Czech World Searching (?) with Blue Effect


album SVET HLEDACU
[including some kind of apostrophes I don't find]

released 1979
by by then czechoslovakian band Blue Effect [Modrý Efekt]




Live version of RAJKY

The pieces are progressive rock
thereby processing many themes...


The three pieces I so far find most spiritually upliftning, containing  both beautiful and exciting moments are:

ZMOUDRENÍ BABÍM LÉTEM (track 4)

[composed by Lesek Semelka, one of the keyboardists]

ZÁZRAK JEDNÉ NOCI (track 5)

Strange Days with The Doors


Didn't thought I was going to open The Doors again. They never broke through to my full appreciation, but now it seems they do?! (not only the winding organ of Manzarek). Even if publically overshadowed by their first mythical masterpiece, this second album I think feels more spiritually uplifting.

Long Wave with Jeff Lynne


Not until now Lynne's second solo album ever is made. ELO was not only about Beatles, and Long Wave is less about Beatles, rather before. As always lingered in his air but never bloomed completely, Lynne now covers 1950's songs in his very own way. New wave may have been catchier, but seldom something feels as lovely as this old wave.

Drums And Wires with XTC

a perfect capture of the 1979 glimpse of new wave

though I feel XTC could have cut some numbers from this record. Each track is extremely creative, but together they becomes too much information if you listen through whole album. Especially since this band makes no ballad melodies to land upon for a while... the helicopter spins and spins in every kind of rhytm.

The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway with GENESIS


The Who made two rock operas [double concept albums]. Genesis made at least one, in 1974 by their supposed top. I try to realise the greatness of this big effort, but I would emotionally put their very top three years after [just before "And Then There Where Three"]. That would be when Phil Collins had established his role as "captain", some years before they went pop instead of progressive. Even though Peter Gabriel still was "captain" of this british and quite psychedelic portrait of Broadway, also the material is created by the other four (Banks, Hackett, Collins and Rutherford). I adore the end of first album and the beginning of second album much more than the rest, so for my ears they wouldn't have had to make a double.

Ringo with Ringo Starr


Ringo was often made some kind of main star (or main clown) in the Beatles movies, but seldom on their music stage. Three years after Beatles broke up though, Ringo got an own album where he writes as much material as every former companion gives him. The whole pie sounds very good, pleasant, surprising, lazy, maybe a bit satirical but funny and full of love.

FATS DOMINO !!!!


King of New Orleans Rock'n'Roll is pianoplayer Fats Domino, but also the name of a box, a box with four CD's of this Antoine "Fats" Domino.

Every piece is made in the early-middle side of the 50's, when boogie woogie was big. (And I've also realised they work good to do burlesque dance moves to.)

Among the 86 collected bricks, here's the 24 dominoes which I find most nice and get very happy to hear:




most BABY dominoes


1. LITTLE BEE

2. BOOGIE WOOGIE BABY

3. (BABY,) WHEN I SEE YOU

4. THE ROOSTER SONG (AIN'T THAT A SHAME)
(not to be confused with the song with that title)

5. THE BIG BEAT

6. LITTLE SCHOOL GIRL



most BLUE dominoes


7. MY BLUE HEAVEN

8. BLUE MONDAY

9. IF YOU NEED ME

10. CARELESS LOVE

11. BLUEBERRY HILL

12. WHAT'S THE REASON I'M NOT PLEASIN' YOU



most FAT dominoes


13. THE FAT MAN

14. HEY! FAT MAN

15. DON'T BLAME IT ON ME

16. DON'T YOU KNOW? (EVERY DAY I LOVE YOU MORE)

17. HEY! LA BAS BOOGIE

18. THE FAT MAN'S HOP



most BY BYE dominoes


19. AS TIME GOES BY

20. SECOND LINE JUMP

21. I'M WALKING

22. MARDI GRASS IN NEW ORLEANS

23. (ROSALIE,) I CAN'T GO ON

24. WHEN MY DREAMBOAT COMES HOME







Furthermore realise that not just Beatles [McCartney] made some Fats-inspired things. Other way around Domino himself covered some Beatles, like LADY MADONNA, LOVELY RITA and Everybody's got Something to Hide Except for Me And my Monkey, in contemporary years.

This I think is twice as nice as the original:
Domino makes Beatles
much also depening on the female soul choir

A Black Box by Peter Hammill


After his eighth solo album pH 7 (one of P.H.'s more aggressive) Peter returns to something more contemplative in 1980

using synth sounds 'n claviatures more frequent as a wall-to-wall carpet than he peppered pH 7 with. However it's clear to me Hammill is an organist rather than a guitar man.
