Soundage
Well, since we have tickled the underbelly of some decent weather and then got thoroughly drenched in the downpours that followed, I thought I’d post about some of the sounds that have been thrusting their rhythmic way into the listening holes at Thangcentral.
Living Colour – they be back out on the road and prompting a re-listen of the catalog, which reminded me that I bloody love Living Colour. The album ‘Time’s Up’ is just cracking!
Cream/Eric Clapton – ‘Badge’. For some reason I became hooked on this tune and for about a week was listening to it at least five times a day. No idea what was wrong with me but I think it’s safe to say I’ve recovered now.
Stevie Wonder – the five albums he popped out in the mid 70’s feature some amazing songs, amazing grooves and moments of WTF! For example, what is the woofer? And why would it be bad if it got you?
Fish – this is no doubt a hangover from seeing the big man live a few months ago, but either way his recent album has been impressing itself into my head like a thingy on another thingy.
Matt Stevens – ‘Lucid’. Excellent recent solo album from The Fierce And The Dead axe wielder, in parts Fripptastic but always melodic and interesting, it’s one of those instrumental albums that makes you wish more singers would shut up every now and then.
The Pineapple Thief – again another hangover from HRH Prog. Having acquired some more of TPT, I’m a flag waving, card carrying fan and eagerly awaiting new material.
Talking of new stuff, I’m excitedly watching the post box for new albums by Anathema, Mastodon and I’ll admit that I’ve preordered the new Yes album. But let’s not open the can of worms marked ‘Yes rant’ and instead slap on some Living Colour and stare in wonder and envy at Vernon Reid’s live pedal set up.
