Thanks! No, it’s a Transrotor Dark Star…

 

 

Probably my favourite Boards of Canada album…

So far, all really good pressings that sound fantastic 👌…mind you, the gin could be starting to influence my hearing…

I absolutely adore this album, a collaboration between English musician , Sam Genders (Diagrams) and 90+ year old American poet, Dorothy Trogdon. It is achingly beautiful.

I hope you won't be disappointed.

 

My musical taste is eclectic and a bit, more than a bit, left-field. So I am reluctant to recommend music to others, but I absolutely love this album.

I’ll have to look into this…the only other Island Records album I have is Nick Drake’s Pink Moon…

 

 

 

 

This is the record store owner’s band’s first album…very nice, almost like a film noir soundtrack…

John Martyn was the greatest artist of all time, IMHO. He refused to be pigeon-holed into a specific style or genre, fusing traditional folk, blues, jazz and experimental music. This caused him no end of trouble with record companies. He was the first white artist to sign to Island Records and to be fair Chris Blackwell stood by him for many years. Martyn also had human frailties, as do we all, especially drink and drugs. He never got the fame nor fortune his music deserves, and maybe he had a self destructive personality. And yet he left a wonderful treasury of music and conveys emotion like no one else, perhaps because  of his flaws. The only other artist who comes close is Sandy Denny.

 

I had the privilege to see him perform several times, always a great experience. He doesn't click with everyone but if he does you are in for quite a ride. John and his first wife, Beverley, were friends of Nick Drake and his song "Solid Air" is about Drake.

 

This clip is typical of his live performances, joking with the audience, even a bit crude then performing with such emotion. he died aged 60 in 2009, but he left a great legacy.

That was superb…I’ll definitely look into him much further. The performance and crowd banter aspect reminds me somewhat (although much newer and different music) of Warren Ellis of Dirty Three and Bad Seeds fame…

…and last but definitely not least of today’s purchases…

 

I love this album…

Yellow and black is beautiful, but I agree with Richard Thompson, "Red hair and black leather, my favourite colour scheme".
