This week, we bow down and raise up the almighty guitar heroes! The foundation of Rock n' Punk n' Metal is the guitar and the amazing sounds that those who wield them can make. How do they make such wonderful noise with metal wires on a piece of wood? There's some kinda voodoo in their hands, and we set off on a journey to raise some of the 70s shredders that you may have forgotten! What's this InObscuria thing? We're a podcast that exhumes obscure Rock n' Punk n' Metal and puts them in one of 3 categories: the Lost, the Forgotten, or the Should Have Beens. This week we discuss all three. Get out your old 70's Guitar Player mags and flip the pages as we discuss some of the most amazing fingers to ever touch a fretboard! Songs this week include: Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush – “Electric Reflections Of War / The World Anthem / The Answer” from Live (1978) Rory Gallagher – “Shadow Play” from Photo-Finish (1978) Tommy Bolin – “Teaser” from Teaser (1975) Robert Fripp – “Disengage II” from Exposure (1979) Wild Horses – “The Rapist” from Wild Horses (1980) Dixie Dregs – “Punk Sandwich” from Night Of The Living Dregs (1979) Alice Cooper – “Devil's Food / The Black Widow” from The Alice Cooper Show (1977) Al Di Meola – “Race With Devil On Spanish Highway” from Elegant Gypsy (1977) Check us out on the Boneless Podcasting Network: https://bonelesspodcasting.com/ Visit us: https://inobscuria.com/ https://www.facebook.com/InObscuria https://twitter.com/inobscuria https://www.instagram.com/inobscuria/ Buy cool stuff with our logo on it: InObscuria Store Check out Robert's amazing fire sculptures and metal workings here: http://flamewerx.com/ If you'd like to check out Kevin's band THE SWEAR, take a listen on all streaming services or pick up a digital copy of their latest release here: https://theswear.bandcamp.com/ If you want to hear Robert and Kevin's band from the late 90s – early 00s BIG JACK PNEUMATIC, check it out here: https://bigjackpnuematic.bandcamp.com/

