Blue Lab Beats, Kaidi & Nk-Ok - The Sounds Of Afrotronica (Tidal)
Streaming in the cab, new to me, as recently posted by @BlueCanary
Blowing over programmed beats and electronics, funky, uplifting with a nice sunshine groove. In fact whilst listening to Bloom the fog and gloomy greyness gave way to a clear blue sky and sunshine. Just what the doctor ordered!
Not a physical release as far as I can see.
Hey BC) you recently posted a new record which you compared to Gil Scott Heron, can you remember what it was?
Cheers

That cover looks unexpectedly familiar - and the track titles ring bells too, might have actually had that album in the past…

Not a great fan of Greatest Hits albums but this one is an exception. Featuring Just The Two Of Us, Soul Shadows & Lovely Day, Bill’s smooth soul voice, mellow grooves, and gospel accents are just sublime.

The track ‘Taiko dub’ on the Roon hifi joyride playlist caught my ear so giving the full album a listen, interesting meld of japanese percussion.

Billy Cobham - Spectrum
The star of this album is Tommy Bolin - the first track Quadrant 4 just when you think Tommy has shredded the guitar to pieces he takes it to another level.
Ken Scott engineers and mixes.

Part Time Audiophile - The Occasional Podcast, interview with Naim’s very own Steve Sells. Thanks to @MrUnderhill for highlighting this. Fascinating stuff, plus interesting observations from one of the hosts re the Nait2.

Thanks for the inspiration. Just played it as well - it’s a great album that holds up well even after 45 years. UK pressing bought second hand some years ago and still in excellent condition.

The Sex Pistols - Never Mind the Bollocks
I couldn’t stand this when it was released as I was still very much into Yes, Genesis, Pink Floyd etc. and it felt as though this represented the destruction of all that I found musical. It wasn’t until about 20 years later that I accepted it and found it was actually quite fun.
Track 4 seems strangely appropriate just now.
