Robin is such a shamefully underrrated and underexposed player.

The tones he conjures from a Strat are just as mesmerizing as Hendrix, SRV, or David Gilmour, but he doesn't get anything close to the same acclaim.

L.A. BRONCOS FAN · 03-20-2006, 05:23 AM

Jazz fans take note: This CD slams HARD!

Sort of a 1960s Wes Montgomery/Horace Silver/Jimmy Smith vibe happening here.

Grant produces some gorgeous tones with nothing but an ES-335 plugged straight into an amp, and his chops will make your jaw hit the floor.

is the yeah yeah yeah's new album better than their first?

(same question for eagles of death metal)

BroncoInferno · 03-20-2006, 01:01 PM

I didn't realize the Yeah Yeah Yeahs new one was already out. It received some pretty good early buzz a couple of months back.

Current listening:

The Kinks--Muswell Hillbillies
Artic Monkeys--Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not
Hefner--Dead Media
The Subways--Young For Eternity
The Fall--50,000 Fall Fans Can't Be Wrong: 39 Golden Greats

Robin Trower is one of those hot and cold musicians that goes under the radar for years before anyone looks back and realizes what he really did. The more I learn about music the more I amazed at the number of quality musicians that get no recognition.

I picked up Los Lobotomys thinking I was going to get some new inspiration and was disappointed. I thought it would be fresh but it's just rehashed fusion from 30 years ago. It's probably new to the youngsters but I was raised on that stuff. I'll give it another chance. Maybe I missed something.

Right now...

Ladysmith Black Mambazo - Long walk to Freedom - African music (These were they buys that worked with Paul Simon. I like the relaxing full tones of their voices. It's good acappella like Take 6 with a different flavor.

Dave Matthews - Weekend on the Rocks
System of a down - Hypnotize
Linkin Park - Meteora
Nickelback - (?)

I like the new Yeah Yeah Yeah's alot but havent listened to it enough to say whether its better than the first. But its a quality album from the first to last song.
As for the Eagles of Death Metal, my friend just turned me onto them and this is the only album I have heard so far, dont have anything yet to compare it to.

Some things you just cannot re-make .... like Hitchcock's "Psycho."

LABF .... is there anything we DON'T agree on?!?

I didn't know Trower had a new live album, (I GOTS to get me that!) ... but his first live record ("Robin Trower Live!", 1976) is imo one of the truly great guitar displays ever recorded ....

Too Rolling Stoned
Daydream
Alethea
Rock Me Baby

It's very different (better) than his more plodding studio efforts ... he exhibits an astonishing Hendrix/Stevie Ray Vaughn-esque blues/metal power trio, although Trower is a much more efficient player than either of them ... (though had Jimi lived it might've been different.)

Drummer Bill Lordan has an incredible drum solo on Alethea, too ...

BroncoBuff · 03-22-2006, 04:02 AM

I just listened to Amazon samples of "Far Earth Below - Live"

I'm telling you - they're simply not the same as "Live!" - faint copies at best....

This is THE ONE:

Are you talking about the first Lobotomys record?

That is, this one?

It was recorded in the late 80s, so some of the instruments might sound dated to some people's ears, but the tunes and the level of musicianship are slammin,' IMO. My faves are "Big Bone," "Lobotomy Stew," "Smell Yourself" & and "All Blues."

At any rate, if the first Lobotomys disc doesn't appeal to you, then you might prefer the follow-up:

This disc rocks a lot harder and everyone stretches out a lot more during the improv sections.

Believe it or not, some of my favorite Trower records were the ones he recorded in the late 80s/early 90s with vocalist Davey Pattison (a guy who sounds like a cross between Paul Rogers and Lou Gramm.)

If you haven't heard them already, check out the discs "Passion," "Take What You Need," and "In the Line of Fire."

They are hella musicians but I fault a lot of modern musicians with being too structured. It's obvious stuff like let's take Mary had a little lamb drop it down a half, pick up the tempo, and then throw it in Lydian mode? Oh yeah. Let's add a cowbell. WTF? They can play don't get me wrong but they aren't like Yellow Jackets. Yellow Jackets is some of the most complicated and structured Jazz you will ever hear but they are not pretentious...most of the time. If ANYONE wants to learn about jazz at all START there and THEN go backwards. (Samari Samba, Blue Hats, & Yellow Jackets are accessible)

RANT: It's like Chris Botti has to have anyone whose ever had any star power on his stuff so that he can pimp himself as "plays better than Miles Davis" What exactly has Chris Botti invented musically? Pioneer? Pimp is more like it. I hear him play the National anthem and ran out to get his stuff. As I learned about the person the music started to fail for me. He's a cupcake comparing himself to an entire kitchen of flavors. Talent isn't everything. Janet Jackson has talent but she's not getting a dime of my money. Nice boobies.

The musicians in Los Lobotomys are all A-list L.A. session players. The top of the food chain. Many of them have played with various members of the Yellowjackets at one time or another. Most jazz purist types and beboppers would probably argue that The Yellowjackets aren't really a jazz group - more like a pop jazz group (I'm not sure I would fully agree with this POV.) Anyway, Los Lobotomys is really just a fun band for session players looking to jam and blow off steam on the weekends. The tunes are intended to be vehicles to blow over - not necessarily complex compositions. However, if you're looking for complex compositions, these guys can definitely oblige. If you look at the credits and discographies of the individual musicians in Los Lobotomys, they read like a "who's who" of jazz and fusion.

Elvis Costello's 2 1/2 Years box set and The Pretty Things Get The Picture has dominated the player these past couple of weeks.

Eight Ball and MJG - Comin out hard.

Baaaaangiiiiiiiiiiiin

After recently having to pull some boxes out of storage, I found a treasure trove of old cd's I've been lookin for.

ALSO, my neighbor's boyfriend just burned me the new Jedi Mind Trick's new album, should get my first listen tonight!

barters · 03-24-2006, 03:29 PM

At the moment:

Jose Gonzalez - Veneer

The Subways - Young For Enternity

Editors - The Back Room

Doves - Some Cities *Massively Reccomended*

Nuggets4 · 03-24-2006, 03:49 PM

Kick ass. I just found the old mix CDs I made a few years ago when Modern Drummer came out with their "Top 50 Drum Grooves Of All Time" and "Top 25 Most Influential Drum Solos of All Time". Jamming out to them right now.

Is Bill Lordan's 200 mph machine-gun amazement on "Alethea" on "Robin Trower Live!" (1976) listed? If not, too bad .... do NOT miss it.

How about Ringo's solo on "Birthday"?

"The End" is on there. They defend it by saying it's "most influential", which does make it true. Love him or hate him, there are a lot of people playing drums because of Mr. Starr.
