"Albums that you are in love with, that no one loves"


  

          

For me, this would be Gal Costa/Caetano Veloso's "Domingo" it is literally one of my favorite albums of all time and I love every single track and it is always in rotation. I have never even met one person, even on the internet, who loves this album as much as me lol

That might be the first vinyl I get that ends up getting the grooves worn out.

Triste Bahia, It's a Long Way, Neolithic Man..just one of the best albums ever. The percussion is ridiculous and the stripped down but intense performances and great arrangements make this a masterpiece of MPB.

Amen to that! I can imagine fans of Riot and Fresh not being into the more hippy vibe of Life (though it's an awesome album too), but there's no excuse for not liking Stand.

I thought Stand! was universally agreed to be a top 2 or 3 album for Sly?

How in the fuck did we arrive at a time & place in the world where a damn near perfect album by a band at the height of their powers is considered lesser than an album or two of the leader of said band burrowed deep in narcotic-induced stupors turning in either a brilliant nightmare noted more for its sloppiness than its precision and effort or a not quite so brilliant and somewhat sedated longplayer?

To answer though, I'm not sure everyone considers that to be the height
of Sly's creativity.... even if they do, that doesn't mean that one would
aesthetically prefer it to the darker TARGO or the more upbeat and happy
DTTM. I'm one of the biggest Slyheads around and I personally prefer
A Whole New Thing, Life, and TARGO.. those would be my top 3 Sly albums,
personally. Don't get me wrong though.. I love Stand! It's just not
even in my top 3 favorite Sly albums. I love almost everything Sly ever released
though.

Anyone who's read a brief bio of Sly Stone would realize that "Stand!", not "Riot", was the height of his creativity. If nothing else, certainly of his sanity, his applied effort, and his cohesiveness. And what of the rest of the band?

Freddie Stone only once topped his riff on "Sing a Simple Song" with the one on "Thank You" that Janet Jackson yanked.

Larry Graham's solo on "I Wanna Take You Higher" is magnificence.

The singing is brilliant. The mixing is (almost) brilliant (third verse of "Higher", I laugh every time). On later records, there damned near is no band - Sly's playing many of the instruments himself, and even if he's not, the band/group dynamic is long gone.


I'm one of the biggest Slyheads around and I personally

I'm not talking about personal favorites so much as general consensus/musical evaluation.

Yeah I've read multiply bios on Sly. I tend to prefer his experimental
and more "artistically free" work over Stand! This would be the albums
AWNT and Life. They actually make for more entertaining listens for me.
When I read why these albums were so different, it made complete sense
to me why I preferred them.


>I'm not talking about personal favorites so much as general
>consensus/musical evaluation.

Oh ok. See, I have a hard time separating aesthetics from music discussion.
We can say "Freddie had the greatest guitar solo ever on Take You Higher"
but that doesn't mean people want to hear the song (though in this case
it does because it's a great song). I'm just saying, you seem a bit
surprised that Stand! isn't universally considered the Opus of Sly
albums. Great mixing and awesome solos don't make songs more relatable.
Other Sly albums just seem to resonate with people more in spite of
Stand! being an awesome album. It could also have something to do with
it being so huge, giving people a reason to feel like they're truly
"down" by being more into the more obscure shit. ionno.

92. "people talk about "Stand!" the same way they do"
In response to Reply # 13


  

          

anything Marvin Gaye recorded before 1970 (which includes, mind you, "Ain't No Mountain High Enough", "How Sweet it Is", and "I HEARD IT THROUGH THE GRAPEVINE", among others) - it's tolerated rather than revered, and pushed aside for discussion about what they _really_ wanna talk about.

While this is often excused with Gaye's stuff with lines about "well, he didn't write it" (oh, and Marvin wrote "What's Going On"?), "he didn't have creative control" (the only one I'll allow), etc. None of those excuses work with Sly & the Family Stone.

I think part of it is a general lack of taste for anything too "rock" sounding, and everything the Family Stone did pre-"Riot" was heavily rock influenced. There's also the unstated idea of praising an auteur over an ensemble - the pre-"Riot" Family Stone albums were actually _Family Stone_ albums, and that they turned out as good as they did depended upon a group effort. The same can't be said of "Riot" and can be said even less about everything that followed.