Amarok c'est le jeudi et l'Ascension c'est toujours un jeudi alors il fallait bien que je fasse un jour une thématique, même pour le moins… approximative !  Rassurez-vous, pas de playlist "religieuse"; mais juste un clin d'œil avec deux morceaux portant ce titre similaire ainsi qu'une musque globalement "aérienne" (avec pas mal de synthétiseurs) et /ou aux noms quelque peu évocateurs :  En ouverture d'émission j'ai choisi un titre tiré d'un livre d'Atrhur C. Clarke qui y décrit un système permettant de faire monter à bord d'un vaisseau spatial (de terriens en exil faisant escale en orbite d'une planète), de l'eau grâce à un câble, opération très sensible ayant pour nom  Ascension et dont  le titre figure sur l'adaptation musicale de ce roman sous le même titre "Songs Of Distant Eatrh" par MIKE OLDFIELD en 1994.  Le second morceau intitulé "Ascension" en fin de programme est effectivement une musique dont le terme se rapporte à la spiritualité, publié en 2021 par le King of the Keybords RICHARD ANTHONY BEAN, tiré de l'album éponyme. Un instrumental épique et chargé d'émotions comme Richard sait si bien le faire ! J'en profite pour vous recommander sa nouvelle production : un album de reprises de de l'un des mentors de Richard, le grand Vangelis, sous le titre Pulstar", dix reprises par le disciple anglais disponible !  Entre ces deux titres, une expérience religieuse. Rassurez--vous, je veux parler de ce titre particulier de KEVIN AYERS ! "Religious Experience",  titre de travail de "Singing A Song In The Morning", 1er single de Kevin Ayers en solo sorti quelques mois après son 1er album "Joy Of A Toy" (1969) dont l'extrait "Eleanor's Cake" était placé en face B ("Singing ..." n'étant pas sur l'album original). Le contexte : Avec ses collègues de Soft Machine qu'il vient de quitter, Kevin a donné un coup de main à l'enregistrement de "Madcap Laughs", 1er album solo de SYD BARRETT, leader et co-fondateur de Pink Floyd dont on connait l'état psychique dans il se trouvait alors et qui avait sérieusement besoin de renforts pour aller au terme de cet album…  Durant ces séances,  Syd va enregistrer une piste de guitare pour Kevin, destiné à son single, piste qui ne sera finalement pas conservée dans le mixage final paru début 1970. Hors en 2003, à l'occasion de la réédition de l'album "Joy Of A Toy", ce fameux single réintitulé "Religious Experience" y est ajouté en bonus avec la piste guitare de Syd ! Un beau témoignage et c'est cette version qui vous était proposée dans ce numéro !  Nous avons quitté provisoirement  les Sujets de sa Majesté pour aller faire un tour en Russie y retrouver le duo SUN Q. Bientôt dix ans que ce duo composé d' Ivan Shalimov et Elena Tiron y fait ses gammes et j'avais eu plaisir à diffuser des extrait de leur album "Myth" en 2023. Sun Q propose habituellement une pop-rock à tendance progressive mais sur ce nouvel opus, ils ont imaginé ce qu'aurait pu être "Mythe" s'il avait été écrit dans les années 80, dans la mouvance new wave, synthpop. "Mythwave" n'est pas un réenregistrement de "Myht" mais un aperçu de ce que sa création aurait pu être dans cet univers hybride entre nostalgie analogique et univers cinématique et futuriste. Le visuel de l'album (sorti aujourd'hui même ! )  représente une pochette de vinyle écorné et je lui souhaite une belle… ascension dans les charts !  Autre nouveauté fort intéressante : "Fields And Worms" par  LUCIE SHAME. Je n'ai découvert cette artiste que cette semaine et même si je m'éloigne des musiques progressives, ce single n'est pas hors de propos dans cette émission, un morceau plutôt "art rock - folk" s'il fallait vraiment lui coller une étiquette mais surtout d'un grande sensibilité. Sa créatrice et interprète a reçue une éducation musicale classique au piano mais très vite, elle s'est découvert une appétence pour la poésie, l'écriture et la composition. Et puis le grunge à l'adolescence. Forte de ce bagage hybride, elle enregistre un album sur un simple magnéto cassette à 17 ans dans sa chambre. Ajoutez une expérience de vie personnelle assez rude et vous avez alors quelques éléments pour comprendre sa musique, un croisement entre classique, P.J. Harvey et Kate Bush et ce titre que je vous proposais donc dans ce numéro, un texte évoquant à la première personne la plongée dans l'au-delà d'une suicidée, pas le titre le plus gai de l'émission je vous l'accorde, mais d'une magnifique sensibilité !  Ce qui est incroyable avec cette émission c'est qu'en la préparant je fais encore des découvertes d'artistes pourtant reconnus mais dont j'étais passé à côté… Alors sachant que cette émission est aussi (un peu) suivie au Québec, j'entend déjà des railleries (justifiées) outre atlantique ! !  JEAN-PIERRE FERLAND y a été célèbre, et même animateur de télé ! Mais évidemment c'est sa musique qui m'a interpellé (grâce aux bons conseils judicieux d'un ami musicien). A ma décharge, son œuvre n'est pas spécifiquement "rock progressif" mais quand même : l'album "Jaune", quelle originalité ! Si la structure musicale n'est pas forcément prog, la subtilité des arrangements, le son, tout en fait un album qui a légitimement sa place ici ! D'ailleurs, on y trouve un certain Tony Levin, bassiste futur membre de King Crimson, tiens donc… mais aussi (entre autres) le guitariste David Spinoza qui sera appelé à jouer entre autres belles collaborations (la liste est trop longue) , sur des albums de McCartney, Lennon et Star. Jean-Pierre nous a quittés en 2024 mais il laisse une belle discographie à (re)découvrir peu importe les genres et notamment "Jaune" cette pépite de 1970 donc l'extrait "God Is An America", titre forcément lié au thème de ce numéro mais surtout qui n' a jamais sonné aussi juste face aux égos démesurés d'un Donald ou autres dirigeants actuels, laissez moi rire...jaune !   Il y a quelques semaines, une nouvelle pépite est arrivée  : "Autumn" , le nouvel album du multi-instrumentiste normand (entre autres compétences de producteur, auteur de musique de films) EMMANUEL QUENNEVILLE. A l'inverse de son dernier album "Dôme" qui nous avaient envoyés dans l'espace, ce nouvel opus sonne plus près de nous pauvres pécheurs mais reste aussi pas certains côtés, un album encore aérien (Si vous êtes aficionados de la musique oldfieldienne, vous noterez les influences dans le jeu de guitare d'Emmanuel qui lui confère aussi cet aspect). Plus lyrique aussi, il invite tant à l'introspection qu'au voyage intérieur  (je vous recommande une belle séance d'écoute au casque , imparable ! ).  En bonus, la superbe pochette de l'album digne de la célèbre maison Hipgnosis (à qui l'on doit notamment la plupart des pochettes de Pink Floyd),mais c'est à sa fille Clem qui a réalisé ce beau visuel, image garantie sans intelligence artificielle ! Enfin, sans citer tous les collaborateurs de ce bel album, mais au moins quand même :  Lambert Wilson et Pedro Almodovar ! Le cinéma dans vos oreilles !  Désolé si j'ai plombé l'ambiance avec le single de Lucie Shame, mais je réitère avec histoire de femme découverte dans son appartement londonien trois ans après sa mort. Le talentueux STEVEN WILSON s'est inspirée de cette tragédie symptomatique de notre société d'isolement derrière l'apparence d'être connectés… Le 4ème album solo du fondateur de Porcupine Tree basé sur ce triste fait ...d'hiver social est juste entré parmi les indispensables de ma discographie. Extrait dans ce numéro de "Hand Cannot Erase" sorti en 2015. Je vous rappelle qu'en 2026, Steven Wilson se produira en concert uniquement pour deux dates uniques  : 28 et 29 octobre au prestigieux Royal Albert Hall avec chœur et orchestre, avis aux fans !   Le multi-instrumentiste et producteur anglais BRENDAN PERKINS vient de publier un nouvel album intitulé "Trading River Songs qu'il décrit comme "rock progressif pastoral et symphonique". Je l'en remercie car cela m'évite d'avoir à trop me creuser la tête pour le décrire, oui j'aime bien aussi profiter des jours fériés ! Cela dit, je vous confirme que la description est correcte, j'ajouterai qu'à l'instar d' "Autumn" d'Emmanuel Quenneville, cet album gagne à être écouté en immersion et sous casque. Le titre éponyme proposé ce soir évoque les épreuves d'une famille qui va retrouver son statut de "clan". Vous avez les infos : montez le son !  Pour revenir au thème de notre émission, pas possible de passer à côté de la Genèse, autrement dit GENESIS ! L'occasion de revenir sur cet album (double et pas expresso s'il vous plait ! ) de 1974 : "The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway". Un album remarquable et ultime participation de Peter Gabriel qui s'est vu offrir (l'album, pas Peter ! ) à l'occasion de ses 50 ans une cure de remasterisation augmentée d'un live d'époque et de quelques goodies dans un somptueux coffret. Bon encore des sous à dépenser mais c'est vrai que  50 ans ça se fête  ! Le problème c'est que cette époque bénie du rock progressif regorge de rééditions sous formes d'onéreux coffrets depuis quelques années. On devrait être plus tranquille et faire des économies à la fin de la décennie !  Avant de refermer cet épisode et reprendre l'Ascension avec Richard Anthony Bean, un petit tour en Australie avec un groupe au nom un peu à rallonge : THE SEA NOT HAVE  THEM (du nom d'un film de guerre anglais et devise de l'unité de secours de la Royal Air Force). Mais revenons à ce qui nous intéresse ici, la musique. TSNHT (c'est plus facile ! ) propose un post-rock ambient qui se caractérise par un juste équilibre entre un son puissant, énergique et des sonorités aériennes. Finalement on peut faire une analogie avec la Royal Air Force ! Cette formation m'était inconnue mais je suis tombé dessus (pas de mon Hawker je vous rassure ! ) en suivant l'actu de leurs compatriotes ORPHANED BEE, projet qui propose un mélange de synthwave et de rock psychédélique et que j'ai déjà eu l'occasion de vous présenter ici. Le single "No Breathing In Dreams" vient donc d'être publié par TSNHT mais en collaboration pertinente et réussie avec les Orphaned Bee. Le temps de gagner en altitude pour une Ascension finale, promis je reviens sur Terre jeudi prochain à 20h !  Thierry Joigny AMAROK, chaque jeudi à 20h

