Sir Richard Bishop - While my guitar violently bleeds

beautiful

wonderful wonderful wonderful wonderful

Really? (re:the embryo) A lot of the stuff I have heard of theirs I thought was pretty unpleasant in noodly ethno jazz way. I really like Opal and the nnck collab but the few others I've heard were a bit guff. (I think We Keep On was one of them)

hat and beard · 06.25.2007, 06:18 PM

I dunno. If you can't stomach ethno-fusion-jazz-rock or whatever you want to call it (I can), anything after Opal isn't gonna be your cup-a-tea.
There's some pretty heavy freaked out stuff on most of their records, though, which is why I like them more than your average ethno-jazz noodlers.

There's a pretty excellent video of Embryo playing with some Indian musicians on Youtube. It may be more up your alley.

I can stomach a certain amount of ethno-fusion-jazz-rock but the Embryo stuff I heard was particularly weak. I like Malesch by Agitation Free fora example. That always struck me as being what I hoped Embryo might be like.

Iain · 06.25.2007, 06:30 PM

And also, what is the Sir Richard Bishop record like?

Norma J · 06.25.2007, 06:31 PM

Been buying lots from Dischord lately. Awesome stuff like Nations of Ulysses, Bluetip, Black Eyes, Rites of Srping, some live Fugazi, and I finally picked up the Instrument DVD which I've watched for days straight.

It's great. The first side has some really nice improvised modal guitar playing followed by noisy electric guitar dirge.
Side two is more modal playing over (electric?) tambura. The two acoustic pieces are some of the prettiest things I've ever heard him play.
It's definitely one of the better records I've bought lately.

Never heard Agitation Free. I'll check them out.

I went to my local for a gander and stumbled across some, well a bunch of Sun Ra vinyl for $10 a piece. I bought two (Bad and Beautiful, and The Solar-Myth Approach vol 1 - colour vinyl) to check them out because I've heard big things about him on this board, and I'm extremly happy with the purchase. I'll go a purhcase the others now. I also found Omar Rodriguez Lopez's Se Dice Bisonte No Bufalo LP for under $20. All brand new. So major score today.

Always good to hear of another potential Sun Ra convert. It's a pretty good sign if you like both of those records. I don't have Bad and Beautiful but as I recall there are a few standards on there and it isn't that 'out'. The Solar Myth Approach is quite the opposite, both pretty out and with a kind of downer vide at times...especially the opener Spectrum.

What Sun Ra albums do you own?

There was a bunch at the record store I picked these up at. Probably about 10, all for $10 a piece.

I bought the new Polyphonic Spree today. It even came with a patch.
