Wax Fang - La La Land
A sight for sore eyes
To the blind would be awful majestic
It would be the most beautiful thing
That they ever had seen!!
Sorry, that song is REALLY popular down here....
Wax Fang - La La Land
My favorite sight for sore eyes lyrics by Tom Waits...A sight for sore eyes
To the blind would be awful majestic
It would be the most beautiful thing

lol, that's much like myself - in our audio circle of young servicemen, we had two reel to reels and everyone of us bought some vinyl and networked outside of our circle borrowing, sharing on loan mostly early rock - then the brothers would want to record some of ours having overhearing our listening sessions and started to excitedly share their favorites influenced by their uncles and parents listening's, telling/teaching us the history of jazz greats as well as the latest evolutions on up to date to Motown production(s) sounds. I was already a Chicago, B.S & T fan of horns, so jazz was an enlightenment which I gravitated to naturally - great fun!The same jazz fans in my college dorm who turned me on to 'Bitch's Brew' also turned me on to 'Crossings', which remains the only non-Miles jazz in my collection. I need to get that on vinyl....
I was getting an edumacation in a lot of things in 1972 while I was at college, most of it not in the classrooms.... But yeah, I was a fan of those horn based bands too. Lighthouse was a really good one if I recall correctly, and they had a super guitarist whose name escapes me at present and I'm too lazy to look it up....lol, that's much like myself - in our audio circle of young servicemen, we had two reel to reels and everyone of us bought some vinyl and networked outside of our circle borrowing, sharing on loan mostly early rock - then the brothers would want to record some of ours having overhearing our listening sessions and started to excitedly share their favorites influenced by their uncles and parents listening's, telling/teaching us the history of jazz greats as well as the latest evolutions on up to date to Motown production(s) sounds.

Guys were always quietly plugged in by headphones jamming out day and nights.
Very soft partying, as a group were all much more interested in the music though, I cannot tell a lie, Sometimes on weekends, big 3 way Pioneer Speakers would be placed in open windows and we would party out on the summers grass. Playing as D.J.'s for the entire Battalion .
But yeah, both "Mwandishi" and "Crossings" were very well produced with space between instruments and notes with blackness of dead air between - hyper Avant-Guard unlike anything else before it was just so remarkably lush and cool improvised expressions.
We were both getting a musical education about that same time (1972)
Happy listening's
Martin Atkins here tooWell produced for a "punk" band (or should that be post-punk - 1984?)
Congrats.Wanted to post this last night , but my phone wouldn’t work at the show. Got to see some live music for the first time in a long time. Ziggy Marley opened up for Tedeschi Trucks Band.
They should change their name to the Tedeschi Trucks Experience, to say I was blown away is an understatement.
And Ziggy was awesome as well. So much great live music in one night!
