    Default 5 bailing-as-fast-as-we-can picks for Wednesday

    - various artists Ocean of Sound *
    - Deerhunter Microcastle
    - Henrik Schwarz, Ame, and Dixon The Grandfather Paradox
    - Susan Alcorn Concentration: High Zero Festival, 2004
    - Gunslingers No More Invention

    * For some reason I never picked this up when it was first released, and now, of course, you can’t buy a copy for love nor money. Fortunately someone posted a link somewhere (ILM?) not long ago that led to some dude's blog where you can download the whole thing for free, assuming the links are still working, and they were last time I checked. Anyhow, I hope they are, cause Ocean of Sound is one of the best compilations-as-albums ever made, right up there with Nuggets or The Indestructible Beat of Soweto or any other you care to name, and any serious music nerd who doesn't have it needs it.

    cool, thanks for that. looks good. anything that segues from "machine gun" to harold budd seems promising.

    really this week i only have two, and they're related:

    the grandfather paradox, as mentioned above. and then because of the cymande track on there, i got curious and bought this:



    which, even though it looks like the first cymande album, is actually a sort of haphazard compilation of stuff from their first (only?) three records, 1972-74. it's 17 tracks and pretty much all killer. british-caribbean soul-funk-reggae-psychedelia. i described it to a friend as, what jam bands are supposed to sound like but almost never do. here's a couple tracks: their more curtis mayfield side, and their awesome hippie groove side.

    so much better than a lot of stuff of similar vintage that it's a mystery to me that they're not better known. or maybe i've just been heedlessly ignorant. anyway, good stuff.

    You can purchase Cymande's "Renegades of Funk", released in 2005, on i-tunes. 16 tracks.

    yeah my disc is the same lineup as that, plus 1.

    the sound might be better on renegades of funk, though. the one i have could use some remastering.
