chrisp65 Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Spent some time trying to get in to Sun Ra. Today clearly was not the day. So back to the classics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the Sun Ra record I have, I don't need any more And only because I went to Discogs to get the pic have I just realised that the two CDs that came with it are not the same as the Double Vinyl. The vinyl is 16 tracks, The two Cds have another 18 tracks on top of that. Thats more tha enough Sun Ra 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Yeah in the spirit of never saying never, I won’t bin it, but it is on the pile for storage to make space for stuff that will actually be played. I’ve got limited space in the house, so if it isn’t one for playing it has to ship out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugeley Villa Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 On side two of the Clapton LP. Not really a fan to be honest . He’s got about 20 guests all playing different instruments which is fine, but was hoping for a more heavy blues from him. It’s listenable but can’t see me playing it much if at all again .

Rugeley Villa Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Got lucky again with this one. Really good condition, and a first pressing US import . Paid £10.60 which is a bargain I think 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KentVillan Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Fergus McCreadie - Forest Floor Just saw it in the Mercury Prize nominations and gave it a listen. Folky jazz piano, instrumental, bit of a Celtic twang to it. "The Unfurrowed Field", "Morning Moon" and "Glade" are good tracks to start with.

bickster Posted July 29, 2022 Moderator Share Posted July 29, 2022 Thanks to a nudge by @Xannthis arrived today. It's not like their current material that was linked, which is heading closer to Ripley Johnson territory this is exactly as described in the second photo I've wanted this for a fair while and I didn't realise it had been repressed, Some joker on Discogs is selling this in the UK, used albeit in great condition for £49.99 + £4.10 P&P. Even getting it shipped from America it cost £20 less than that, brand new from the band's Bandcamp 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 (edited) As I'm to Portugal tomorrow thought I'd check out their homegrown psychedelia Pretty good so far Edited July 30, 2022 by theboyangel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted July 31, 2022 Moderator Share Posted July 31, 2022 Ty Segall's new one - Hello, Hi Stripped back and fairly pastoral for Ty (It's kinda a lockdown session job). I like it, its a nice change of direction and pace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted July 31, 2022 Moderator Share Posted July 31, 2022 Steve "interesting" Davis and his band Utopia Strong's second album - International Treasure Right up my noodly intstrumental atmospheric psychedelic prog alley. I'm still on the first listen but this album is brilliant. It's certainly a bit of a change of direction. I keep getting little flashbacks of memory from the first time I ever heard Spirit of Eden by Talk Talk, there are very small signatures in here that trigger that, I'm not saying it's remotely like SOE, it isn't but that's just what it does to me Last track, Castalia, nothing wrong with it but it just doesn't fit with the rest of the album, jarringly so. The track before it though, the title track, that the rest of the album builds up to is absolutely superb. Maybe there's a concept here that I'm unaware of but.... hey ho, it's still a brillaint album 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t know it at all, but it was chilled. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
