very interested in Proto, sounds familiar but don't know the music

Hey hey brother always great to hear from you..you indeed would dig that fantasy much like me..i have not listened to much of it either lately but fred's minimalism video has me in the mood..i have a few things on the label but definitely not as much as the others you mentioned.. The bloc is one of my favorite regions of the world for records..always interesting and a bit different in some respect. Lol the sango is a fun one she does sing in English and you are correct that you have to really dig joni's style which i really do so hits it for me.. Maybe not for you though..lol. I do love my fusion and have more than most..lol..i do the same thing with alot of my friends i always think i bet sherv or whomever would love this wonder if they know it etc.. The meyers is nice imo definitely would be at home on your shelfs.. I always look forward to your videos when the mood strikes like you do with mine.. Thanks brother i appreciate you much..much love chris

Hi Brother, I like the backround music, nice melodies and all over feeling really in that record, a bit fraqile in a good way. I dont know that italian guy Dentes at all but will check. I did listen to that Rajasthan record whole online, it is amazing lp, loved it, so trancendential as you said, the western psych cannot reach that dimension att all in my opinion. That romanian panflute record sounds fun, i checked only one track but anymays, Great to see video by you, Cheers, -petri

Good to see you back, Chris! Thanks for the recommendations. The Friesen might be up my alley. I check it out. Take care!

Hey brother, Sweet hang earlier, and thanks again to you and Steve. Enjoying the few things I've spun so far...can take the rest of the summer off from acquiring music now. 🙂 Great stuff again here, am quite intrigued most by the last one, east meets west always sparks interest. Peace, love, and thanks again! -Carm & the furz

Chris, I noticed your new avatar, I approve it. Yes, Randall Myers is terrific, not the typical solo American Primitive style. CMP always has great engineering and production values, on par with ECM. I have the cd, '' Double Bass Music Of Frank Proto'' by bassist, John Ebinger, on Soundset Recordings, 1996. There are some jazzy elements on ''Sonata For Bass And Piano'' and the piece, ''Duets For Double Bass'', is of course, double the fun. I'm still on the hunt for the Red Mark Records releases. In the early 1980's, Proto composed some works featuring the synclavier mixed with other instruments. Zamfir with Herbie's Headhunters is a marriage made only in the Eastern Bloc, and I want to be the ring-bearer, or if worse comes to worst, the flower girl. Peace brother.

Chris, did you show that Randall Myers album before, because I found it already in my wish list? The Harold Clayton was one that I found in 2022, and since I didn't have any samples I just had to trust what I read about which seemed interesting. Odd that I have an album that you show! Take care, Chris

Hey bro, definitely will check out the David Friesen, I know he plays on a bunch of the Billy Harper records I have. I've been digging the Symphony Jazz Quintet record so interested to hear the Frank Proto record, I'm assuming more experimental/electronic maybe? Also added that Barometer to my list to check out, always interested in Russian jazz I haven't heard.

hey dude, nice to see this... interesting stuff as always.. the second lp here, Fantasy, seems like something l would dig.. l haven't been listening to any lately but gamelan has been on my mind... l have one record on electricord, a modern classical thing that's pretty sublime... they don't seem to be as easy to find as labels like hungariton or muza/polski nagrania.... maybe l missed it but does the joni like singer on Sango sing in english? l can only take joni in small doses usually when my wife throws something by her on about once a year. that's good enough for me 😅 in other news l been listening to a lot of fusion since your electromagnets video... certain albums l play make me wonder "does chris have this? or has he had it?" l really like the sound of Meyers in the background, l'm wondering what section that would be in, classical? anyway, maybe l'll be inspired to show some things soon... it's always a pleasure to see your records and hear you speak on them.... hope all is well

Great stuff as always Chris!!

great picks as always. love that Sango LP.

Chris!! Some really interesting stuff there, good to see you again.

Hey Chris. You truly find the most amazing records; i would love to go hunting for records with you one day. Sometimes I'm a bit to...conservative with my purchases. Always researching before i make that jump. But you need to be more willing to make that leap of faith about those records. I do know one thing, when you recommend a record, it's going to be a gem. I'm particularly interested in the Harold Clayton album and the Catalin Tircolea. Think I'm sold on both. Thank you so much for sharing. Cheers. Shawn

Hi Chris! Another fascinating selection, all new to me. The Claudio Dentes sounds especially interesting. Thanks for showing these--cheers!