What happens when a tree destroys your home and studio - and it leads you to a new creative life across two continents?In this episode, I talk with Ronan Chris Murphy, the world-traveling producer, engineer, and artist known for his work with King Crimson, Steve Morse, and Tony Levin, and for teaching hundreds of musicians how to finish their records through his Recording Bootcamp and RIPA Festival of International Sound.Ronan shares how losing his home and studio in the mountains north of Los Angeles became a turning point that reshaped his creative life - leading him to rebuild from scratch in the Berkshires of Massachusetts and a medieval hill town in Italy. We dig into how his surroundings inspire creativity, how he balances his own artistic work with client projects, and why finishing creative ideas matters more than chasing perfection.We also talk about building community through workshops and retreats, finding joy in collaboration, and creating music that connects people across cultures. Along the way, Ronan offers hard-won advice on protecting your studio and data, trusting your creative instincts, and staying productive when life throws you curveballs.Ronan's story is a reminder that art, resilience, and curiosity can keep us inspired - no matter where we make our records.Get access to FREE mixing mini-course: https://MixMasterBundle.comTHANKS TO OUR SPONSORS!http://UltimateMixingMasterclass.comhttps://usa.sae.edu/ The next program starts May 11, 2026 https://www.izotope.com Use code ROCK10 to get 10% off!https://www.native-instruments.com Use code ROCK30 to get 1 month free of NI 360!https://www.spectra1964.comhttps://gracedesign.com/https://pickrmusic.com https://RecordingStudioRockstars.com/Academyhttps://www.thetoyboxstudio.com/Listen to the podcast theme song “Skadoosh!” https://solo.to/lijshawmusicListen to this guest's discography on Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7EVNgxULrlqKpykk9MDT8B?si=w9unZYn_QPi8EZp3It6ywwIf you love the podcast, then please leave a review: https://RSRockstars.com/ReviewCLICK HERE FOR COMPLETE SHOW NOTES AT: https://RSRockstars.com/554

Steve Vai is currently on tour across Europe with BEAT, performing alongside Adrian Belew, Tony Levin, and Danny Carey, bringing King Crimson's iconic 1980s music back to the stage. In an exclusive interview with ROCK ANTENNE, he shares how he became part of the band, talks about the incredible talent and professionalism of his bandmates, and expresses his admiration for Tony Levin's on-stage energy. He also opens up about what it's like to spend a lifetime on the road and how important it is to have the right people by your side while touring. Steve Vai goes on to compare his experience with BEAT to his time playing with Frank Zappa, and reveals whether he ever feels the need to take a break from it all.

