Wax Treasure (Vinyl)

Orchestral Manoeuvres in the dark - 1980

Found this Electro vinyl in between my 45 inch, whilst searching for some easy sounds today.
Must have been misplaced for years.

Instantly revisited the simplicity of Electricity.

Felt like I’ve heard The Messerschmitt Twins never before.
Still stoked about the anarchy in Dancing.

Will definitely spin it again in the next days …

never liked the cover

[NickD]

@endo It got replaced, at least in the UK by the skulls on a cross cover. My copy has the same cover as yours, but I bought it around when the album came out.

[endo]

I know. But it always pissed me off.

[Aetas]

@endo Even the painter Robert Williams found his painting from 1978 inappropriate for a record cover …

What's your thoughts on that Coleman record @GraemeE ?

[GraemeE]

@J-IV the sqwawk level is about what you'd expect but I can appreciate it even more now after finishing the last of 3 shades of blue where they briefly dive into the "free" era

[GraemeE]

Also the influence of that style can definately be felt all over this tune 40 years later

[NickD]

Ornette Coleman is on the approachable side of free jazz, same with most Coltrane. Anthony Braxton and Cecil Taylor are where it starts to get challenging!

[GraemeE]

@NickD said in Wax Treasure (Vinyl):

Cecil Taylor

I seem to remember Branford Marsalis describing his stuff as "self indulgent crap" on the ken burns jazz doc

[milesd702]

acquired a grail this past weekend. Anyone here up on Mach-Hommy’s music?

[J-IV]

@NickD @GraemeE Albert Ayler is when it gets a little "out there" for me. Free jazz / Avant-garde really takes off once it hits Europe or Japan. Folks like Peter Brotzmann or Kaoru Abe push the envelope of the boundaries of jazz

Los Paul - a bit of NDW with Dada and a pinch of punk

[Aetas]

Girlfriend in a Coma @GraemeE :
“There were times when I could have muuuurdered heeeer.”
Loved the phrasing when the song came out and can laugh about this sentence nowadays ;-).

Lard - The Last Temptation Of Reid

Owned this only on CD.
But thanks to @endo, a vinyl version lingered into my life.

A new shop opened in my town, specialized to jazz.
Mentioned my desire for some old time punk and gates opened slowly. Looks like he is holding back a beautiful collection he bought years ago and is hesitant to pull upfront.
This is record one of three I could could squeeze out so far.

What about you @Mizmazzle …

[Mizmazzle]

@Aetas damn! I don’t have any Lard on vinyl. I need to remedy this

Can’t wait to see what else you were able to finesse from this mystery collection!!

[Aetas]

Record two out of three…
