Woke at around 4:30 and enjoyed a disc of demos by the original Alice Cooper group, recorded from 1968 to 1973 - with some revelations along the way...
A superb download from the Robert Fripp/King Crimson site last night of the song “Indoor Games” from KC’s 3rd album “Lizard” prompted me to relisten to the entire album this morning with fresh ears (it's still available at the moment as a free "hot tickle")...
The download was an early mix with mainly just the bass and drums by Gordon Haskell and Andy McCulloch respectively and a guide guitar take from Mr Fripp...
I’ve had this album for 35 years and last night was yet another revelation...
Listened again too to the “new” Revolutionaries album – very tasty indeed...
Maybe I ought to have a reggae jukebox?
ECM jazz, in the form of Arild Andersen’s “Hyperborean”, soundtracked my into town journey...
On arrival home tonight, a CD from e-bay awaited – a compilation of early to mid 70s works by German fusion band Klaus Doldinger’s Passport – probably best known in the UK for the soundtrack to the film “das Boot”...
It rocks – in a non rock way - and accompanied some tidying and some moving around of wardrobes...
Phone chats with both sisters tonight - Pam is ill and, rarely, was missing a Spurs home game - husband "Tricky Dicky" was off to White Hart Lane with a chum to see his fave team beat the hapless Stoke City...
Salmon on stir fried peppers and beansprouts with chilli jam and soya sauce provided sustenance and was complimented by a lovely bottle of Rose...
Then “Top Gear” and “Oz & James”, before I forewent “Masterchef” to write this whilst listening again to Mr Doldinger’s crazy sounds...
Stumbled across a download of this album I used to have in the mid 70s - the opening track "Krautrock" is 12 minutes of pure delight...
Ended the day with an episode of "Big Bang Theory"...
Nice...
Highlight of the Day : New listening...
