Meh... it really doesn’t convince me much. Compared to the just previous debut (fabulous), this is a big step back. Fortunately, a good ten steps forward will follow. Nice album, but nothing more for me.

There are so many things to say about this Masterpiece, and instead, I remain silent... Ecstasy.
"...And Rosabelle, believe"
And then there's the donkey's bray, the voice transforms, the voice, the composer and the singer-songwriter at the peak of their abilities. Immense record.

A stunning debut, a refined and never banal masterpiece, it practically divides between perfect pop songs when it goes well, and beautiful pop songs when it goes poorly. One of my favorite pop albums, how much I love it. "The Saxophone Song," "The Man With the Child in His Eyes," "Wuthering Heights," and the title track are the masterpieces within the masterpiece.

A beautiful record, of a fantasy and beauty that is superb, which opens up to the golden and more mature phase of her career, followed by two masterpieces like "The Dreaming" and "Hounds of Love." And nothing, she is unique, a complete artist and one of the best songwriters of all time for me; here there are splendid songs, some of the best she has ever written. And then there’s her Kate Bush - Breathing - Official Music Video perhaps her most beautiful song, which alone elevates this album to a higher level. To be honest, I would be more than satisfied with Giblin's fretless bass here to shout masterpiece...

Anyone who loves Kate Bush after listening to this live performance from 1979 will weep bitter tears over the absence of other live albums from the shy girl. Can you imagine a live show in 1986-87 featuring the repertoire of "Never For Ever," "The Dreaming," and "Hounds of Love"? Throwing in a "Don't Give Up" just to break the charts? What a pity. Because this live performance (and let's not even talk about the video version) is exceptional, featuring 2-3 bursts of energy that are quite significant, like the 9-minute long very "classic-rock-70's" section (strange for her, especially for the her that will come very soon) of "James and the Cold Gun" or the preview of "Violin" with the same crazy vocal virtuosity found in the subsequent studio version.

The first album from the "legendary" band of "Walking on Sunshine" (which isn't even on this record) that I listen to in its entirety: wow, what a load of crap, the most bland and insubstantial 80s pop. Kimberley Rew and his collapse post Soft Boys. Katrina & The Waves, the donut without a hole of Cambridge music.

One of the fundamental albums by the King, and one I'm particularly fond of, was something I immersed myself in when I was 15-16 years old. I listened to "Elephant Talk" on repeat; I had never heard such a lively and passionate track, so engaging, and if you will, "pop" yet so bizarre, eccentric, and original. And Belew's pachyderm-guitar! What a joy to listen to it, what a brilliant song. Even today, it remains one of their strong pieces in my view, along with many others from this album: "Matte Kudasai" with those new sounds that transform the usual instruments to create music with ancient suggestions while pushing it into modernity, in "The Sheltering Sky" or the Frippian urban neurosis of the outbursts in "Indiscipline" or in "Thela Hun Ginjeet". A crazy album. The cerebral nature that can evoke emotions. Thank goodness Fripp and Belew met, after chasing each other with their almost parallel collaborations with Bowie first and Capocce Parlanti later.

The Cartoons of 70s rock'n roll. An album that comes right after "Alive" and is probably their best "classic" among the studio recordings. Perhaps it's their best (I'm not really sure, up until "Love Gun" the level is more or less always the same), in any case, like all their albums from '74 to '77, it's fun to listen to and has some excellent tracks in terms of rock'n roll (much more forgettable in the ballads, as far as I'm concerned).

Kool & The Gang: Wild and Peaceful

Now that I’ve also listened to the two previous ones, I’ve really gone back and replayed this one, and what can I say, the 5 is well-deserved, for the title track (the Kool that fly well beyond Funk), for "This is You, This is Me" (which, if you’re still alive, when the sax solo kicks in you find yourself bouncing your butt on the floor, it’s automatic), for a gem like "Life is What You Make It", for the two "Funky Stuff", and especially for "Jungle Boogie" which is not just a song, it’s a treasure of humanity.

    Jungle Boogie is pure funk concentrate. Great listens, unusual in Italy.

    Hey! Have you gotten into funky music? I have to ask my uncle about this; he was in his twenties during the 77-80 period and was a big fan of the genre and an avid club-goer. He still has many records from that time.

    For me, there’s an abyss of quality between Funk and disco. Yes, lately Soul, R&B, and Funk have been fascinating me a lot. Just think that in the last year I’ve started to love James Brown, whom I didn’t like before. Funk is cool, both “pure” and “hybrid” (with Jazz or psychedelia), and this is a really great group.

    Disco is the banalization/commercialization of funk. It's a bit like Elvis's rock 'n roll was the commercialization of Chuck Berry's r'n'b and friends.

    That said, Kool & The Gang are among the funk groups closest to disco... in fact, in just a few years they will effectively become one. For me, it's a good record, but there’s much better in the genre.
  • hjhhjij
    11 mar 15
    Well, there's really not much of a record here (especially because, in '73...) and in fact I stop before '76 with them. I agree there's better stuff overall, but this record definitely holds its own.

    In fact, the Kool & The Gang of Celebration really made me nauseous, but the ones from this album are a great band. Of course, as far as I'm concerned, Sly & The Family Stone and Parliament/Funkadelic are from another planet despite their differences.

Paraphrasing a wise man: does anyone know who the Kraan are? The booming, groove-filled bass of Hellmut Hattler? The enveloping saxophone of Johannes Pappert? The elegant drums and tribal percussion of Jan Fride? The incredible psych-funky-rock guitar work of Peter Wolbrandt? Oh wow.
A strong debut from this excellent German band. They are far from some of the more extreme and experimental approaches of other contemporary bands; the formula here is that of psych-acid rock stitched together with Jazz-Rock/Prog structures and solid touches of Funk and tribal and Middle Eastern fascinations, making it Fusion music in the truest sense of the word. The sung parts (by Wolbrandt) are brief, while long instrumental segments dominate, filled with beautiful melodic ideas and great musical imagination, with continuous touches of color always added with great class. Pappert's saxophone reigns, a true delight for the ears both in the groovier/acid parts and in the more melodic ones, but the intricacy of the guitar work and the rhythm section are equally exciting. "Kraan Arabia" is the gem of the album, born from that love for the East and the wonderfully tribal percussion so popular in Germany at the time, but the 18-minute kraut-jam "Head" is also a journey that, especially in the second half of the track, cannot be approached without joy. Exhilarating. The entire album is of high quality, nonetheless. Truly excellent, an outstanding record.
