What Are You Listening to 2024

//e.snmc.io/i/300/w/7f71b7577367371ce514c43456dad337/2567576
Heavy prog from Germany. Got some scorching leads and keyboard. Pretty psychedelic. Have been aware of the existence of this since the early 00ies when it cropped up on mp3 blogs but only just got hold of a physical copy.
So only heard it through a couple of times so far. But will be listening to it a lot more. Going through a heavy stoner hard rock phase so picking up a bunch of stuff I've been aware of for a while but not got around to getting.

Turkish heavy Anadolu rock trio combining trad influences with electric rock in a heavy psychedelic way. Some great snaking lead lines.
I was trying to work out earlier if the theme to their s/t track was borrowed from somewhere else, sounds familiar.
Have had this for a few years but neglected it for a while so getting back into it.
Maybe not quite as heavy as it could be but think it's pretty good.

2cd compilation of 20s blues chanteuse cheap but with pretty decent sound.
I grabbed this last week after it wasn't around locally for several months. I got a different compi of her last year, I think while I was reading her biography and had wanted to get this so did next time I saw it.
Janis Joplin bought her grave a headstone at the turn of the 70s and I think she was popular with the current hippy underground as a number of other reissues from the time were. This shares a cover image with a compilation that was released in 1970 and I think sold pretty well.
Her blues is played with a jazz combo so is a bit different to the delta blues that I think a lot of people associate prewar blues with. In Delta blues you normally have a solo performer accompanying themselves with a portable instrument like a guitar. It has been interesting to note that this music which has partially been portrayed more recently in terms of legacy going back to time immemorial actually seemed to be pretty new when it was being introduced in the early 20th century. The guitar as popular instrument ties in with the popularisation of the Sears catalogue, mail order and instalment payments. Which does also tie in with older traditions but new technology morphs the way that music is performed and also how it is heard. Like the fact that it is recorded for posterity was only a couple of decades old at the time. Commercial criteria narrowed what was being recorded all too soon and introduced formulae as well as excluded things it deemed outside of what was wanted to sell or represent the type of music to be recorded.
Sonow you have a load of older music coming out of copyright and some firms are doing their best to make it sound listenable on current technology. This is Not Now who do seem to be coming out with good audio. I'm enjoying this.

Country music guitarist who was heavily influential in the creation of countrypolitan and a few other not so great innovations. His own playing is pretty interesting so I've wanted to get some for a while. This does seem to avoid overt schmaltz in what I've heard so far.
It's certainly way more MOR than avant but this is a handy 3cd to have I think.

First 2 lps by the band that morphed out of Timebox and took its name from the lead singer. Featuring the very dextrous guitar of Ollie Halsall who had only been playing guitar for a couple of years by this point. He had played vibraphone beforehand which he does in some places here. Wondering if his conception coming from another instrument impacted his playing on guitar, it's quite great anyway.
Pretty blues based with a heavy jazz influence. So maybe like a more jazzed out Zep anyway recommended bband.

RIP Wayne Kramer but I think I wuld havev been listening to these anyway. I think I only found 66 Breakout last week while going through piles of things. The Total Energy label was run by John Sinclair I think or at least heavily involved him. So they released a load of previously unreleased material some of which has been reissued since and some hasn't.
These 2 are great anyway.

Heavy folk rock from Chicago with female vocals.
Production has a lot of space in it. Guitar is very heavy and distorted in places.
Lengthy version of Train Kept A Rollin is sung by someone with no knowledge of the lyrics. So has complete mumbled nonsense being sung
, not sure what to think of that, positive or negative? Garage innit?

2nd lp from early 70s twin guitar band.I rediscovered the band recently. Love the first couple of lps and the live in Memphis mini lp which takes its tracks from this lp and extends them. I don't love the vocals on Argus so not listened to that in an age. They had a lot of promise early on. 1st s/t lp has them taking off in an impactful hard rock direction, this takes off in a more folky jazzier direction with some psychedelic influences. Argus has some guitar interplay that sounds like a more mature take on the ballroom sound but I find the vocals really bland.
Not sure what the best releases of this set are. Have heard it was remastered and overcompressed a few years ago. Think it's a great lp anyway.

i've been listening to this Rie Nakajima release a bunch:
https://rienakajima.bandcamp.com/album/four-forms

it's very well mixed and sounds amazing in headphones, quite ASMR-ish. she's maybe the most compelling voice doing this kind of found objects/ kinetics sound stuff rn... anne-f jacques is also really great.

also i haven't heard any other jazz that prominently features the celesta, which is a terrible shame because it sounds like this:

diiv - is the is are

^ i played that a few weeks ago, holds up really well

for sure! the guitar/bass interplay, the textures, the feeling at times of being carried along by a dreamy motorik cloud… classic

That Jonas Burgwinkel record is great, thanks. I've heard on him a few other things, he's a pretty astonishing drummer.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3SOvuvl9C4I

- this is amazing stuff. so much fun to listen to. originally a 4xCassette box set from 2018. i'm listening on Youtube Music but i'm sure its on Bandcamp or Spotify and all the rest. almost 4 hours of sound. highly recommended!

