02 The Hawk - Alan Parker 06 Auto-Pilot

As promised yesterday, here are a couple tracks showing what 70s-era guitarist Alan Parker and keyboardist Alan Hawkshaw got up to in their sound library careers, not playing second banana in an also-ran wizard-prog band. I put the de Wolfe libra...

09 Italy 73 15-La_via_della_droga_-_31 A6 Infernal Crime 11 Chaiste

Shawn Lee has just put out yet another new Ping Pong Orchestra album! It's called Miles of Styles and, as the title suggests, it's got the most varied genres of any record in the series (and it's also double the length). The tunes are mostly ins...

A Primary Industry - Perversion

Here's a first: an intersection of my 80s rarities thread with my car-chase music thread. The first song released by A Primary Industry was "Perversion" on Life at the Top, the LP companion to Abstract magazine number 4 from 1984: Abstract was ...

08 - In Pea We Nuts

I look at all the online music maps, and all the retailer recommendations, but I still didn't learn about Barcelona's The Pinker Tones until I was at my neighbor's house and they were playing on his stereo (that's the boxlike device that sits on a...

Skeewiff - Light the Fuse

I haven't been very impressed with many online retailers' recommendation systems. Amazon, for instance, keeps suggesting to me items that I have already bought from them; it's a safe bet that I'll like it, but it's not a safe bet that I'll buy a ...

Big Organ Trio - Road Rage

I thought I was done with the Cruisin' thread, but I just picked up the debut album by LA's slyly-named Big Organ Trio and "Road Rage" cried out for inclusion. Mike Mangan mans the B3 here, getting an almost guitar-like sound on his leads via a w...

06 - Breathless

Anyone who's spent any time looking for music that is both fast and funky has found that 1970s car-chase music, with its relentless hi-hats, wah-wah guitars, and frenetic basslines, will score every time. Then you find yourself spending hours loo...
