Willie Colón & Rubén Blades—Siembra (1978) I have such mixed feelings about this album. It's considered to be one of the greatest salsa albums ever made and was, when it came out, the best selling salsa album of all time. So you can see it has quite a pedigree. It's also considered to be "the thinking man's salsa" because of Rubén Blades lyrics, but unfortunately my spanish is only good enough to vaguely understand the content of the lyrics and I really can't tell if they're well written or not. As a result I can only judge by the music, which is good, but doesn't exactly blow my socks off. The funny part is the first track starts off sounding like it's going to be seriously the greatest disco song of all time before being interrupted by a salsa beat that, while enjoyable, is honestly a little disappointing in the face of the badass disco that immediately preceded it. Unfortunately, I feel like the rest of the alum never reaches the heights of that first 45 seconds. I say all of this, I guess, because I'm curious if other people feel the same way about the intro to this album that I do. What do you think? Does the disco intro kick the salsa's ass or no? Here's the song: |

Pretty damn good so far, not sure why I hadn't heard of Clinic before. It's almost like a more twisted version of an elephant 6 collective band. |

Held Above by Hollow Sunshine Super fuzzy, shoegazey, droning pop that wouldn't have sounded out of place in the 90s. Excellent album

23 Skidoo - Urban Gamelan (1984) Digging into my vinyl collection and renewing my love for one of my favorite bands from the 80's. This was the album that got me into this band, and the first track "F.U.G.I." with samples from Francis Ford Coppola's "Apocalypse Now" was the song that got me hooked. Mostly an instrumental album featuring bass, guitar, horns, drums & percussion, with some vocal samples added to some of the tunes. The album starts out with an instrumental funk groove (F.U.G.I.) and then goes into dub before getting progressively drum & percussion oriented with bass, guitar, horns and vocal samples giving way to tribal style drum patterns giving way to gamelan style patterns until only the percussion instruments remain.