It's so far my fave album of this year
(I've pre-ordered the files on BC, but was also kindly privy to an advance of it late last year to 'premiere' (ha) on my hobbyist internet radio show last fall, since am IRL friendly with them here in Toronto and we've nerded out about music in person in recent yrs)

Lately ingesting the most vaporous, formless, endless ambient dub that I can find. Really loving SVLBRD, Purl, Docetism, Deadbeat, Tikiman and the like. Also wonderful bumpy garage artists like Chaos in the CBD, Duke Hugh, Andras and Oscar Key Sung. Also just found Library Tapes? Wonderful little ambient piano vignettes.

Feral then-Yugoslavian Hard rock/stoner band from the early 70s who sing in phonetic sounding English. Really one of the more extreme of these bands I've heard veering into noise. Like an adult garage but heavy. Possibly more uptempo than a lot of bands of the era.
I'd heard about the existence of this for years but finally got a copy.

3rd lp by Californian desert rock/stoner band. I just replaced a scratched up copy of this I had 20 years ago.
I can't hear this without hearing the early 70s stuff running through it. So do wonder how truthful Josh Homme was in separating himself from earlier influences. His bandmates went on to cover artists from the era in later projects. Homme said he listened to Black Flag and indie stuff. I'm definitely hearing echoes of the psych and hard rock stuff in here.
Anyway, powerful, visceral, archetypal rock that I think still stands up well a few decades later.

Australian indie pop band best of. Turned up in a pile. Erudite jangley stuff. I got to seer Robert Forster do a talk on music that influenced him during the Arts Festival last year which was interesting. Don't think I found this at t6he time.
Picked this up at reduced price a couple of decades ago, do listen to it from time to time and could get further into bits of it.
Has their song about Lee Remick as an unlisted extra track. That has apparently intentionally ironic bad rhymes on things but was about their first single so their craft came along in leaps and bounds. It's still quite catchy.

Ethan Miller of Comets On Fire's later band picking up on various turn of the 70s styles.hard rock, psych, folk rock, gospel a melange I had noticed was pretty similar to the one that Paul Kantner and Grace Slick's solo lp Sunfighter was based around. I listened to that earlier in the week too.
Looks like I've got very behind with this band. I know I enjoy the first couple of lps anyway.

checking out some late period carthy/swarbrick recordings. maybe not quite as fleet & sprightly as in their earlier days, but still what a glorious combination they made.

Pretty otherworldly, it has been seen as twinned with Robert Wyatt's Rock Bottom. So maybe oceanic too.Mid 70s semi avant music. Blooming lovely.

Zeuhl band's 3rd lp and beginning to define what Zeuhl was as opposed to the earlier lps jazz-rock. This is shaped by John Coltrane, Carl Orff, Heavy repetitive chants, heavy bass and Christian Vander's drumming. Guitar is present but not the most prominent instrument, when it is heard it is quite acidic. Music is telling the saga of Kobaia in an invented language. I think this album is about the betrayal of Kobaia by an earth that kills a Kobaian ambassador.

Compilation of distorto blues group's recordings for the B??BC. I've been listening to the 1st disc which is selections of recordings from 1969. There is another version of this set that adds another disc which fills out all of the material they recorded for the company and apparently remixed the sound to add more bass.
Zep were pretty raw in 69, which is also shown on a number of bootlegs from the time.I think this is still the only live material from the time to have been officially released. (including the other material from the source of course).

VDGG lead singer's 1974 solo lp backed by VDGG but with him playing guitar. Seen to be protopunk partially because it was one of Lydon;'s choices for playing on Capitol Radio and partially because it's visceral and vitriolic. Dashed fine piece of music anyway.

Japanes hard rock, like a fluid Sabbath. This is their 2nd lp with some of the lp recorded backing singer Carmen Maki added as bonus. She has a great voice but her phonetic pronunciation detracts from her singing, so I'd prefer this if she had sung in Japanese.
The lp itself is one of the better hard rock sets from the time. Quite a progression from their too authentic blues band s/t 1st lp. Guitar is more overblown for one thing.
I find this really satisfying anyway.
It's very heavy, intense and quite hypnotic. I have the version that came in the Studio Zund box set

I picked this up thinking it was going to be 20s and 30s old timey etc and it turns out to be 40s to 70s. Still pretty great. Lots of country and blues picking and frailing.

This was from the same place and I think purchase. Good sounding set of acoustic blues stuff. With Frank Stokes on the cover. I got a Document set by him a couple of days earlier.

compilation of various musics from North Africa from desert blues to more traditional Mande Sounds and had a free cd by Mamane Barka that I've yet to listen to.

Sublime record by Malian guitarist and international band including Taj Mahal on acoustic guitar. Mix of his Malian blues and possibly more traditional stuff. Pretty great anyway, I think I missed another couple of his that had been there when I first looked.
All of this traditional stuff apparently came from one person's collection.

Hungarian folk played by an official ensemble so not sure how authentic and gritty. ~Gets pretty noisy when woodwind drone instruments are in play.&I do find it pretty cool.

Compilation of 2 cajun records from the time of the revival. I need to listen to this more but am enjoying what I've heard.
Need to go back to the shop to see if they've still got any of the things I didn't grab last week

Uncut covermount sampler of the Can Bootleg series. Aston sounds interesting from this track

Japanese psych prog band from the early 70s. Remind me of the Doors musically along with Pink Floyd, King Crimson and a few others.
Found this had fallen down somewhere after not being able to find it recently. But pretty good listen.

Isshoku Sokuhatsu [Yonin-Bayashi] was the last title there. Hadn't realised it didn't have a name showing.
