Words of wisdom from Sun Ra: The sound mirror is what you see of you that's sound. If you're not sound, then you're not pure. Pure is real-sincerity and pure knows pure is sound and true.

3 days/2 nights

The Promised Land: a landscape without limitations, where you can hear and discover music and performance art on stages, as well as in a mountain cave or on a high peak. A pristine sand-wash where your campsite is part of an entire tribal village celebrating each other, the expansive fresh air, as well as the moon & stars at night. This land enhances magic, and your silent understanding! Within the sounds, the sculptures, the pyramid and the water monument, you awaken your senses.... you will find answers to questions that have gone un-answered..... This is more than a festival gathering, this is about creating a new you, and a new community in a new time.

TeleMagica provides a stage for painters, sculptors, musicians, poets, photographers, film makers, performance artists, neo-vaudville, graffiti artists and creative ritualists to come together for exchange of ideas and talents, for connectivity and collaboration on projects, and for rejuvenation in a world where the support for the arts has been evaporating.

RIVERSIDE ARTISTS AND VENUES NEED YOUR HELP!

2009-04-12T01:36:00.001-07:00

From: JERMx aka Jerm
To: Astro Nation Of The United Worlds Of Outer Space
Date: Apr 8, 2009 2:20 PM
Subject: do you believe funding the arts is important to the community?

what is needed is every type of letter imaginable!
Hand written, typed, or even signatures of supporters.

Letters answering questions like: Why is art important to the communities in the area? Why do they like art? How can the arts help this economy? And What do they need?

We need Funding, or a relief for artists, since help has not been granted in over five years to help support local artists or new venues displaying modern art.

The more letters/ signatures Rachel White gets to build this foundation for the Arts the more support the arts in the community will have from the Council and the more patrons will step up to the challenge of helping the arts. By means of numbers and out reach, we are the ones who make things happen. Artists need to step up and network! That is what is needed now. It takes 3 minutes to write a letter that will bring the arts in the community back on their feet. We just need to get the people, patrons, artists, friends, families involved with keeping the arts alive. Letters requesting that the local venues in the area get aid, in order to give a helping hand to the artists.

at least 2,000 signatures, and 500 2-3 minute letters are needed by Monday afternoon, before 3:30pm.

You can even write, "I support the foundation for the Arts in the Inland Empire, and ask the Council and community to support them by funding local venues displaying art.
" - Art from Scratch Exhibitions was made by artists, run by artists, and made to help artists.As well as the Riverside Art Exchange, among other art collectives in the Inland Empire! We are the representation of what the arts can do, want to do, and will do!

Please write your letters and names and statements of support for the funding of the arts in the Inland Empire to : artfromscratch@yahoo.com
Rachel White
(Founder of the foundation for the arts in LA and IE)
(Founder of Art From Scratch Exhibitions)

She is the one bringing all of our voices to the arts council!
We need to stand up be counted and be heard!
Let all know what art funding will do for your community!

thank you and we hope everyone will take a stand and express what the arts have done and are doing for their lives and how funding will help the dreams of artists continue on and on!!

(please repost and pass the word along this is a huge deal)
thanks erik

Enter the Void - 2009 - Gaspar Noé

2009-01-29T20:54:00.000-08:00

2009
Drama
USA/France/Japan
Releasing: Summer '09

"'Making a film is difficult, but making a great film is an almost impossible task.'

This quote from Spielberg is perhaps not completely accurate, but that’s how I remember it. However, some examples of great films do exist, including the film which had such an influence on my existence: 2001, A Space
Odyssey. Without professing to be able to create such a masterpiece, trying to make a film that is, at the same time, a large-scale entertainment, suitable for adults and complex in cinematic terms, is one of the most exciting undertakings one could wish to tackle. And if one does not set out with the aim of making a great film, one can be sure that it will not turn out to be one.

Few of the arts can satisfy man’s need to be uplifted as immediately as film. And none (except interactive video games) can yet reproduce the maelstrom of our states of perception and consciousness.

In the past, certain films have tried to adopt the subjective point of view of the main character. enter the void will try to improve upon its predecessors and accompany the hero just as much in his normal state of awareness as in his altered states: the state of alertness, the stream of consciousness, memories, dreams...

The visions described in the script are inspired partly by the accounts of people who have had near-death experiences, who describe a tunnel of light, seeing their lives flashing past them and ‘astral’ visions, and partly by similar hallucinatory experiences obtained by consuming DMT, the molecule which the brain sometimes secretes at the moment of death and which, in small doses, enables us to dream at night.

The film should sometimes scare the audience, make it cry and, as much as possible, hypnotise it.

In recent years, films with labyrinthine structures have proved the audience’s ability to follow storylines in the form of a puzzle, and its desire to move away from linear narration.

But a complex form where the content does not move the spectator in any way would only amount to mathematic virtuosity. Whereas this film is above all a melodrama: the universal melodrama of a young man who, after the brutal death of his parents, promises that he will protect his little sister no matter what and who, sensing that he himself is dying, fights desperately to keep his promise. A film where the life of one person is linked to the love he has for another human being.

The reason for choosing the most modern areas of Tokyo as a setting is to further emphasize the fragility of the brother and sister by propelling them like two small balls in a giant pinball machine made up of black, white and fluorescent colours.
*********************************************************************************
My previous two films, which were far less ambitious, were once described by a critic as being like roller coasters playing with the most reptilian desires and fears of the spectator. enter the void, whose themes and artistic choices will be far more varied and colourful, should, if I succeed, be the Magic Mountain which I, as a spectator, dream of riding on."

- Gaspar Noé

New Jimi Hendrix Recordings At Crosstown Torrents

2009-01-23T12:17:00.000-08:00

http://crosstowntorrents.org/showthread.php?t=1164

1970-08-01 Honolulu

This show was partially recorded and surfaced in WMA format in early 2006.

It turned up on the EH site in Real Audio format, another lossy conversion....

This torrent is for the 'original' WMA files, and a FLAC version of a edit i did, some EQ etc.

