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 :)

Don Cherry - Eternal Rhythm

 

Although not very oriented towards jazz, some of my favorite records belong, tentatively said, to this direction. How, you ask? The answer lies in the authors themselves, the individual musicians who understand music as something without a limitations. And Don Cherry, he is certainly one of them :)

John Cale - Slow Dazzle

I first heard for Cale long time ago. I had his collaboration with Terry Riley, otherwise brilliant album "Church of Anthrax", on tape and I believe it was one of my first encounter with a different form of music. Wonderful time, when my musical path was closely connected with some interesting and today distant people. Around that time, this album came to me and it was something I kept coming back for years, enjoying in authentic vision of one seemingly classic sound .....
Cale, authentic savage   :)

Bill Laswell - Sacred System: Nagual Site

I don't know if you've seen the movie "The Fly", but to perform fusion, well, i think that is very difficult to predict the result :) Unless, your name is Bill Laswell. In this case everything goes smoothly :) Modern meet old, on this great album, and the result is nothing less than brilliant ...
Anyway, judge yourself :)

Jarboe - Mahakali

If we take for truth the idea that people listen to the kind of music how they feel at that moment, the question is how  I feel  listening to this album? Certainly not a very calm :) Although, it's also true, that, after this i will listen, for example, Parliament, gently wiggling hips ... Now, that says more about my personality, stable in perpetual variations ... and this is precisely what can be said for Mahakali :)
