Neil Young-Live At The Canturbury House

[Christo]

Silly title, terrific music. And again: filled with memories of a live concert from their European Tour, heard in De Melkweg in Amsterdam, back in 1983. Only released as a CD in 1997. Described as "proto-ambient soundscapes versus borderline synth pop."

               

Nobody knows them and nobody here cares, I know.    But the loss is all yours!

Is that a young von Karajan I see? . . .

.... performing in a certain Munich beer cellar?  No. It's Karl Gasleben in Göteborg. 

On with Twice A Man, now: Instru Mental (1998). Instrumental music from five different productions: three tracks from `A line of moments' (1995), two from the film `Sommaren' (1995) and some individual tracks taken from Gibson songs (1993), the film `Förr i världen' (1990) and the dance performance `Hem' (1995).

Three beautiful people 

I was listening to some Paco de Lucia not long ago, just a few random tracks given to me as part of a collection. Any suggestions where to start with an album?

Almoraima is my favorite.
Chronologically three of his finest flamenco albums would be:
Fuente Y Caudal (if you can find a CD pick one for me as well)
Almoraima
Siroco

For non-flamenco albums you could try de Falla transcriptions disc and En Hispanoamerica, album with latin american standards (the one with photo of him and his brother on the cover, I've not heard the one with blue-ish cover, don't know if it is the same).

I'm not familiar with his jazz discs with Di Meola and McLaughlin.

He recorded around 15 albums in a duo with great flamenco singer Camaron de la Isla. Flamenco singing is pretty much an acquired taste, so better first check some youtube clips, if you happen to like it then Canastera or Arte Y Majestad would be good starting points.

Indeedie, I am currently playing Suedehead on repeat - it is addicting, more so than any Smiths song.

That's the only M album I know — haven't heard it in a few years, should revisit it soon (after I finish my King Crimson kick ).

I have decided to give them all a prolonged try, especially the later ones. I figure that anyone with an ego as big as him would feel obliged to only put his name on good stuff.

And one heck of a kick that is!

Never underestimate the power of bad taste.

Yes — I'm looking forward to being acquainted with the albums I don't really know: Namely, the albums between the first and Larks' Tongues and the ones after Starless and Bible Black.

total time: 31'42

Haven't been around much for reasons explained in another thread (clicking on NEW in this thread took me to page 315), but I sure remember that album. Haven't played it for years but I used to blast that when I wanted to piss people off, usually my parents (this being when I was in high school). The side-long first track had a theme that consisted of one bar repeated over and over and over and over (albeit with a 'release' that did exactly that), then some solos and then a recap of that same one-measure theme repeated ad nauseum. I think half the playing time was that one measure. And then, when it finally finally ends, you get another take! It probably gelled with teenage angst more than it would with my mid-age reason, but I still get that infectious theme stuck in my head despite not having heard it in a good 20 years.
