Not familiar with that one, but anything by Dr John is good to hear.

[Mikeandvan]

Another fantastic Pat Metheny LP 'Offramp', the guy was a prodigy! I've never known a label like ECM, music you can have on as background noise, yet stimulating and intelligent, as intelligent as music can be anyway. Somebody else could explain this better than me.

Thanks Robin - "Body and Soul" really is a great album, recording is first rate as this is an early pressing, later "remasters" apparently had all sorts of issues. Anyway, one more before tea time:

I bought a new vinyl copy of Legend for my son, a couple of years ago, his first vinyl LP. I don't think it has been played since!

I did stream that a few days ago - not bad, warrants another go.

Can't believe it is over 40 years since I bought this. Still a great voice, and a sad, sad story, like so many of the greats of popular music! :(

Not a Zappa recording I'm familiar with. But then he produced so many: I have about 40 of Zappa's recordings, but not that one!

In my innocent past I was a bit of fan of the group The Nice, as I was fascinated by their fusion (or, as I later realised, the 'confusion') of classical music with rock music.

The Nice, lead by the classically trained keyboard player Keith Emerson, were one of the first groups in the late '60s to experiment with this. For some reason I decided to dig out some of their LPs:

Oh dear, whatever I thought of them then (and having seen them twice), my tastes have certainly changed. :eek: In few words, I found their work a confusing mismash of covers of extracts of various famous classical works, played by rock musicians of average musical ability, mixed in with songs sung by a vocalist with one of the worse voices in rock history. Largely an excuse for Keith Emerson to show off with his organ "noodlings", which often verge on the bombasitic and performative. :doh:

Oh well ....!

Thanks Barry. Cape Verde, Sal specifically. Had 11 days of doing bugger all, got through six books and ate more than we should have. But the food was so good, and as much wine and beers as you could handle. Though I wasn't greedy with the booze :)

Formerly a Portuguese colony, they gained independence in 1975. The official language is Portuguese, though the most commonly-used language was Creole. The locals, and especially the hotel staff, were just great - attentive, polite, and always smiling. Handsome men and beautiful women, who certainly lived up to their "no stress" motto. We really enjoyed our stay there, just a shame the mosquitoes made mincemeat of our legs.

[Barry]

Wow! Cape Verde has been on my "bucket list" for some time now. Did you take any photos to make me jealous? ;)

[Pigmy Pony]

I did take a few photos (with my phone), but nothing that would make you jealous... probably the opposite really, as they are largely of the 'critters', a lifelong fascination of mine. Including a praying mantis, an elephant hawk moth caterpillar, a couple of blinded sphinx moths, and geckos climbing anything climbable :)

Most of Sal resembles a lunar landscape, and hardly what you'd call beautiful. But the beaches are superb, not crowded, and there is a 'vibe' to the place, it has been described as the "European Caribbean" and I get that.

The only 'fly in the ointment' (almost literally) has to be the mosquitoes. And we weren't the only ones suffering. But maybe Anita made more noise about it than everyone else, and the hotel gave us mosquito killer sprays, offered us a room upgrade which was really something special, with its duplex design with bedroom on a mezzanine overlooking the ocean and private jacuzzi. But we turned it down as we really liked our own 'swim up' room :)

Besides which I know there are folk who are professional complainers and routinely moan in order to get something for nothing, and I didn't want to be that person. But they did give us a free meal and drinks at the local 'Mediterranean' restaurant, and let us keep the room right up to departure time. I think the tour operators (Tui) are probably trying to avoid negative and damaging reviews. But we wouldn't have done that anyway.

But we know that if and when we return it will be during the winter months (it's only about 15 degrees north of the equator, so weather is pretty much the same all year round), and we'll go armed with a shitload of the best mozzie repellent money can buy!

[Barry]

Don't worry about the photos. When I'm in "parts foreign" I take all sorts of strange photos, sometimes of insects, but whatever takes my fancy to remind me of the trip.

My great uncle was a keen lepidopterist and has a rather dull moth named after him. (I don't know it's name but will probably end with dammerensis).
As a small child I was given a mounted butterfly (which he may have caught himself). It is Chrysiridia Madagascariensis; a colourful butterfly, about 3 to 4" in size. I had forgotten about it, but when I visited Madagascar some thirty years later, whilst trekking through the swiddens I was amazed to see a whole flurry of these butterflies flying about.

Sun Ra recordings are quite rare, often pressed in small numbers, so fetch a lot of money in the used market. Interesting to see that some of them are being re-pressed (though I'm not sure about the re-mastering).

However I have a strict rule when it comes to vinyl - it has to be black!

I believe the correct term these days would be 'vinyl of colour'... as opposed to coloured vinyl... I find it all very confusing :doh:

According to Wikipedia, Sun Ra was "one of the most prolific artists of the 20th century, releasing dozens of singles and over 100 full length albums, comprising well over 1,000 songs". If they'd been made in large quantities there wouldn't be enough vinyl for anyone else.

[Barry]

Sun Ra made a lot of recordings, but they were pressed in small numbers.
He claimed to have come from the planet Saturn, so perhaps he brought some Saturnine vinyl with him. :scratch:

In days of old, when coloured vinyl was more noisy than black, I would have agreed with you. It is now perfectly possible to buy quiet coloured vinyl, so a bit of variety is good.

I agree, I have a few coloured vinyl albums (not out of choice), and I was surprised to find the SQ to be absolutely fine. It's the picture discs I can't be doing with - I have a Eurythmics album and an Alice Cooper 12" single, which are so bad they're unlistenable.

It's easy to look down on pop and most of what I listen to is heavier, but this album is a masterpiece IMHO. Songs, production, the lot... Follow-up Provision is almost as good. Green Gartside is a genius.

Watched a film while in Cape Verde called "Widows", which was pretty good, and in English, but I found the Portuguese subtitles a bit distracting. Saw it again last night sans subtitles, and the soundtrack included "Wild is the Wind", which has led me to giving this a play:

One can't have too much Nina Simone! I should know as I must have around dozen CDs - many of them compilations. :lol:

A classical trained pianist, who was not afraid to 'tell it like it is'.

RIP Nina.

You're probably right, but this is the only other one I have. On it goes...

Arguably Tony Iommi's best effort under the Sabbath name after the Ozzy and Dio periods. I prefer the Ray Gillen demos in this release to the Tony Martin studio version.

Terry Reid RIP

Sad to learn today of the death of Terry Reid. A superb guitarist who turned down both invitations to be lead vocalist with Led Zeppelin and lead guitarist with Deep Purple, in order to pursue a solo career. Never achieved personal commercial success, but many of his songs were covered by other artists.

Sadly I cannot listen to Tom Waits; I can stand the sound of his voice.
Shame, as the subject matter of his songs are socially interesting.

Well that landed quick, I only posted it yesterday morning :sofa: Promptly packed it then repeatedly forgot to go to the Post Office... I once met a bloke with a worse memory than me, for the life of me I can't remember his name.

I'd agree with that... I saw them at Glastonbury that year, some of it made it onto this album.

Me too - it arrived this morning. :)

Bought it when it first came out, but I doubt I’ve played it in 15 years, maybe more - I did like it, will add to the list of things to play!
