Favoriting Explorers Room with Flash Strap: Playlist from December 7, 2017 Favoriting

Flash Strap's avatar View Flash Strap's profile Favoriting

This is where all of culture and all of time are collapsed into one seductive portal and viewed through the panoramic lens of the exotic. Come and embark on an armchair-travel virtual-voyage to the heart of timeless darkness and beyond; embrace the numinous monolith of the exotic immensity. Let us find that place where hybridization meets its destiny as pure fantasy. Let us become observers observing those others who are ourselves. You wear your mask and I'll wear mine.

Hi NGH! That's a seriously good record, I highly recommend it

I don't think this is where I got mine, but there seems to be a rip here, and I usually get good quality stuff here, so I'd check it out: escavacoes-sonoras.blogspot.com...

Awfully glad to hear it, Geezerette! I don't feel like there's much to celebrate but we have to inspire ourselves with something
Avatar 7:39pm

Hey Doc! We're fine, thanks for asking! So Cal is taking quite a beating. There were always canyon and mountain fires but now they're increasingly urban!
Hope things are good with you.

you're right! I didn't think of it quite that way but it's true; intersecting, overlapping layers of sound-lines
Avatar 7:52pm

all this guy's tunes have such a familiar groove, seem like they could go on forever, and then suddenly stop
Avatar 7:54pm

they could go on forever & I'd be perfectly happy. :D

Backlash is one of my fave Hubbard LPs, period. "Little Sunflower," "Return of the Prodigal Son," "Backlash," "Echoes of Blue": all lovely
Avatar 8:27pm
Flash Strap:

Hi LD! I agree, it's so good. Prodigal Son is so choice
Avatar 8:33pm

kind of Mingus-y, but also reminds me of Miles' score for Ascenseur pour l'échafaud
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:35pm
Little Danny:

Oh hell yes this Alan Lee. You know the original by Milt Jackson, Flash?
Avatar 8:37pm
Flash Strap:

Not very well, to be honest. I've heard it. I need more Milt Jackson in my life

I'd never heard this Alan Lee until I had that comp of his as a marathon prize to give away, and now I'm hooked

This Batsumi record is so good at taking sort of recognizable South African traditional/popular rhythms and playing them in such a way that they sound monumental, godlike
