There will be no reviews today due to a full school schedule, so for now, I leave you with the Earth, Wind & Fire classic, September, even if I missed the 21st by two days.
Youtube
Hiroshi Sato – Orient
Adrian Belew – Three of a Perfect Pair (Acoustic)
You may not be able to see this on my blog, but it’s worth going to YouTube to see Adrian Belew interpret his King Crimson classic song.
Various Artists – Soul Jazz Presents Junglist! Old Skool Ragga, D&B, Jungle 1993-95 Various Artists
Because this isn’t offered anywhere on Bandcamp, I decided to use YouTube to introduce my friends to early-era ragga, drum & bass, and jungle from the genre’s prime era. It sounds almost lo-fi these days, but the power was always there. This is a gem from Soul Jazz Records.
Daryl Hall & Toots and The Maytals – Sweet and Dandy
Food and reggae are a glorious match. Add Daryl Hall hosting the festivities and having Toots & The Maytals singing with him, and you have an absolutely charming bit of viewing for the evening.
The Song That Made Steely Dan Legends — But Destroyed the Band
Well, the title was bungled, but the reality is that the album, “Aja,” is a masterpiece. It was sad to see Steely Dan nearly destroyed by their quest for perfection.
Bongos & Marimbas – Vintage Lounge & Retro Jazz Vol.1 | Cocktail bar music
No reviews today due to a need to relax, so I offer this great channel for easy listening!
Wim Mertens & Glenn Branca – Belly Of An Architect (Original Soundtrack)
For no other reason than having a good memory about the great Wim Mertens and the late Glenn Branca, I present you this minimalist classic soundtrack, one of Mertens’ best works.
Culto sin Nombre – Dos Formas
Avant-progressive chamber rock has great appeal to me. Mexican quartet Culto Sin Nombre were among the best at it, though they always suffered from poor production quality. It’s a shame, really, as they should have been held in the same esteem as Univers Zero and Art Zoyd.
Fairouz – Wa Habibi
As today is Good Friday, as celebrated by the Julian Calendar, I will be taking tonight off for late-night prayers. I leave you with a track by Lebanese singer Fairuz (or Fairouz) celebrating the darkest day of the year. Have a blessed Paschal season.
