The Floating Points album Promises that got so much attention last year is worse than boring, it's infuriating. Clearly it's pretty light in terms of musical ideas, but that's not a problem in itself (I'll gladly listen to long Morton Feldman or Éliane Radigue recordings). It's an hour long...

Follow up from my previous post on this thread, here's a superb video of Mingus Big Band live in 2002. Great music, tight band, and another performance of Oh Lord, Don't Let Them Drop that Atomic Bomb on Me. The jazboneist, Conrad Herwig, featured on the Invisible Lady was new to me here, and a...

I liked the idea of these three kinda representing different generations of Jamaican pop stars that made a big impact on the international market. Each is an enormously charismatic singer, so much that the music alone conjures a huge vivid individual personality for the listener. For example...

Fantastic, @scotthilk These kinds of personal lists are THE BEST!

Gordon needs to take care with his matches and butts in that barn.

The Caretaker is another name for V/Vm, right?

Gainsbourg In Dub I was following up on Robbie Shakespeare, having only today learned of his recent death, when I stumbled on this. I wouldn't necessarily recommend trying to thru-listen to the 3xCD set unless you're in a very particular mood, but at the very least I love album covers that...

Well, I voted for Shaggy because, well, I was hoping some of his plasma glow of sexy charisma might reflect well in me, but then I switched conceits and got the hypothetical kid Black and Dekker by Desmond Dekker hoping that some of his aura of social conscience might work for me too and suit...

I believe I'm going to have to record a pod ep on Charles Mingus quite soon (hence the brushing up) and I had the thought that Mingus is halfway from Duke Ellington to Sun Ra.

Let's say a friend announces they got their niece/nephew a nice restored 1980s TT/amp/boxes kit for an upcoming birthday. You also know the kid and decide to give a birthday present too, a Best Of LP of your favorite Jamaican singer, which one of these three. Naturally you hope to have a chance...

The version in Amazon Music is is the 1995 reissue which Bob Shingleton describes thus: I suspect these are all from the same stereo master but with changes to the track indexing.

Brushing up on my Mingus, I came to this and figure others may also feel a need for it.

If you are asking about the Tribe Ahl Serif album I posted (not the Brian Jones LP) then I haven't produced any FLAC output. The file on Substack is mp3, 44100 Hz, stereo, fltp, 254 kb/s LAME3.99r. You can try getting it from the URL below...

Is it different from the recording available in digital now? (I know the cover art changed. I like the original very much.)

I only learned about this album while researching for a podcast ep about the best movie soundtrack album ever: Naked Lunch by Howard Shore featuring Ornette Coleman, who, of course, went to Jajouka and recorded with the Master Musicians a couple of years after Arnold Stahl made the recordings on...

I haven't posted here for a while but I figured y'all might be into this one. A relatively rare 2xLP that has arguably the most important and interesting recording of the Master Musicians of Jajouka. The famous music writer Stephen Davis explains I bought a copy via Discogs and made a digital...

The 180 g disk has an oversize hole to enhance that special sound of the vinyl.