The original recording had a 'echo from the future' in the left channel, since the recording itself appears to be mono this channel was dropped in the edit version.

1 Straight Ahead
2 Ezy Ryder
3 Hey Baby
4 Spanish Castle Magic
5 Red House

The partially synched 8mm that came with it is also included.

Those are the facts, now the opinions:

I think this was one of the best concerts of 1970.
Jimi appears to be in a very good mood which is reflected in his playing. Finally, an audience that doesnt scream for 'Wild Thing/Foxy Lady/Purple Haze/burn that guitar Jimi!'
inbetween all songs. This version of Hey Baby is -afaik- the only live version that has a intro and an ending, its not the usual ending where it would be a medley with the next song - or drum solo.

So, the show is really good, the audio really isnt.
Still hope it will be enjoyed!

8 Somewhere in the East [alternate take/*] 9:46

All Music Guide Review by Richard S. Ginell

Having taken Benson along with him when he founded CTI, Creed Taylor merely leaves the guitarist alone with a small group on his first release. The payoff is a superb jazz session where Benson rises to the challenge of the turbulent rhythm section of Jack DeJohnette and Ron Carter, with Clarence Palmer ably manning the organ. Benson is clearly as much at home with DeJohnette's advanced playing as he was in soul/jazz (after all, he did play on some Miles Davis sessions a few years before), and his tone is edgier, with more bite, than it had been for awhile. The lyrical Benson is also on eloquent display in "Ode to a Kudu" (heard twice on the CD, as is "All Clear"), and there is even a somewhat experimental tilt toward Afro-Cuban-Indian rhythms in "Somewhere to the East." A must-hear for all aficionados of Benson's guitar.

Tracklisting:

1 White Rabbit 6:55
2 Theme from Summer of '42 5:04
3 Little Train (From Bachianas Brasileiras #2) 5:46
4 California Dreamin' 7:19
5 El Mar 11:00

All Music Guide Review by Richard S. Ginell

"For George Benson's second CTI project, producer Creed Taylor and arranger Don Sebesky successfully place the guitarist in a Spanish-flavored setting full of flamenco flourishes, brass fanfares, moody woodwinds and such. The idea works best on "California Dreamin'" (whose chords are based on Andalusian harmonies), where, driven by Jay Berliner's exciting Spanish rhythm guitar, Benson comes through with some terrifically inspired playing. On "El Mar," Berliner is replaced by Benson's protégé Earl Klugh (then only 17) in an inauspicious — though at the time, widely-heralded — recorded debut. The title track is another winner, marred only by the out-of-tune brasses at the close, and in a good example of the CTI classical/jazz formula at work, Heitor Villa-Lobos' "Little Train of the Caipira" is given an attractive early-'70s facelift. Herbie Hancock gets plenty of nimble solo space on Rhodes electric piano, Airto Moreira contributes percussion and atmospheric wordless vocals, and Ron Carter and Billy Cobham complete the high-energy rhythm section. In this prime sample of the CTI idiom, everyone wins."

10 Criminal Minded 5:19

All Music Guide Review By Steve Huey:

"Criminal Minded is widely considered the foundation of hardcore rap, announcing its intentions with a cover photo of KRS-One and Scott La Rock (on his only album with Boogie Down Productions) posing with weapons — an unheard-of gesture in 1987. BDP weren't the first to rap about inner-city violence and drugs, and there's no explicit mention of gangs on Criminal Minded, but it greatly expanded the range of subject matter that could be put on a rap record, and its grittiest moments are still unsettling today. Actually, that part of its reputation rests on just a handful of songs. Overall, the record made its impact through sheer force — not only KRS-One's unvarnished depictions of his harsh urban environment, but also his booming delivery and La Rock's lean, hard backing tracks (which sound a little skeletal today, but were excellent for the time). It's important to note that KRS-One hadn't yet adopted his role as the Teacher, and while there are a few hints of an emerging social consciousness, Criminal Minded doesn't try to deliver messages, make judgments, or offer solutions. That's clear on "South Bronx" and "The Bridge Is Over," two of the most cutting — even threatening — dis records of the '80s, which were products of a beef with Queens-based MC Shan. They set the tone for the album, which reaches its apex on the influential, oft-sampled "9mm Goes Bang." It's startlingly violent, even if KRS-One's gunplay is all in self-defense, and it's made all the more unsettling by his singsong ragga delivery. Another seminal hardcore moment is "Remix for P Is Free," which details an encounter with a crack whore for perhaps the first time on record. Elsewhere, there are a few showcases for KRS-One's pure rhyming skill, most notably "Poetry" and the title track. Overall it's very consistent, so even if the meat of Criminal Minded is the material that lives up to the title, the raw talent on display is what cements the album's status as an all-time classic."

All Music Guide Review By Steve Huey

"The murder of DJ Scott La Rock had a profound effect on KRS-One, resulting in a drastic rethinking of his on-record persona. He re-emerged the following year with By All Means Necessary, calling himself the Teacher and rapping mostly about issues facing the black community. His reality rhymes were no longer morally ambiguous, and this time when he posed on the cover with a gun, he was mimicking a photo of Malcolm X. As a social commentator, this is arguably KRS-One's finest moment. His observations are sharp, lucid, and confident, yet he doesn't fall prey to the preachiness that would mar some of his later work, and he isn't afraid to be playful or personal. The latter is especially true on the subject of La Rock, whose memory hangs over By All Means Necessary — not just in the frequent name-checks, but in the minimalist production and hard-hitting 808 drum beats that were his stock-in-trade on Criminal Minded. La Rock figures heavily in the album opener, "My Philosophy," which explains BDP's transition and serves as a manifesto for socially conscious hip-hop. The high point is the impassioned "Stop the Violence," a plea for peace on the hip-hop scene that still hasn't been heeded. Even as KRS-One denounces black-on-black crime, he refuses to allow the community to be stereotyped, criticizing the system that scoffs at that violence on the spoken recitation "Necessary." "Illegal Business" is a startlingly perceptive look at how the drug trade corrupts the police and government, appearing not long before the CIA's drug-running activities in the Iran-Contra Affair came to light. There are also some lighter moments in the battle-rhyme tracks, and a witty safe-sex rap in "Jimmy," a close cousin to the Jungle Brothers' "Jimbrowski." Lyrics from this album have been sampled by everyone from Prince Paul to N.W.A, and it ranks not only as KRS-One's most cohesive, fully realized statement, but a landmark of political rap that's unfairly lost in the shadow of Public Enemy's It Takes a Nation of Millions."