Nice to see you back, Chris. The David Friesen record definitely peeked my curiosity, as I think I've seen that cover before, well you would think that this is a ECM release (i.e., a not necessarily essential one) which shows that it's always nice to get the view of the expert haha. thanks for sharing, take care ++

I just checked out the a track from the Claudio Dentes album. I think it is called "Rock-O-Cokey". Really good. Excellent bass. <> Being a big fan of Sun Ra and the Arkestra in a short period of time. I think the Harold Clayton album would be one that I would enjoy. <> Good to see that you finally tracked down the Frank Proto album. Sounds like he has had quite a career. I am going to try to track down some of the Symphonic Jazz Quintet stuff too. <> Sango sounds like it is right up my alley. It was fusion that got me to do a deeper dive into other jazz genres. Now I dig avant-garde anything. It says a lot about any record when you admit to liking every track. Or almost every track. It is a definitely check out for me. I think I will start with this album and then explore the others. <> This was the perfect Friday evening update Chris. Thank you for sharing all of the info on each album and taking your time doing so~ Rob/Boston

Good evening Chris. Always the best seeing you doing another update. Hope that everything has been going good on your side as well. Time to see what records/artists you are going to tune me into. Thanks C~ Rob/Boston

Thanks for thinking of me Chris. I have added Randall Meyers to my want list. I recently bought a Hugues Dufourt solo piano album, and I tried to buy a Tristan Murail album twice. I had it ordered two times and the seller came back and told me that they didn't actually have it. Maybe the third time will work! Take care, Chris

Enjoyed the video. love your taste in records. Looking forward to the next one.

Great job getting that dead stock!

Great entry Chris, very interesting to hear your thoughts on these. I have the first - the synth freak out half way through the last track does that thing to my brain that I love. Was unaware of the second record so thank you for the tip!

l've always wondered about this album, didn't know about the second lp.... nice tribute tee

Thanks Chris. I have several Shawn Phillips, but nothing like this. Take care, Chris

Hey Chris! Thanks for the video! Cool stuff! Always great to hear that stories from (online) digging in the 90s :)

Chris, thanks for telling us the story'' behind'' the tee- shirt. Great way to celebrate a dear friend ! Shawn Phillips is an amazing human being, he seems like he's done so much work, more than most people could do in five lifetimes. I always assumed he was English, not American

Fantastic edition Chris. Both of these I'm on the lookout for but never dove into that second which seems like it might be the most interesting. With the varied sounds and all. Of course you were in touch with them! Love those dead stock finds. Lovely stuff, fun to see these kinds of things in the archives along with all those classic, and more obvious, psych titles. Good curio. Great t-shirt too my friend, sure you'll be thinking of Pat today. Hope its a great one!

Intrigued to check this one out! Alembic was the company who made that bass, closely related to the Dead and founded by Owsley (acid connection right there!). Phil Lesh used Alembic basses a lot in the 70's. Cheers Chris!

Nice Chris!

Hey Chris. Wow. Two more amazing records. I've heard the Cosmic Debris (such a cool name). But the other is complete knew to me. Like you, not much for me at RSD. However, I usually go to my favorite local because they put lots of used stock out on the shelves. I've made some great purchases are very reasonable prices. So I will likely go and hang up with some of the crazies in line. Cheers! Shawn

Nice! Amazingly I just got a copy of the first Cosmic Debris… arrived today! Some cosmic synchronicity! I’ve had the second one for a while now. Good to see ya Chris.

Heya Chris, This is a group I shall definitely be perusing. Wow, all those copies of that second one! Sweet tribute to brother Pat. Hope it's a good RSD there! ☺ Peace n love. -Carm & furz

Great albums I have both.

Intriguing stuff as always my friend. I love the Jazzy Afrobana lp. Would love to find that one. Funny looking at it on discogs...someone got a great deal for the only copy that sold. lol. The Hopi Butterfly seems up my street too! Plus the Minotauros with that German connection. More to discover as always Chris!

Hi Chris. Just checked online if the De Leeuw is the same De Leeuw who did the Erik Sartie series. Two different persons. Only you can show these undiscovered gems from my home country. Never seen it myself. Cheers. /Paul

with bouzouki i always think of the zorba the greek theme, have a huge soft spot for it. is the cantos at all like reichel? i need more native american music-- hopi looks like a good one.

Hi Chris. That Wolfgang Lackerschmid sounds dope, already added to the want list. That Larry Blackshere is great but you're right, never see it.

