i could end up posting early fleetwood mac songs for weeks lol

 

another stunning song

 

 

 

 

DUDE!  I love this song.

 

You know, I don't really wish I could go back to those good 'ole days, but I do wish I could somehow demonstrate to folks now-a-days just how mind boggling and awe inspiring the music of yester-year was to us of the 60s and 70s.  It was so very very new and fresh...nothing like it had ever been around before.  There is a tonnage of great music around today...arguably more and even better than in the 60s and 70s, but, no matter how wonderful it is, it isn't as innovative as what came before it in the post war 50s, 60s and 70s.  I am so thankful to have been exposed to this 50-60-70 innovative pop music at the time it was created and put before the public...and in the time context of it's creation (what the world was like).  Now if we could just hurry up and get to the Singularity so the benevolent AIs could get to work on immortality, Bob would be my uncle.

sorry guys i could'nt  resist

just one more

 

 

 

Great song from Deep Purple.  I think Deep Purple gets kind of overshadowed by themselves and their super iconic rock anthem "Smoke on the Water" and it's gloriously simple guitar riff with heavy bass underlay.  They really put out a ton of great tunes, but Smoke is just so well known much of the rest of their work kind of flies under todays radar...but we sure bopped to it back  in the 70s.  This song, "My Woman From Tokyo" and "Hush" are two of my favorites from them. 
 
Now my nostalgia pump is primed.  So, in the vein of just one more...one more primo piece of dino-rock from around the same time frame.   This song was a mantra of mine for many years as I was "Dazed and Confused" for sure...one phrase in particular stood out for me...:
 
I'm just a jet-age gypsy, 
Looking for a gypsy queen,
I sometimes think I'm on the brink
Of knowing what I mean...

A little Asia...a little Khoomei

 

...a bit more folkish and traditional but quite good and this tune introduces more modern instrumentation as it builds to the end...awesome if you give it a chance...if you don't have patience, at least try it from 2:50; brilliant chord progression

 

The Who...wait, I mean The Hu, yeah Asia stlye.  These guys are pretty badass. Darkfin, check it out... 

 

 

 

More Hu...love these guys...

I'm kinda shocked that no one liked the Mongolian stuff...really? I think it is truly fine and certainly far away from the cookie-cutter re-hash of auto-tune blandness that is churned out of the music factories of today.  Please give this post a listen...at the very least The Hu Band...it's worth a try, really:  http://en.tankiforum.com/index.php?showtopic=23324&page=400&do=findComment&comment=6664602

 

Moving south out of Mongolia a bit to China and a more traditional Western sound, Faye Wong.  She started out in the 90s and is hugely popular in the Chinese speaking countries.  She has a crystal clear clean soprano voice.  Lots of her stuff, especially her work in the 2010s, leaves me cold as it seems kind of tepid and more TV Special or lounge-ish.  But much of her earlier stuff has more pizzazz. This is my fav song from her...it has a kind of Swing Out Sister feel to it.  At any rate it is a far cry from the Khoomei I posted last.

ratz...I can't get it to link directly from the forum.  I guess the poster monetized his YouTube acct so stopped hot-linking and wants you to watch and listen from YouTube itself....just click the underlined "Watch this video on YouTube" link within the footprint of the dialog box and that zips you to YouTube itself.

My ears are bleeding.  This is a little too frenetic for me...yikes.  I would use this if I ever needed to break a lease. :)  I like some of the guitar work, and loved the beginning, but it is a very difficult piece to hear with all that is going on in it.  I admire the verve and artistry that went into making it, but it just gets too overwhelming for me to actually enjoy as it moves into it's resolution.  I guess I'm just not ready for it yet.  Thanks for the introduction to it though.

 

*when you're in nam' and you get a letter from your beloved*

 

 

 

I never thought of this as a song about Nam...live and learn I guess.  Interesting how they pulled out the vocal tracks with some sort of audio wizardry. It sounds way more modern as a sparse vocal. The Letter was one of my fav songs from '67...I played the 45 (it was a 7" vinyl record) so may times that I wore it out and had to buy a new one.  I opted for the full album on the second go-around.  Just for grins and reference, the unaltered version is in the spoiler

Sorry, I messed up the multi-quote trying to put in spoilers.  Anyway I really like this.  So effective with the words/messages in front of you and his music as more background...clever.  This also seems very sincere and is very touching.  I look forward to following this guy on his walk...promises to be interesting...the YouTube and techno world opens a little wider as artists like this guy find new ways of expression using media and tecnology.  We live in a glorious age. Thanks for posting this.
