Indesperate need of music to get excited about

eddantes

eddantes

Drone, Sector 7-G
I go through periods where my need for music is insatiable - any genre, don't matter - I listen every available moment. But now and again - I get into a funk where nothing interests me. I'm in one of those right now.

So I'm asking the AK community to throw some music at me. If any streaming service has it - I will give it a spin. Don't ask "what do you like" - I'm ready to head into the wilderness.

So whatcha got?

Haven't heard any of these - All good candidates. Lining up the streams. Will be back with comment. (Not that I'm judging your taste in music, it's all individual; just wether or not "I got it")
 
Kraftwerk - The Man Machine. Also the version of "Radioactivity" on "The Mix" album.

Laurie Anderson - Big Science.

Even better (IMHO) on the "live" recording MINIMUM/MAXIMUM.

Have you ever heard any Gil Scott-Heron? How about Deodato? And what about Stuff?

I'm a huge Isaac Hayes fan, but if you like funk, you're already there. And I thought about mentioning Jeff Buckley, specifically his debut and only non-posthumous album, "Grace", but who hasn't heard that one before? And I'm sure you've heard Herbie Hancock's "Headhunters" album before, right? BTW, I prefer the '92 CD over the later version, which has some mastering compression and/or limiting that hampers the dynamics.

Boy, this "Best Of Leon" LP (Leon Russell) sure is great, that's for sure... If you don't have this album, get a copy.

My apologies. Just wanted to say that no listening happened this afternoon.

On my country's birthday, I was cheering like mad for my US neighbours. It was an incredible game! So much heart - I truly was hoping you'd be able to pull it off in the end and at least get it to PKs. Regardless - it was a glorious performance: in the face of a clearly superior opponent US just kept fighting on, right to the last moment. What grand entertainment! You'd better welcome your footballers home with a big reception - they deserve it!
 
Some great suggestions already.

Here's another. This guy I was just reminded of this morning when I saw an article about him on my way back from the Gulf Islands (where he lives) this morning.

Give the album Streamer a listen by Nils Petter Molvaer or how about Tales from the Punchbowl by Primus?
 
Here is a variety of music.....

Punk///Iggy Pop - "Raw Power" and "The Idiot"

????///The Buthole Surfers - "Electric Clarryland" Creative.

Mellow///Al Stewart - "Year Of Cat", "Time Passages" Known for the production values

Violinists - Sarah Chang, Issac Stern, Cho-Liang Lin. If you haven't tried classical, look these artists up for their performances of the works of major composers. The violin, played right, is a very engaging instrument. I began listening to this after decades of rock. A great change. Give it a try.
