From the musically magical year of 1976 one of my favourite fusion albums of all time again, probably already well enough known not to need more exposure. First of all that cover is just awesome and unbelievable. I'm reminded so vividly of all those pulp sci-fi novels I gobbled up in my childhood. In their imaginations those writers came up with just about every imaginable crazy situation philosophy and astronomy could ever dream up in this heaven and earth, Horatio. Virtually nothing you can today come up with hasn't been thought of already in the past minds of those authors, although still writers are replicating the same concepts first created a lifetime ago.
But back to the music. The depth of invention here is just stunning. There is emotional resonance and variety in the fusion that just makes it ne plus ultra, one of a kind, unique like so many other masterpieces, the aforementioned Steps, Sway, etc. (haha).

ps. this Great Lp brought to my mind another unjustly overlooked band, phoenix Arizona's Cartoon...Mutant Sounds posted their 3rd lp 'Music From Left Field' many years ago, but I was never able to find anything on their awesome-looking 1st self-titled album from 1982.....
Anyone have a rip a that one to share? Thank You again my friend!!
the three cartoon albums:

thank you so much
ReplyDeleteOh Wow!! Can't believe I missed these!!!
ReplyDeleteThank You so much Julian for the Cartoon Lps!!
Their 1st one has been on my old lists like forever and just kept getting buried.....dam is it sweet! Confirms my suspicions that Cartoon was really the indomitable, uber-prolific & elusive Sun City Girls (circa their essential Horse Cock Pephner, Kalispell, Torch Of The Mystics Lps) joined by one Mr Frank Zappa, and we know his extended cast a musical hoodlums/connections is always bound to appear - where the Master goes, the Circus is bound to follow! ;)
Ahhh the good old days, when dreams were still possible....
now its just the Last Defense against the Shadow......
Good to see a rip of 'A New Place To Live' as well :) good shit!!!
Thank You so much for these :)
...now to sample that Morning Sky - Sea Of Dreams......may have heard that inferior old rip years ago, but no memories exist :)
So really looking forward to that one and will let you know my thoughts :)
....that Lp cover, band name, album title.....speaks to me!!!!
thanks bro :)
