right, i've been having a Buzzcocks revival, the initial run of albums from '77-'79; going to have to use that word 'perfect' again, because the enduring myth of them being a singles band is total rubbish. A friend the other day brought up the notion that Buzzcocks were definitely post-punk... because this simplified music press delineation of punk/post-punk doesn't cut it for so many bands, these guys included. Pete Shelley's universally-personal pop songwriting may be the other side of the coin to former bandmate Howard Devoto's art school intellectualism with Magazine; but both had moved beyond the basic punk blueprint by 1977. And if you still need convincing, 'Another Music..' bears the traits of the generic 'post-punk' sound, it's a lot more repetitive and brutal than the others, driving and very Krautrock-like with the drumming in places. But still catchy as hell. They were definitely trailblazers, however the combination of the punk ethos with pop sensibilities was completely mangled (sorry) later on by Californians IMO. I mean like second or third wave, not the Descendents et al =p what do YOU think? http://images.google.co.uk/url?sourc...g_x-rafmy-3NJg http://images.google.co.uk/url?sourc...0jBd7uj5_icnWA http://images.google.co.uk/url?sourc...nqZdg8aZdT9fnw |

Finally, after months, got my hands on these... why did I never check the comments or other blogs? http://i569.photobucket.com/albums/s...02761317_o.jpghttp://i569.photobucket.com/albums/s...c/30029555.png A couple pretty strange but beautiful tapes from Guelmim, Morocco, if you liked Conan's post on G.S Sachdev (which I much prefer because India > Africa) then these might be worth tracking down. Kind of creepy to sleep to though.... and I woke up the next morning sick. Try them out. Also have been digging this lately: http://i569.photobucket.com/albums/s...egetal_al_.jpg Each song is sort of hit and miss for me, if you want it you should be able to find the blog by typing the band and or album name into Google, unfortunately the link for d/l is missing the first track and this song I found on youtube isn't on it. Pretty good album though. Edit: BTW if you want that song from the youtube video, or a new unreleased mix of Salvador Cresta's stuff then just PM me, I got it. |

And IMHO Secret Chiefs 3 is even more the shit than Bungle. Trey Spruance is easily one of my favorite guitarists ever. |

Edit: I listened to it. Definitely Tarab, music that is used to meditate or to just to trip to (notable Tarab singer: Oum Koultoum). That's why all songs are ~20 minutes long, repeating usually the same sentence. Now it would've been much greater if they used a bouzouk or a Oud, or any of the traditional acoustic instruments, but I guess their whole concept was to inject some western vibe with the electric guitar. I guess that's why you made a bad trip listening to them. Tho what I liked in that music, and which was bound to happen due to Mauritania's position in the world. An Arabic country, on the north of Senegal and the south of Morocoo, like the separation of very different cultures. So these identities were merged to build some kind of mix of the traditional Arabic Tarab with the African, plus in some places we can hear the Moroccan Rai. If well arranged and recorded, I say this has the potential to be great. |
