Log #188 - Paddling In The Shallows

Eddy Bamyasi May 03, 2020 , , , ,
Just the one new entry this week: David Sylvian's mate Fennesz's sumptuous Agora album released this time last year. It sounds like the cover - shimmering watery ambience washing up over sand. Just four tracks of around 9 or 10 minutes each it's fairly modest in ambient length terms. There is less of the glitchy guitar distortion made famous on his Endless Summer album with Fennesz opting ...

Log #181 - A Lift To The Texas-Jerusalem Crossroads

Eddy Bamyasi March 15, 2020 , , , ,
Why have I not heard this stupendous album before? Loving the The Texas-Jerusalem Crossroads album from Lift To Experience and I've only played the first half. Fronted up by Josh T Pearson I was vaguely aware of his original band but had never heard this, their only album.  This is the story of three Texas boys busy mindin' their own business when the Angel of the Lord appeared ...

Log #139 - Gentle Nighthawks

Eddy Bamyasi May 26, 2019 , , , , , ,
This week I take in an early and oft overlooked album from Tom Waits - his 1975 outing Nighthawks At The Diner - an atmospheric whole greater than the sum of its insignificant parts. Eccentric English prog rockers Gentle Giant are given short shrift with their most famous album Octopus.  ~~~ The Alan Parsons Project Tales Of Mystery And Imagination Tom Waits Nighthawks ...

Log #138 - The Other Sides Of Jazz

Eddy Bamyasi May 19, 2019 , , , , , ,
A couple of new jazz albums in the player this week. Quite different. Firstly Kamasi Washington who seems to be a bit of a poster boy for the "new jazz revival". His latest album Heaven and Earth is of epic proportions, as was his previous release, the appropriately entitled The Epic. In fact it topped many "best of" lists for 2018. For me, I've tried to get into it, but so far I've been left ...
