Night Watch
Sunday January 21st, 2018 with Dav Fot
Acid Mothers Temple & The Melting Paraiso U.F.O.!! Merry Miscellany!
Since there were so many features last Nightwatch, I felt it was time to do a show largely of miscellaneous tracks, aside from 2 songs in a row from Acid Mother's Temple. Good old-fashioned Nightwatch...
While there aren't much in the way of features, in this set there are a few more tracks from LPs that were featured on last weeks show, bands that I felt deserved at least one more track: Moths and Locusts, TBWNIAS, and the Grails! |
He Who Has the Most Strings Moths and Locusts - Intro/Outro |
Just Funkin' You Over The Stars TBWNIAS - Cosmic Curios |
The Thief Steals In the Darkness Highwatt Electrocutions - Night Songs |
11th Hour (Ventures) Grails - Take Refuge in Clean Living |
Gong Painting Butterflies and Zebras - S/T |
The one-and-only feature-esque thing I'm doing tonight, a couple of tracks from Acid Mothers Temple & The Melting Paraiso U.F.O.'s 2016 release 'Wake to a New Dawn of Another Astro Era'. |
Nebulous Hyper Meditation Part.1 Acid Mothers Temple & The Melting Paraiso U.F.O. - Wake to a New Dawn of Another Astro Era |
Nebulous Hyper Meditation Part.2 Acid Mothers Temple & The Melting Paraiso U.F.O. - Wake to a New Dawn of Another Astro Era |
Now, back to the Miscellaneous - Another band that is no longer around, Chicago's Ga'an. Neo-zeuhl with an American flava! |
Arms They Speak Ga'an - Black Equus |
O-Wa Olatunji - Soul Makossa |
Crevass of Sound Carlangas - The Judgement of a Throne |
Master Builder Gong - You |
Time for a Krautrock flourish... and it's a Krautrock piece with an ín memoriam' attached to it. Brilliant drummer/percussionist, founding member and guiding light behind perennial kraut/jazz/world-music-teers Embryo, Christian Burchard, has left us at the age of 72. |
Ehna Ehna Abu Lele Embryo - We Keep On |
One by One Stomu Yamash'ta's East Wind - One by One (Soundtrack) |
La Fluente Del Ritmo Santana - Caravansarai |
With a bit of a fusion from Santana, we run abruptly into a prog-fest - I have long wanted a copy of Yes''Tales from Topographic Oceans'... and now I have it. It's a polarizing 2xLP, some hating it, some impressed... so I was intrigued. I actually think it might be one of my favourites. |
The Ancient Yes - Tales from Topographic Oceans |
And we finish off the Nightwatch with 2 more Prog tidbits - one from a well-known Italian band, PFM, who are still around (in one form or another), and finishing with a less-heralded French band, Pulsar, who released 3 LP's in the early/mid-70's., and one in the 80's... and then a comeback LP in the 2000's. This track is from their 2nd LP from '76 |
Alta Loma Nine 'Till Five / William Tell Overture PFM (Premiata Forneria Marconi) - Cook |
Strands of the Future Pulsar - Strands of the Future |
