Bolt - Movement & Detail. If this band had a better drummer they'd be killing me.

Dr Octagon.
i thought i'd borrowed the instrumental disc, but the vocals have not been surgically removed.

Pandora, programmed for "Dirty Three," but it's playing some jack named Steven R. Smith who sounds like he composes music in a deep, metal-walled cave with only old bedsprings for a rhythm section.
I believe the man in the next cave is teaching himself how to play harmonica but has lost part of his brains in a war.

SIBYLLE BAIER : “COLOUR GREEN”
Get the Tonight track here. This is outstanding stuff.
Agony Shorthand blog wrote:I’ve been accused of favoring winsome female folk artists when I do indulge the form (folk), and I guess I have to cop & say: OK, guilty as charged. At least until I find some fellas who are up to minimalist beauty and unusually dreamy, lonesome vibe of VASHTI BUNYAN’s “Just Another Diamond Day” or of my new favorite, SIBYLLE BAIER. Like Vashti, Ms. Baier was recording her skeletal voice + guitar beauties around 1970-73, but Baier never actually got that album out – in fact the material on “Colour Green” is just now coming out for the first time, 36 years later. (Apparently J. Mascis had a hand in its release). It’s fantastic, simple stuff, with no single track throttling any of the others around it – just achingly pure folk from start to finish. Baier was German, and it says somewhere on the web that she once contributed a song to an early Win Wenders film. She sings with barely any trace of an accent, and her voice just oozes sadness and somberness without ever dipping into cliché. If you want to try a single song, you can download “Tonight” right here. Everyone loves the half-baked story of the easygoing non-musician who just sat down one day with his/her guitar and knocked out a classic, but with Sibylle Baier there’s very something close to truth in the tale.

2 new discoveries (new to me that is):
[url=http://www.tuffcity.com/html/allgenres.asp?SearchBy=Art&ReleaseAlbumList=1357&ReleaseArtistList=Black+Merda&ShowFormat=CDVY&AvailOpt=Avail]Black Merda - 'The Folks From Mother's Mixer' CD
[/url]
(reissue of 2 LPs, from 1970 & 1972, very nice - kind of like bits of the first few Funkadelic albums, but a much cleaner guitar sound and without George Clinton chanting crazy stuff)
"Too late for the Hendrix generation and too early for the Parliament / Funkadelic generation, this group created a heady brew of psychedelic Folk-Rock-Funk of the 70's. With their reportorial lyrics and sometimes acoustic style guitar, Merda could be called acid funk unplugged."

[/url]
(reissue of 1968 LP - this version of "I Just Want To Make Love To You" will make you forget all about Foghat - if you hadn't already)
"This is the infamous "somebody-put-something-in-the-Waters" LP from 1968. A relative hit for Chess, it features the exalted bluesman bellowing over psychedelicized arrangements that owe more to Steppenwolf than Willie Dixon. Waters himself complained that the drums were too busy and the lead guitar sounded like a cat's meow. Not a bad critique."
