Channeling a fine post from @Vincent. Not everyday listening, but in the right mood I love it. I will be playing Hater Bingo – “souless technique”, “I prefer the one note guitar solo on the first Buzzcocks single” “no tune”, “you can’t dance to it” etc.
Here’s Aldy, as the cognoscenti know him.
Pile in.
Some Billy C for ya. I avoided Spectrum cos everyone knows that. Crosswinds is also a fine album. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-b_h8i9eWU&index=6&list=RDCvPAZlRl0m8
Brace yourselves. I’m tired now, but have some choice cuts for tomorrow…
Here’s one I don’t play as often as I should.
(Brand X – Born Ugly)
A warm Spring day. Diving around to music like this can make Hinkley seem like LA
Have you got The Crossing? That’s one of the best sounding albums ever.
Always had you as a Holdsworth man……

Always found Holdsworth just a bit too widdly and technical.
Flash, but without Jeff Beck’s soulfulness. Which leads straight to this, which is definitely not driving music. Unless your driving style is Fast and Dangerous.

There’s a docco about Beck on Beeb 4 on Friday.
Constipated Ducks may well be in attendance,
Ta for the tip. One of my favourite music DVDs is the Beckster at Ronnie’s with Tal Wilkenfeld, Jason Rebello and Vinnie Colaiuta. Stonking!
Always liked this clip
He seems to be holding that guitar in a really uncomfortable way.
Dude, fusion ain’t no ergonomics!
About the third time I’ve posted this. Apology? Bite me.

He’s called Alphonse and he’s been tailored by Modern Poove of Carnaby Street. what more do you want?
Thanks for posting that. I had the album as a callow teenage but lost track of it. Fortunately it’s available digitally (legally, honest).
In the UK the excellent RPM label issued it on CD in the early 90s. Their roster was brilliantly random. Do I still have mine? Haven’t a scoobies.
I’m a huge Soft Machine fan and I also adore the two-note guitar solo on Buzzcocks Boredom. Is that allowed?
According to people who make music documentaries… you simply don’t exist.
Sorry.
Of course, so do I! I was more teasing the polarisers who always feel the need to drop a soupçon of hate into a thread. Everything’s good if you like it.
Lydian Collective.
(Equinox)
Snarky Puppy.
(Lingus (We Like It Here))
Oh good, another chance to post this. In fact I love jazzrock and those great post-Miles albums that appeared around 1974/5, before the “industry” smelled money and the wave of jazzrock into disco was forced on everybody and everything, and well, we know what happens next.. Rinse and repeat.
Here’s Ponty
And your own beloved Little Feat dipped a toe or two in as well, Twang. I saw one of their last Lowell gigs (Essen Rockpalast 1977) and he obviously didn’t approve, leaving the stage for the duration of the number. Me? I think it’s really good.
