Ebony Bones- Nephilim (2018)



Art-pop, dance, classical orchestra, and rap all wrapped up in one. And it works.

Your description reminds me of Tank and the Bangas. Any similarity?

Not on this album as much. Here is the title track with the Beijing Orchestra, although the entire album isn't this laid back:

Her earlier hit,"No Black in the Union Jack" is closer to Tank and the Bangas' "Supermarket":

I gave it a shot. My right-brain is too limited. But I'm glad I gave it a chance.

But I'm glad I gave it a chance.

I am glad you did, too.

Rolf Lislevand ~ Nuove Musiche (2006)



0_o Wow!

An ECM New Series disc of Baroque music on non-period instruments: If I had any greater affection and admiration for this album, I would have to marry it.

Then, with my luck, it would leave me in 10 years.

P.S. I gave it , in case the above remarks are confusing.

Unreal music and musicianship. Now listening to the 2 extra tracks.

Hutchinson Andrew Trio ~ Hollow Trees (2016)

Hollow Trees was written specifically for the seven-piece configuration of the HAT and the Lily String Quartet. Its music features powerful, moving compositions by HAT pianist Chris Andrew that combine the beauty of classical chamber music with the drive and interplay of jazz. It’s music that rewards the committed listener. Shifting textures, melodies, rhythm and tonality reveal themselves constantly throughout each track, telling a story that is best experienced from beginning to end.

Drop Nineteens - Delaware (1992)

Love - Forever Changes (1967)

I fear this eloquent album is fading from the public consciousness even among modern music fans despite being ranked critically many years ago one of the greats (and hey NME in 2013 ranked it 37th of all time so some are still listenng). Perhaps it hasn't been there for many years (when I discovered this album in the mid to late 80s, I knew no one else who listened to it). I know my elder son has heard it - gotta make sure I suggest it to my younger son too.

The Clash - London Calling



Never been a big fan of Punk, yet I can listen to this album any time.

Guano Padano - Guano Padano (2009)

Italian surf/spaghetti Western influenced guitar rock - picked this up randomly after a good Mojo review 9 years ago. Still really enjoy it.
