Richard Thompson - Across A Crowded Room

Never mind cocaine, if there's one thing that guitarists in the eighties couldn't get enough of it's the chorus pedal. From New Years Day 1990 to New Year Eve 1999, seemingly no-one ever said, "Is that too much chorus pedal, do you think?"

This album's smothered in it. Got to say, I'm starting to love it again.

A very young Martyn on just his second album. The guitar work on this album is something else.

Horslips - Dancehall Sweethearts

I finally managed to go to Lenny's Records in Adelaide today. I only bought records from the British Folk section. Including this...definitely not British...album.

I've been meaning to get some Horslips on my shelves for a while. This is their third album, from 1974. A mixture of Irish folk and proggy seventies rock. Cool.

The cover tells us, 'Believe it or not these tracks have traditional airs concealed about their persons.' Apparently, the album is based on the travels of an 18th Century blind harper. The record company made them come up with a more contemporary title and cover to hide this fact.

I-Roy - Crucial Cuts

Nothing dates this 1983 compilation as much as the word Crucial in the title. Its days as a hyperbolic adjective have long passed. You have to say it in Delbert Wilkins' voice. Crucial. Now you try it. Crucial.

A compilation of the mighty I-Roy's seventies work, pressed on possibly the shittiest vinyl in existence.

I picked this up in a little second hand record shop in Whitechapel Road in the late 80s.

I'm going to start bringing the word crucial back into use.

Roni Size & Reprazent - New Forms

This came out just four months before our son was born. He had terrible cholic and screamed the house down for at least the first three months of his life. One of the only ways to get him to settle was to play him this. Loud.

As such, it’s an album that comes with such a high emotional load for me, it's now hard to be objective about it.

I haven’t actually sat and listened to it for decades until now. Man, it’s good. So good.
Easily in my top ten albums of all time.

The sticker on the front says it's a Mercury Music Prize nominee - it went on to win it. I can remember the Radio 4 morning news people trying to explain to listeners what Jungle was. One of them described it as the sound of cutlery in a tumble drier. I like that.

For me, this album also marks the transition from Jungle to DrumNBass.

Severed Heads • Come Visit The Big Bigot

Nice cheap bin find and a real nostalgic pick for me. Got this when it was new. Always tried to convince people that loved New Order that this was the better version of the musical idea. Never had much success convincing skeptics, but I still hold to the position.

I've been looking for an intersection between Metal and Afrocuban sounds for ages. Puerto Rican band Puya is the closest I've gotten so far. Not bad.

Any tips on similar fusion projects are welcome.

Good news on the Shortcuts front: I was awakened this morning by the sound of Earth, Wind, and Fire asking “Do you remember the 21st night of September?” as my wake-up Shortcut is supposed to do on September 21st. Now, if only trust the volume element to run smoothly. 😕

Decided to actually try out the vinyl after saving it from water damage and after a spin in the Humminguru it's perfect. Actually all the damage has been fixed by keeping it under pressure in the shelf for a few days. The bonus 12" is the best part.

Rose Royce - Car Wash: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

I’ve never seen Car Wash. I’ve always wanted to. I remember my older sister going to see this at the pictures and buying the album, so I was quite familiar with it before I picked it up second hand years later.

This album has some whopping hits on it, ranging from big slabs of funky disco to soulful, lush ballads. Giving it a re-listen, I was struck by the nearly 11-minute hypno-funk of Sunrise. Years ahead of the game.

What really dates this album though is the pressing of sides 1 and 3 on one disc and 2 and 4 on the other. This, if you recall was because turntables used to have automatic record stackers, so you could play the album in sequence.

Ojos de Brujo - Techarí

Probably my favourite band of the early 2000s. Loved 'em.

This was their (difficult) third album. It is a CD/CD-Rom digipack with pages and pages of art and lyrics. In hindsight, they were struggling to live up to the utter brilliance of Barí. There are, however, some really great moments to be had here.

Alice Coltrane - Journey in Satchidananda
Last night we watched the Criterion edition of Akira Kurosawa’s 1990 film Dreams. My partner, being an avid Kurosawa fan, introduced me to his work when we were dating. I remember watching this film years ago but my memory was patchy (like a dream eh). Kurosawa doesn’t hold back – I’ll make the most beautiful scene of flowers and a rainbow with a little boy needing to gut his stomach for the fox spirits to make amends for childhood curiosity. The peach orchard scene is one of the most stunning pieces of cinema. Harrowing PTSD war flashbacks /survivor guilt and the final scene about humanity, capitalism and nature are as relevant today as it was then.
I woke up this morning still thinking about the film. So I put this on, which seemed perfectly fitting following Dreams, with it’s own themes of loss, transcendence and overall hazy vibe.

This is one of my favourite weekend morning coffee records.

Weather Report - I Sing The Body Electric

I opened up the lid of my CD player this week and gave the laser a little clean with some rubbing alcohol on a cotton bud. (You wouldn't believe the shite that gets inside a CD player over 30-odd years. It's pretty amazing.) It plays again now. So it's back to the CDs.

It was my birthday in 2009, if I remember correctly. We'd recently moved into this house, a short walk from Mr V's record shop (still mainly CDs in those days), and I thought I'd treat myself (22 fucking dollars!!). I vividly remember playing this in my car on the drive to work and thinking,"Ooh, this is going to take some getting into."

This is (largely) Zawinul and Shorter going boonta. If that's your thing, then this is for you.

My nearly 3 year old granddaughter said it was "Noise".