Text us about this show.It's Stick Men month on Into The Music! We have a set of three interviews with each member of this trio and we're starting them with drummer Pat Mastelotto. Not only has Pat been the drummer for Stick Men for nearly two decades, but he's the longest tenured drummer in the history of legendary prog rock band King Crimson. In the 1980s, he was the drummer for Mr. Mister when they were at their peak with the hits "Kyrie" and "Broken WIngs." His studio session work landed him on a plethora of albums and singles including "I'll Be There For You" (the theme from Friends) by the Rembrandts, XTC's Oranges and Lemons, and releases by Hall & Oates, The Pointer Sisters, Al Jarreau, Scandal, and more.

In this episode I explore Zazu, the 1986 debut (and still the only) album by American model, singer, and songwriter Rosie Vela.The album was produced by Gary Katz, best known for his work with Steely Dan. Donald Fagen also appears on keyboards and Walter Becker on guitar across several tracks. Legendary session musician Tony Levin also contributes, playing Chapman Stick on the songs Tonto and the title track Zazu. Critically, the album was well received but despite the positive reviews, it struggled commercially in the United States. In the UK the album reached No. 20 on the UK Albums Chart, while Magic Smile also entered the UK Top 30. After being out of print on CD for nearly two decades, the album finally returned in 2011 thanks to a reissue from Cherry Red.I do hope you enjoy this episode.Mathew Woodallhttps://www.facebook.com/share/1F15mx4ea3/https://buymeacoffee.com/lownoiseWhy buy me a coffee?Low Noise is proudly ad-free.

En 1977, deux potes quelques peu accrocs se soutiennent mutuellement et artistiquement. Ainsi David Bowie va produire au célèbre château d'Hérouville et à Berlin un IGGY POP qui vient de quitter les Stooges. C'est la fameuse période de la trilogie berlinoise pour le premier et une émancipation réussie pour le second dont le premier album "The Idiot" sera à juste titre bien accueilli, comme le beau bébé en ouverture de ce numéro !  Retour en 2026 (merci au Kid de m'avoir prêté sa Dolorean ! ) pour la sortie d'un album "évènement" comme on dit, puisqu'il s'agit du 2ème album solo du guitariste et membre fondateur des Spock's Beard, j'ai nommé ALAN MORSE. En Solo donc mais fort bien accompagné, par exemple par son frère Neal, ou encore Simon Phillips,Tony Levin (qui fait un joli doublé dans ce numéro ! ).  En France aussi on peut se réjouir de talents actifs, pour preuve je vous emmène dans le Jura découvrir le nouvel album de MESSALINE, groupe réputé et à juste titre,  qui (sous leur ancienne dénomination "Absurds") a eu l'honneur de faire des 1ère parties prestigieuses comme Ange ou encore Porcupine Tree... "Alias Lilith", tel est le nom du nouvel album....indispensable !  Depuis le décès du batteur et parolier Neil Peart en 2020, il semblait à priori évident que le trio canadien de RUSH mettent un point final à une déjà bien belle carrière...Mais c'était sans compter sur la détermination du duo Lee - Lifeson qui a finalement décidé de partir en tournée refaire vivre la légende, aidé par la talentueuse batteuse allemande Anika Nilles. Selon le communiqué de la formation, il s'agit de rendre hommage à Neil mais aussi d'ouvrir une nouvelle voie rythmique pour le groupe, alors comment ? Lives, nouvel album ? Comptez sur moi pour vous tenir au courant et en attendant vous pourrez les voir sur scène à Paris le 19 février 2027, on en reparlera forcément d'ici là. Retour dans cette émission sur l'album "Test For Echo" de 1996...tiens l'année de naissance de votre radio préférée !! Un autre artiste qui nous manque et qui a toujours une place de choix dans mes cages à miel, pour son talent, sa sensibilité et disons le, pour avoir mis le pied à l'étrier d'un certain Mike Oldfield, le fondateur des Soft Machine KEVIN AYERS. Ici sur son 5ème album depuis son départ de la Machine (qui sort un nouvel album le mois prochain, on y reviendra vous pensez bien ! ), "The Confusion Of Doctor Dream And Other Stories" en 1974. J'évoquais la participation de Tony Levin pour sa participation au nouvel album d' Alan Morse, le revoici, certes un peu plus jeune (en 1981) au sein de sa formation d'emploi, KING CRIMSON, alors réactivée après un silence radio de quelques années. Le retour du patron Robert Fripp et ses amis se fera sous le sceau... de la "Discipline" !  Retour dans l'hexagone, plus précisément du côté de Surgères, on est pas très loin de La Rochelle et surtout de St Palais, haut lieu de rencontre annuelle du rock progressif ! Et d'ailleurs on aimerait bien y retrouver un jour ces talentueux amis d'enfance : TOM BENARD ET ANTO. Je dis duo mais Tom Bénard et Anthony Machet ont su aussi s'entourer de musiciens expérimentés pour les soutenir et le résultat est une franche réussite ! POLARIS est un album pour les aficionados de fusion mais qui reste accessible à tous (évidemment pour peu qu'on écoute autre chose que de la variété ! ) et j'espère que l'extrait diffusé dans ce numéro vous donnera l'envie de les découvrir et de le faire savoir autour de vous : oui nos régions ont du talent !! Direction la Suède. A l'instar d'Alan Morse, HASSE FRÖBERG est lui aussi guitariste et membre fondateur d'une institution du prog (en l'occurrence les Flowers Kings) et je vous offre une tranche de son 2ème projet solo connu sous le nom raccourci de HFMC (pour Hasse Fröberg & Musical Companion) " et son album "Powerplay" initialement paru en 2012. Depuis d'autres productions sont parues mais celle-ci vient tout juste de faire l'objet d'une réédition (son remasterisé et titres live en bonus) alors ne boudons pas notre plaisir de revisiter cet opus !      Une petite touche folk anglaise avec JETHRO TULL et son éternel joueur de flute Ian Anderson qui en 2017 a réactivé la formation après quelques productions solo. Je dis réactivé mais il s'agit plus de redonner le nom de cette prestigieuse entité à une nouvelle formation, ce qui n'enlève rien à la qualité du dernier album "Curious Ruminant" sorti il y a un an. Mais dans ce numéro je vous propose de faire plus "vintage" et d'évoquer "Stormwatch" sorti en 1979, un petit joyau !  Malgré un "hit" archi diffusé ("Sympathy" en 1970), RARE BIRD n'est pas le groupe de rock progressif le plus souvent évoqué alors que leur son en était parfaitement représentatif dans cette décennie glorieuse pour ce genre musical... Sans doute ce titre fut trop "réducteur", ne laissant pas imaginer au "progueux" ce qu'il y avait derrière et inversement, les amateurs de pop et variété ont peut-être été déstabilisés en voulant creuser la production de ce groupe... Toujours est-il qu'écouter par exemple l'extrait de l'album "As Your Mind Flie By", permet de se faire quand même une bonne idée du son rock prog des 70's ! Réhabilitons ce groupe nom de Zeus ! Et pour clôturer en beauté ce 256ème épisode en direct d'Amarok, retour sur le dernier album en date du groupe ARENA, "The Theory Of Molecular Inheritance", sorti il y a déjà 4 ans. Profitons encore de la voix de Damian Wilson car ce dernier rend son tablier et quittera la formation après une série de concerts qui seront donnés en fin d'année, cédant ensuite le micro à son prédécesseur de retour au bercail Paul Manzi... vous suivez ? Et si on se mettait à espérer un nouvel album d'ici l'année prochaine ? En attendant, live long and prosper !!  Thierry Joigny Chaque jeudi, à 20h

