Playlist over the last week.

[1964white]

I didn't know either until I discovered Rock Bottom recently. Before that I was only really aware of Soft Machine and his collaborations.

I expect it's another rabbit hole, and I shall now have to listen to everything he's done!

Rock Bottom is a gem Sara

'Alifib' & 'Alifie'

Acquired taste, needs some listening but if get it the album is a gorgeous!

Gorgeous, as you say; human frailty as beauty. Took me a couple of tracks to adjust to his voice, then listened to it straight through three times.

[1964white]

Yeah, lovely voice. I first heard her on BBC 6Music (The Arrow & The Aim) and it made me curious to discover more about her.

Just buy it Durly, you'll love it

George Duke 'A Brazilian Love Affair'

An album which seamlessly mixed jazz with pop and soul influences.....love it

[1964white]

Neil Young 'Rust Never Sleeps'

Young’s always shown a knack for striking a chord, be it musical, vocal or lyrical. On Rust Never Sleeps, he hits all three notes with sustained power,

[hector]

Only 3 notes on the entire album, and of course a miserable whiney voice.....

Pass the rusty razor blades

Joni Mitchell

Quite a departure from Joni's usual style, an album I consider an indispensable part of my music collection.

One for your thoughts Hector

[1964white]

Pink Floyd 'The Wall'

Some brilliant songs, some not that great. Nowhere near as strong as their early 70's albums

& a half

[1964white]

The Ruts 'The Crack'

Their debut album is an essential component of any self-respecting punk collection.

[1964white]

Supertramp 'Breakfast In America'

Not as good as 'Crime' in my opinion however a very fine album

& a half

I wonder who is gonna nab this 5 star album in the 1989 poll

I'm guessing either Ges or Gandi, maybe Billie

Love & money Strange Kind of Love

[Durly]

The Beach Boys - Surf's Up
Scarling - So Long, Scarecrow
Bark Psychosis - Blue

Fantastic, Sara. One of my very favourite artists. Both their full length albums are superb, as are the early singles.
Hex is a masterpiece but I never thought Codename: Dustsucker got the love it deserved. It was a great record to make after such an extended period of inactivity.
