    Damn, I really like the Society of Seven LP I got. Did they do more than one? Mine has the jesus Christ Superstar number, and a Joe Tex cover too, I think.

    The Nohelani LP with the modern soul cut is nuts (but a one tracker). Lemuria's a one track LP too.

    Lemuria?

    my nankuli sons record is a 2 tracker!

    Mike Lundy Lp on Secor. Saw a few CD reissues left on the web.
    Aura (1978).
    Tender leave
    Blue light LP, it's certainly eccentric.
    And some more,
    A lot of it probably ended up in Japan on the radio, they know enough over there.

    I got a record by a group called Phase 7. Has a funny cut called Chotto Mate Kuda Sai. Apparently written by a Japanese dude impersonating Don Ho covered by the group. Hilarity!

    I think all of the Hawaiian records with breakbeatraer or whatever, are kind of overated. But it totally depends on what you're looking for. I personally think the more traditional material, falsetto vocal, and slack key, is what is under appreciated.

    Raer to semi raer
    These Trails
    Greg Yoder-Dreamer of Life
    Ira Nepus-trombonist for lemuria
    Copper Nickel (this one has it's moments)

    Non-Raer but quality, check albums by these artists:
    Kalapana
    Peter Moon Band
    Sunday Manoa
    Leonard Kwan
    Gabby Pahinui
    Cyrus Green
    Mackey Feary

    The stuff that leans more AOR like Aura, Toma Natto, Kasual,Kevin I, is worth alot to Japanese buyers, but I would take a Sunday Manoa over one of those any day.

    Mike Lundy - Rhythm of life
    Berkelew & Safford - Listen for the future

    I guess I'm giving those away. Definately great.
    I got the Aura 1977 one, wonder if it's the same group as the 1978 one. Anyone know about it ?

    Sounds kind of lame to me. I'll have a listen at it once more though, as promised.

    Aura

    Recorded in SF?

    Yes, but the cover image was made by a Hawaiian artist. And the vocalist is of the same volume and timbre as on the 1978 album. Nobody knows I guess.

    Ira Nepus is not good at all, call it a nice solid terd.

    These Trails is a total bowel hemorrage with every horrible fluid you can imagine flowing in a blissful stream of mellow gnarls. I'll pay heavy if anybody can hook me up. Was this recorded in Kauai? They have a song about Hanelei so I was always curious.

    Anybody heard Illusion? It's on the same label as 'these trails'.


    Yoder about Greg Yoder.....

    My uncles records that I poached in Kauai were covered in sand. To this day his James Brown Live At the Apollo LP is the worst condition album I've ever seen.

    I think it's the same group; the first is worth a lot of dough and the second isn't worth anything. The second one really sucks and the first is really good, if you're into small label horn rock (paging JacobWizzle)

    if you're into small label horn rock


    Who's got that Danser's Inferno gremlinito?
  • Jonny_PaycheckJonny_Paycheck 17,825 Posts
    hahahaha. The bong rip opening "Sativa" alone kicks Danser's ass.
  • JazoistJazoist 78 Posts
    Okay, I think you're a little right about the horn rock. But there's more to it. The opening track has a nasty beat, and someone told me about the great amount of mellotron on the album (I didn't notice cause I'm not into that).

    id have to agree. im not much of a breakbeatraer type of guy. i just thought this nanakuli record was great cuz the 2 styles go hand in hand. smooth high falsetto, slack key, easy going vibe. i mean, does this not sound like a lowrider oldie? they actually did a cover of an el chicano song.
