Don't know too much about this guy, but I found him after realizing this morning that the Fender Rhodes sound is one of the loveliest sounds ever concocted and subsequently downloading everything Rhodes in sight. Here's a nice list if you're jonesin' like me. "Soft Hands Had the Rain" is hitting the spot today.
Oh, and if you like this stuff, go over to OPIUM HUM and get all the choice Lonnie Liston Smith albums he's been posting over there, and check out this list too.
That's a little misleading, I've been here, grabbing choice albums from you denizens of the 'sphere (shoutout to my wall of fame on the right). And I feel a little guilty about that. So let's see if I can keep this up (my post just below would suggest I've not very good at keeping up, but we'll see) and give back the love. I've got a back-load of music a hard drive wide (mixed metaphors anyone?!?!) and I'm ready to jump back in...
That grid of knobs should tell you something about this one (if you haven't heard it yet, I have a feeling this one's made its rounds). I heard about it from this fun little article about obscure "krautrock" gems. But I would place this more in the musique concrète, electroacoustic, fun with oscillators category (keep your eye out for more of this kind of sophisticated tomfoolery on this blog). Like the dark side of Manhattan Research Inc. enjoy yourself!viel Spaß!
Thanks to the blog I pilfered this from, which should win an award for the craziest/cheesiest-in-a-good-way banner: http://el-sumergible-neuronal.blogspot.com.es/
Yes, I fawn quite a bit over this handsome guy, who used to play a funny-looking bass in... some band (Nirvana!). I'm really asking for it on this post, both from my Paul-hating friends and Paul's legal team (Sorry guys! You say the word and I'll take it down).
Recorded after Paul and Linda's "Ram", a great all-around 70's rock record that stands the test of time I.M.O., they recorded this more laid-back affair (with pretty much the same band - I always thought Denny Laine played on the former record?). Unlike some post-Beatles outings for Paul (his self-titled, "Red Rose Speedway", etc.) and fortunately for us, there's no filler on this one, and quite a few hidden gems. I'm listening to the B side right now and "Some People Never Know" followed by "I Am Your Singer" is pretty hard to top for late-night vibes. Of course, Paul can be accused of tossing off some pretty flimsy material, and I'm a pretty easy sell on him... hmmm, try it for yourself, why don't you? Highly recommended for a quiet dreamy evening.
If you needed any coaxing, here's some ear candy in the form of tasty reggae-fied guitar after this:
BTW, this file has four extra songs not accounted for on the original LP... or on any CD reissue listed on discogs. But hey, you get "Another Day", a lovely little number...
