catch the flashback.

a masterpiece of morning meditation musique. ray lynch's debut solo should be counted up there with iasos' jeweled space & mike stearn's planetary unfolding. absolutely beautiful & essential.

ps it has come to my attention that windows users have an issue with unzipping my folders because of the period i put at the end of the file names... first i've heard of this in the four years i have been sharing music. does anyone else have this problem?

so long as the water flows.

keeping this short, about to go get lost in the woods for a bit. favorite song on here is under the sun, good antidote to shitty cold weather we've been having lately.

le vainqueur.

keeping that train a'rollin...

lamp of the south.

another gem from the vaults of numero as part of their local customs series. this one is near & dear to my heart since i've been feeling real heartsick for the beautiful vistas & warm weather of texas. probably my favorite compilation from them, this makes me think of smoking unfiltered pall malls & drinking sweet tea & whiskey on friend's porches on warm summer nights. essential.

better change yr mind.

somewhere between john carpenter, iannis xenakis, kpm/grm, & the parry music company lies this album by two dudes who most notably played synths on stevie wonder's innervisions & talking book amongst others. one of them created the tonto, the world's first multitimbral polyphonic analog synthesizer. they also played on albums by gil scott-heron, bobby womack, joan baez, the isley brothers, & tons of others. this is the cd version with thirteen tracks. hope you dig it.

the temple room.

another gem from the numero vault. yr welcome.

we burnt time.

the third in a series of fusion records by some nipponese masters. i have posted the other two here & here, which are both fucking essential, especially pacific. worth the price of admission for shigeru suzuki's jam. pvre fyre. less exotica kitsch & more funky jazz fusion, you'll be thanking me when yr driving rain blurred night streets in yr wayfarer's.

ps no harry hosono on this one, sorry dudes.

small bird dreams.

yet another classique from the numero vault.

the sea of sands.

bought this a while ago, just now getting around to posting this gem. came out in 85, beautifully beguiling guitar figures with don slepian's (yep that guy!) gorgeously lush ethereal synths on top. morning meditation musique of the highest order.

i've been since i've been.

more numero goodness. the opening song is fucking great & sets a very high bar. enjoy my dudes.

rain in my heart.

the song mister kidneys is the fucking bees knees y'all. pretty killer funk/soul. enjoy!

delta rain dream.

out of press gem from tarantula hawk, a sublimely psychedlique sludgy doom prog band. came out on neurot, so fucking good you guys. listening now while writing this & midway through the second song is kicking my dick in right now.