All Music Guide Review By Steve Huey

"The second Boogie Down Productions album devoted mostly to consciousness raising, Ghetto Music: The Blueprint of Hip Hop finds KRS-One evolving into a fierce advocate for both his community and his chosen art form. He's particularly concerned about the direction of the latter: he's wary of hip-hop being co-opted by the pop mainstream, and the album's title comes from his conviction that real hip-hop is built on the vitality and rebelliousness of the streets. Accordingly, Ghetto Music contains a few more battle rhymes than usual, plus some showcases for pure MC technique, in keeping with the most basic elements of the music. The production, too, is still resolutely minimalist, and even if it's a little more fleshed-out than in the past, it consciously makes no concessions to pop or R&B accessibility. There are more reggae inflections in KRS-One's delivery than ever before, audible in about half the tracks here, and the production starts to echo dancehall more explicitly on a few. Meanwhile, as the Teacher, he's actually put together lesson plans for a couple tracks: "Why Is That?" and "You Must Learn" are basically lectures about biblical and African-American history, respectively. This is where KRS-One starts to fall prey to didacticism, but he has relevant points to make, and the rapping is surprisingly nimble given all the information he's trying to pack in. Elsewhere, "Who Protects Us from You?" is a bouncy anti-police-brutality rap, and KRS closes the album with the point that "World Peace" can only be achieved through a pragmatic, aggressive struggle for equality. Although Ghetto Music has a few signs that KRS is starting to take himself a little too seriously (he dubs himself a metaphysician in the liner notes), overall it's another excellent effort and the last truly great BDP album."

Martian Methane Reveals the Red Planet is not a Dead Planet

Mars today is a world of cold and lonely deserts, apparently without life of any kind, at least on the surface. Worse still, it looks like Mars has been cold and dry for billions of years, with an atmosphere so thin, any liquid water on the surface quickly boils away while the sun's ultraviolet radiation scorches the ground.

But there is evidence of a warmer and wetter past -- features resembling dry riverbeds and minerals that form in the presence of water indicate water once flowed through Martian sands. Since liquid water is required for all known forms of life, scientists wonder if life could have risen on Mars, and if it did, what became of it as the Martian climate changed.

New research reveals there is hope for Mars yet. The first definitive detection of methane in the atmosphere of Mars indicates the planet is still alive, in either a biologic or geologic sense, according to a team of NASA and university scientists.

"Methane is quickly destroyed in the Martian atmosphere in a variety of ways, so our discovery of substantial plumes of methane in the northern hemisphere of Mars in 2003 indicates some ongoing process is releasing the gas," said Dr. Michael Mumma of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. "At northern mid-summer, methane is released at a rate comparable to that of the massive hydrocarbon seep at Coal Oil Point in Santa Barbara, Calif."

Scientists don't yet know enough to say with certainty what the source of the Martian methane is, but this artist's concept depicts a possibility. In this illustration, subsurface water, carbon dioxide and the planet's internal heat combine to release methane. Although we don’t have evidence on Mars of active volcanoes today, ancient methane trapped in ice "cages" might now be released. Credit: NASA/Susan Twardy
> Larger image Methane -- four atoms of hydrogen bound to a carbon atom -- is the main component of natural gas on Earth. It's of interest to astrobiologists because organisms release much of Earth's methane as they digest nutrients. However, other purely geological processes, like oxidation of iron, also release methane. "Right now, we don’t have enough information to tell if biology or geology -- or both -- is producing the methane on Mars," said Mumma. "But it does tell us that the planet is still alive, at least in a geologic sense. It's as if Mars is challenging us, saying, hey, find out what this means." Mumma is lead author of a paper on this research appearing in Science Express Jan. 15.

If microscopic Martian life is producing the methane, it likely resides far below the surface, where it's still warm enough for liquid water to exist. Liquid water, as well as energy sources and a supply of carbon, are necessary for all known forms of life.

"On Earth, microorganisms thrive 2 to 3 kilometers (about 1.2 to 1.9 miles) beneath the Witwatersrand basin of South Africa, where natural radioactivity splits water molecules into molecular hydrogen (H2) and oxygen. The organisms use the hydrogen for energy. It might be possible for similar organisms to survive for billions of years below the permafrost layer on Mars, where water is liquid, radiation supplies energy, and carbon dioxide provides carbon," said Mumma.

"Gases, like methane, accumulated in such underground zones might be released into the atmosphere if pores or fissures open during the warm seasons, connecting the deep zones to the atmosphere at crater walls or canyons," said Mumma.

"Microbes that produced methane from hydrogen and carbon dioxide were one of the earliest forms of life on Earth," noted Dr. Carl Pilcher, Director of the NASA Astrobiology Institute which partially supported the research. "If life ever existed on Mars, it's reasonable to think that its metabolism might have involved making methane from Martian atmospheric carbon dioxide."

However, it is possible a geologic process produced the Martian methane, either now or eons ago. On Earth, the conversion of iron oxide (rust) into the serpentine group of minerals creates methane, and on Mars this process could proceed using water, carbon dioxide, and the planet's internal heat. Although we don’t have evidence on Mars of active volcanoes today, ancient methane trapped in ice "cages" called clathrates might now be released.

The team found methane in the atmosphere of Mars by carefully observing the planet over several Mars years (and all Martian seasons) with NASA's Infrared Telescope Facility, run by the University of Hawaii, and the W. M. Keck telescope, both at Mauna Kea, Hawaii.

