commentsRIP: The Great Ryuici Sakamoto, founding member of YMO, actor, record producer and composer/muscian, died after a long illness on March 28th.
commentsThis 2022 half-speed-mastered, repress of The Who’s 3rd record sounds ridiculously good. Entwistle’s bass guitar especially comes to the fore but there’s amazing staging of all instruments.
commentsThis was right amongst the pomp and excess of the times. Eno had long gone and Bryan Ferry oozed confidence as the suave frontman.
commentsJust what we need, some bright and summery uplift. Beautifully packaged with embossed gold lettering and a big bold gatefold sleeve, the vinyl matches the cover and is pressed on gold nugget vinyl (Legendary Edition.
commentsAnother great Alison Goldfrapp/Will Gregory Collaboration. There’s no end to the talent of these two. While nothing will improve on my first exposure, this is one slick record.
commentsAnother all instrumental release from Tuscon’s best avant-garde, neo-psychedelic, Miles Davis Bitches Brew-era protagonists. Absolutely made for vinyl, there’s no other way to replicate and consume their retro-70’s schtick.
commentsThe themes were: _ Song of the š Earth, The Love š generation. , The heat is on!_
commentsOK, it’s quite corny in places but that only half describes this slightly easy/uneasy, but effortlessly listenable recording from Hawaii’s premier ex-shoe shining, piano shop proprietor.
commentsWow! This aināt rockānāroll, this is an electro-cabaret masterpiece. Tricky prodigy Alison Goldfrapp, croons like Liza Minelli, yodels like Melanie Oesch, and whistles like Roger Whitaker.
