That one was one I recently revisited at a local filmotheque (I went with some friends who found it too over the top) after seeing it when it when it came out. A totally crazed out story, as is Benicio del Toro, who is phenomenal.

That one is a very great album.

I bet they sound terrific!
Yes they do. And now that I think of it, I don't know if it's the whole Azymuth or not. Wanted to edit the post but it was not possible. Has happened before.

After you read that, you might want to try A Legacy of Spies. It’s a follow to The Spy Who Came in From the Cold.
I have Legacy of Spies, but haven't read it still. And I didn't know it had something to do with the other book. I thought it was just his closing of the whole spy world.

Azymuth - Flame / Spectrum (Milestone)
I have some mp3s of members of Azymuth playing with Marcos Valle about Emerson Fitipaldi or Sesame Street.

Pulled this out after being reminded of its greatness on another thread here.

And enjoying it mightily. It's about the Cold War, something I know well. Because I lived through it. And I'd been to Berlin when there still was the wall. So I passed Checkpoint Charlie when it was still in operation. Not a tourist trap like now. And I remember a big notice stating You are now leaving the American sector.

Because I seeked it out in Spotify and am listening to it right now. I have a Tee-shirt of that tour, which I am wearing right now. I inherited it from my (younger) brother who went to see him during that tour in the 80s.

I understand French so so, and I even have some books in French, but the truth is it's very hard to understand if you've never studied it. Yes with the help of other Roman languages you can manage, but not me. BUT I understand and can read Italian and Portuguese/Brazilian quite well, though I never studied them.

Speaking of childhood, listening right now to this classic from my youth:
Also a classic from my youth. I even saw them live once in 1980 together with (guess who?) Mike Oldffield
. I often think of them when I see those oh so fashionable Ramones T-Shirts from today. Which hipsters wear without probably knowing anything about them.

Probably how I did. . . with some French junior high school education and a dictionary.
I had zero education in French. All English. I even had a French girlfriend when I was young and we spoke in English. I sometimes think now what an insult that must have been to her. My father masters French, but not me.

Otherwise known as L'Etranger. Yes, this one also belonged to my mother. Purchase date Sep. 1961. I believe this is where the idea for The Cure's Killing an arab comes from. I think I already read it, but like 40 years ago. So I'm rereading it.

That's one I've ordered from my regular bookshop as well. I'm a big Winslow fan and have read almost anything he's put out. But there's his debut from 1991, I think, which I can't get hold of. And I ordered it but it's OOP. I think it's called something like Underground. If anybody has a clue as to how to find it I'd be very grateful.

I was lucky enough to see them in the early 2000s - they came out to Australia to play at one of the "Big Day Outs"
They played (I think more than one time) at an important electronica festival here, Sonar. But I never saw them. But I did see Orbital there in 95.

A great read to start the day!!!
Second that. Very hilarious and super weird. And it here it's already evening. So a good read to end the day too.

I'm in heaven here. As I like so much Small Group Swing.

I think that's the best of Resonance's Wes releases, although In The Beginning is awfully good as well.
I like his In Paris release, on the same label. Which features a Paris concert from the 1965 European tour. But that's one of I've got to check out too.

The headphones appear to be like two telephones. What the?
I'd seen those kind of "headphones" in record shops back in the day, when you could sample records prior to buying them. But, honestly, I thought patrons were listening to two conversations at the time when I saw this. So two telephones. And it didn't dawn on me what they could be doing.

Did you ever hear the album he did with the Holy Modal Rounders?
No, never heard that one. But I'll seek it out.

P.S. accent grave on the final "e" -- thus probably pronounced "Mo-ray."
Yes, I had always seen it written Moré. So I assumed it was like this. And incidentally, he died the year I was born.
So, What Are You Listening To NOW?

That's about his best period for me. Station to station and prior to the Berlin trilogy. Although he was into his neofashistic egotrip then. With Carlos Alomar as his star guitarist.
