Steve Winwood - Roll With It

Adam Ben Ezra - Pin Drop.

Some new stuff and some versions of tracks from his first album and life stuff. Extending himself musically, I feel.

Aretha Franklin Live and the Filmore West. Got this one from a list of the 10 best live albums ever. Listening to this I get much more of a feeling of having been at an event. The audience are much more part of the recording (more than you get from this video). I really get the sense over everyone - singer, band and audience - really enjoying themselves.

Thanks for those terrybooth, Adam Ben Ezra was new to me and I enjoyed that a great deal.
Weird to see the audience sitting around wearing headphones btw, it makes me wonder what they would miss from listening to the sound in the room!?

Nice, will check out Adam B. Ezra, seems everyone in the video is trying to drown him out,
whats with the headphones.

Greg Holden, bought 'chase the sun' on the strength of this.

Lunatic Soul - 'Impressions'



Lunatic Soul - Impression I

Mariusz Duda is the singer/bassist of Polish prog-rockers Riverside but there is another side to his musical adventures that he calls Lunatic Soul. On the albums released under this name he explores quieter ambient textures and electronic/acoustic atmospherics.

'Impressions' is almost entirely instrumental and is great for those late evening, lights out, chillout sessions with headphones. Excellent recording with nice sound effects and a bit Pink-Floydish in places.

I've been 'getting off the track' a lot lately, so this is my own personal medicine, shared with others who feel likewise -

Here's an oddity from the mists of obscurity:

Random Hold - 'Burn the Buildings'



Random Hold,Walking on the edge

Championed by Peter Gabriel, first album produced by Peter Hammill, featuring Eno's bass player and Gary Glitter's drummer - Random Hold should have been huge.

Based around the core of David Rhodes (gtr) and Dave Ferguson (keys) they were hotly tipped as a 'next-big-thing' around 1980 but it never quite happened. Rhodes left to become PG's confidante and permanent sideman, Ferguon pushed on with a new lineup and produced a moody but accessible second album 'Burn the Buildings' which was a favourite of mine back then.

The band also had the distinction of releasing 'Dancing in the Streets' as a single on the same day as the Bowie/Jagger version (guess which made the charts!) and when their their third album was due to be launched the record company fired the entire A&R department.

Memories, memories ....

The later work has been collected on the 'Different Views' collection and there is 'The View From Here' which has all their Hammill-produced material. Check 'em out.

This girl hasn't released an album yet but one newcomer worth watching.

Sigrid.