In biology and genetics, hybrids are the offspring of two different subspecies, genera, or families of plants or animals. Nature creates hybrids randomly as part of natural selection; humans do it deliberately and call it "selective breeding." Often the hybrids that result are stronger than the natural offspring, and we call that "hybrid vigor." In music, hybrids (or fusions) result from thinking outside the box, creating new combinations of genres, styles and instruments. As you'll hear on this transmission of Hearts of Space called HYBRIDS, the results are often surprising, satisfying and...vigorous. Music is by BRUCE KAPHAN, ROBERT RICH, NELSON FOLTZ & TOM LYNN, MICHAEL BROOK, JAZZCOMPUTER.ORG, BILL LASWELL & TOSHINORI KONDO, FORREST FANG, JON HASSELL, and TONY LEVIN.

This past week has been one of the bigger musical challenges of my career when I was asked to sub for one of my all-time bass heroes Tony Levin in the band Stick Men. This episode takes a look at the process of learning their show in less than two days, transcribing and charting all the music, and playing 9 note phrases over an 11/4 time signature. It was a real highlight of my year to be trusted by these exceptional musicians, to be able to complete the assignment, and most importantly to have a fun and musically fulfilling time doing it. We of course wish Tony a speedy recovery, and the band a successful conclusion to their west coast tour this month.Be sure to check out the band and their tour dates.More soon, Janek Get full access to Janek's Newsletter at janekgwizdala.substack.com/subscribe

This week we're discussing every remaining album by legendary prog rock band King Crimson. This episode tackles 1981 - 2003, where KC mainstays Adrian Belew and Tony Levin first join the group. Despite some moments that are a bit dated (specifically in the production), Robert Fripp and company continue to surprise us with their sheer audacity in their songwriting. Maybe these albums aren't perfect, but they sure are impressive.   Intro/Overview 00:00 Discipline 11:13 Beat 27:15 Three of a Perfect Pair 36:39 THRAK 50:18 The ConstruKction of Light 1:11:34 The Power to Believe 1:26:42 What are they up to now? 1:39:13   ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   Patreon https://www.patreon.com/everyalbumever   Merch https://pandermonkey.creator-spring.com/   Mike's EP: Pander Monkey on Bandcamp, Spotify, Apple,   Mike on Instagram @pandermonkey Alex on Bluesky @octatron3030 Tom on Instagram @tomosmansounds   History Tom's stuff: Music on Spotify, Apple Podcast on Spotify, YouTube Substack Website   ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   Mike's Picks: Discipline (1981) -- Best Album THRAK (1995) -- Personal Favorite The Power to Believe (2003) -- Worst Album, Least Favorite   Alex's Picks: The ConstruKction of Light (2000) -- Best Album, Personal Favorite Beat (1982) -- Worst Album, Least Favorite   Albums we discussed this episode...

