itsbillyfrazier Posted February 15, 2023 Posted February 15, 2023 Alan Parsons worked as a sound engineer on both "Abbey Road" and "Dark Side Of The Moon"...not bad albums to have on your CV. This track under his own name was pretty catchy too IMO.

There was also one Norman "Hurricane" Smith, a recording engineer who worked on early Floyd and Beatles records (including Rubber Soul, one of my faves). He released "Oh Babe, What Would You Say?" in 1972. There was this girl see, and I was young and I'll never forget it .... 1

Yeah I remember reading about Norman from his early Floyd work... oh and from that Aston Villa melody! (Theme From an Unmade Silent Movie ) Oh Babe, What Would You Say? is a really nice tune, but y'know I'm just not a fan of Normans singing voice at all (Sorry, not looking to insult one of your pleasant memory songs...). Maybe some else should look to cover it...someone like Frazier maybe? ?? 3 1
ST_Catchov Posted February 20, 2023 Posted February 20, 2023 I've always been intrigued by the power of marketing and payola. It is the bedrock of capitalism yes, yet transcends all forms of political governance across nations worldwide. This is but one example of how effective it truly is. As the old proverb says "you can sell anything to a schmuck already." 1 1

As the old proverb says "you can sell anything to a schmuck already." Surprised that I've never heard of this guy given he has sold over 75 million records(at least according to Wiki!) ... more so that I'm partial to listening to jazz when the mood takes me. But as I hastily skipped through this video, I got hazy flashbacks and notions of hearing this record before one upon a time... I think it was on repeat in that rustic backstreet Chinese restaurant in Merida, Venezuela. The one with the stained table clothes and a street cat hoping from empty table to table... giving the proverbial 2 fingers to food hygiene standards and to me and my partner. Or perhaps it was while I flicked through dated and dog-eared magazines containing nothing of interest in a dentists waiting room, feeling anxious about the forthcoming procedure and equally about the post-op bill... Or maybe it was that time I mistakenly chose the elevator over the stairs and endured that uncomfortable ride of strangers pressed too close into my personal space, feeling foul breath on my neck , all while praying to any God that would listen that nobody would fart in the meantime... Pretty sure this muzak seeped into one or all of these rather forgettable experiences. Anyway, thanks for sharing Catchov... you just reawakened the "ick" that each of these moments stirred up... The power of music eh?...even sh1t music has some power . ? 1

ST_Catchov Posted February 21, 2023 Posted February 21, 2023 I do like acoustic guitar but no-one likes it when I play it. Go figure. So I kick 'em out and retreat to my lonely bedroom and fantasise about Peggy Lee. SAD! 1
Bonnot Posted February 21, 2023 Posted February 21, 2023 Thanks for Peggy Lee, while listening her I found this amazing mix of the 40's, on a Benny Goodman Best records.........? 2
ST_Catchov Posted February 22, 2023 Posted February 22, 2023 @Bonnotyou are French oui? Anyway, the "Quintette du Hot Club de France" was a very hot ensemble when you is talkin' jazz. Django still blows my mind! And Stephane was no slouch on the fiddle!

Thanks for reminding Django and Stephane, a time when Jazz ( and specially New Orleans ) known a second life in France, when declining in the US..... Stephane lived almost 100 years and played, up to Bossa Nova and other different rhythm ! Another good band was around Bechet and Luter in the 50's : Edited February 22, 2023 by Bonnot 1

343KKT_Kintaro Posted February 27, 2023 Posted February 27, 2023 Trance is not my cup of tea, but I must admit there's something here that is... dunno... appealing...
Jaws2002 Posted February 28, 2023 Posted February 28, 2023 (edited) It's an acquired taste. It's one of those things that if you were not exposed to it in your youth/party years, it's hard to get into. I didn't really have a preferred style of music until I discovered techno. I was bouncing around from Rock to disco, to euro dance, to old hip-hop. After Techno, House, Trance and Acid came naturally. And now....something completely different. Edited February 28, 2023 by Jaws2002 1
343KKT_Kintaro Posted February 28, 2023 Posted February 28, 2023 Funny that use of the car alarm... but the previous one still is excessively "beating". You may have heard of the Spanish "makina" and "bakalo" techno musics. I was living in Spain at the time and was one of those who never jumped into it... Chimo Bayo was one of the "makina" kings:

Chimo Bayo was one of the "makina" kings: Actually the first proper techno music I got was from Barcelona. I was back in Romania, I think it was 1993 or 1994. Just returned from a work contract in Germany, and one of my friends, that moved to Barcelona, came back to visit his parents. He introduced me to something called "techno industrial" . Very similar with the one you posted. I clicked with my mushy young brain. ? 1
343KKT_Kintaro Posted February 28, 2023 Posted February 28, 2023 Interesting. We were living in the same area of Spain back in these days, early 1990s. I think that what the Spanish people call "techno industrial" (yep, in Engih this is... industrial techno music, or something similar, big deal) is a British thing. Not sure though. Whatever. Paco Pil, one of those Spanish superlative geniuses, invented the "techno ska". Demonstration ("Johnny Techno Ska", 1994): 1
Jaws2002 Posted February 28, 2023 Posted February 28, 2023 (edited) It's funny because many of the tracks I used to listen to sounded very similar, just with the techno beat. This particular piece, in this collection is one of the first techno tracks i heard: Psycho-Loco eh? ? Edited February 28, 2023 by Jaws2002

itsbillyfrazier Posted February 28, 2023 Posted February 28, 2023 @SYN_Ricky - Nice message... no doubt a nod to the original "Love is the message" in a new age jazz sort of way. But as Christopher Lambert in the The Highlander says "There can be only one". MFSB/Salsoul Orchestra's "Love is the message" is the one true "Love is the message" (At least for me!) ...especially the Danny Krivit re-edit. (Ok so there's more than one! ) MFSB & Salsoul Orchestra at their very finest... c. 1973 i think, not sure what year Mr K did the re-edit. Have it in my vinyl collection but too lazy to dig it out! Anyway, if you can't tap your foot to this, well it must be broken! 2
Dogbert1953 Posted February 28, 2023 Posted February 28, 2023 (edited) For the last month, i have listened to Led Zep - Physical Graffiti constantly. My neighbours love me ? ? Edited February 28, 2023 by Dogbert1953 2 1
itsbillyfrazier Posted March 6, 2023 Posted March 6, 2023 Some seriously underrated easy listening 70's pop music.... Alessi Brothers with their amazing harmonies... "Seabird" is a fckin classic imo (1977). (1977) Gilbert O'Sullivans depressing but beautifully executed ballad "Alone again(Naturally)" (1972)
ST_Catchov Posted March 6, 2023 Posted March 6, 2023 (edited) 1972 was a good year for me personally, for many reasons, but here's summat a little bit funky from a little bit later .... Edited March 6, 2023 by ST_Catchov 1
itsbillyfrazier Posted March 6, 2023 Posted March 6, 2023 This gives me Summer vibes in early Spring...Think I'm lacking in Vitamin D... bring on the sunny weather! Miami Horror - Leila (Poolside Remix) - 2017
