Artist | Track | Album | Label | Comments | Special | |||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Set 1: some great rock. (Listen to this set: Pop-up) |
||||||||||
Jonathan Kane | Pops (track 2) (Listen: Pop-up) | February | Table Of The Elements | Jonathan Kane's brand of blues rock, a definite western feel, gradually & slightly builds, easygoing. | ||||||
Richard Lloyd | Field Of Fire (CD 1, track 9) (Listen: Pop-up) | Field Of Fire Deluxe | Reaction | One of the great rock songs ever. This is the original version - not the remixed and shortened version on CD #2. I understand why Lloyd remixed the entire original album (it's contained on CD #2 of this 2 CD set) but, in this case, at least, the original is magical. | *** | |||||
Marble Sheep | Tears (track 1) (Listen: Pop-up) | Message From Oarfish | Captain Trip | I sat down to listen to this album, expecting more of the great psych rock Marble Sheep often comes up with. I was momentarily taken aback, I admit, because I wasn't hearing psych rock at all. As luck would have it, we have here, and also on track 3 of this CD, some great straight-ahead rock. This track: a sustained exuberant blast is more like it! | *** | |||||
Mic break between Sets 1 & 2. Background music played during it: (Listen to this set: Pop-up) |
||||||||||
Les Chakachas | Love is like a Violin (track 4) | Arriba! | RCA International | Phat, sentimental sound. Feels like it's the slow song at the record hop. | ||||||
Set 2: the old radio show portion of the evening. (Listen to this set: Pop-up) |
||||||||||
Gunsmoke | Hero's Departure | Originally broadcast December 18, 1960 | (no label) |
There's a new guy in town, and he's a war hero - or is he?
This is one of the last episodes of one of radio's great series, honed down to its essentials of well-defined characters and a story style that makes it easy to imagine you're right there in it. The ending of this episode carries a punch. "I just changed the truth a little bit, Marshall. It made me seem important." Sure, it takes place in The West - or, as they call it in France, Le Far West. So, you could call it a western. But Gunsmoke was and is to this day far more than this. And that's why it's one of radio's great series. Unless you're among those who say it IS the greatest. And check the 2 commercials at the end: the first is for a laxative cereal (still on the market), and the second is for a sleeping pill called Mr. Sleep. Simpler times..... |

Set 3: the psych rock portion of the evening. (Listen to this set: Pop-up) |
||||||||||
Oneida | Preteen Weaponry Part 2 (track 2) (Listen: Pop-up) | Preteen Weaponry | Jagjaguwar | Slow, acidy & druggy, heavy, builds gradually & moderately, quieter last few minutes, sudden end. | ||||||
The Warlocks | Stone Hearts (track 3) (Listen: Pop-up) | Phoenix EP | Birdman | A sunnier feel, psych rock, harmonica, sustained. | ||||||
Up-Tight | 1994. Jan at Ritz (track 1: faded out by -3:00) (Listen: Pop-up) | Sweet Sister 1994 - 2003 | Up-Tight | Monster Japanese psych rock. The music on the CD is arranged from earliest (this piece) to most recent at the end. | ||||||
The Warlocks | Jam Of The Warlocks (track 6) (Listen: Pop-up) | Warlocks | Bomp! | Their 1st album. Anticipatory start, like the band's getting ready for what's to come - a piece of at-times ecstatic psych rock. | *** | |||||

Set 4: quieter & darker - to start. But it warms up. (Listen to this set: Pop-up) |
||||||||||
Maurizio Bianchi | Aurea Aetas (track 1) (Listen: Pop-up) | Das Platinzeitalter | Incunabulum | Airy, deep & dark, soft & quiet, deep & soft surges, gets somewhat active for a while, good for a feel of an experimental outer space, good at above quiet volume to bring out the slight storminess. Das Platinzeitalter translates as The Platinum Age. | ||||||
Giancarlo Becuzzi & Fabio Orsi | I'm Happy Here (Before The Rain) (track 2: faded out by -2:22) (Listen: Pop-up) | Muddy Speaking Ghosts Through My Machines | A Silent Place | Quiet and gentle guitar --> warm but mysterious music with echoey voices in the mix. | ||||||
Aidan Baker | The Sea Swells A Bit... (track 1) (Listen: Pop-up) | The Sea Swells A Bit... | A Silent Place | Feeling of water, deep-ish, slow & calming, you do feel like you're being slowly lifted and set down by the sea, develops a gentle edge underneath, slowly quiets down last few minutes. | *** | |||||

||||||||||
Musicians of Sekolas Tinggi Seni Indonesia | Gending Tunggul Kawung (track 2) (Listen: Pop-up) | Gamelan Of Central Java I: Classical Gendings | Felmay | Instrumental, quiet, meditative. | ||||||
James Blackshaw | Past Has Not Passed (track 2) (Listen: Pop-up) | Litany Of Echoes | Tompkins Square | Quiet start, then a luminous folk-oriented guitar over a darker base. Sweet music. | *** | |||||
