#NowPlaying I love the music on this. BEAT at Hammersmith was definitely my gig of the year, to date.

Absolutely magnificent, have a blu-ray reissue of this one. Just looks amazing all these years on

Watched last night, not the usual Friday night cheery fare. Incredibly vivid documentary about obsession really and where it leads … and not always to glory. Compelling and at times difficult watch.

Way home from work, one I haven’t played for decades, had this, and totally forgotten about it. Trip down memory lane … Edgar Froese and ‘Pinnacles’ (1983, Tidal).

040

And … this one for the way to work tunes today. Magnificent, Soft Ffog’s debut album, all sorts of lovely here. A fusion band well worth investing time in softffog.bandcamp.com/album/soft-f...

After all the talk yesterday, influenced myself into playing ‘Le Parc’ (1985, Tidal) for the morning dog walk. Lovely Tangerine Dream release. Always loved this period. Takes me right back to that time so it does!

Last night, back into the 2025 Soft Ffog album ‘Focus’ (CD). Just absolutely superb putting the rock right into the jazz format with this, a great follow up to their debut album. Love this band and eagerly awaiting to see what and where they might go next …

2110

Longer binge today, still plenty to hear, Frank Zappa, ‘Waka/Wazoo’ (2022, Tidal). Just fantastic, real stack of quality recordings from a great FZ era.

Totally carelessly forgot the 40th anniversary of this remarkable TD album (June 1986). Absolutely wonderful, another of those albums owned on all formats at one time or another. I liked ‘Le Parc’, some didn’t, but this one is even better … ‘Underwater Sunlight’

Need to get myself up and into the wealth of live material from around this time, so enjoyed this, KC 'Penn State University, 1974' (CD). Released earlier this year (I think), and (I think) part of the Road to Red box (I don't have that one), and good to have! Audio is pretty decent

So, it’s maybe a bit risqué for Bluesky, but here goes with the nudity … Eberhard Weber’s Colours band with ‘Little Movements’ (1980, CD). Love this

Just arrived, CD version of Downes Braide Association’s ‘Trauma’, new release. They always do a nice job with the package, excellent art work, photos, and a proper booklet to accompany. Lovely album 😎 lush prog/pop

Crushing headache this morning, so had to take some medicine for it ... some gently sonic soothing with Roberto and 'Music for Quiet Moments' (Discs 3/4). Nice tonic

Just been dipping into this one, Waka/Wazoo box (Tidal). Missed the boat which was daft as this is my fave Zappa period. So far, entranced at times, and need to spend more time getting familiar with it. Played ‘Shut Up …’ last night and boy that was satisfying …

2160

Remember my mate Gogs buying this when it first appeared in 3 disc format early 80s. This and ‘Sheik Yer Bouti’ was my way in. Now have the Rykodisc 3CD box released in the 90s. Magnificent. Frank Zappa, ‘Shut Up and Play Yer Guitar’ (1981)

#influenced @mobydick2010.bsky.social playing a bit of UFO this last week. Turning the clock back to 1981, and what.an.album this is. Tonka Chapman could certainly play, feels like the previous album was really just a warm up interlude to this beast. STILL sounds absolutely massive and amazing 🤩

361

A real fave around these parts, the wonderful sax and compositions of Nubya Garcia, and ‘Source’ (2020, CD). The Remix ‘We Move’ album is also worth checking out. There’s an unmistakable blend of UK, Afro-Caribbean and Latin influences here. Quite beautifully blended 😎

290

Time for some QOTSA, ‘In Times New Roman’ (2023, CD). Dark album, but very compelling listening. Looking forward to the new release coming soon …

060

Now up, Blackfield ‘V’ (2017, CD). Hard to believe it’s only a few months before this one turns 10. Good grief. Fantastic late entry into the Blackfield catalogue. To me, as good as anything that went before

070

More than just a streamer … hadn’t occurred to me to connect my SMSL CD player into this to use it’s DAC and more powerful headphone amp 🙄. So, one Toslink cable later, voila, some seriously good sound. Richer, deeper than the CD player alone. Once I get a modern TV, could even use the HDMI Arc …

#MusicHistory On this day, 1976, Stevie Wonder released his 18th album, Songs in the Key of Life, an extraordinary double record. The album’s influence is almost impossible to measure. Hip-hop, modern R&B & generations of musicians that followed all drew from the musical world Stevie created here.

Time for some heavenly Holdsworth, and it’s ’Secrets’ (1989, DL). Just a superb album, some of those solos/runs are just gobsmacking. Some great writing here benefits this album too. 😎✅

1181

These lads just seem to get better and better … All Them Witches and ‘House of Mirrors’ (2026, DL). Raucous and foot-tapping at the same time, heavy edged blues/rock bonanza 😎

031

Time for some John Zorn and the Chaos Magick series, and my favourite, ‘Through the Looking Glass’ (2025, DL). Chaos and magick galore. Love this. Need to get more of this series, an superb off-shoot of the Simulacram Project. 😎
