Log #217 - Splashdown (Into the Ocean from the Stratosfear)

Eddy Bamyasi November 22, 2020 , , , ,
After the success of Lateralus last week I doubled down with TOOL's most recent album Fear Inoculum.Invincible sounds very much like Rush with the picked guitar and latter period Geddy Lee like vocals.7empest is epic and the opener is very powerful.The drumming is obviously very busy and front of mix in this style of full on nu-metal and the guitars are generally of the chugging variety - not an awful ...

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 ...

Tangerine Dream - The Virgin Years - Live

Eddy Bamyasi June 27, 2019 ,
Along with Kraftwerk, Tangerine Dream were probably the first purely electronic outfit to find commercial success with a rock audience. In an age of beanbags, beards, exotic tobacco consumption and lava lamps, albums like Phaedra, Rubycon and Stratosfear defined chillout while the Orb were still in short trousers. The Tangs' roots were in the sprawling jams of psychedelia, and they maintained ...

Log #140 - Glass Goes Pop

Eddy Bamyasi June 02, 2019 , , , , , ,
In the early 80s Philip Glass attempted to go pop with his Glassworks album - an album deliberately designed for the Sony Walkman (invented in 1979). Two decades later German electronic composer Wolfgang Voight recorded an album of atmospheric drones under the name Gas and called it Pop.  Philip Glass Glassworks Tom Waits Foreign Affairs Thievery Corporation The Mirror Conspiracy Tangerine ...

Log #118 - Double Negative, Double Low

Eddy Bamyasi December 30, 2018 , , , , , ,
The final week of the year sees a return to the ambience I have enjoyed over the last couple of months with the ever popular Tangerine Dream, possibly Brian Eno's greatest work, and a new album from William Basinski. I'm also giving the very lengthy Tired Sounds another spin and dipping into Low's current acclaimed album Double Negative. Wyclef Jean - The Ecleftic 2 Sides II A Book Low - Double ...

Log #115 - Vital Music For The Human Condition At The Dawn Of The New Millennium

Eddy Bamyasi December 09, 2018 , , , , , ,
Some new procurements this week with a Suede charity bin pick up, the debut album from German electronic duo Mouse On Mars, and a deep dive into minimalism with New York composer William Basinski. Radiohead's excellent follow up to Ok Computer retains an entry as does Ricochet from Tangerine Dream. The ever reliable Holger Czukay from Can makes a return with his very ...

Log #114 - Lowlight, Highlight, Midlight, and Sunlight Over The Atlantic

Eddy Bamyasi December 02, 2018 , , , ,
Highlight this week is Klaus Schulze's Audentity double album. But cover topping is provided by the Sunlight of Tangerine Dream's Ricochet 'cos it's just gorgeous (it's a shot from a beach on the west coast of France). Lowlight is the Arcade Fire album which was disappointing to be polite. Midlight we have two very interesting Radiohead albums. Arcade Fire ...
