A Generally General show. No grand features, a few small ones, but just meandering the musical landscape. Not a bad way to go on a Sunday night.
Start out with a few tracks from the second-to-latest Godspeed LP. It's new to me, so we'll call it a micro-feature. |
Peasantry or 'Light! Inside of Light!' Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Asunder, Sweet and Other Distress |
Asunder, Sweet Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Asunder, Sweet and Other Distress |
Staying in post-rock, getting a little intense before we drop into the prog-vein. |
Nathalie Neal Swans - To Be Kind |
Let the Machine Take It The Grey - Asleep at the Wheel |
Nothing is the Real Thing Ad Astra Per Aspera - Catapult Calypso |
Everybody Lets Me Down Ad Astra Per Aspera - Catapult Calypso |
Zoltan Koenji Hiyakkei - Hundred Lights of Koenji |
Widget Nomeansno - One Down Two To Go |
A couple of tracks in that set from another new-to-me LP, and band from Lawrence, Kansas, that released one LP in '05. Good album! Now that we've brushed with the prog-side, might as well dive in head-first with an Ottawa band (it's been a long time since I've heard anything from them... maybe defunct?)'s 2007, Rebel Wheel! |
Hiding in Waiting The Rebel Wheel - Diagramma |
Cogs in Cogs Gentle Giant - The Power and the Glory |
Symphony Grobschnitt - S/T |
That was certainly a nod to some hardcore prog - one 'neo', one highly-touted classic, and one almost-kraut obscurity. Now back to the present-day (more-or-less) heavy-jam material from Denmark's Mythic Sunship, and their 2015 release, Ouroboros. |
Year of the Serpent Mythic Sunship - Ouroboros |
Gneiss Rhyton - Kykeon |
Pannychis Rhyton - Kykeon |
Another micro-feature for another new-to-me LP from Brooklyn psych/improv band Rhyton, from an LP they released in 2014! Now a little recent obscurity from the late, great Daevid Allen! |
The Latest Curfew Craze Daevid Allen Weird Quartet - Elevenses |
Personal Magician Dead Wrestler - 6-Song EP |
Fish Out of Water John Lee - Chu Bubaloo |
Ballad of Sawney Bean/Sawney Bean's Death Dance Snakefinger - Night of Desirable Objects |
Stay Dead, Lazarus Christmas - Lies to Live By |
Jonathan Brahman - S/T |
After The Love George Duke - Liberated Fantasies |
Love II Cosmic Range - New Latitudes |
Finishing up with a strange mixture, both of whom we heard a track from last Nightwatch - another track from some improv-jazz-sters from Chant Records, We The Gleaners... then another track from French Band Oiseaux Tempete |
Daytime Aetheist We the Gleaners - S/T |
Palindrome Series (Live at Saint-Merry) Oiseaux Tempete - ÜTOPIYA? |
Awesome start to the show.