Maybe it's just the cynicism of the culture that appreciates the cynicism of "Riot" over the optimism of "Stand!" I've heard it said that "Riot" is more "honest", but at the time "Stand!" was put together in late 1968/early 1969, Sly believed in every word of the ideals he sang about on that album. He _was_ that positive, happy person. It was PCP and an increasing delve into coke during the two years that separated the releases that flipped him into the cadaver that appears on later releases. Not that hearing a man who sounds near suicide or overdose can't be fascinating - because on "Riot" and a good bit of "Fresh", it is - but why praise it so much over actual intended achievement?

I mean sure some may say they prefer "TARGO" but that's not the same as not liking it. As for "Life", never hear much about it at all but personally took me awhile to get into since I listened to the albums after first.



>The Temptations - "Cloud Nine", "Psychedelic Shack", "Sky's

I thought ppl loved Psychedelic Soul around here?

I listened to them in order. I don't care if I get flamed for this, but I'll listen to "Life" before I'll listen to "There's a Riot Goin' On" any day of the week.

People around here don't like Motown albums recorded before March 1971.

I haven't came across to anybody that share the same enthusiasm as I do about this debut(and ONLY album): http://www.tradebit.com/usr/mp3-album/pub/9002/567/567375/56737579.jpg

And she vanished from the face of this earth after this album. The ONLY glimmer of hope was that she opened for Chaka early this year, thats how I knew she's still *breathing*. Would def love to hear another album from her.

Oh shit, I'd forgotten about that one! Great debut album. It totally blindsided me - she sounds like a female 80s Prince at times.

McCartney's second solo album RAM from 71 is in my top 5 albums, possible top 3 if I'm lifted and in the middle the 'Ram On > Dear Boy > Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey' stretch, but I don't know many people who even know the album, let alone feel the way I do about it.

(Granted, there's only so "obscure" one can consider an album by one of the most well known artists ever, but I still don't see it getting much love from fans or the media.)

But I'd say one of the best examples is the Polyphonic & Serengeti Terradactyl album. I'm not sure at this point I'd even recommend it to anyone, but I still love it front to back any time I put it on.

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

I think enough people loved them to get reissued:

Howard Johnson's entire A&M solo catalog (KEEPIN' LOVE NEW, DOIN' IT MY WAY, THE VISION)

Stanley Clarke's ROCKS, PEBBLES, & SAND and STRAIGHT FROM THE TOP

Herbie Hancock's 1978-82 records (only MR. HANDS, an album I trumpet here frequently and THE PIANO, which until recently, was a Japan-only acoustic piano release got consistent props over time, SUNLIGHT did post-Dilla)

lately it's been the works of Robert Brookins, like '81's MATINEE by his once-group AFTERBACH (kind of hard to believe he was 19 @ the time that was recorded), and his solo album IN THE NIGHT (@ 24, that's a damn good and mature record).

the works of Pages, a group headlined by Mr. Mister members Richard Page and Steve George, they had three albums from '78-81. On Soulseek, someone messaged me that the had played on those records, and had lost their cassette copies years ago.

I love everything you mentioned, and I intend to keep my ears open for the other stuff I'm not familiar with.

I'll say this though, thank god for Herbie Hancock for MANY things, but in this case thank god he was around to bully/convince Sylvester to sing in his baritone for "Magic Number". I love my falsetto singers, but Sylvester had one of the smoothest baritone voices ever, its a shame he didn't use it alot.

the first time I heard "Magic Number" I opened my eyes wide when I figured out who that actually was singing, and had this same exact thought.

it's funny, because his falsetto voice is his calling card -- but with that baritone, he sounds like a completely different person.

They got a bit of love for this when it came out 8-10 years ago, and everyone has forgotten it exists now. Lots of people were doing the layered pop sound back then and they're Australian, so I guess I can sort of understand it, but I think that album holds up against Summerteeth/YHF era Wilco or Soft Bulletin/Yoshimi era Lips, and kicks the ass of anything Beaulah ever did.

And I'm pretty sure I'm the only person in North America who feels that way.

