This whole record is amazing. Ahora Mazda was the houseband of a variety theater located a stones throw from my house. They had magic shows there accompanied by this music, live. Far out stuff, no doubt.
just enjoying this lovely piece of Swedish jazz, Can't remember what its called and my records are in such a mess, i'll dig it out later if anybody is interested. Anyway here it is..
stop it, please. i know you australian guys have a very special kind of humor[/b], but i can't keep up with yours.
Now now, no need to take the piss. It's not a race. Yeah, I know we are a bit straightfoward sometimes. Might come across as blunt, no harm meant Gropey.
This track is for you... I'm serious, no kidding around. More Smooth Jazz.
Title track from the CTI album. Crawl Space'. Jeremy Steig, Dave Grusin, Steve Gadd, Eric Gale, Will Lee & George Mratz. 1977.
Bonus tune. From the soundtrack of "Forever Free, Forever Young". This & 'The Chase' (which isn't as dynamic as it sounds) are the only 2 beat driven funk tracks on the album. Common, but this less than 2 min track is cool.
Cool. I can't listen to that song at the moment. I don't like smooth Jazz though. The track I posted isn't smooth Jazz. Please don't call it smooth. Plaese? What do you want me to post? German Funk music? German breakbeats? German "Mercy, Mercy" versions with slamming drumbreaks (blazin')? Drummers that are humming over their own drumming? Prog Psych versions of "Respect"? Tell me!
"Gropey"?
PS: I just gave two Australians a ride down to Southern Germany. They were supposed to pay 8 Euros... turned out that they didn't have enough cash... (they told me after we had arrived )

It's not smooth smooth as in smoothy smooth. I think you'd dig it.
Damn, now why they'd go & do that for... Want me to Paypal you 8 Euros to restore my countries reputation? Bloody scabs, they must've been from Melbourne.
Yeah slammin b-boy friendly prog rock Hawaiian breaks with bagpipes would be cool. It's all good man. Whatever you post I'm sure will be absolutely fine.
I've had this in my head all day. Not really sure why as things are relatively trouble-free. Anywho, an exceptional straight-up funk track nonetheless:

YES! Those dudes were from Melbourne! LOL!!!
I'll pm you a Moog heavy German Funk tune next week. High quality MP3 file...
This is a great Gospel track that's a staple to many church bands. I got into it when I recorded an album for the man who wrote the song, who had the best business card ever.

This is crazy... Thanks.
It's like some baroque 60's Californian choir with a jazz trio.
And that Trumains thing is dope as well.
Heck all very nice so far...

I'm not a very religious guy, but this song hit me in a deep way. I told my wife I want it played at my funeral if something ever happened to me.
On a very different note:
Big Star - Life Is Whirte
http://s33.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=0OXN4HDK3ENDZ0M6W9L6GH76OC
This sounds like the Flaming Lips, but 25 years early. I cant stop listening to this song. I'm now on the hunt for all the Big Star vinyl I can find.
I feel obligated to use a Graemlin, but I shal obstain.
