Brigitte Fontaine’s companion, Areski, is an under estimated musician, imo, and this album is probably the one to get first. Beautiful, really. "Un beau matin", Saravah 1971. The Souffle Continu reissue is great too.

Stanley Cowell, "Blues for the Viet Cong", 1969. Sting like a bee

USA 2025 !!! "...Al Cisneros, Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe, Ben Chasny and Matthew Tobias. They play in honor of the late John Whitson, who founded and operated one of the world's greatest independently-run record labels." theholymountainorchestra.bandcamp.com The Holy Mountain Orchestra -Song for JW

Maurice Louca "Fera". Superbe.

#NowPlaying Gangrene (The Alchemist & Oh No) "Ayuhasca"

Showing off.

This reissue is fantastic !

In 1978, after the psychedelic heat of Brainticket, Joel Vandroogenbroeck released this excellent new age ( I know…) pastoral electronic thing, full of flute (the title gives a hint). I like to think Joel’s name means Of The Dried Trousers. But my Dutch is psychedelic too.

#NowPlaying Gilberto Gil "Expresso 2222"

#NowPlaying Terry Riley "Persian Surgery Dervishes " 1972. (Did Steven Stapleton found the title?)

#NowPlaying billy woods "today, I wrote nothing" reissue.

Günter Schickert "Samtvogel" (1974). Echo sur echo, jeux stéréo, allers-retours entre l’arrière-plan et la surface… tout en tension. Ici la version de 1976 que je cherchais depuis des années. Bonheur 🙌

1966. Johnny Hartman. But with a big band. And violins. I have images of Tony Soprano blaring Dean Martin from his boat. But it’s Johnny Hartman, and I love Johnny Hartman, the voice that is. But… I will find a caring home for it.

Few white men have ever looked more stylish, especially in 1975. #RIP #Peacoat #Redford

Tough day. Need to breathe a little. This works.

"Just when I thought I was out… !" thebugvsghostdubs.bandcamp.com/album/implos...

A certain Yasuo Sugibayashi released a tinkered hypnotic album under the name "The Mask of the Imperial Family". Twisted strings played by a very human broken machine. It works. This 2017 reissue sounds great.

Parmegiani for breakfast. "Rock"

Sabu Martinez, « Burned Sugar », live on Swedish radio, 1973. 🔥🔥🔥

Insomnia… so let’s make it worth. I finally found a beautiful copy of this gem (1966 US repress). I’ll blast Cristo Redentor at seven, wake the neighbours. 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

Walking Dead UK officially released. youtube.com/watch?v=Q0HH...

Christer Bothén Donso N’Goni. The sound…! 🙏🏻 Black Truffle, again.

Richard Pinhas « Chronolyse », 1978.

From what I read, Lourival Silvestre is (was?) a Brazilian born musician who moved to France in 1974. His unique album, was released in 1975, on Richard Pinhas’ Disjuncta. Heldon’s boss coproduces, Fernando Falcão plays percussions, Lourival on synthi EMS, guitar, etc. Great forgotten album. 🔥🔥🔥

The Bug vs Ghost Dubs « imploded versions » Unstoppable.

Muting everyone tweeting the equivalent of “Banksy’s done it again!”

En attendant le Orcutt/Shelley/Miller. Pas certain de maîtriser les codes de ce versant d’Ethan Miller, alors que je n’ai jamais écouté les Allman Brothers etc.

This is way better. Jim O’Rourke, Eiko Ishibashi, Joe Talia, Tatsuhisa Yamamoto and Von Spar. Playful jazzy thing, and yes, that is good.

Vinicius de Moraes 1966. Like a talent show with some Bach in it. Live and a tad spectral. A drink at the Overlook Gold Room.

#NowPlaying Summer into autumn

Tokyo Cigar & August Fanon “Raymond”. Filmic and lush. 👌🏻

Sobering down. “Turquie-musique soufi” Ocora 1977. According to Discogs, this is non-music.

Yes, Ptooff! In my head too. Would it be part of @andrewmale.bsky.social series of vinyls that look like they sound?

Big listening day. 1972 Argentinian reissue of this 1970 og release as “João Gilberto en Mexico”.

Baden Powell on Elenco, 1968. Perfect with sun and coffee.

A new @orenambarchi.bsky.social, here with Fredrik Rasten, is always a cause for celebration. This is one of those long evolving pieces I love. I feel some Popol Vuh here and there, and that’s fantastic. “Dragon’s return” is the soundtrack to a 1967 Slovak movie I must now absolutely see. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Je me suis bien amusé en écoutant Monique Levi-Strauss raconter l’envers du décor. Merleau-Ponty en macho de base! www.radiofrance.fr/francecultur...

#NowPlaying Heldon “Third”, 1975. My kind of King Crimson.

“Each his own Tony, each his own…”
