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! |
