Starting out in the jazzier-side, as we're ending up in the heaviness and psychedelia - 2 large features to finish up the Nightwatch: Freakdom (on Chant Records, featuring members of AutorYno, John Zorn & Rashanim and Secret Chiefs 3) and a full 2xLP-drop of a great new release on Cardinal Fuzz records from a Welsh band called Infinity Forms Of Yellow Remember!
| Starting out with a jazz-oriented solo LP from the the many-storied Sugarcane Harris (Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee, Don & Dewey, Pure Food & Drug Act, Tupelo Chain Sex, John Mayall, Frank Zappa & The Mothers of Invention, Johnny Otis among others!), and making our way to stranger territories thru the extent of this 45-minute set. |

| Moving from jazz to psych/post-rock, time to indulge in a little art-rock and 'zeuhl-lite' before hitting a great hard rock milestone... |
| Little Red Robin Hood Hit the Road Robert Wyatt - Rock Bottom - 1974 |
| Afica Anteria Univeria Zekt - The Unnamables - 1972 |
| Basking in the white light of the Midnight Sun Armageddon - S/T - 1976 |
| ... and onto the first of 2 features to finish this Edition of the Nightwatch. The fine folks at Chant Record have another fabulous release to offer: Freakdom! Freakdom is the result of the combined efforts of fretless guitarist David Konopnicki (leader of the Paris-based punk/improv trio AutorYno), bassist Shanir Blumenkranz (Yemen Blues, Yo-Yo Ma, John Zorn and Rashanim) and drummer Kenny Grohowski (Imperial Triumphant, Secret Chiefs 3, Rez Abbasi). Written in one day and recorded in New York City by 3-time Grammy winning engineer Marc Urselli, ‘Session One’ an adventure into freedom and madness drawing on metal, punk, thrash, dub, surf and various traditions of improvised music. |

| And the final feature, a 2xLP that I bought on a whim - a new release on Cardinal Fuzz from a Welsh band called Infinity Forms Of Yellow Remember. I was at Birdman and the
yellow-and-black ourobouros-turned-mobius-strip cover was speaking to me - I had to take the chance. Great neo-psych, from Heads-esque wah-abuse CRUNGE to Hawkwind-y space-rock explorations, and a good helping of top-notch vocals (even harmonies!) and some trancendental drones, this is a band to watch! |