The team used spectrometer instruments attached to the telescopes to make the detection. Spectrometers spread light into its component colors, like a prism separates white light into a rainbow. The team looked for dark areas in specific places along the rainbow (light spectrum) where methane was absorbing sunlight reflected from the Martian surface. They found three such areas, called absorption lines, which together are a definitive signature of methane, according to the team. They were able to distinguish lines from Martian methane from the methane in Earth's atmosphere because the motion of the Red Planet shifted the position of the Martian lines, much as a speeding ambulance causes its siren to change pitch as it passes by.

"We observed and mapped multiple plumes of methane on Mars, one of which released about 19,000 metric tons of methane," said Dr. Geronimo Villanueva of the Catholic University of America, Washington, D.C. Villanueva is stationed at NASA Goddard and is co-author of the paper. "The plumes were emitted during the warmer seasons -- spring and summer -- perhaps because the permafrost blocking cracks and fissures vaporized, allowing methane to seep into the Martian air. Curiously, some plumes had water vapor while others did not," said Villanueva.

According to the team, the plumes were seen over areas that show evidence of ancient ground ice or flowing water. For example, plumes appeared over northern hemisphere regions such as east of Arabia Terra, the Nili Fossae region, and the south-east quadrant of Syrtis Major, an ancient volcano 1,200 kilometers (about 745 miles) across.

It will take future missions, like NASA's Mars Science Laboratory, to discover the origin of the Martian methane. One way to tell if life is the source of the gas is by measuring isotope ratios. Isotopes are heavier versions of an element; for example, deuterium is a heavier version of hydrogen. In molecules that contain hydrogen, like water and methane, the rare deuterium occasionally replaces a hydrogen atom. Since life prefers to use the lighter isotopes, if the methane has less deuterium than the water released with it on Mars, it's a sign that life is producing the methane. The research was funded by NASA's Planetary Astronomy Program and the NASA Astrobiology Institute.

Tower of Power - 1975 - Urban Renewal

2009-01-16T10:14:00.000-08:00

All Music Guide Review By Alex Henderson

"Tower of Power was very much in its prime in 1974, when the Bay Area outfit tore up the soul charts with the outstanding Urban Renewal. Lenny Williams, a passionate, wailing, gospel-influenced dynamo of a singer, had joined Tower the previous year, and he worked out remarkably well; whether digging into tough funk or romantic ballads, Williams is in top form. Funk doesn't get much more invigorating than horn-driven gems like "Maybe It'll Rub Off," "Give Me the Proof" and "Only So Much Oil in the Ground" (a commentary on the mid-'70s energy crisis), and soul ballads don't get much richer than "Willing to Learn" and "I Won't Leave Unless You Want Me To." Tower (an influence on everyone from L.T.D. to the Average White Band) recorded a number of essential albums in the '70s, and Urban Renewal is at the top of the list."

Fela Kuti - 1973 - Gentlemen

2009-01-15T12:35:00.000-08:00

All Music Guide Review By Jack LV Isles

"Gentleman is both an Africa 70 and Afro-beat masterpiece. High marks go to the scathing commentary that Fela Anikulapo Kuti lets loose but also to the instrumentation and the overall arrangements, as they prove to be some of the most interesting and innovative of Fela's '70s material. When the great tenor saxophone player Igo Chico left the Africa 70 organization in 1973, Fela Kuti declared he would be the replacement. So in addition to bandleader, soothsayer, and organ player, Fela picked up the horn and learned to play it quite quickly — even developing a certain personal voice with it. To show off that fact, "Gentleman" gets rolling with a loose improvisatory solo saxophone performance that Tony Allen eventually pats along with before the entire band drops in with classic Afro-beat magnificence. "Gentleman" is also a great example of Fela's directed wit at the post-colonial West African sociopolitical state of affairs. His focus is on the Africans that still had a colonial mentality after the Brits were gone and then parallels that life with his own. He wonders why his fellow Africans would wear so much clothing in the African heat: "I know what to wear but my friend don't know" and also points out that "I am not a gentleman like that!/I be Africa man original." To support "Gentleman," the B-side features equally hot jazzy numbers, "Fefe Naa Efe" and "Igbe," making this an absolute must-have release."

John Fahey

2009-01-14T12:04:00.000-08:00

Biography from Rolling Stone:

John Fahey preferred album titles like Death Chants, Breakdowns and Military Waltzes, and Blind Joe Death, suggesting either a dark private humor or plain morbid fixation, but this Maryland guitarist's forte is music of an exhilarating, almost rapturous beauty. Uplifting or soothing, tinged with melancholy, his sets of country blues, Scotch-Irish folk, or classically derived melodies showcase often dazzling acoustic-guitar work. Generally unaccompanied and without overdubs, he crafts complex tapestries of sound; his virtuosity is less a matter of speed or jazzy convolution than tone, and Fahey's guitar resounds like no other. Big, bell-like, immediate, helped out by very clear production, his tone comes through like a signature. Confusingly, he rerecorded a number of LPs because he thought his technique had improved, and one of his finest releases, Of Rivers and Religion, features a whole band with horn charts. A very consistent artist -- the assured delivery of "Old Southern Medley" off The Transfiguration of Blind Joe Death, from 1973, isn't dissimilar to his rousing take on Eric Clapton's "Layla" (from Let Go) -- Fahey kept to a very high standard through much of his 40-year career. Gorgeous mood music that can provoke trance and reverie, his albums might appeal to New Age listeners -- but his music is denser and smarter than that genre. He survived for years as a perennial Christmas-music favorite.

