Decided to start out in a more 'Rock' style - haven't done that in a while... and then hit an acoustic aesthetic... then on to the prog/jazz standard fare for The Nightwatch.
Livin' in the early-90's for the first 3 cuts! Starting In Austrailia with one of Ed Keupper's post-Saints projects, then into 2 LP's from Fredricton Ex-Pats. Wonder whatever happened to Geordie Haley and Chad McQuarrie (Karen Foster)? |
It's still Nowhere The Aints - Acension |
This is the Time Geordie Haley - Same Boat: Last Fish Dinner |
Synthesize Karen Foster - In Formation go the Heard |
Satori Pt. 4 Flower Travellin' Band - Satori |
Finishing with an obscure Canadian classic from a Japanese Band (!!) from 1971... then on to a live recording from another obscure 'psychedelic' Canadian classic - from Fredicton, recorded in the late-80's! |
Circus of Disharmony Exploding Meet - Circus of Disharmony |
Good For Business Cuzo - Insalada Ovni |
The Disco Sounds of Roof Rack Expanda Fuzz - Bluets |
Murder on My Skin Camp Radio - Kelp-16 Sampler - 2010 |
Two Twenty-Twos Chris Page - Kelp-16 Sampler |
Too Close to the Sun New Model Army - Carnival |
After hitting a few O-town classics (and a bit of Chris Page head-nod) in that set as we head towards the acoustic touchstone, we roll back to Ottawa with a sampling of a few track from both releases from a local duo, and friends!! They said it wasn't really in the Nightwatch's wheelhouse... and I suppose they were right... but that doesn't stop me from pronouncing them wonderful, nay, gorgeous records!! Well done!! |
The Chalice/The Blade Sills and Smith - Echoes in Time |
Echoes Sills and Smith - Echoes in Time |
Waves Sills and Smith - Maps - Burned or Lost |
Grave Fascination Sills and Smith - Maps - Burned or Lost |
Next set - we get a few more acousticky numbers (including Rashanim - apparently they're jamming again!), but make our way back to the Classic Nightwatch stomping ground, the psych, the prog, the jazz! |
California John Mayall - The Turning Point |
Deborah Rashanim - The Gathering |
All Our Dreams Hawkwind Light Orchesra - Stellar Varations |
You Lied Dillinger - Don't Lie to the Band |
The final, promised feature - a full-album-drop of Yonin Biyashi's 2nd LP, released in '74 - great Japanese Prog, an unheralded classic! After that we finish the Nightwatch with the centrepiece of Miles Davis' 1979 LP 'Circle in the Round'! |
Sora To Kumo Yonin Bayashi - Ishoku Sokuhatsu |
Omatsuri Yonin Bayashi - Ishoku Sokuhatsu |
