Isaac Hayes - By The Time I Get To Phoenix

ISAAC HAYES WEEK: By The Time I Get To Phoenix.... the classic by Jimmy Webb, already sweetly covered by Glenn Campbell and Johnny Rivers and revitalized by Hayes, stretched to exhaustion and introduced by one of his famous "spoken words" (far from what would become rap, huh?)..... Eighteen minutes and forty seconds of pure delight.... do you have it?
 
Never Can Say Goodbye - Isaac Hayes

ISAAC HAYES WEEK: Never can say goodbye..... more mature than the original version by the Jackson 5, less danceable than the covers by Gaynor and the Communards, meditative and tailored for the expressive voice of brother Isaac...... From here, a certain Barry White would take more than one cue to launch a career characterized by the aforementioned deep voice and "chamber" (bedroom) soul, more commercial than the original and increasingly distant from the communicative art of the soul music that our man so passionately pursued.

Groep 1850 ā€Žā€“ Agemo's Trip To Mother Earth (Philips, 1968)

I might sound repetitive, but this Dutch group from the city of Den Haag played in a way that was ahead of its time by practically twenty years. The group (Peter Sjardin, Daniel Van Bergen, Ruud Van Buren, Beer Klaaasse) is called Groep 1850 (or Group 1850), and 'Agemo's Trip To Mother Earth', released in 1968 (Philips), is their first LP. The album is objectively very beautiful and something surprising in the field of sixties psychedelia. Let's just say the band was definitely on point: 'Reborn' is a typical psychedelic ballad infused with Eastern sounds; 'Refound' echoes the lysergic inspirations of the Beatles; 'Ever Ever Green' has the marks of old classics combined with a psychedelic pop flavor still typical of the four lads from Liverpool; 'I Know (La Pensèe)' as well as 'A Point In This Life' have passages reminiscent of Stones sounds like 'Paint It Black' but combined with a certain hypnotism and a use of choruses that is typical of these crazy flying Dutchmen. Like in the dramatic psychedelic-pop of 'Zero' or in 'Mother No-Head', a psychedelic garage litany where the choruses overlap and at one point in a self-ironic symphonic experimentation, we hear the notes of 'San Martino Campanaro.' 'I Put My Hand On Your Shoulder' is definitely the most experimental track on the album. It opens with clear references to a typical psychedelia of the time, reminiscent of the Floyd of Syd Barrett; the introduction is ecstatic, a downpour of sounds and psychedelic allegories that converge into 'Sgt Pepper'-like visions, leading to a closure with the classic Motorik 4/4 of kraut-rock and an acidity reminiscent of Amon Duul II. If 'Misty Night' is a typical blues-rock episode of those years, tracks like 'Frozen Mind' and 'Dream Of The Future' are absolutely ahead of their time in their use of distortions and a certain underlying nihilism. But if that weren't enough, here comes the fury of 'Fire', which may remind one of Blue Cheer but at a certain point seems already hardcore, and then you end up wondering if these Dutchmen had some kind of spacecraft to travel through time.

I inaugurate today the #zot217 review and I do it in the best possible way with an astonishingly beautiful album. While it's a tribute album, this is an unmissable opportunity to relisten to the reinterpretation of a fundamental work in a perfectly executed live dimension. Enjoy listening.

Brooklyn Raga Massive - Terry Riley In C (Northern Spy Records, October 06, 2017)

Terry Mitchell Riley, born in Colfax on June 24, 1935. How many composers and musicians have been as influential as him over the last sixty years? Inspired by zen philosophy and Indian ragas, and the consequent use of instruments like the sitar and tabla (in addition to those more common in Western music), his minimalist music is built around regular, obsessive, repetitive rhythms to which layers of sounds with melodic and harmonic turns are superimposed. The creation of this kind of meditative and hallucinatory mantra has anticipated many of the typical themes of psychedelia and cosmic music, and it can still be said to have reached heights in experimentalism never before attained. 'In C' (1964) is perhaps his most famous work and is considered the most popular minimalist composition of all time. Conceived for an ideal number of 35 musicians, it is divided into 53 phrases and is here presented in its entirety by the Brooklyn Raga Massive (BRM), a collective of musicians well-versed in Indian music and led by Neel Murgai (voice and sitar). The collective, composed of 18 musicians, has performed the entire work in over 70 concerts. This one was recorded at Joe's Pub in New York on January 11, 2017. I think the most significant judgment on this work is indeed that of Terry Riley, who stated that he has never heard an ensemble like this perform 'In C'. A masterpiece.