Fahey's stubborn, outsider nature and his '60s experimental works led to his rediscovery as an indie hero; his final albums, however, are feeble echoes of the more clever curios on Voice of the Turtle and The Great San Bernardino Birthday Party. Newcomers will do well with Return of the Repressed or the best-of anthologies; Vol. 2, selected by guitarist Henry Kaiser, is particularly well programmed. Fahey's stoic combination of deep sadness and unshakeable resolve to transcend will keep his work forever in fashion. (MILO MILES)

Bola Sete - 1966 - Bola Sete At The Monterey Jazz Festival

2008-11-30T00:22:00.000-08:00

I found this gem in Amoeba Records today. I first heard of Bola Sete from the Magic of Juju blog page and have been searching for records of his ever since. If you enjoy acoustic music with lots of variation, you will love this album.

Verve Music Group Album Description (Source Link):

The late guitarist Djalma de Andrada gained the Portuguese nickname Bola Sete or ("seven ball" in English) for the single black ball in the game of billiards (not to be confused with the eight ball of pool) because he was the only black player in a Brazilian jazz group. Like many of his compatriots during the 1960s influx of Brazilian musicians to America, Bola Sete had roots in both Brazil’s European classical and African folk traditions. But he was also strongly influenced by jazz masters such as Charlie Christian, Django Reinhardt, and especially Barney Kessel, and he developed a jazz-based, steely-toned acoustic guitar style. Bola Sete at the Monterey Jazz Festival captures a remarkable live set from 1966.

Bola Sete’s love of jazz played a large part in shaping his career in the States. After he joined pianist Vince Guaraldi’s trio on the West Coast, he was heard by the great trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie in 1962. Gillespie raved about his Brazilian Afro-jazz fusion, and by the time the concert documented here took place, Bola Sete had formed his own combo. On this set, which features a medley of songs from the movie Black Orpheus and two original compositions, including an exquisitely Brazilian "Flamenco", the players catch fire. There is brilliant interplay among the guitarist and drummer Paulinho Da Costa, virtuosic on a range of percussion instruments that create a true street-samba feel; the sensitive bassist Sebastião Neto; and the audience, whose roars of approval create an ideal, Carnival-like excitement around the music.

Surgidos en Valparaíso bajo la creatividad de Antonio Smith, su único disco es una mezcla de plácidos sonidos, llenos de mensajes positivos e idealistas, de amor a la naturaleza y al hombre en sí mismo. En lo musical desarrollan un estilo que mezcla el folclor, la sicodelia y lo progresivo. Si bien la banda no logró reconocimiento masivo en el país, Antonio Smith cantó en el Festival de Viña del Mar, aunque ante la apatía general de los espectadores y de la prensa.
Antonio Smith, el compositor de todos los temas de la banda, continúa trabajando como solista realizando música no comercial y más tarde produce -como era de esperarse- música New Age bajo el nombre de Awankana.

Pharaoh's Den Benefit Show November 21, 2008

2008-11-04T14:25:00.000-08:00

Artists, painters, dancers, photographers, designers, musicians, sculptors, poets, we're having a benefit show for the Pharaoh's Den and we need you and everyone in the community to come support and offer your creativity to the space on November 21, 2008. The Pharaoh's Den is an artists run and supported cultural space center that is in need of the communities support to help keep this place alive. Everyone is welcomed to be a part of this benefit and we hope to hear back from anyone who has interests in making this a special evening. This is still an out of the pocket venture, your patronage and support will allow us to bring more artistic endeavors to the Pharaoh's Den.

The Pharaoh's Den Cultural Space Center Mission Statement:

In the heART of beautiful downtown Riverside, an exciting and creative new cultural arts and performance space center is fast becoming a sizzling enclave of boundless expression for the creative community in every area of the arts. The Pharaoh's Den offers mediums of expression a wide variety of the meaning of what art has become to mean. Film, photography, classes, workshops and performance art are just a few of the creative mediums displayed here at the cultural space center The Pharaoh's Den. The variance within these different artistic mediums can be analyzed by the different music we have had ranging from punk, metal industrial avant-garde, experimental, hip hop, jazz, blues, reggae, noise, pop, and much more. It is not hard to fathom there will be an extraordinary array of emerging new artistic influences that will find their way to the Pharaoh's Den. The Pharaoh's Den is the perfect source of unity for underground, mainstream, and local and non-local artists. Art is often defined as the conscious production or arrangement of sounds, colors, forms, movements, or other elements that affects the sense of beauty. It may be easier for one to describe art as the way something is done—the use of imagination and skill in creating unique environments, aesthetic objects, and profound and moving experiences that we can readily share with others. However, those who contemplate and seek to define art in their own application will generally agree that; at any given moment in time, art will lack a satisfactory definition. This lack of definition is what we thrive on as individuals and as a whole at The Pharaoh's Den, the unknown becomes the accepted medium of exploration and growth, not blueprint fixtures that cause vortexes of creative stagnation. We are defined loosely as a social network of cosmic brothers and sisters all unified together under the envelope of creation. The Pharaoh's Den is a road that could never be polarized to one element or one tying as a representative of the whole as the path will forever mold and change, constantly providing new boundless opportunities. There is a growing artistic energy grid in Downtown Riverside, and the Pharaoh's Den provides the perfect environment for different mediums to co-exist side by side. As we all know, there is always a challenge to stamp any new venture with a brand that people can identify with. The Pharaoh's Den addresses this by providing an outlet for anyone who is involved in the creative process. It is the perfect place for underground talent to emerge and evolve, and provides a friendly platform for the more mainstream talent to showcase their skills as well. Discipline, precision, progress, growth, community, and knowledge are just a few of the themes that define the mission of the Pharaoh's Den. This mission is slowly growing stronger and stronger as time moves along, a strength that slowly finds new areas to sprout out of. Like the opening track from Miles Davis' Bitches Brew double LP album, 'The Pharaoh's Dance", which served as an inspiration for the cultural venue: the Pharaoh's Den strives to be at the forefront of each new development in art and music. And like Miles Davis himself, the Pharaoh's Den endeavors to become a highly influential conduit through which many important artists and musicians of today will emerge. All of the infinite things in existence, great and small, seen and unseen, imaginable and unimaginable; have their beginnings in the quietude of life. And, if we are not careful, we will miss the opportunity to see that the Pharaoh's Den is marching perfectly in step with the concourse of nature. Perhaps, this is why the Pharaoh's Den warmly welcomes the artist whose talents are still underground—and those whose talents are well developed. We think you will fill find the Pharaoh's Den to be an entirely new experience—one that you can enjoy and share with others for years to come.

