bickster Posted May 26, 2023 Moderator Share Posted May 26, 2023 Missus is away in that there London, I'm home alone, can't be arsed working, I have beers, snacks and tunes. I'm settled in for the night. Still mainly on the CDs though FIrst up David Axelrod's classic debut album Songs of Innocence. IIRC @Xann recommended this after I bought it's sequel. It was a good move It tells you on the cover why you'd want to listen to this, then you can play who sampled this. Cypress Hill sampled one of the tunes here in three different songs! Eminem, Unkle, Sooo many hip hop artists, it has been well and truly plundered.... ... as has the follow up Songs of Experience (I'm looking at you Baxter Dury!) which I've decided is going on next... Makes a mental note to acquire more Axe 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xann Posted May 26, 2023 Author Share Posted May 26, 2023 Lavelle got Axelrod in to do an album on Mo Wax, like 3 decades after the glory years. Even that one's got tracks to like, and it's peanuts money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 I am on a pub car park in Tebay in my meth wagon, on root to Scotchland. No telly so it’s music all night. Currently it’s this. We are seeing him in a few weeks and my wife knows 5 songs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted May 26, 2023 Moderator Share Posted May 26, 2023 After those two I've continued down a Carol Kaye rabbit hole, here with fellow members of the Wrecking Crew in a little side project of theirs The Zodiac put together by legendary Elektra Records label boss Jac Holzman. It's very much of it's time, experimental psychedelic rock and it's a concept album about the zodiac (12 songs each one named after a sign of the Zodiac). Also of note because its one of the first albums to feature a Moog synthesizer (along with the Monkees and the Doors in the same year - 1967) Trippy and weird, just the way I like it, the vocals are spoken word and as it says on the rear sleeve, best played in the dark 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hadn't actually made that connection, danke! EDIT: Sorry, yes you were talking about Cyrus Faryar, yes now you mention it is f***ing obvious. He records nothing of any note and nothing I can see since 1973 then pops up on a Pepe Deluxe album in 2021 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
