Captain Beefheart And His Magic Band -Safe As Milk, lp Reedició en stereo Mix Buddah

Grup de Rock & Blues ,Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band signan per A & M records en 1966.
Molts grups tocaban un pop comercial per promocionar als singles a las emisoras de radio, pro aquest disc es diferent, blu
es experimental,psicodelic ,es una obra de art.

Van Vliet,(Captain Beefheart) cantant i amic de Frank Zappa,edita aquest disc el mateix any que “Freak Out”,inspirat amb als musics del delta blues,com Howlin Wolf.També hi son Ry Cooder a la guitarra i Alex St. Clair l´ baix, i a las percusions,John French,tocan ritmes Africans.

 

 

“Plastic Factory”,amb un increible solo de guitarra blues,un dels millors que he escoltat,i la harmónica del Captain l´ acompanya amb un ritme perfecte.
“Zig Zag Wanderer”,”Call on Me”,i “Yellow Brick Road” son altres temas on destaca la guitarra,i ancara hi han altres temas de blues impresionants,com “Electricity” i “Abba Zaba.”

 

 

Performers:
Don Van Vliet: lead vocals, harmonica, bass marimba
Alex St. Clair Snouffer: guitar
Jerry Handley: bass guitar
Ry Cooder: guitar; bass on 8 & 11
John French: drums, percussion

 

Reedició vintage USA dels 70´s.

En aquesta versió Stereo Mix,surt un canal amb la veu i als ritmes de la percussió amb més volumen,logran un efecte molt més psicodélic.

Various- Take Your Headphones(74)RE.,Unofficial Release(2007)promo sampler lp

Notes
“Take Your Headphones. Private Use. All Rights Reserved. Cosmic News.”

No more info on cover.

Note:
Surely the oddity in the Kosmische Kuriere saga, this was a very, very limited sampler originally released in 1974, devised to introduce Rolf-Ulrich Kaiser’s troupe to the US Market. Very much like “Gilles Zeitschift”, it took fragments of various Cosmic Couriers records and sessions, editing, mixing and splicing them up with spoken messages weird sound effects and even some classical music into a psychedelic headtrip! For sure, one of the most obscure and sought after releases from the krautrock scene. Don’t miss it! Limited to 300 vinyl copies only with handmade cover (including wax seal!) and also includes a 50 X 70 colour poster.. “

Wim Mertens Ensemble a la Estació de Perpinyá,TVE (1987)

Wim Mertens compositor de vanguardia,barreja el Minimalisme,amb la música de camara.

Als seus inicis,forma el grup Soft Verdict,i edita ”At Home”(81),”Vergessen”(82),i “Struggle for pleasure”(83)

Quan deixa als Soft Verdict,evoluciona cap a un estil Minimalista,pro amb un tó més melodic.

Durant aquests temps, va editar

 “Close cover”(1983),”Whisper Me”(1985),”Lir”(1985),i “Educes Me”(1986).

A les seves composicions,li dona molta importancia al tractament de la veu,que interpreta amb veu de contratenor,acompanyat amb una Ensemble que toca música mediaval,amb coros clásics.Gaudeix cantant quan interpreta música.

Wim Mertens,actua amb piano i la seva veu en solitari,o amb un grup de ensemble.

Quan toca amb la Ensemble,la música es escrita en partitura,i molt dificil de interpretar per als coristas tal com ell vol.Traballa amb el Coro de la Radio i Televisió Belga,son 10 personas i canvia constantment de músics,per evolucionar cap a un estil que més l´ agrada al compositor.

Mertens,compositor de Flandes,rep una important acollida,quan actua al nostre pais.

Aquest concert en directe,va ser editat amb una cinta de video VHS,i hi há un cert desacoblament del video amb el audio.Així dons,edité també l´áudio sols,per si és millor.

On those earlies times with Boys Next Door,and Birthay Party,Nick Cave was acting on scene,like a possesed soul,it seems he mades a pacte with the devil.

While he was an heroin addict,it was a very dificult thing to substain an addiction.It just shows the desperation about been a junkie,and the issues than carries.

The post-punk music was great,played with good guitar musicians like Rowland S. Howard and Nick Harvey,and recorded memorable albums as Boys Next Door LP,and Birthay Party“Prayers on fire” and “Junk Yard”.

The Boys Next Door-Hee Haw 12″ Missing Link,Australia (1983),12” in WAV 16 bits

Living in London,he was a friend of the Fall,and The Pop Group.

When drugs just gone,asked to Nick Harvey,if they should start to made a new band,The Bad Seeds .

He starts to play the piano,and sing good bluesy melodies,also writes a book,”And the ass saw the angel”

Meets with the artistic society in Berlin,the nightlife scene,and mades good friends and collaborators like Christian Emmerich,of Die Haut.
