Magma - Theusz Hahmtaak AND Mekanik Destrukitiw Kommandoh!
Got possessed by the spirit of Ron Sweetman (RIP) and decided to hit the jazz off the top, and decided to finish with both of the Magma classic cuts - Theusz Hahmtaak AND Mekanik Destrukitiw Kommandoh, recorded live in 1980.
| Starting out with some 'intellectual's Big Band' music from '71, then onto some local, more recent jazz... then back to '71 for an electric effort from a classic jazz sax player. |
| 5/4 Getaway Don Ellis - Tears of Joy - 1971 |
| Blue Nile Atlantis Jazz Ensemble - Oceanic Suite - 2016 
|
| Black Messiah Cannonball Adderley - Black Messiah - 1971 |
| Staying within the jazz realm... barely. This sets takes us to fusion territory, starting out with the amazing percussion work of Airto Moreira, joined by Joe Farrell on soprano sax, Hubert Laws on flute, Keith Jarrett on piano, Chick Corea on Fender Rhodes, George Benson on guitar and Ron Carter on bass, doing a great version of the 'Return to Forever' song, recorded that same year by the band of the same name, featuring most of the line-up above! |
| Return to Forever Airto (Moreira) - Free - 1972 |
| Puffin/Huffin Soft Machine - Alive and Well (Recorded in Paris) - 1978 |
| Tete de Roc Ungava - S/T - 1977
|
| Since we hit the jazz/fusion side (with a brief prog overtone, courtesy Ungava - one LP only, great Quebec Prog/fusion LP!), might as well his one of THE biggies, and play a few tracks from the seminal early LPs Tony Williams Lifetime, with Larry Young (organ), John McLaughlin (guitar, vocals), Jack Bruce (bass, vocals) |
| Vuelta Abajo Tony Williams Lifetime - John McLaughlin in Retrospect ('Turn it over' LP) - 1970 |
| Sangria for Three Tony Williams Lifetime - John McLaughlin in Retrospect ('Emergency' LP) - 1969 |
| OK, out of the fusion and into the Krautrock... and closer-to-present-day post-rock, getting us prepared for the onslaught of Zeuhl that closes the show! |
| Spain, Yes, Franco Finished! Embryo - Embryo's Rache - 1971 |
| Gaetan Hart J'envoie - La Vitesse des Chats Sauvages - 2009
|
| (Untitled) Guapo - Obscure Knowledge - 2015 |
| Finishing up with BOTH Of Magma's Magnum Opuses (Opii?) - Live versions from 1980! |
| Theusz Hahmtaak Magma - Retrospectives Vol 1 & 2 - 1980 |
| Mekanik Destrukitiw Kommandoh Magma - Retrospectives Vol 1 & 2 - 1980 |
