    Was jazz-fusion a dead end music genre?

    My favorite from Red is probably 'Starless' which has vocals that push it into a somewhat light rock territory that I wish they'd explored more. It would have been great if they could have alternated between stuff like Red and more light, Camel style prog. Are there more trascription tales...

    Oh.. it's a SF novel. Probably not a very useful reference but it's what the album makes me think of. It's about these clouds of machines.

    I think that's actually something else he did. This one's on I & Ear and has a pyramid on the front. It's sorta like the other one but it's without drums and it's more repetitive and trancey.

    I'm really into these Lansing-Dreiden guys right now. A Sectioned Beam is really impressive. They kind of capture the mid/late 80s synthy haze of bands like Tears For Fears but push it a bit looser and throw in all sorts of other strange elements (like metal sometimes). They're a bit like...

    I'm sure you must have heard the album Red, but what did you think of the live one USA??

    Was jazz-fusion a dead end music genre?

    Talking of metal being prog, has anyone heard Ocrilim's album "Anoint"? It's a solo disc from the guitar player from Orthrelm. Definitely a strange one!

    Badly Recorded Music

    Darkthrone and a lot of the early black metal stuff certainly deserves mention here.

    I don't know. Sometimes it really defies any kind of logic and I assume it's purely the product of a program concered with getting urls into inboxes without hitting a spam filter and with no other concerns factoring in. I mean there are ones where the headline completely contradicts the...

    I was a big fan of the märried l@dies ones. For a while they were all about a colonel and read a bit like an adventure novel in the midst of the randomness.

    I'd be interested to hear what you make of the Beyonce, particularily Freakum Dress after reading your comments about Ring The Alarm. It's the song I find I go back to most but I can't decide what I think of it yet to be honest other than I'm impressed by how abrasive and uncomfortable it is...

    1970s LA Rarities

    I don't know if they are rarities but have you heard any of the Shawn Philips records? It's been a while since I played it but I remember thinking this one where he's dressed in black on the cover (looking like he's out of El Topo maybe) was pretty good. The one before or maybe after is...

    Advance Wars: Dual Strike

    Under The Knife They've just re-released Trauma Center too, a pretty great sf surgery title on the DS where you try to stop a mutating plague caused by genetic engineering. It was the most fun I had mechanics wise on the system and you get to do great stuff like picking glass out of people's...
