This one I picked up only yesterday. Damo’s last days with the band.
Can confound me. Some stuff I love and some leaves me wondering whether they're taking the proverbial!
Improvisation is the key 🔑 and, as you’ve discovered, it can be very much hit and miss especially live. I remember as a teenager buying Ege Bamyasi, and because there were no recognisable guitar solos I returned it the very next day. Little did I know then that I’d become one of their staunchest supporters. It all (re)started with Mother Sky from Soundtracks. Now that was more like it 🎸

This little beauty arrived earlier. A surprise as I only ordered it yesterday afternoon! Beautifully and strongly packed too. Plastic sleeve was included and Lp with inner separate from main cover. Nice touch. Kudos go to………Freebird.

Arms and Sleepers: Nostalgia for the Absolute
This is a short but very attractive album with very engaging music and music making. It is the third time that I have listened to this album recently and I will no doubt return to it again. There is a broad sonic spectrum on offer here and I find it to be a good mix between acoustic and electronic music.

Beautiful sleeve. Very unusual name. Sounds intriguing….

"Third Man Records’ live direct-to-acetate recordings take place in the Blue Room in Nashville, TN and are cut exclusively on a 1955 Scully lathe that originally came from King Records in Cincinnati. Recorded live in one-shot, with no overdubs, no redo's, no starting-and-stopping, the process is truly of another time, rendered obsolete by the late 1950's and only available nowadays in TMR's locations in Detroit and Nashville."
