Rush--Buenos Noches Motor City. 2 disc live show from the Hemispheres album tour 1978. Awesome find this weekend at a tiny record shop. It's a Bootleg soundboard recording. It's probably online somewhere as a download. Like Spirit of the Airwaves CD released in UK recently, this also sounds better than the crappy sound on Exit Stage Left. Rush was definitely one of the greatest bands of the 70's and early 80's, that's for sure.

I was saddened to learn yesterday that the SEM label has closed its doors. The label is continuing to sell some old physical stock on their bandcamp site, however. Moreover, the label owners (Alexandre Navarro and Letna/Sasa Vojvodic) have made their digital releases available for free. If you didn't get a chance to check some of those out in the past, this is a good time to do so. I've posted links to two of my favorites from the label owners below. I've spent the day at work revisiting these.

Letna - Adria

Redfish - Redfish

Sem released some really neat stuff, including some work by offthesky. the Green Kingdom, and Segue's most recent album. The website hints at some kind of rebirth in the future. Fingers crossed.

'Animism' by Forrest Fang

An intoxicating mix of sounds, dense yet subtle. Very interesting blend of tonalities, quite unlike most ambient music.
Very good allround !

- Alio Die :: Honeysuckle

Can't get enough of this. A wonderful work.

chris23 · « **Reply #4106 on:** May 03, 2014, 08:26:28 AM »

Honeysuckle is one of a handful I never picked up. I'll have to give it a try sometime.

I've been enjoying this week some digital downloads from the recent Projekt sale:

Steve Roach - Live Transmission and Future Flows

Honeysuckle :: highly recommended.
Call me crazy, but I often leave it on repeat all evening.

chris23 · « **Reply #4108 on:** May 03, 2014, 09:00:32 AM »

I bet your wife calls you crazy when you do that.

APK · « **Reply #4109 on:** May 03, 2014, 09:16:40 AM »

It's one of those very consistent albums that flows wonderfully, I don't think she even knows its repeating.

If your wife is anything like mine, she'd be oblivious to ALL the music you play. For instance, I could play in succession... oh, let's say your new one, Middle Distance, then Taylor Deupree, and then something by Alio Die. She wouldn't notice a difference, seriously. She'd say it all sounds the same

Right now I just listened to Robert Rich- Echo Of Small Things- I love this album. Magical, mystical, and mysterious. And as an added bonus, it really un-nerves our cats

They look nervously around the room while their ears revolve like little radar dishes, as they try to assimilate the sounds. Very entertaining!

By the way, has anyone heard Robert Rich's Nest? Opinions would be appreciated, good, bad, or indifferent.

And I'll have to look into Honeysuckle.

"She'd say it all sounds the same." That is mystifying.
But wait a minute ... I've probably said (many times) all 80's music sounds the same

NP.
The Incredible String Band :: Be Glad For The Song Has No Ending.
Quirky and wonderful 70s Brit. folk.

Honeysuckle is my favourite of Stefano's albums.

Hi Joe,

if it helps a bit, here is the link to my review of "Nest" CD published on these pages in November, 2012:

Well thanks, Richard! That's one I must have missed.

This morning: Robert Rich- Calling Down The Sky- I'm on a definite Robert Rich kick.

thirdsystem · « **Reply #4115 on:** May 04, 2014, 05:54:54 AM »

just been checking out............

No.inc - Early Reflections

A partnership between former FAX artists , Material Object and Atom, on their new "No." label.
http://no-ware.bandcamp.com/album/early-reflections. Spacy, ambient, drones, occasional hints of the East. Very interesting. Not so keen on the more experimental Part V perhaps but will be getting this download fairly urgently.

Joe, I am now spinning "Premonitions 1980-1985" 4LP Box Set by Robert Rich. If you are also into vinyl, definitely a must-have sonic document showcasing huge talent and creativity of Robert when aged between 17 and 22!!! I just bought yesterday a turntable because of this beauty.

The Box Set is available directly from Robert, for US orders only, while all others should go directly through German Vinyl On Demand label. Once again, it's highly recommended!!!

Wow... I'll bet that's really good. Is it along the lines of Trances And Drones? I'm gonna pass on this one, simply because I don't feel like buying a turntable again. If I had known years ago that vinyl was going to make a reappearance, I would have kept my turntable...

Amp - Heart And Soul Dissolves

Amp is actually one of my biggest influences and this is an excellent release. A lot of their work isn't even ambient though.

Steve Hillage--Rainbow Dome Musick. This timeless masterpiece is high on my all-time faves list. Stunningly beautiful two long tracks. Ethereal in the extreme.
