Hey Dom, happy that you’re digging ‘Stirrup’. Fred L-H does some interesting things with his processed cello setup! Thanks for highlighting the mid 70’s Max Roach Quartet. That particular aggregation belongs in the conversation of ‘The Greatest Jazz Quartets’. Being that they toured other counties and their recorded output is on foreign labels, they seemingly didn’t grab the attention of the jazz mafia / intelligencia here in states. But a superb, tight ensemble worthy of a loud shout-out and exploration for sure!!

Exciting you get to record at Electrical Audio, hoping the studio will remain open with Albini's passing. Not familiar with Stirrup but have their drummer's Charles Rumback latest record Seven Bridges, sounds very similar to Stirrup, but has more players. Loved that Boni sample, will seek out.

That's brilliant that Steve Davis sent you his music. Although tremendously popular as a player he was dubbed 'boring' for a long time until one day it was revealed that he was a dj and was a big fan of the 'strange' French band Magma. He's still a snooker pundit on BBC tv as well as making great music.

I don't know if you know the back story to the legend that is Steve Davis. Was called ''interesting'' back in the 80's as he appeared the opposite of ''interesting''. Then became the most ''interesting'' snooker player or sports person in the UK, or even the world, due to his interest- in noise/music. I will now be buying my first new LP of 2024 since it seems he has an LP with him on it! Quality of it an irrelevance, but hopefully it has some musical merit.

Been on the fence with that folk magic band lp..i like parts of it..maybe if one pops up cheap. Those later folkways are some of my favorite ones..like you said always interesting at the least..i have some other mayan stuff in a similar vain.

Hey my friend. gotta love those early 60s pressings. They hold up so well, quality was high for sure. I know what you mean on the Folk Magic Band. I can't behind the majority of the 2nd side. Bad cocktail jazz vocals, makes no sense why that's there after the burning side 1. But love it for that. So appreciative of all the records you sent. It's been fun to work my way through them. much love to you as well.

Wow, speaking of being prophetic, days before Albini's untimely death you mentioned your upcoming recording session. Crazy. That Windy and Carl side project sounds great. Brilliant act. Love that Felt too. Have a Pram LP coming in the mail, Helium (fingers crossed it comes not f-ed up). That Raymond Boni sounds super cool and chilled out. Nice crystalline sound on the guitar.

Yes not what I had in mind to say the least. I was certainly figuring we would get to say hi to him while at the studio or bump into him. We are still set to record there though. The Pram "Helium" is so excellent, good move. I really love solo guitar records of all types, though mainly the off-kilter ones. Some instruments work in the solo setting quite well though for instance I'm less inclined to get into solo sax recordings.

Great selection as always Dom! I agree with Shawn, both Utopia Strong and Once Dreamt sound like really great records. Really loved Raymond Boni, you know the excellent Canadian artist Eric Chenaux, feels to me like he took inspiration from that one, I know he's a big Derek Bailey fan so maybe there is a link? Always good to see Pram in the mix, I feel there's two new British bands taking some inspiration from them, Devon Rexi, dubby vocals in a mix of Farsi and made up words (both the ep and album are pretty great), and then Rainbow's new album Champagne Dub. Maybe others won't hear a link but for me there's something, the hand made, some lost Albion folk electronic empherma... who knows! 😂 Take care man ✌️

@@seekingathread That's right, and I think his releases have been getting gradually more and more experimental too, he's a great artist, I still love Skullsplitter, what a record. I was thinking maybe the recent work of Brannten Schnüre is a more modern link to Pram, they definitely swim in the same waters. This year's 'Aprilnacht' on Aguirre is very strong and their 2022 'Das Glück Vermeiden' is a super tip, it's just hard to get these days, might be easier in the states
