Not your conventional album by lounge great Les Baxter, but definately funky, and contains serveral variations on the track "Hogin' Machine," which has been featured on Breaks Compilation by everyone in the business. Enjoy this. Back soon. Peace.
Les Baxter "Hell's Belles OST" (1969)
Air "The Virgin Suicides Live Bootleg" (20??)
Okay, now this one's been lost, and found, then re-lost again, and found, and eq'd, and re-eq'd a million times over. This particular bootleg is the reason why I like "Air" and this is the only copy that I can seem to find anywhere. So please, please, please you have any knowledge of a better, more legit quality copy available anywhere, don't be shy, and let me know. Until then, feast on the breaks, bass-lines, and nice keys & synth work that can only be presented by "Air" in their live incarnation. Enjoy. Back soon. Peace!!!
Air "The Virgin Suicides OST" (2000)
Forgot how great this album was... Heavily inspired Adrian Younge in the completion of his "Venice Dawn" album, posted right below. "Air" is great for there usage of vintage synths, as well as compostion, but tends to stray away from there overall funky style on most outings, but not here. For more by these guys check out Mood Swings blog who has been so kind as to post Air's complete discography. Props to him for making me remember how dope this album was. Thanks. Back soon. Peace.
Patchwork Vol. 20 (Musique Dramatique) - 19??
Much respect to Cosmo\'s Crate for putting this one up for us. It's a hella expensive, and hella rare piece of vinyl, and I thought it very appropriate to share with you folks since we're on the tip of library. Check it out, and stop by Cosmo's for more rare goodness. Back soon. Peace!
Ennio Morricone "Citta Violenta" (1970)
"A lost treasure from the legendary Ennio Morricone -- a soundtrack written for a crime film starring Charlie Bronson & Telly Savalas, and handled with all the spare subtlety of his best work! Bruno Nicolai's directing the orchestra on this one -- and isolated instruments include electric harpsichord and woodwinds that drift along nicely in the tunes -- mixed with some harder arrangements on a few of the album's more driving cuts." - courtesy of Dusty Groove America.
songs from "The April Orchestra " LP series...
Figured since we're on that tip already, might as well keep it going. These LP's are great... The series features tons of great Composers like Bruno Nicolai, to Ennio Morricone himself. Great, dark, soundtracky vibes, and pure mood music. Gathered these few from tons of different sources wink-wink so enjoy them. Back soon. Peace!
AJ's Secrets Vol. 1
I been laggin', I know! These are some tracks that a very close friend of mine put together for me a while ago, and I thought everyone out there deserved to get there hands on them. It's geared more towards that dark, soundtracky-vibe, but still very sick in terms of musical composition. Enjoy, and I'll be back soon... I promise...
Jackie Barnett Presents... Sidney Poitier "Journeys Inside the Mind, The Dialogues of Plato" (1970)
http://rapidshare.com/files/28590358/Plato.zip First of all, huge thanx to the "Killer Grove Music Library" for turning me on to this... He posted one of the tracks off this album, and I just couldn't help but track it down. Took me a while, but I finally got my hands on it. It's hard to know whose name to put on the title line, because some many gents had there hands in on the production of this album. Full title is: Jackie Barnett Presents... Sidney Poitier Journeys Inside the Mind "The Dialogues of Plato," The Music of Fred Katz. Let me know who you prefer...
Over all, I love this album. From what I can gather, it was released in 1970, but once you hear it, it sounds like something straight out of the psychodelic sixties. Reminds me a little bit of "Sing Me A Song of Songmy" by Ilhan Mimaroglu & Freddie Hubbard, but not as far out on the edge of insanity and experimentation as that on is. For those of you who haven't heard that one, it's definately an album worth checking out, as well as this one. "Dialogues of Plato" is heavy on the conventional jazz tip, as well as musicianship, but you can't help but think what this album would sound llike with out Sidney Poitier amazing voice speaking over every track. Enjoy, folks. Until next time.
