heat dome.

 

when the sage owl was running holy warbles, during the summer he would post a lot of reggae albums to go with the weather. to keep a great idea running, i'll be posting more of my favorite 80's boogie albums. this is such a gem with amazingly lush production. don't sleep on this one. 

 

ps stay hydrated & stay safe everyone during this insane heat wave we're going through!

qualcosa cambia.

 

a nice way to start my saturday morning while enjoying some coffee & doing laundry.

 

 

love is a strange affair.

 

i listen to this album at least once a day. no matter how shitty i'm feeling, it always puts me in a better place.

be brave.

a fantastic collection of us army dudes playing slick funk while overseas from the seventies.

part one    ///    part two

the hill of dreams.

fucking great early electro album, but the real highlight is i cry (night after night). if yr into ppu, cosmic chronic, omega supreme, etc al then this is for you.

yr on my mind.

so my hausmate brought this home the other night & we got stoned & jammed it for a while, just having our minds blown by the heady jams. then i found out that one of the brothers passed away on sunday, the same day we played it. in memory, i wanted to share this gem with y'all. arranged & produced by quincy jones, so full of lush orchestral funk. & of course y'all have heard strawberry letter 23 before. rip dude.

in this circle of time.

seventies stoned biker funk. yeah, this is fucking rad. whole thing is a goddamn gem, but first two songs will melt yr face.

postcard from brilliant orange.

great great great funky soul from texas circa late sixties~mid seventies. iron leg is pvre fyre. get both parts.

i know a classique amongst the blogerati, this is for those who didn't catch this the first time around. great collection of indonesian blissed out psyque rock & fuzzy stoned biker jams from the seventies. essential.

le vainqueur.

keeping that train a'rollin...

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.

rain in my heart.

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

everlasting road.

smooth going soul/funk/r&b~ish steez from the late seventies. willie wright has a nice voice & i think just got my neighbor pregnant.

perfect secrecy forever.

lo-fi funk & boogie for bedroom dance parties.

music to wash dishes by.

as a follow up to yesterday's post, here is some ace funk & soul from t.l. barrett.

gospel funk ranging from late sixties till mid eighties. my favorite is the first song by t.l. barrett, whose album i will be posting in the next coupla days.

one // two

moon nightclub.

weirdo lo-fi outsider minimal electronic reichian jazzy funk rock. yep, a sentence of random words that somewhat accurately puts a finger in the general direction of how insanely good this is.