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

... especially "Onde Eu Nasci Passa Um Rio". Along the same lines of Veloso and Costa, I loved "Doces Barbaros," but i think the supergroup only lasted for that one performance.

but my own immediate pick would be Blu's "HerFavouriteColor", which didnt have enough of the blu people were used to from BTH and such, but really launched his experimentation and exploration with production, which i thought was great on this album (i know its called a "mixtape" but lets be real, its an album). in fact, the song people really grasp from it is Amnesia, which i always felt was a bit differnt from the flow of rest of the album, sorta just placed in there.

23. "also, Kenny Loggins, the solo artist"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

(granted, this is in my age group/demographic, mind you)

when he first went solo (though he has many classics in the Loggins & Messina years), he dropped some albums I just adore.

CELEBRATE ME HOME
NIGHTWATCH
KEEP THE FIRE (<--- is FIYA)
HIGH ADVENTURE
VOX HUMANA
I'm almost there on BACK TO AVALON, though it gets quite Toto FAHRENHEIT-y in spots.

even ALIVE!, his live album in between those joints. Later down the line, LIVE FROM THE REDWOODS, RETURN TO POOH CORNER, etc. I don't think he ever had it.

I think his '80s (and really most of his solo career) legacy is more the movie soundtrack themes ("Danger Zone", "Footloose", the Caddyshack song, etc) than anything else...

But that initial '77-85 run is great to me. Lots of deep cuts, some hilarity, and I think that because I really got into these records when I came of age, that I'm so sentimentally attached to them.

logged on to OKP. It really wasn't what the Hiero heads wanted at the time, but the album was still very dope because it still had a strong Bay Area aroma. He really should have been "Lee Majors" out the gate instead of "Snupe". Also as dope as Hiero was he might have benefited from a different crew affiliation.

Never got anyone to give a damn about these two, meanwhile they are easily some of the most impactful albums I heard in the past five years.

39. "Meditations is probably my favourite Coltrane-album..."
In response to Reply # 35


          

He doesn't solo much on it which means that it will probably never be as lauded as many of his other albums but in terms of just the music it's extremely powerful.

My favourite Fleetwood Mac album is "They play on" from '69 and that's another record not many people care for; the slick pop/rock-FM is not my thing...

maybe that is why even fans of coltrane don't mention it alot. well that and the opener.

I'll look for this Fleetwood album you mentioned from 69. This is from their more bluesy period right?

45. "It's a transitional album..."
In response to Reply # 44


          

It contains some blues-rock (including a lenthy jam that *might* bore you to tears; I dig it a lot though) but also mellow acoustic songs, hard-rock and strange instrumentals in the vein of "Albatross". It's a bit of a mess but it's a really cool record even if it would have been better if they included their non-album singles from the same era.

BTW, an obscure, mellow Fleetwood Mac song I *LOVE*: Dragonfly http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0qvH_UisaM It never appeared on any of their regular albums to my knowledge and I only heard it on some budget german singles comp.

Although really it's b/c of the Buckingham songs. They/he could have just released those tracks and it would have been a masterpiece in my opinion. Those songs are so good they got me to buy 3 of his solo albums which, to this day, I've yet to listen to.

49. "Useless bonus-trivia regarding Tusk..."
In response to Reply # 46


          

For some reason, it became EXTREMELY hip in Gothenburg indie-circles in the earlier part of the last decade which is quite funny since I've always (=since I was a kid) found that record for practically nothing in second-hand stores. All of a sudden, it became expensive and even rare here in stores. Maybe there was some Pitchfork writeup or something? I can admit that I never even heard it based on my dislike of "Rumors" and "Fleetwood Mac" (the album) as well as the shitty songs from "Tango in the night" that were hits when I was young. Maybe I should check it out...

BTW, the same thing happened with ELO's double "Out of the blue" around the same time (and no, I've never heard that album either even if I have heard the hits of course)...

