Here you go, most of the albums are right here. Best to start chronologically, beginning with Addio pola and working your way through to about the fortieth one. 😁

Jason Mendoza said:(...) plenty of shock value in the music (...) (...) a somewhat diluted emotional release (isn't that the point of all music?)

Wanderer, regardless of whether this is the right moment—or if you're just caught off guard—I have a question for you: have you ever actually listened to Francesca Blašković?

It bugs me, honestly—this lazy habit of copy-pasting from Discogs and turning "the poet's death" into "The Poet's Death." It’s not the same thing. The man who captured that Southern melancholy exactly as it lived wasn't singing about "Death" as a concept; he was singing about the eternal, unavoidable transformation of matter. He saw poetry in the process itself. We might call it death, or we might call it something else entirely, depending on how much poetry—in the form of words or some other kind of substance—we carry within us.

And this comes from someone posting here who doesn't even consider singer-songwriter stuff to be a primary musical interest, let alone someone who connects with Uncle Bebić's specific poetic style. Still, I remember having the Oya noya record spinning on my turntable about twenty years ago. I loved it and was repelled by it at the exact same time. Nothing more, nothing less.

@analogbear40/">@@analogbear40 - thanks, really appreciate it.

If you've got to do it, you've got to do it.

23 Skidoo - urban Gamelan (1984)

urban Gamelan

The Turnbull brothers and their crew blended funk, dub, and a heavy dose of raw percussion—then tossed the whole thing over an open flame to serve up this revitalizing forty-minute feast.

Dennis Hall41 said:(...) though even this one holds its own.

Oh, absolutely. Skadden and the rest were killing it back then.

So there it is. Two albums from the same year pulled straight from the archives, which leaves me wondering: are we looking at contemporary classical music or just some percussive madness?

Ha! Just caught a glitch during a 16/44.1 playback CRCLNT14[152.97](pzlmnscnc mx). Hopefully there are more. Glitches. Sounds like some obscure Russian surname.

Dennis Hall41 said:(...) even if I have at least four or five albums worth my vote.

Surely Taylor Swift isn't part of that group?

Yeah, Kenneth Price6, it’s definitely worth looking into (npst.416f.c#tSDxz).

Grrr. It’s a shame you had to go and call out my tracklist—I actually had it all ready to go. I Care..., paired with SAWv.II which I played on an endless loop back in '97/'98. &%$#@!}^)

Fateh Ali Khan - Qawwal & party - Shahbaaz (1991)

qawwali

Ecstatic spiritual music. Crank it up loud—you need to hear the Voice.

Stars of The Lid - The Tired Sounds of Stars of The Lid (2001)

drone-heavy ambient

Tell your mother you love her. Even if you've already said it once.

Just an observation.

Dennis Hall41 said:(...) back in the 70s or 80s (...)

And what about her?



(n.s.o.)

A bit unexpected, if you ask me.

Since my weekend doesn't actually kick off until late this afternoon, I’ll leave you folks in good hands tomorrow with a truly top-tier illustrator.
