Various Artists - Sound of Siam, Vol. 2: Molam & Luk Thung 1970-1982


Military machine, despite all the negative, can sometimes have a positive effect. For example, the arrival of the US Army in Thailand, in the sixties, had a strong influence on local bands, and has mixed American genres like rock, soul, jazz with traditional Thai luk thung style. And the result is timeless music that, today, 50 years later, makes me very happy :)

James Brown - The Payback


Knowing several live albums of James Brown, I realized that I mostly dissatisfied with them. While undoubtedly made of the great songs, I had objections, in the first place, with rarely changing repertoire, and for me never quite clear thing, completely ignoring songs from this fantastic album, which as a whole is definition of hypnotic funk ... You know, maybe the audience expected always the same hits, but I'm not interested in it at all. After all, there is the question of why anyone even record that huge amount of songs,  without giving them a chance to live ..
Basically, pandering to the audience, as for me, Is just tapping in one place and i have no motive to see artist on concert again. But, does that means you do not need to listen to this wild album? On the contrary, it should be consumed in large quantities :)

The Make-Up - Save Yourself

 

The Make-Up is one great rock'n'roll band by all criteria. This LP could stand proudly at any time of rock history. All songs here are classic, performance is raw and wild, arrangements are most detailed and result is nothing less than explosion.
So, besides the obvious quality, why this post? Well, in these "rock is dead" days, anachronistic idea is always welcome. If you ask me, of course :)

Stevie Wonder - Fulfillingness' First Finale


In my salad days i started with heavy metal. Later, i dismiss this genre completely (except Slayer, maybe). I wanted different kind of heaviness, something real. I'll remember Iggy Pop concert, during the nineties, he always had some heavy metal guys for his supporting band. By default they should be dangerous, yes? Motorbikes, tatoos, Satan, leather, etc. They may be dangerous, but old Iggy is nuclear bomb. And during the whole concert, his own band run away from him like rabbits. It was very funny to me. So ..... metal is for girls, not heavy at all :) But, in those metal days i had Stevie Wonder's LP "Talking book" on my wall, from my parents, probably. And, I went in, suspiciously, and discovered a whole new world. From that time i'm into more complex picture and lot of thing is passed through my ears (with very strict criteria, i must say).
And what about today's post? Today's post is simply elegant :)

Parliament - Motor Booty Affair


You have a bad day? Or it's too cold, maybe? I have simple solution. Play this album and move your hips, because you are ear to ear with one of all time greatest dance albums. And if  you think this is all, you are terrible wrong. Also, every songs is a hit, but approach to music is highly experimental, production is up to date and the year is 1978, not to mention underwater concept as leitmotif.....Take a breath and go deep...