Send us a textGet Ready To Groove: Why Brass Camel Is The Band You Need To Know About Right Now!#newmusic #progrock #progfunk #camel #newalbum After successfully criss-crossing Canada three times on the strength of a word-of-mouth reputation and a hard-earned live following, Vancouver-based Brass Camel return with their second full-length record: Camel. Clocking in at 40 minutes across just six tracks, the album is an unapologetic artistic statement from a band whose sound resists easy classification—equal parts progressive rock ambition and deep-pocket groove, with no shortage of swagger, surprises, and soul.Their self-styled “prog-funk” sound may raise eyebrows on paper, but as multiple Grammy-winner Fantastic Negrito put it: “They sound like a funky Rush.” Or, as Big Sugar frontman Gordie Johnson (who also guests on the record as the group's Zappa-tinged “cat whisperer”) once declared, “Brass Camel…man, they're good worldwide.”Following their 2022 debut Brass, the band doubled down—both on the road and in the studio. Camel is the result of that momentum: two 11-minute bookends, four shapeshifting shorter tracks, and zero interest in playing it safe.Website: https://www.brasscamel.ca/epkInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/brasscamelFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/brassycamelApplemusic: https://music.apple.com/ca/artist/brass-camel/1629161926Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/59HNn8uI1RIbWzmPUy5pFm?si=54e041a98f934c34&nd=1&dlsi=aa86680918574875Bandcamp: https://brasscamelband.bandcamp.com/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@UCx1fnIXz40ZxIBAWmmjXtjg TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@UCx1fnIXz40ZxIBAWmmjXtjg Thanks for tuning in, please be sure to click that subscribe button and give this a thumbs up!!Email: thevibesbroadcast@gmail.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/listen_to_the_vibes_/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thevibesbroadcastnetworkLinktree: https://linktr.ee/the_vibes_broadcastTikTok: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMeuTVRv2/Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheVibesBrdcstTruth: https://truthsocial.com/@KoyoteFor all our social media and other links, go to: Linktree: https://linktr.ee/the_vibes_broadcastPlease subscribe, like, and share!

By 1980, Pete Townshend was 34 or 35, regarded as a true legend of rock music and a revered songwriter. He was one of the true pied pipers of rock n roll. The only problem was, there was no such thing as a middle-aged rock star. In 1978, the death of Keith Moon hit him hard and put in the question the future of The Who. Punk music was railing against old bands like The Who and while Pete was with them in spirit, he realized that they may have had a point. Meanwhile, Pete was battling alcohol and heroin addictions while his marriage to his first wife was on the rocks. He was looking for spiritual fulfillment and yearning for peace of mind. But out of all that came Empty Glass, a marvelous album with vivid melodies, personal lyrics and Pete Townshend's heart on his sleeve. He dedicated the album to his wife, Karen, and some of the songs could be in her voice. Pete takes on the personality of different people to get his points of view across with lyrics that can be ambiguous but deeply personal. The opening track Rough Boys is seen by some as a coming out for Townshend but it's a rockin' way to kick off a record. The alltime great Let My Love Open The Door is an instant pick me up that outsold the platinum (in the US) Empty Glass several times over and remains a favorite for movie soundtracks aimed at the children of the 1980s. But songs like I Am An Animal and I Moved showcase Pete's softer side before the ranting Jools and Jim aimed at authors who dismissed Keith Moon's death as inevitable and even warranted. Keep On Working shows Pete trying to channel The Kinks and A Little Is Enough may have been a minor hit but Townshend regards it as one of the best songs he's ever written. The title track is a man desperate for his soul to be saved, an empty vessel looking for someone to fulfill him. Would he ever find that peace? Would any of us? It's a strong record with incredible melodies with killer musicians like Simon Phillips, Tony Levin and Pete himself arranging the songs into beautiful classics. This was a fun one to do and if you don't know the album, we think you're gonna like it.

Meanwhile, Pete was battling alcohol and heroin addictions while his marriage to his first wife was on the rocks. He was looking for spiritual fulfillment and yearning for peace of mind. But out of all that came Empty Glass, a marvelous album with vivid melodies, personal lyrics and Pete Townshend's heart on his sleeve. He dedicated the album to his wife, Karen, and some of the songs could be in her voice. Pete takes on the personality of different people to get his points of view across with lyrics that can be ambiguous but deeply personal. The opening track Rough Boys is seen by some as a coming out for Townshend but it's a rockin' way to kick off a record. The alltime great Let My Love Open The Door is an instant pick me up that outsold the platinum (in the US) Empty Glass several times over and remains a favorite for movie soundtracks aimed at the children of the 1980s. But songs like I Am An Animal and I Moved showcase Pete's softer side before the ranting Jools and Jim aimed at authors who dismissed Keith Moon's death as inevitable and even warranted. Keep On Working shows Pete trying to channel The Kinks and A Little Is Enough may have been a minor hit but Townshend regards it as one of the best songs he's ever written. The title track is a man desperate for his soul to be saved, an empty vessel looking for someone to fulfill him. Would he ever find that peace? Would any of us? It's a strong record with incredible melodies with killer musicians like Simon Phillips, Tony Levin and Pete himself arranging the songs into beautiful classics. This was a fun one to do and if you don't know the album, we think you're gonna like it.

