Sunday September 16th, 2018 with Dav Fot
Les 4 Guitaristes De L'apocalypso-Bar! Elephant9!

Mixing things up tonight - usually I end up in the jazz realm... tonight I'm starting in it so I can finish in the 'rock' (kinda) side!
Managed to score this double LP a few weeks ago - I didn't know what it was all about, but, considering the line-up (not least of which is the keyboard work of George Duke and percussion from Airto...), I knew it couldn't be bad!
The Black Messiah
Cannonball Adderley - The Black Messiah - 1971
Dr. Honouris Cousa
Cannonball Adderley - The Black Messiah
Continuing on in the fusion vein, then moving to some zeuhl as we make our way to the psych and kraut!
Splat
Nucleus - Alleycat - 1975
Suite: Entrance/Repose/Exit
Eleventh House - Level One - 1975
Mochin
Masada - Volume 8 - Het - 1997
Les Folleries
Maneige - Ni Vent, Ni Nouvelle - 1977 Canadian
Ork Alarm
Magma - Kontarkosz - 1974
Was excited to find this LP this weekend - despite my reputation as a Magma fan, I have never owned this LP. When I did most of my Magma-buying, I was a bit of a 'zeuhl-purist', I guess, and didn't like other pop-cultural references leaking in... now I am a bit more accepting and see it as a grave mistake on my part....
Dondai
Magma - Ataahk - 1978
Calm
Roddy Ellias Trio - Monday's Dream - 2014 Canadian
The News
Sills and Smith - Echoes in Time - 2015 Canadian
Dragonfly
Jade Warrior - S/T - 1971
Thru jazz and a bit of acou-stickity to a bit of prog to hit the Krautrock touchstone.
Time
Embryo - Live 1971 (Radio Bremen) - 1971
Cock-o-Mary
Brainticket - Psychonaut - 1972
Finishing up that set running around in the mid-70's, as I have done for the better part of the show.. now onto the final hour, One full album-drop and one 'feature'(not the complete LP)' from more recent times! Normally I wouldn't do this... but I needed to get to work on Monday AM very early (if this works, I could get 4 hours sleep, instead of 3 - that extra hour is very precious...), and this is the way to doing that! The first, a great Quebecois band comprised of 4 guitarists and a 'drummer, put out 2 LPs in the mid-80's (this being the second). They featured (among other luminaries), guitariste Rene Lussier and Drummer Chris Cutler (Henry Cow, Art Bears, etc.). The second LP is brand-spanking-new and is the 5th LP from Norwegian improv/jam band Elephant9 on Rune Grammophon!