DUDE!!!! I am fucking glad you're still on here!! Forgive me for my absence. Still educating me!! Much love, my man!

nice to see you back this soon... l'm sure you know Gus giordono, l have a Johnny frigo compilation with Gus' dance arrangements as the setting... is Hatchett out of chicago? that's the one martino prestige l don't have, l'm pretty sure there's an ojc which for some reason never picked up.... l have the Berio and a Lutoslawski in that philips series and the CRI Black Angels,, really dire sh!t... and l love that Perigeo, broke it out last week as a matter of fact, some wicked guitar work on it.... some other things here l don't know but will look into especially the percussion lps and that bouzouki thang, maybe Kit in Greece knows about it.... classic presentation..... classic video man

Great to see you again Chris and interesting records as always!

Hi Chris! Good to see you back. As so often, I don't know any of the records you show. Thanks for all the advice though! Would be happy to see more from you here, by the way. Your posts are always a wonderful source of inspiration for me.

Chris, really good choice from the Acid Archives. In the late 1990's I bought a music guide/ cd combo titled something like, '' a guide to the music not found in the trouser press guide''. It featured people like Q R Ghazala and bands like The Supreme Dicks , it also included Popol Vuh! Christopher Cross' debut album was awesome, in the same league as Boz Scaggs, '' Silk Degrees''. Jerry Hunt was from Texas, he makes Roky Erickson look like a girl scout. I can imagine Chick Corea drinking lots of carrot juice.

just discovered you . Great vid!!! Sounded like the Last Poets in the backround. Great to hear music' during your Vid. while you are reviewing/ recommending cool shit. Slainte' mate, From Spocanada, U$$@

That Hopi looks good, I have folkways Cry from the earth album that is maybe more aboriginal vein. If the album is liked by two Chris it has to be enjoyable, lol. That bouzouki album cover is anazing, what is the name of album, that font looks weird. I have only Perigeos Valley album, Canada pressing cut-out, hah, but as you said two first are the best. Funny reaction to the new instrument coming in to bgm, sounded actually really good. Great vid, cheers. -petri

Chris, only a true music lover would find gold in the hidden gems of the seemingly anonymous instructional dance genre. My first album of Native American music was, ''Oku Shareh: Turtle Dance Songs Of San Juan Pueblo'' from 1979 on New World Records. That album knocked my socks off, but drove my friends crazy when I played it in between Led Zeppelin and Yes. Zappa's tune, ''Canard Du Jour'', features Frank on bouzouki and Jean- Luc Ponty's baritone violin. That song is so good, I wish they did an entire album with just those two instruments. Peter Eotvos died on March 24, 2024. I discovered Peter many years ago, when I bought my first Stockhausen album, ''Prozession'' on DG from 1975. Eotvos played electrochord with synthesizer. Peter conducted the music of Helmut Lachenmann, one of my favorite ''modern'' composers. Peace!

Hi Chris - Intriguing stuff as always. I have the Perigeo on CD. I have my eye out for that version of Black Angels. Thanks for sharing!

Good morning Chris. This is a nice Sunday morning surprise/treat. It does not matter what time you show some records. I am there as soon as I see it posted. I just listened to some of the Larry Blackshire Trio. Great vibraphone playing. The stand-up bass sounds dynamite too. <> Every once in a while I will see someone show Perigeo. I think that in the VC's early years we were sharing way more Italian prog. <> Funny. I was just listening to Pat Martino's Baiyina on Prestige. His playing is so sharp. <> Thank you for introducing me to Randall Meyers. Another interesting, fun and welcome post Chris. I anticipate every album that you are going to talk about next. Your artist and genre retention is over the top impressive. Thank you~ Rob/Boston

G' morning, brother. Happy to wake up to this. Goes without saying I'm interested in nearly everything...so I say it anyway. 🙂 Hopi Butterfly stands out right away, as does Larry Blackshere. Nice, Black Angels. I've only heard Kronos Quartet's version, and was probably my intro to Crumb way back when. Am really struck by the last couple covers you showed. These shall be further investigated... 🙂 Thanks as always, and hope you have as peaceful a Sunday as possible. Big love. -Carm & Rocky kitty who also watched

The Dufourt Lp is indeed very cool musically, unpredictable, but even cooler, in Bicho Feo's terms, cheap heat! Spectral music is often controversial in avant circles, as many musicians consider it unplayable, unless the composer is directly involved in the performance, which I actually find even more appealing. Did I hear Audiophile music? ^^ Great one, Chris, love to see you in good spirits!

Good to see you Chris. Though I am familiar with the Eric Johnson name, mostly I know him from his work with Black Sun Ensemble (from Arizona rather than Texas). Thanks, Chris

Cool record. Hoping to see you do some more entries as your taste and knowledge is a real gift.