Folks, we're stretching a bit on this one.  Lynch noticed that Roger Waters performed "The Wall" at the Berlin wall in this month, and used that as an excuse to feature A Momentary Lapse of Reason, which was the latest studio album by Pink Floyd. Since that originally came out in 1987, we're asking you to squint a bit to see it's relevance to the summer of 1990.  That being said...A Momentary Lapse of Reason is the first Pink Floyd album released after bassist and primary songwriter Roger Waters left the band.  Waters had expected that Pink Floyd would simply disband, and was surprised when David Gilmour and Nick Mason decided to continue without him.  Acrimony and lawsuits appeared, but in the end a Water-less Pink Floyd continued on.Unlike many prior Pink Floyd albums, this one is not playing off a single concept.  Instead, it is a more traditional collection of songs.  Gilmour presented the album as a return to earlier Pink Floyd material, which was perhaps a reaction to common critiques of their previous album "The Final Cut" as a Roger Waters solo effort masquerading as a Pink Floyd album.  There are a number of well-known session musicians that participated in the making of this album.The album was a commercial success, debuting at number 3 on both the US and UK albums charts.  The US tour was the most successful of the year, selling out almost every venue it played in the States.  Roger Water's lawsuits would be overcome, and a settlement was reached between Waters and the band by the end of 1987.Lynch brings us this Pink Floyd reboot album for today's podcast and we're joined by guest host Julie Doran joins us on this episode. On the Turning AwayThis power ballad was co-written by Gilmour and British experimental composer Anthony Moore.  It is an anti-war song, one of the more political Pink Floyd songs written since the departure of Waters. It begins with a solemn Gilmour vocal supported by understated keyboards, then builds to an almost orchestral conclusion.  Learning to FlyA surprisingly upbeat song for the group, the inspiration for this first single is David Gilmour's experience learning to fly airplanes.  At the time he would do practice flights in the mornings and work in the studio in the afternoons.  It is also a metaphor for the band coming back together after splitting with Roger Waters.One SlipThe fourth US single discusses the long-term consequences of a one-night stand, and contains the lyrics that would become the title to the album as a whole.  Gilmour co-wrote this song with Roxy Music guitarist Phil Manzanera.  Fans of bassist Tony Levin may recognize his work on a Chapman Stick in the instrumentation for this track.  ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Real Wild Child by Iggy Pop (from the motion picture “Problem Child”)This dark comedy starring John Ritter follows the trials of Ben Healy Jr. as he adopts a less-than-model child from a questionable adoption agency.   STAFF PICKS:Stop by Jane's AddictionWayne leads off the staff picks with a college radio hit off the "Ritual De Lo Habitual" album.  Lead singer Perry Farrell warns about apathy towards environmental disaster, telling people to turn off the smokestacks.  "And the water will run, come a day, the water will run, no man will stand for things he had done."Brave New World by Michael PennRob brings us a jangly deeper cut with a song with rapid fire lyrics off Penn's "March" album.  The song reflects confusion in where the singer is going, perhaps making a commentary on society as it heads into a "brave new world."  "This may not be my best day, but this ain't no golden age.  You looked pretty on the freeway.  Let's drive into the brave new world."Give It Up by Hothouse FlowersBruce features a s song from an Irish group off their second album, "Home."  This song that went to number 2 on the US Modern Rock chart is summed up in the lyrics, "Well, this song's inspired by a good man and his tune doing good for others, sing 'Amazing Grace' for you." Rub You the Right Way by Johnny GillJulie's staff pick is an upbeat hip hop song, and Gill's first single after he left New Edition earlier in the year.  Despite the lyrics, Gill was the son of a minister and got his start in gospel music.  He signed with Motown as a teenager.  Gill had become very accustomed to performing live, and had a difficult time switching to studio work.  Blue Sky Mine by Midnight OilLynch closes out the staff picks with the first single off Midnight Oil's seventh studio album.  The inspiration for the song was the experience of workers in the Wittenoom asbestos mines in western Australia, where they contracted a variety of asbestos-related diseases.  The "blue" in the title refers to "blue asbestos," a form of the mineral considered most hazardous. INSTRUMENTAL TRACK:Erotic Nightmares by Steve VaiGuitar virtuoso Steve Vai carries us out of this week's podcast.

In this episode, I sit down with Grammy winning producer and engineer Kevin Killen. We first interviewed Kevin in episodes 46 and 47, where he talks about his career in recording studios from Dublin to NYC, and working with Peter Gabriel, Kate bush, U2, Elvis Costello, and a host of others. If you haven't already, go check ‘em out. Since then, Kevin has moved to his personal studio, and is teaching as an adjunct professor at the NYU Clive Davis Institute and Steinhardt School. He's also been busy working with the likes of Tony Levin and Cara Dillon, and recording drum sample packs for Toontrack at Peter Gabriel's Real World Studios. Listen in as he catches us up on all of it.

