Well I'm now offended that anyone could fail to recognize iconic Monty Python quotes but I'm not sure deleting any posts will repair this offensive act. I will have to listen to music and try to repress yet another tragic life incident.
What unknown musical artist would you like to share with your fellow audiophiles?
When it comes to music, about half of my friends are "collectors" and the other half are true audiophiles. It seems the collectors are so obsessed with the size of their collections, that they leave no room in their budget for quality audio equipment. I think the audiophiles, with their focus on quality over quantity, are the ones with their priorities straight. So, unless you are on an unlimited budget, I'm guessing that audiophiles are more selective in their musical purchases. That being the case, I'm curious about what "buried treasures" have you been able to find? Thanks for responding and I look forward to discovering some good music, based on your suggestions.
I'll lead off with the band Crack The Sky, most notably their first two albums: "Crack The Sky" (1975) and "Animal Notes" (1976). I would describe them as a cross between Be Bop Deluxe and Frank Zappa. Their music is unique and totally unmistakable with anyone else. Choice cuts from the debut album are: "Ice;" She's a Dancer;" "Mind Baby" & "Sleep." Choice cuts from Animal Notes are: "Animal Skins;" "Wet Teenager;" Virgin....No" & "Maybe I Can Fool Everybody."

Touché three_easy_payments. Nice comeback. One thing though - my statements about not recognizing Monty Python was in two parts. The first was my own lamenting that as we (I) get older, it’s a bit sad to keep experiencing more and more people who, understandably as time passes, have no clue about things that may have been popular in my generation. That hits me regularly at work when I’ll say something while a song is playing like “Oh, that’s the Average White Band” - to which a more and more common reply will be: “Who?” The second reference was more specific. One would think that my two Monty Python quotes, if not taken in context, would also have been deleted as offensive. So that made me wonder if the moderator Googled them or not. N80’s deleted response was a quote by John Cleese from Monty Python. So I was addressing what I saw as a possible inconsistency. Yeah, those repressive Audiogon life incidents are a b#@tch aren’t they? Enjoy the music! |
Vuyo Sotashe. Saw him in concert with the Jazz at the Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis last week. Incredible vocalist. http://www.vuyosotashe.com |
David Hykes and The Harmonic Choir. Album, "Hearing Solar Winds" (1 of the cuts is played in link below). If you can imagine Tuvan throat-singing adapted to droning chant in highly reverberant spaces...well, you just have to hear it. If you like trance or ambient anything, this music will knock you flat. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4pVASwvvMk |