Thanks to anyone and everyone who ever recieved enjoyment from AstroNation.

Jimi Hendrix, September of 1970:

The story of jesus
So easy to explain
After they crucified him,
A woman, she claimed his name
The story of jesus
The whole Bible knows
Went all across the desert
And in the middle, he found a rose

There should be no questions
There should be no lies
He was married ever happily after
All the tears we cry
No use in arguing
All the use to the man that moans
When each man falls in battle
His soul it has to roam
Angles of heaven
Flying saucers to some,
Made easter sunday
The name of the rising sun

The story is written
By so many people who dared,
To lay down the truth
To so very many who cared
To carry the cross
Of jesus and beyond
We will guide the light
This time with a woman in our arms
We as men
Cant explain the reason why
The womans always mentioned
At the moment that we die
All we know
Is God is by our side,
And he says the word
So easy yet so hard

I wish not to be alone,
So I must respect my other heart
Oh, the story
Of jesus is the story
Of you and me
No use in feeling lonely,
I am searching to be free

The story
Of life is quicker
Than the wink of an eye
The story of love
Is hello and goodbye
Until we meet again

Notes:

This is a GREAT sounding (A+) recording of SRV & DT at the Jazz Fest. in New Orleans. I'm not sure if this is still rare, but at the time I got my CD, it was fairly uncirculated. My copy came from my friend CM who had a relative that ran the mixing board from which this tape came. Some of the ID markers ma not be perfect, but feel free to retrack it if you wish. All credits for the availability of this one go to CM. I just transferred my copy to share with you good people out there.

DO NOT SELL THIS RECORDING!!!

DO NOT ENCODE TO LOSSY FORMATS (except for personal use)!!

ABSOLUTELY SHARE THIS AT ANY OPPORTUNITY

Amazing show! My first time recording with the edirol and thought I had the hold button on, but no, I somehow shut the recorder off at the end of Goliath and I didn't notice until the end of the jam on Conjugal Burns. Enter Galen. He also taped the show (DPA-4061>MPS6030>Sony PCM-m1 (Oade Mod. II) and so kindly gave me a chunk of his recording to make a patch from. Without him this complete recording would not have happened. Level adjustments being made at the beginning of Roulette. There are a few mic pops throughout. Great performance! From Cedric running to the soundboard, acting like the mic stand was a movie camera in Conjugal, giving the guy in the audience the mic in Cygnus, dumping his tea out and putting the mic in the empty mug and shaking during tetragrammaton, all the stage banter, and finally the tripping kid that walked across the front of the stage, it was an incredible night. This recording goes out to those of us who have had Columbus cancelled on us TWICE now. It's unfortunate, but let's hope they reschedule and bring something special with them! I've put a lot of work into this recording and there was just a flood of shows back in January when this took place so I figured I'd hold onto it for a while and put it online during a volta draught, but after this weekend I think everyone in this area that may have been in attendence deserves a little bonus! Hope it was worth the wait! Enjoy! NEVER FOR SALE!

Changes made (Nero 7):
-------------------------
Corrected 0.30msec (microphone?) phase offset
- Improves instument clarity / dynamics
- A little more bass
- Centres and widens the stereo image field
Increased volume of all quiet parts by +3dB
Further increased volume by +4dB on tr05 and all applause / announcement segments

NOTE: The phase correction process creates small inaudible SBEs, but if you fix them, it destroys
much of the improvements, so I suggest leaving it alone.

Quality: Definitely an A++ now
----------------------------------

This is a wonderful rare (on Dime anyway) recording and performance by the great Nels Cline
Singers, with only a few minor flaws were easily fixed (details above).

is a very good description, so don't miss it...

This was originally seeded as a first-generation copy and a few months later a copy straight from the master was seeded. This is the latter, superior version.

Donald Byrd - 1975 - Places and Spaces

2008-04-15T19:24:00.000-07:00

AMG Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine:

"Reuniting with Larry Mizell, the man behind his last three LPs, Donald Byrd continues to explore contemporary soul, funk, and R&B with Places and Spaces. In fact, the record sounds more urban than its predecessor, which often played like a Hollywood version of the inner city. Keeping the Isaac Hayes, Curtis Mayfield, and Sly Stone influences of Street Lady, Places and Spaces adds elements of Marvin Gaye, Earth, Wind & Fire, and Stevie Wonder, which immediately makes the album funkier and more soulful. Boasting sweeping string arrangements, sultry rhythm guitars, rubbery bass, murmuring flügelhorns, and punchy horn charts, the music falls halfway between the cinematic neo-funk of Street Lady and the proto-disco soul of Earth, Wind & Fire. Also, the title Places and Spaces does mean something — there are more open spaces within the music, which automatically makes it funkier. Of course, it also means that there isn't much of interest on Places and Spaces for jazz purists, but the album would appeal to most fans of Philly soul, lite funk, and proto-disco."

Diddy (ProgArchives):

Sometimes, when you have enough of all the prog clichés and the omnipresent, pretentious sound orotundity it is time for a break, it is definitely time for KRAAN!

In my opinion very underrated, this german Krautrock/Fusion band shows a very different approach to progressive music than many other bands. Not abovementioned clichés take center stage but easiness and pure joy. On that account their music sometimes sounds like one endless jamsession transferring the fun to the listener in best time. I guess that's why they sold out about 300 shows in only 2 years.

