That is some review, Moshkito, and thanks again. In fact I am blushing a bit now haha!
 
I am very much in the experimentation process at the moment. I haven't done anything like the one you heard for a bit though as I have gone even more into the world of soundscapes and drones.
 
Big thanks again for listening and taking the time to review
...



If you check my website, you will find that I review foreign film a lot and a lot of music.  And some books, of course that relate to the subject. However, one of the hard and harshest things to do in a review, as an example, is do a review of FilmX and say something like this is a Bunuel-styled film ... and today's audience has never even seen a scene from Bunuel, and has no idea what that means. As such, it breaks the review and brings down the art in the piece, and that, to me, is counter productive to the whole process ... what is the point of reviewing something, if you are only putting it down, and you are making it like it's not worth listening/seeing, and you should instead go watch Kurosawa films from the 60's and 70's instead ... which, of course, would bore most audiences today, because these films do not have the "action/adventure" that so many film go'ers like to enjoy today.
 
My writing, in both film and music, tends to show a historical point of view, but that means I also have to clarify that point ... and that is not always easy. But it makes for a much stronger review in the end, instead of a lush/fluff/kissypoo fan-fest of words, which is what you and I read the most these days.
 
In the case of the CH, most of them do not like to read these reviews, and sometimes will disagree, but again, not all of them are as well versed in listening ... at least in their words ... they only talk about one thing (so to speak - which suggests a lack of variety!), and one would hope. I have no issue with someone loving AC/DC, but when they think every thing else is trash compared to them, I draw the line.
 
And this is the problem with electronic music, going as far back as the moron that stated that Tangerine Dream sounded like "washing machine music" (in Rolling Stone, no less!!!!! ought to say something about their listening habits!!!!) ... and my friend and room mate, who was on the air playing imports at the time, and all these strange and different things (look up Space Pirate Radio), immediately played quite a bit of sound effects ... so that you could see the difference, and how far off that person was in the first place, and should not have been reviewing something that he no ear for in the first place.
 
That has always stuck with me ... I simply try hard to not be that inconsiderate, but I will joke that Eric can only play one thing and he is not my kind of guitarist ... but that does not say much of anything about "blues" and such, and I happen to enjoy tremendously folks like Stevie Ray Vaughn whom I got to see with Robert Cray, and he was one of the best at "flowing" ... something that most people are afraid to do with music! Very visible in this board ... all you hear is songs, just about!
 
I have really not heard enough of your work, and will make a point of catching some more ... I'll let you know if I can put something up about it or not ... my stack of films to still see and review if over 20 and I have not even started writing some music reviews and books I want to get done ... and of course that Edgar Froese book, when it arrives by snail mail via the bottom of the ocean!
 
Nice to see someone simply create these things though, like you are ... it's more of a testament to the person and his/her art ... and that's saying something!
 
 

Music is not about notes and chords! My poem is not about the computer or monitor or letters! It's about how I was able to translate it from my insides!

One of my favorite Bob Dylan songs, done here by Joan Baez.

 
Contains a verse missing on the "Blood on the Tracks" version.

Speaking of great Bob Dylan covers, here's a great one of Senor by Tim O'Brien
 

 
But I actually prefer the live version O'Brien did with John Doyle, in this video at 28:25 or so:
 

 
Speaking of John Doyle, I love this track he did with Kate Rusby, truly haunting.

Resurrecting this thread...been on a Deep Purple kick for a few days, they certainly rock hard for a bunch of 70 yr olds, but they're bowing out now.

Here is another septuagenarian, Dave Cousins with track form the new Strawbs album "The Ferryman's Curse" 

 
Sort of "The Man Who Called Himself Jesus" meets "Hero and Heroine".

Here is another septuagenarian, Dave Cousins with track form the new Strawbs album "The Ferryman's Curse" 

 
Sort of "The Man Who Called Himself Jesus" meets "Hero and Heroine".




I still have a tremendous enjoyment for "Hero and Heroine", "Ghosts", and "Deadlines" ... and am capable of listening to these back to back and not get bored. 
 
"The Nails from the Hands of Christ" is very nice, though I miss the hard punch of the earlier material ... but the lyrics are priceless ... and a really harsh look at the emptiness of a lot of kids in their blind faith ... something that many of us went through. Only playing it right now for the 20th time or so!
 
(bits and pieces of the lyrics)
 
... played albums every day ...
... young man on the cross ...
... looked like Springsteen ...
... could have been the boss ...
... her windows in the chapel ...
... some kind of a ruse ...
... the ancient smell of incense ...
... was heading up her nose ...
... competitively priced ...

 
 Still a very nice thing to hear and a very nice treat.
 
PS: One really tough thing to do ... I can not review Dave Cousins' book ... it's really not about his music and its art, as much as it is about his radio career and how he had to abandon his band several times to go back to work. Maybe I just don't seem to enjoy the book as much as I thought I might when considering all the music and albums ... and will have to read it again! On the other board, there even was a large discussion about radio (FM specially!) and the main difference between America and England ... with one person not believing that things were much freer on radio in America in a time like 1972 and 1973 on FM radio, that at the time was not thought to be a threat to radio control like AM had for advertising and such. It wasn't until 1976 or 1977 that FM radio in America started getting commercialized with all the individual stations bought by corporate America to create the multimedia networks of today.

I came into the living room this morning BBC Radio 2 was on and Ken Bruce was playing a Christmassy ditty that immediately caught my ear.
Chris Squire and Alan White - "Run With the Fox" Something I had never heard before.

 
Looks like its no longer available

He plays that every year, one of my favourite prog Xmas tunes. I did text the show about the BBT Xmas song but I doubt he'll play it. The 'B-Side' (how quaint!) 'Snowfall' is the better song, for me.

I got a couple from the bands mailing list when the video cam out and two from Bandcamp this morning, but that's it so far. Two from band camp as the two songs are listed separately, not as a package.

I love the Late Night Tales album series where artists compile collections of their favorite tracks. I've discovered so much fantastic music from these. Today I came across the Nils Frahm one, and it's full of truly lovely mellow music. There's a sampler track of it here on Soundcloud along with a track listing:
 
https://soundcloud.com/la...ls-frahm-album-sampler
 
The full Nils Frahm Late Night Tales is on Spotify.
