Red Basica Les Premiers Plaisirs

20 oct 10

Voto:

This is truly a great album, and it's a shame that the Red Basica are so little known (but reviews help to fill these gaps). Besides the King Crimson you mentioned, I also hear many Canterbury influences, especially from Robert Wyatt (particularly in the vocals), of whom Mirko Onofrio is indeed a great admirer. Recommended for fans and lovers of the best prog music, but not only. The choice to arrange the tracks with a brass ensemble really enhances certain intertwining of jazz themes, classical hints, circus melodies, and more free experimentalism. At times, they almost remind me of News from Babel’s Letters Home. Truly a fantastic band.

Think that for me Mediaworld is now just made up of special price stands. How sad.
P.S. great cover for this album.

For me, the best of Fripp (who composes all the music here) and his associates. By far the most enchanting and rich in ideas and poetic qualities, both in the music and the lyrics. An album to be cherished dearly.

Finally seen in Rome at the Artists' Club, they put on about two and a half hours of a show filled with devastating jams, very much in the hard-psych style of this excellent album (they even opened with an extended super version of "All is loneliness"). I returned sweaty and mooooooooottttto happy.
Damn, what a fantastic band these Motopsycho are. Speaking of this album, the first three tracks and WBAT are pure bliss for me.

Jaco will never be boring. Perhaps excessive, stubborn at times, but never boring. And I seek this record out.

My goodness, the piece divided into three parts is something exhilarating. The gargle in the middle of the first of the three parts is beautiful. The rest, however, is no joke either.

John McLaughlin Industrial Zen

"This great guitarist is a hero, even epic, when he performs, but an antihero when he retreats, when he disappears." I would say mostly a hero. I don’t know if you’ve ever listened to the dueling outbursts with the violin of L. Shankar in that great band that was Shakti. If not, I absolutely recommend the second and third albums. I know little else by McLaughlin; "Extrapolation" is missing from my collection, so I think I'll start from that. Anyway, that’s a valid suggestion as well.