Their 1975 released first live album shows imposingly how pure music sounds like. Partly Krautrock, very Psychedelic and partly Fusion, Funk and Progressive influenced the very jazzy music diffuses an unconstrained, quite relaxed feeling. Recorded 1974 in Berlin (a stronghold for Kraan) the album features expended and very extended versions of previous studio albums, mainly taken from the antecessor "Andy Nogger". The terrific percussion and bass work creates a perfect base for the melody and solo performances of the guitar and the saxophone. Johannes Pappert's saxophone sounds like a violin, or a synthesizer but actually never like a saxophone. Helmut Hatter's bassplaying can be described as the engine of their music, the driving force while guitar and saxophone contribute the soloing part. Brimming with highlights there seems to be no song to emphasize. Maybe "Holiday am Marterhorn including Gipfelsturm" (The Marterhorn is one of the highest montains of the alps) where Peter Wolbrandt outreaches himself on the guitar, a magnificent piece of, party improvised, music.

This live record is one of the best live recordings I know, actually exemplary. Pure listening pleasure and a lot of fun carried forward by this powerful and vivid performance. I think some neoprog band with their flamboyant keyboard bombast should take a leaf out of this book...

This is definitely an excellent addition to any prog music collection, highly recommended!

That one is on only one disc and has been decided in the comments to be inferior in other ways to this reseed from 2005. All files, including the info file are the same as before so you can help seed if you happen to still have the Flac download.

Sound quality is very good FM from low gen. off-air reel - check the sample to decide for yourself...

CD#1: 1st set 47:04
01 Waiting 8:21
02 Treat 10:22
03 Evil Ways 8:45
04 Shades of Time 3:40
05 > Savor 5:03
06 > Jingo 10:19
07 announcer & crowd noise 0:41

CD#2: 2nd set 40:29
01 announcer intro & crowd noise 0:10
02 Persuasion 3:47
03 Soul Sacrifice 3:31
04 > drums 11:36
05 > Soul Sacrifice 20:44
06 talk: "Don't Go No Further..." & crowd noise 0:38

Carlos Santana: Guitar, Percussion, Vocals
Marcus Malone: Percussion
David Brown: Bass
Gregg Rolie: Keyboards, Vocals
Bob "Doc" Livingston: Drums

Probable lineage: 1st or 2nd gen. copy of off-air reel master.
KMPX-FM > ? > Sony SLH-180 7 inch Dolby B 1/4 track reel recorded at 3.75 ips (Tandberg 9241XD) > Macintosh with DigiDesign AudioMedia III card > Pro Tools > AIFF > FLAC level 8 (created with xACT with sector boundaries verified). md5 file created with checkSUM+.

Nothing has been edited out or eq'd, but there were lots of dropouts - mostly in just one of the channels. Since this is basically a mono mix, the dropouts and levels changes could be almost entirely eliminated - either by pasting in from the good channel or with manual level adjustments in Pro Tools. The finished result is very clean sounding overall. This version is less cut up and better sound quality than the previous version seeded.

The date is uncertain because of the announcer comments at the end of the first set about 5 nights coming up of benefit shows with 5 bands a night. There is a poster for Santana playing at the Avalon from May 17-19, which would be the last 3 nights of that "5 day benefit" if the date of the 13th was correct but only 2 bands and no benefit are listed on the poster for the May 17-19 run. Some people think that this is from that May 17-19 run at the Avalon, but that comment about the benefit still messes things up, because there are Avalon posters with the typical 2 bands and no mention of any benefits all the way up to the end of November 1968. After Chet Helms "Family Dog" stopped booking shows at the Avalon another promoter, "Soundproof", put on more shows at The Avalon starting in January 1969. Jerry Abram's Headlights are mentioned also by the announcer, and they did do both the '68 Family Dog Avalon shows and the '69 Soundproof shows.

Based upon all of this information, I would put the probable date as being close to the end of Chet Helms run at the Avalon. The posters for weekly Friday thru Sunday shows stopped at the end of November, 1968. Soundproof took over in January '69, so I would speculate that this show here is really from December, 1968. That would be when benefits to keep Chet Helms going at The Avalon would have been probable. The announcer doesn't say that the benefit shows would be for any other cause, and the regular scheduled weekend shows apparently had ended, so there might have been time for a 5 day wednesday thru Sunday benefit before the Family Dog completely stopped doing shows at the Avalon...

So I am listing this as 5-13-68 [date uncertain - might actually be from December, 1968]

But I'm sure you will enjoy this however you decide to label it!

Enjoy and SHARE!

the above is the original info file for this posting.
this is a remaster of torrent #152886 uploaded to dime
on July 1st, 2007 by filos35.
This recording was apparently originally sourced from a WAER FM broadcast (or possibly the pre-fm sbd of it). I believe it to be a stereo recording, although parts of it do sound pretty mono too.

You can't call it jazz, or progressive rock. This is the earliest recording I've ever heard of the greatest FUSION band in the world (past, present or future, imho)

remastering notes:
runtime here is 77:58 (same as before, no files were edited)
This may be the only torrent I've DL'ed twice on dime-
because the 1st time I found myself with "fla" files,
and had no clue what to do about that so I couldn't decode
my DL of this show to WAV for disc. Then someone in the
comments for the original posting said if you add a "c"
to "fla" files they basically become (decodable) flac files
(with flac frontend). I tried that and got the files used
for this remastering. I did not notice any sign of a problem
with any of the files themselves.

I found there to be several tracks where the left side was
considerably overaccentuating compared to the right. This
might be a good idea in politics but it doesn't sound so
good in a Mahavishnu concert. Otherwise this recording is
pretty decent sound (far from outstanding however) except
there were several erratic level changes (not just from the
music) in several of the tracks. I have adjusted the levels
to balance out the whole show including the erratic changes
so they may not even be noticable any more. I found some of
them quite annoying and detracting to the continuity of this
fine music, and I know only some Maha. fans have the ability/
software/time and/or patience to fix that so I'm sharing my
fix of it. Also being very familiar with Maha. music helps too.

