Pavement - Slanted and Enchanted

Although released in 1992, I bought this LP last year as part of an Oxford Street splurge. My only Pavement release was Wowee Zowee on CD and I remembered that this was a must have! After posting the Pavement reunion thread yesterday (no american takers yet), I thought I'd dig this out for it's first play Roll Eyes. As side one commenced, feelings of WTF surfaced, but gradually I adjusted to the jagged rhythms. I enjoyed side 2 better as it attempted more melody. When I think back to the early 90's (daughter born 1990), I reckon I lost about 5 years of music and I was sure out of step with Pavement Roll Eyes. With my recent music buying being centred on high production and beautiful mastering, it's good to have this almost opposite approach. In the end it's music just the same.
yup its in my attic collecting dust, great band Smile

Art Blakey and the Jazzmessengers 'Album of the Year'
The only late period Blakey album I have, are any of the other albums from the 1980's worth trying?

I don't think the solists match those of the 50's, too frantic, and I am not a Wynton Marsallis fan, but the drumming is amazing as ever, and the rhythm section are excellent.

Re: New Order, Substance

Still cannot believe that Stephen Morris can actually play like this. This guy's a machine.

And the cover is a bit of a relief Winker


As I drummer, I have always suspected that in the studio that the drumming is literally that, a machine.

As for the cover, try looking up Jan Tischold, Peter Saville simply took many of his designs, and changed the text. At least in his exhibition at the Design Museum a few years ago, he did show the Tischold designs next to his, honest, but still blatant plagiarism.

This brings back memories of seeing his trio (Michel Petrucciani, Steve Gadd, and Anthony Jackson) at the Brecon Jazz Festival.

'So What' is taken at such a clip, it is all but unrecognizable. Still, I prefer it to the original.

I never had the pleasure of seeing Petrucciani sadly. He was such an awesome pianist overcoming his physical challenges in noble style. I have not played the "Music" album in years and will get it out later for a spin.

Yeah, I've no idea really, but I'd always assumed that even some early New Order tracks had a fair bit of drum machine on them.

Jamie, I just quickly googled Jan Tschichold / Peter Saville after seeing your post - something I'll have to look into a little more some time. Thanks for that.

Anyways, talking of early New Order and drum machines, here's The XX:

@JamieL
Yes, thank you for that, I've just had a quick look. I've always found something fascinating in typography. One of these things that seem completely superfluous and absolutely vital at the same time.

@Chief Chirpa
I've just seen your other thread, and have watched Crystalised on YouTube. Sounds cool.

Funny that they cover Teardrops. I've seen the movie Fish Tank last week-end, during which Bobby Womack's version of California Dreaming is often played. It made me think that I had no proper Bobby Womack album yet, and lead me to Womack & Womack from which I have none either.

And so this was delivered today and playing now:

king Crimson 'Eyes Wide Open' (live) - sometimes I just have to remind myself just how far music can be taken.

Typography, I studied it for two years, it is one of my great loves. If you would like a few names to look up on Google or Wikipedia as well as Jan Tischold:

El Lizitski (1920's Russian)
David Carason (conptemprary American, breaks all the rules - NIN 'All That Could have Been', Raygun Magazine)
Vaughan Oliver (1980's 4AD records art director - This Mortal Coil 'Filigree and Shadow' the inner sleeves are what really turned me on to typography)
Neville Brody (1980's The Face magazine)
Tormato / John Warwicker (UK design group of which Underworld are part of)
Also the Blue Note covers, and book of covers.

It is a fantastic discipline to work with.

So many more, but have fun searching

My favourite from REM. A teenage crush.
Unfortunately, I've got it only on vinyl.

On vinyl, the great man sounding better with every passing year and the ever-deepening of his voice fuelled by old age; red wine; cigarettes, and a chunk of Zen....

I really love them. But for some reason, as I do for Hendrix, I only listen to KC in "bursts".

Thank you very much for all your pointers Jamie.
I've got a friend, with whom I use to sail, who's also in typography and design. We had a nice chat lately, when he told me a couple of things about Helvetica and the influence it's had.

A bit versatile tonight. I've recently discovered that some Audio Fidelity recordings were available online locally at local prices and free of shipping charge, and I'm discovering Steve Hoffman's take at Child In Time:
