Arthur Lee & Love - Live at the Knitting Factory, May 1st 2002


Love, one of my most cherished bands. When I found out back in 2006 that Arthur Lee had died of leukemia, i felt intense grief as if he were a personal friend. But i truly feel as if he were, his lyrics and arrangements move me deeply, and have accompanied me through thick and thin. Forever Changes is an irrefutable masterpiece, ive heard this record countless times and it fails to grow old. Well, after Artie served a 12 year sentence for firearms possesion he went on tour in 2002 with Johnny Echols(original guitarist of Love) and the "Love" band also known as Baby Lemonade(my guess is its a Syd Barrett reference). This live album is an excerpt of said tour and it includes many of my fav Love tunes, including: she comes in colors, alone again or, que vida, you set the scene, etc. etc. Here the violins and horns are replaced with some blazing guitars which really add some spice to it, one hell of a show, you can really feel the energy of the crowd. enjoy.

Robert Wyatt - Comicopera (2007)


This former member of Soft Machine is a fucking legend. A truly extraordinary album with a melancholic and intimate feeling. Profoundly musical in every sense of the word. This album is probably his best overall work since "Rock Bottom" and that says a whole lot.

Tropicalia: A Brazilian Revolution in Sound


"Tropicalia in the late 1960s revolutionized Brazilian music mixing Psychedelic Rock, avant-garde musique concrete (tape loops, sound experiments), Samba, Funk and Soul into a truly unique combination."

This is yet another great compilation from Soul Jazz that gathers the most important artists from the politically charged, artistic movement known as Tropicalia. From Os Mutantes and Gilberto Gil, to Caetano Veloso and Gal Costa, they're all here.