That's weird that it's so hard to find. Along w/ Bare Trees, it's easily the Fleetwood Mac album I come across the most when I'm digging. Generally it's about $6 or so, even in great condition. Maybe I should buy every copy I find from now on and list them on http://www.eim.ebay.se/

You might not like it. It's in the same vein as Rumours and the self-titled album that preceded that, with the exception of the Buckingham songs. Buckingham went with lo-fi songs he made "at home" by himself. I'm not sure if he actually made them at home, but that's the way they sound and what journalists always say. They sound sort of punk/post-punk, except for the track Tusk which features a marching band.

In response to Reply # 35


  

          

Doesn't really have a big hit, but outside of Angel, and Think About Me, the songs on this album are pretty strong.

There cover of Farmer's Daughter was dope too. Good to hear the three vocalists harmonizing throughout the track.

37. "The Rolling Stones "Their Satanic Majesties Request""
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

Everybody seems to focus on the fact it was their attempt at Sgt. Pepper's, which it is. But it's still has the Rolling Stones sound to it. I mean if this was on any other album it'd be considered a classic http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-VroHdISZM . The only time I've seen it get any sort of sign of approval or appreciation was when Wes Anderson used "2000 Man" at the end of Bottle Rocket. Otherwise it's looked at as a failed experiment that could have ruined their career.

In response to Reply # 38


  

          

though I hear what zuma's saying in terms of the sound of 'Citadel', think it's the rawness of the riff it centers around, it could have fit on Beggar's or Exile (not enough of a fully-realized/dynamic song to have made the cut on Let It Bleed or Sticky).

40. "Black Flag's "Loose Nut" & "Slip It In""
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

Apparently Henry Rollins ruined Black Flag and "Damaged" was good (The only good thing he did to most) but old Black Flag was 1000 x better. Personally not a huge fan of the stuff before "Damaged" but love "Damaged" and most of the albums after. There were a few failed experiments but "Loose Nut" & "Slip It In" are both top-notch albums imo. Always found it weird that ppl hate on their change of sound/style but love the bands that were heavily influenced by it and recognize the influence.

41. "I like Slip it in..."
In response to Reply # 40


          

Don't care too much for "Loose Nut" though even if it's not bad. "My War" is probably the best of the latter albums.

Of course, the "Live in 1984" record has most of the songs from both "My War" and "Slip it in" in better versions so the two albums are a bit redundant to me. Additionally, there is the 82 demos bootlegs which also sound better than the albums IMO...

The problem with later Black Flag albums has less to do with the music and more to do with the sound/production; it's sterile and tame *and* lo-fi at the same time; not a good combo... "Damaged" and the earlier stuff sounds so raw and crushing by comparison...

I like "My War" but it comes off as a transition album. Like they're searching for a new style, sorta got it ("My War" is probably one of my top 5 fav BF songs) but it's not fully there ("Scream" comes off as a more forced and theatrical version of "Damaged I").

I'm all about "Who's Got The 10 1/2?", that's probably one of my favorite live albums of all-time. They make every song as intense as possible, especially the stuff off of "Loose Nut".

>The problem with later Black Flag albums has less to do with

The production is a bit weird since it's low-budget "polished" lol. So it can sound nice and clean but recorded in a tin can. But I'd say that while some get ruined or brought down by this a lot of them are neutral ("Drinking & Driving") or over come it ("My Ghetto").

the rumor is that it isn't actually made by scientist nor tubby, but by two belgian dub enthusiasts who made it with haxed vsts and shit and managed to convince a shoddy label that it was lost tapes from tubby.

I need some serious confirmation on the validity of the rumor though.

I take my dub pretty seriously.

don't be fkn evil.

this album still gets rotation from me, and im still shocked it didnt get more attention from the mainstream. this album flopping is why the bep's sound is super electro-pop/lame now.

will's beats used to have some soul, and now he's just re-hashing that synth 808s bullshit.

I bought it on vinyl for like 4 bucks lol. Crazy how "I Can't Wait" ended up being Estelle's "American Boy". The Lost Change project he did for BBE was pretty dope too. I mean, Will has demonstrated that he got some shit, but in the end I guess he's going for the surest, safe bet a la today's BEP sound.

I'm gonna go with Zwan- Mary Star of the Sea, I absolutely love this album, I love the sunny vibe and if you ask me Jesus I/Mary star of the sea is probably one of the best songs ever made. Shame they fell out so acrimoniously as I would gladly hear anything else they made.