"Most of it is far out improvisation, really excellent" [Webber]

"It was a three or four night event. A guy from Boston came down with a huge light show. Real lights – it the equipment was so large we hoisted it up the elevator shaft." [Graves]

Soundscape was a real, physical club at this time, located at 52nd Street and 10th Avenue. Bradford Graves and Verna Gillis have not been able to locate their tapes of this concert as of yet. They say, however, that there are additional recordings of Sun Ra concerts made at Soundscape between 1979 and 1985. Abdullah was not present at the 1979 concerts but recalls performing at Soundscape in 1980 or 1981, a period during which he was going to school. [rlc]

It was the last week of January 1975. Sun Ra and his unusual group of entertainers came to Cleveland for the first time to play a six-day engagement at the Smiling Dog Saloon. From Tuesday night, January 28th, through Sunday, February 2nd, the iconoclastic band that didn’t fit any of the usual categories of jazz, played twice a night, plus a matinee on Saturday. The Thursday night show was recorded and broadcast on radio.

The announcer opened the broadcast, saying simply, "Now, the WMMS Sound broadcasts Sun Ra and the Intergactic Myth-Science Arkestra."

The scene was the Smiling Dog Saloon, a former bowling alley at West 25th and Woodbridge, just off Interstate 71. It had been Cleveland’s almost exclusive venue for jazz since 1971, the club that had presented Miles Davis, Stan Getz, Art Blakey and many others. But, this night, it was Sun Ra and his almost cult-like big band that he called an "Arkestra." Members of the band, dressed in sparkling, colorful costumes and playing almost every kind of rhythm instrument you can imagine, marched out and began parading around the stage.

Bernard Lairet, writing in The Plain Dealer, called the Sun Ra Arkestra "a drastic alternative to lovers of the stereotyped big band." By comparison, the writer said, "Maynard Ferguson might be considered dull and boring" and Stan Kenton "might be likened to a ridiculous musical dinosaur."

"In the later half of 1975 and the beginning of 1976, the Arkestra worked frequently in the Midwest: the Smiling Dog Saloon in Cleveland, various venues in Chicago, and colleges. They also played in New York and on the East Coast, including possibly the Left Bank Jazz Society in Baltimore (though this last could have come later). [Abdullah]" ~ Saturn Research

All Music Guide Review

"The second Butterfield album had an even greater effect on music history, paving the way for experimentation that is still being explored today. This came in the form of an extended blues-rock solo (some 13 minutes) — a real fusion of jazz and blues inspired by the Indian raga. This groundbreaking instrumental was the first of its kind and marks the root from which the acid rock tradition emerged"

SOUND QUALITY: A/A- (Higashi's guitar and vocals are barely audible - this, however, is an accurate portrayal of how it sounded in the venue)

THE BAND:
Tsuyama Atsushi: monster bass, voice, cosmic joker
Higashi Hiroshi: synth, guitar, voice, dancin'king
Shimura Koji: drums, latino cool
Kawabata Makoto: guitar, voice, speed guru

ULTRA-MINI BIO:
"Acid Mothers Temple & the Melting Paraiso U.F.O. (and subsequent offshoots) is a Japanese psychedelic band founded in 1995 by members of the Acid Mothers Temple soul-collective. The band is led by guitarist Kawabata Makoto and early in their career featured many musicians but by 2004 the line-up had coalesced with 4 core members and frequent vocal guests.

The band have a reputation for phenomenal live shows, and releasing frequent albums on a number of international record labels, as well as the Acid Mothers Temple family record label which was established in 1998 to document the activities of the whole collective."

SETLIST:
Intro jam, Dark Star (incl. ???), improvisations ("Baby!"), La Novia (incl. La Le Lo), Pink Lady Lemonade

SHOW NOTES:
The 506 is a very comfy mid-sized club along the main strip of Chapel Hill, North Carolina [citation needed]. North Carolina is a five hour drive from the suburban outskirts of D.C. [totally disputed]. It should be noted that northern Virginia should just be bulldozed and started again from scratch, because, as many experts [attribution needed] have mentioned, the traffic there is absolutely hellacious.

Truth be told, this was a six and a half hour drive, with I-95 occupying a goodly three plus hours of said drive. If anybody here has heard any horror stories about the stretch of I-95 from College Park to Richmond, by all means BELIEVE WHAT YOU HEAR. Woodrow Wilson didn't commit suicide, but he would have if he saw his fucking Memorial Bridge.

On the bright side, the traffic let up somewhere outside of Richmond, allowing your intrepid taper/reporter to observe the most frightening overpass ever conceived. Whatever tortured soul thought this one up should be awarded a special position designing Greek punishments. Unfortunately, I was not able to make a suitable photographic record of the monsterosity, but those of you who've driven through Richmond probably know the beast of which I speak.

That said, the show was more than worth the journey. The whole band was in fine spirits, with Tsuyama greaty amused at the venue's smoking setup: Smokers in the back near the bar, non-smokers on the main floor, "heavy, heavy smokers" on stage. Kawabata once again earned the label of "Speed Guru", with all manners of sickness erupting from his guitar - and dig that epic jam at the end of Pink Lady Lemonade!

Special thanks to a majorly awesome North Carolinian (whose name totally escapes me) for letting me crash on his couch. And for not lynching me when I locked myself out of the house with a phone alarm blaring away.

TRACK LIST:
01. Improv jam [10:35]
02. dialogue [0:46]
03. Dark Star [16:46]
04. chatter [1:17]
05. Baby Free-Jazz/Be-Bop Improv (incl. smoke lecture) [2:54]
06. chatter [0:46]
07. La Novia (incl. La Le Lo) [20:54]
08. Tsuyama's Recorder/Bass Solo [2:27]
09. Pink Lady Lemonade [29:27]

RECORDING NOTES:
As far as the recording process itself is concerned, nothing too bizarre going on. I cannot say the same for the material recorded.

REQUESTS & REMINDERS:
Do not sell this recording. Do not buy this recording. Do not sell this recording, then buy it from yourself. When U.S. Route 15 / State Route 501 splits into three parts, your best bet is to panic. If you're in a strange land five hours from home and some generous individual offers to let you crash on his couch, please do not return the favor by setting your alarm to go off at 4:30AM, then locking yourself out of the house.
