dismissed the VU pioneer and producer of Marble Index and Desertshore? why?

man would be a goat even if Venus In Furs is the only thing he ever contributed to

that reminds me its finally time to check out Nico's ..... The End

Because I assumed his approach to music was antithetical to what I get out of it. He’s produced some work that just feels antagonistic to me. Even little things like how he actively told the band Squeeze on their first record to make the songs less appealing. I respect White Light/White Heat, but I still don’t connect with much of it. Doug Yule’s contributions are more my speed. Even some of Lou Reed’s most earnest and beautiful moments were side eyed by Cale at the time. Paris 1919 proved to me he was as emotionally sincere, if not more so than Reed and Yule.

Maybe the most devastating singer/songwriter track of the year.

“Life seems so rosy in the cradle
But I'll be a friend, I'll tell you what's in store. There's nothing at the end of the rainbow. There's nothing to grow up for anymore”

Edit: I just discovered Elvis Costello did a cover of it.

This one as well. These songs more so capture the actual expected feelings of a divorce than anything on their actual divorce album a decade later.

I’m attempting Genesis again…

Hairless Heart transitioning into this is so good.

real

do you like solo Peter Gabriel?

indonesian rock banger. lead guitar is great

the bizarre greatness from Magma continues

some less fusion-y 1974 jazz. lot of the goats from the postbop generation still going strong. spiritual jazz movement probably in its peak still

Of course. He’s a genius.

i dont have as much fusion from this year as i was expecting tbh

Queued several of these up and was howling at the look cartoon Herbie is giving

Oh lord

whats the matter

they also got another 1974 album Ẁurdah Ïtah a.k.a. Tristan et Iseult
that was originally released as a Christian Vander soundtrack album but it became considered part of the true Magma canon. i havent heard yet

A few more Steve Harley tracks from this year worth checking out. It’s a really interesting album.

this demo version of Forever Young

after a couple years in the wilderness, that goat is back to prove Knockin On Heavens Door wasnt a fluke and that he is indeed back and just getting warmed up for next year

hm yeah Eno has some iffy takes when producing other bands as well... trying to talk Tina Weymouth out of releasing Genius Of Love in such accessible form

have you heard Cales production on Nico's album from this year? very potent apparently :ohno:

I haven’t, but I’m definitely curious.

Going, Going, Gone is a big favorite of mine.

the rest of my physicals for this year

I have Sparks - Kimono House around here somewhere too

Deep Purple with another banger

Also, Residents debuted with Meet The Residents.