I'd also say Finding Forever by common- I'm not sure I love it as much as I did anymore, but when that first came out, that was on repeat for a good month or 2 and I still love quite a few of the songs on there.

Hip hop is dead- Nas- going beyond the shock value of the title, this album still has some of my favourite Nas songs of recent memory.

I feel the same way about Streets Disciple. It might be a little bloated as a double album, but I still feel like 75% of it was great.

Except from a few people on this website (me included) and most of the professional reviewers, I think this album caught a major L but I really love it, I still listen to it at times !

"You Complete Me" is the ENTIRE shit, "Her" is my jam on there, and I just got the "Secret Love" Remix import CD single in the mail last month.

I've been listening to a self-titled album by this Japanese group called Nabowa. It's not their only album, but the only one I know, and I doubt I'm the only one listening but I haven't really seen much coverage of them, just gave it a try after being impressed by clips on Juno.

Have seen them described as a jam band, but album sounds more produced/arranged than the 'live-in-the-studio' recording I associate with that genre --- and combined with elements of dub/reggae, hip-hop, jazz, rock, comes across more genre-less than anything.

Instrumentation includes prominent use of a violin player, capable of fast, show-y stuff but more often than not playing long, lonesome notes, often with a touch of delay and reverb, suited to the album's generally gentle mood, melancholy and joyful simultaneously. Other instruments include bass/percussion/guitar, but also melodica, occasional turntable, steel drums.

One of a couple vocal tracks on the album, not entirely representative of the whole, not necessarily my favorite, but nice:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GSI4x85Z2k

some additional clips available in the player at the juno website:

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

The strings on that album are so great. And they couldn't have been implemented at a better point since the sound the group was known for was gone for good.

Wishful Thinkin' brought me to tears when I first heard it. That's some shit that doesn't happen.


Sure this album isn't a part of that classic run (Stand/Greatest Hits/TARGO/Fresh) but there's still some heat on it:

Say You Will
Time For Livin'
Can't Strain My Brain
Loose Booty(!!!!)

This album is good.


And yes, I'm avoid that talk about Stand....Stand is perfect. Even with Sex Machine in there it is perfect and the most complete album by THE BAND. Of course Sly will be more notorious for TARGO but Sly and the Fam's apex was actually Stand.

...maybe this is why Jeru dropped out of the tour?...will never forget how disappointed I was when I bought tickets, then went to the show and there were signs posted that Jeru would not be performing...mid to late 90's....

In response to Reply # 0


          

From the woman who brought that soul-soaked, husky voice singing in the background of Kweli's For Women. I don't think this album was ever officially released. I paid $10 for it on cdbaby years ago and received a couple promo copies (the first one was scratched to hell). I think she just found a way to unload them when the project was shelved or whatever the hell happened. It should've at least been an OKP classic for a couple months.

I also really love Nittyville. Aside from the Advanced Jazz mix, it's easily my most listened to Medicine Show iteration. I've never come across a "favorite MMS" poll that didn't have it in the bottom 2-3, but I just really love the beats and the general album construction.

It bricked when it first dropped since New Jack Swing was on the outs and Al B's fifteen minutes were dwindling but nevertheless, I know every word, every beat and hold it with the same regard as In Effect Mode, his magnum opus.

125. "I'll stand in this line"

These first 4 songs are almost slow jam perfection.

"Right Now"
"U & I"
"Playing Games"
"Natalie"

And then these 2 are dope as well.

"I Don't Wanna Cry"
"Die for You (ft. Brione Lathrop)"

I agree, this album is right there with "In Effect Mode."

I don't know how this album came up on my radar back in the SoulSeek days but I loved this album for a number of years.

She sings soul / jazz and has a remarkably moving voice.

Funny anecdote. I thought she was Black when the music came on. LOL. It didn't click that she was White until I saw the album cover.

I didn't know anyone, even here, that mentioned Songbird. But yeah, it's a phenomenal album.

But I liked this one alot too. It took a while to grow on me but I wouldn't have minded hearing another 5 or 6 tracks from this session.
