugh Hopper (RIP 2009) from the Soft Machine (among other projects...) teaming up with a group of post-rock musicians from Seattle known as Caveman Shoestore. They released a few albums in the late-90's.

After that, some more neo(ish)/RIO(ish) jazz and then some elder jazz-rock!
Primogenia Satiria
Akineton Retard - Akineton ao vivo
Snakehips' Dream
Nucleus - Solar Plexus
Now, satisfying the krautist in me with some classics!
Soap Shop Rock
Amon Duul II - Yeti
Solar Music
Grobschnitt - Ballerman
Yes, that was a long-winded one... but Krautrock was never noted for brevity. More? Sure!!
Supernova 1604
Space Debris - She's A Temple
Like a Rolling Stone
Terje Rypdal - Odysee
Yes, Finishing up that set, not with krautrock, but... Nor-rock? Closing out this edition of the Nightwatch with something 'boótleggy', but a decent recording for all that, and a fine document of Mahavishnu at their early best, with the classic line-up! Enjoy!

Great stuff! I've always loved that particular Nucleus album.
