What Rock/Pop/Jazz-rock/Fusion/Prog/Experimental etc album are you listening to?

[Bryn]

Zappa: Waka/Wazoo (96/24 stream inport from QOBUZ). 'Discs' 1 to 3 mainly feature the 'Grand' Wazoo band, and 'Disc' 4 the 'Petit' Wazzo dectet. Having cancelled my order with amazon.co.uK for the 4-CD + Blu-ray set (they made a total mess of both the listing and the order) I was pleased to receive, this morning a dispatch confirmation email from Chalkys.com, to whom I switched the order yesterday, How long it will take Royal Mail to process it, is another matter. An order placed with Presto Classical ten days ago (2nd class mail) is still stuck in the post.

The Presto order now delivered, and Savall's Schubert 9th duly auditioned, this evening it's AMMs final performance, Cafe OTO, July 30th this year.

Mention must be made of this particular recording owing to my having listened to it quite a lot recently. I am much more familiar with the version of this tune on album Personae so it's nice listening to this one, which is more intricate and involved. I've ordered a copy of the CD (it's the only one of Hellborg and Lane's officially-released collaborations that I don't have, aside from a few releases under erstwhile Santana drummer Michael Shrieve, and I chanced upon quite a few live recordings on Jeff Sipe's bandcamp page t'other day).

Babble
That Petrol Emotion.

Please feel free to put me right on this, but quite a bit of their early music sounds as if it might have found a bigger audience in the 90s rather than the mid to late 80s.

Some fabulous stuff on here in any case, not least the almost- hit Big Decision, which really should have been a top 10 record.

If nobody can see a CD spinning, is it really spinning ?

Currently:
Heads and Heart by South London's Finest, The Sound.

a wonderful band.

There are many fine discoveries among recent Zappa releases, including those Zagreb/Ljubljana performances, relative audio quality weaknesses notwithstanding.

Just drawing attention to tonight's Late Junction's (11pm) inclusion of Keith Rowe; also of electric bassist Melvin Gibbs, some may remember from his mid-80s association with Ronald Shannon Jackson's power funk Decoding Society, and actor-cum singer/composer Keeley Forsyth:

I recommend this programme to all who contribute to this, er, broadly-defined sub-forum.

This is a good set.

The first band I ever saw live was Dolly Mixture.
Even in the late 70’s which saw real progress for women musicians in rock music , they sere a rare example of an all women band playing their own material. ( Apparently the Go Gos are still the only all women band to have a no 1 album in America playing mostly original material.)

Anyway, Dolly Mixture did a very neat line in tuneful pop/ punk ( or power pop) which won them plenty of accolades , if not much commercial success.
A short career more or less ended with a release of a double album of demos which I bought , like all their records, on release.
Their songs have a distinctive style, with some individuality.

Their are certainly quite a few songs worthy of rescuing and covering .