While we're on a brief hiatus from making all-new episodes, we thought it would be fun to compile all the moments where Paul asks his guests "What Was The First Record You Ever Bought?" and put them in a couple of "clip shows." Last week was part one, so here's part two, featuring Shannon Shaw (from Shannon & The Clams), Joey Santiago (from Pixies), Julian Lage, Steve Perry, Slash, The Heavy Heavy, Ben Folds, John Densmore (The Doors), and bass ace Tony Levin (King Crimson, John Lennon and more).

We've developed our On First Listen series to give us a chance to explore albums that we didn't know but had heard about for years. Maybe a friend recommended it, perhaps it was popular at a time in our lives when it slipped past us or maybe we'd seen in on all-time lists. King Crimson's debut fit into the third category as many progressive rock fans hold In The Court Of The Crimson King in very high regard. And with many talented line-ups over the years including Greg Lake on bass & vocals, Ian McDonald on keys and many other things, and Robert Fripp on guitar on this album (with future versions featuring John Wetton, Boz Burrell, Bill Bruford, Tony Levin, Adrian Belew, Mel Collins and many, many more) we figured we'd give it a go. However, while the musicianship is off the charts and they experiment with many keys, times and toys (the new mellotron was driving much of their experimental sound), sometimes it's not terribly listenable. 21st Century Schitzoid Man is abrupt and in your face as a protest to the Vietnam War but isn't a toe tapper. The wistful I Listen To The Wind is 180 degree turn as a lovely ballad but is more than 6 minutes long. And Epitaph, Moonchild (nothing like the Iron Maiden song) and The Court Of The Crimson King though they have moments of beauty and style fail to land in the fun zone. While many will appreciate the music for it's complexity and degree of difficulty, it's not an album you put on in the background of a party. Perhaps our blues based rock brains aren't mature enough to understand but we find 70s era Yes and Genesis far easier to digest and enjoy. Note: We recorded this a year before releasing it as we planned for it to be our first On First Listen but scheduling necessities caused us to leave it on the shelf. We mention that it's 54th anniversary is coming up but as we release this it's the 55th anniversary of original release. And it was before we interviewed director Toby Amies about his fabulous documentary King Crimson: In The Court Of The Crimson King for episode 158.

Baxie talks to the legendary Tony Levin! Since the early 1970's Tony Levin has been one of the most sought-after bass players in history! His accomplishments as a musician are astounding. While he's been primarily known for playing on every Peter Gabriel album, he's also known for his work with King Crimson. On top of that Tony has also lent his amazing talents for more than 500 other albums. And that number continues to grow. These include sessions with John Lennon, Pink Floyd, Paul Simon, Buddy Rich, Stevie Knicks, Warren Zevon, and many others. He is also responsible for popularizing the Chapman Stick. He also been responsible for creating something known as "Funk Fingers" (Which you can hear on Peter Gabriel's "Sledgehammer") Tony has just released a fantastic new solo album "Bringing it Down to the Bass". He's also currently touring with BEAT--a band that includes his former King Crimson bandmate guitarist Adrian Belew (who's been a guest on this podcast), guitarist Steve Vai, and drummer Danny Carey from Tool! BEAT will be playing at the Shubert Theater in Boston on October 10th and at the Bushnell Theater in Hartford on December 3rd. Tony talks about all of that and more! Just amazing!

Full Rig Info: https://www.premierguitar.com/videos/rig-rundown/adrian-belew-2024Visit Eastside Music Supply: https://eastsidemusicsupply.com/Adrian Belew is one of the most inventive guitarists of the past half-century—an incandescent player and songwriter who has a vast menagerie of tones and sounds at his command. You've heard him with King Crimson, Talking Heads, David Bowie, and Frank Zappa, among others, and with his pop band the Bears and on his solo recordings and tours.This fall, Adrian is following dates with the Talking Heads-fueled Remain in Light tour, which he co-led with Heads keyboardist and guitarist Jerry Harrison, with the BEAT Tour—a run drawing on his recordings with King Crimson in the '80s: the albums Discipline, Beat, and Three of a Perfect Pair. Of course, this is just a small—but extremely potent and influential—portion of his 30-year collaboration with Crimson founder Robert Fripp, who has given BEAT his blessing. But putting this repertoire in the hands of Belew, fellow Crimson alum and super-bassist Tony Levin, the incendiary Steve Vai (playing the guitar role of Fripp), and the Earth-shaking drummer Danny Carey from Tool promises magical performances. It's also one of the year's most-anticipated tours.As I write this, Belew, Levin, Vai, and Carey are rehearsing on the West Coast, and by the time this video posts, they will have played their first BEAT dates. So, word is likely to have spread that Belew has brought some crucial pieces of gear he played with '80s Crimson back into play. But here, you'll get a close up look and listen as Premier Guitar joins Adrian—with tech Blair White of Nashville's Eastside Music Supply—at his mid-Tennessee home for a pre-tour Rig Rundown.
