Yellowjackets - It's Almost Gone
The magic of the black and white keys.
 
Uzeb - Bouncer
As if the Art of Noise crashed into Level 42 🐖
 
Fixx - Are We Ourselves?
Many have tried the funky wave with reggae lunar guitars and dub basses (Mr. Mister, Cutting Crew, A-ha, Men at Work...) but the grooves and the badass voice of Fixx never let you go.
 
Icehouse - Don't Believe Anymore
The favorite Aussie band together (of course) with the Church. In the land of kangaroos, there were many enjoyable bands like Australian Crawl, Mondo Rock, Dragon, Hunters and Collectors, Midnight Oil... but the lunar jingle jangle of the Church and the perfumed wave of Roxy Music/Japan from Icehouse are the sounds that uplift me the most.
 
Fixx - Opinions
They are out of this world. Far from the American plastic rock wave of Mr. Mister or the AOR Canadian mid-tempo. A track like this should be as well-known as Nightporter, Vienna, or East at Easter.
 
Uzeb - 4 P.M. Gate 26 (Live)
Fusion has unique harmonies 💎
 
Holdsworth - Low Levels, High Stakes (Remastered)
Some of Allan's notes are imperceptible for how deep they are. Out of this world!
 
Holdsworth - House of Mirrors (Remastered)
The album that wraps up Allan's stratospheric phase: Hard hat area 💣
 
Uzeb - Uzeb Club
I love this sound in the style of Level 42, Toto, and Tubes.
 
Uzeb - Spacy country
I replace the piece by Steps Ahead with this gem from Uzeb. I was browsing through records by Spyro Gyra and Steps Ahead, but they have the flaw of sticking to that "fake" fusion, with telegraphed breaks and little soul. In short, in Uzeb and Yellowjackets I still find the essence and the good vibes of Holdsworth, Bruford, Weather, and Ponty.
 
Steps Ahead - Trains
Bruford, Holdsworth, and the early Weather Report with Vitous along with the Jaco phase of Black Market/Heavy Weather are my favorites in fusion. But I also have a soft spot for geniuses like them, Uzeb, Yellowjackets... the harmonies, the flow, and the groove of fusion instantly inspire me.
 
Capsicum Red - Corale
The young Red Canzian and his friends have given us two truly interesting pieces: this one and an excellent reinterpretation of the Patetica.
 
Current 93 ‎– The Mystical Body Of Christ In Chorazaim (The Great In The Small)
Oh damn, but this is pure déjà vu! I posted the same thing as yesterday about Wakeman with the same phrase thinking I had never done it AHAH okay I'll make up for it with this dark trip from Current, take that!
 
Rick Wakeman - The Battle / The Forest (Medley / Live)
The same goes for King Arthur: enchanting instrumentals and vocal harmonies that evoke ancient times, but I would have avoided the spoken parts (in fact, as a collage lover, I cut them out with Free audio editor AHAH).
