Teasing the Korean

This is a favorite album of mine. I will review and report back.

For those of us who have hit, say, age 50 or older: Have you ever in recent years put on an album that you had from your childhood or youth, and were amazed at how quickly the thing flew by? The tempos, and the length of tunes? As a kid, I would listen to Beach Boys and Beatles US LPs, and I would totally get lost inside them. All of these albums clock it an under 30 minutes. Some of those Beatles sides are as short as 12 or 13 minutes. I very rarely listen to rock/pop from my youth, but one Friday night a few years ago, I put on side 1 the US Rubber Soul - in mono, of course - went to kitchen to mix a few cocktails, and by the time they were ready and I brought them out into the family room, it was time to flip the record. Bernard Herrmann's late-career recordings of his earlier scores have been criticized for their sluggish tempos. I wonder if he was experiencing the phenomenon I am talking about. Anyone experience this?

George Duning - Toys in the Attic OST (Citadel, mono)

Joe Harriott/John Mayer - Indo-Jazz Suite & Indo-Jazz Fusions

The Beach Boys - Sail on Sailor box set, disc 1: Carl and the Passions - So Tough (plus bonus tracks).

This is the playlist I created. I tried to create relatively even sides, while paying attention to song placement. Side 1: Don't Go Near The Water Feel Flows Take A Load Off Your Feet 4th Of July [2019 Mix] Surf's Up Side 2: Long Promised Road Lookin' At Tomorrow (A Welfare Song) A Day In The Life Of A Tree 'Til I Die (Wouldn't It Be Nice To) Live Again [Extended 2019 Mix]

Especially in loud bands. Not only that, but cymbals have a way of eating up frequencies of other instruments, which is why Brian Wilson and Phil Spector tended to avoid or minimize their use.

Both have their merits.

RIP. 1970s Auteur Cinema would not exist as we know it without him. And those fantastic Les Baxter scores!

Oh, I straightened up before the pic!

Yup!

It was also reissued on Solid State as St. Thomas later in the 1960s. I've run across a few copies of the original African Suite with clean covers and trashed vinyl. I ended up putting a clean St. Thomas vinyl inside an African Suite cover. Some record collectors are horrified by this kind of mix-and-match, but I don't have room for trashed vinyl and boring covers (as my reply to your record storage thread would suggest).

Pat Williams - How Sweet It Is OST (RCA Victor, stereo)

The poem is pretty cool, too! 😱😱😱

The Beach Boys - Surf's Up. I get rid of "Student Demonstration Time" and "Disney Girls" and reinstate the two Dennis songs that he yanked. 10 tracks, 35 minutes. A fantastic album. Too bad it wasn't released this way.

I have this LP, but cannot find any audio or video to post. https://www.discogs.com/release/19695583-Ray-Newton-2-Brother-Dimitrios-David-Wade-11-Richard-Jaworski-Four-New-Poets The money cuts are by Brother Dimitrios, who is a parody of a beat poet. Very funny stuff. One of the poems starts like this: There are but three poems: Birth. The everyday. APOCALYPSE!

If The Beach Boys meet your definition of rock, I am listening to: The Beach Boys Today Summer Days (And Summer Nights!) For Beach Boys Today, I lose "Bull Session with the Big Daddy" and start side 2 with "Guess I'm Dumb" by Glen Campbell. It becomes a perfect album (by 1960s pop/rock standards). The Beach Boys are the only group of the pop/rock era that I have listened to with any degree of regularity for about three decades. There music hits me on a deep emotional level.

I have a Decca original. I distinctly remember buying it at Stereo Jack's in Cambridge in the late 1990s. @Stereojack, do you still post here?

I don't think I ever saw or heard of this album until you posted it. I found this track on YouTube, and I immediately recognized the opening lines, which were sampled by the United Future Organization.

I'll raise you the opening scene from Roger Corman's Bucket of Blood, which recycles Fred Katz's score to Little Shop of Horrors.

My pleasure!

PM sent.

Oh, I forgot this gem: John Corigliano - Altered States

I should probably add Leonard Rosenman's score to Beneath the Planet of the Apes.
