Tonight have the headphones on listening to the Paul Slavens show, it's listener suggested deep crap, and usually pretty cool. It's on kxt.com for those who wish to follow at home. After that is over, this on vinyl...
I think Genesis' "Turn It On Again" (1980) was written for cokeheads. Or maybe I'm conflating media because Phil was in an episode of Miami Vice. I think at least the title of Phish's "Fluff's Travels" was inspired by this album's over eight minute "Duke's Travels." This album is really on the outer edge of music I like. It's weird stuff, but every once in a while I feel like I have to give this era of Genesis a listen.

Duke came out in March 1980, and this came out in April 1980: Babe alert! "I'm like Pete Townshend, you know, and I'm all in this pub and drunk and stuff, and you chicks dig me. I have a halo like an angel or Jesus because I wrote 'Baba O'Riley' and you didn't. I suffer for all of us -- now gimme another Remy Martin, you tosser."
One of the few post-Gabriel Genesis albums I like. Unfortunately, I only have the awful latest remaster, which is a menace to the eardrum.

Parker-Guy-Lytton: at les instant chavires Recorded Live 12/19/2007 direct to digital real time to computer disc - the sound quality is incredible. On Parker’s psi label Evan Parker on tenor & soprano saxophones Barry Guy on double bass Paul Lytton on drums/percussion The great trio at or near peak performance - the level of detail and energy is astounding. Virtuosic musicianship but never for the sake of virtuosity. Improvising with a purpose. True non-idiomatic non-melodic on the spot improvising. The 6 to 10 minute full band sections are great but maybe the bass/drums sections are even better. Pinnacle is the middle 38:37 piece with Parker on tenor. Unrelenting unflagging intensity of a sort newer listeners would need to be patient with.

So nice to see some Weather Report love here. They're easy for me to listen to. I fundamentally understand this music on some level.
Utterly beautiful album, and generally ignored. This SACD edition sound wonderful (I still have to check the quadraphonic mix).
This thread needed a bump; we were on like the sixth page. Hey, how about this album? Listening to my original I.R.S. CD (IRSD-5783/JVC-522), not the remaster.
Bennie Wallace - Twilight time. With John Scofield, Dr. John, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Jack DeJohnette, and Eddie Gomez. Out of print on CD now it seems. Texas swampy blues/jazz featuring Bennie on the sax.
