This is work in progress - I'm trying to write up one track each day..... starting with:

CANABIS SATIVA (part) - ART OF SPACE (used in opening track Head Sweat)

This gurgling early moog synthesizer workout is from 1970 on Buddah. It consists of three long tracks whose titles somewhat hint at the mood they were going for: Cannabis Sativa, Methedrine and last but not least Lysergic Acid Diethylamide. On the back cover we are advised: "The sound of numbers for soaking in soft dreams. Sweet moments and private notes making a rhyme into a habit. An album that creates the ultimate environment for the smoke generation. Taste it." Composed and created by Nik Raicevic under the name Art In Space. Comes with a surreal booklet of drug induced sketches.... The trouble is, for all it's unique electronic qualities you do rather wish there were some drums on it - in fact someone should just add a percussion track to it, but in the meantime - it does make a rather charming backing track for....

SPOKEN EXTRACTS FROM 'JUST YOU AND ME TOGETHER LOVE' - HENRY MANCINI & JOHN LAWS (used in opening track Head Sweat)

Rather odd recording in which Mancini provides musical score to John Laws' rather macho musings on love and togetherness from 1977. John Laws, a famous Australian radio broadcaster comes across rather on the creepy side at times - but some of his verses are worthy of a larger audience! The music is pretty laid back - not vintage Mancini by any means, but taken as a whole and as an oddity, it's worth tracking down. A couple of John Laws' linking monologues have been extracted for your delectation.

LAMA SABACH TANI - THOMPSON TWINS

It was a personal quest - to find something a little different in the Thompson Twins catalogue. Whether I have found it is perhaps open to debate, but here's an almost totally instrumental, Indian sitar inspired groove, found on the B-side of their early single release 'Make Believe (Let's Pretend)' from 1981. The band featured in the photo on the back cover (above) is somewhat expanded from the later 3 member outfit. Although I do rather enjoy 'We Are Detective', I'm curious to know what the band would have become if they'd stayed as seven piece band. I need to pick up their very first album - A Product Of...(Participation), recorded when they were living in a Lambeth squat, which has a few good tracks. When playing live in the late 70s / early 80s, they invited the audience up on stage to bash the hell out of lots of metal junk - how very industrial!

KABIWA - FEVER EXPLORATION

Kabiwa was the King of Surinam and he had seven daughters whose chosen names all began with the letter V, except the youngest who was named by Sofia, his Queen. She was called Juliette which caused the King so much annoyance that he packed her off to her uncle and aunt (Eugene & Florence) who happened to live in Santa Barbara....... and so Serge Prisset created a 1970 concept album of sorts (though 'Instrumental Super Pop' is the somewhat librariesque title), each track named after a member of the extended royal family or settings for the drama. Kabiwa is the stand-out track - one of those that on first hearing I assumed was some lounge floorkiller that I should have been aware of already. Drum break... enter guitar groove.... bongos.... female vocal chant.... hammond and repeat. vocal scatting....end. Perfection. Serge Prisset was and is a prolific French composer and songwriter, writing, in the 70s, for many famous French acts (such as Mireille Mathieu, Sylvie Vartan, Nicoletta, Hervé Vilard and Charlotte Julian). Now out of the limelight, he writes bespoke 'Gift Songs' for weddings.

HERE WHAT I SAY - THOMAS LEER

Thomas Leer is a proper DIY synth pioneer self releasing the rather marvelous first single 'Private Plane in 1978:

This was followed by a sequence of really interesting synth-pop tracks through the 80s. The double 12" LP 'Contradictions' was released by Cherry Red Records in 1982, and this is the opening track. I think he impeccably understands the dance groove and this one got a few feet tapping at Brillo last year. He also knows how to write a hook - a tune - and pop lyrics too - and that squelchy synth keeps the whole thing warm and organic rather than icily detached. It was a toss up between this track and the equally fantastic 'Soul Gypsy' - I urge you to check that out too! Thomas Leer went on to form the decandent duo 'Act' with Claudia Brücken on ZZT, releasing four singles (one recalled due to illicit sampling of an Abba track).

MOON CHILD - JERRY JEFF WALKER

JJ Walker was the classic drifter of the 60s and 70s - busking around the states, especially fond of Texas, playing classic folk songs, befriending soulmates Guy Clark, Townes Van Zandt and Willie Nelson on the way . Briefly in New York he formed a band - Circus Maximus - who produced two albums on Vanguard - in the vain of the Byrds - psychedelic folk rock.

The founders drifted apart - one going jazz, and JJ heading back to the folk circuit. He is now best known for his song Mr Bojangles - covered by all sorts - and defining his music as Cowjazz, which I particularly like. This track is from his 1972 self-titled album, which he sub-titled - The Continuing Saga Of The Classic Bummer. Apparently Moon Child was a response to his favourite movie - Black Orpheus. It is a gorgeously simple song and melody that shambles along with loose shaggy band accompaniment. I only wish it lasted longer. He's now settled in Texas and his birthday is celebrated with an ever growing annual shindig which often attracts the high and mighty from the folk and country worlds.

Elton John - forgotten B-sides and album cuts

2010-05-05T14:49:00.022Z

I've always liked the early albums, from his first one in 1969 - Empty Skies, through to breakthrough album Honkey Chateau in 1972. Five great collections of songs that touched folk, rock, blues and soul and explored a love of America and Americana - the mythical wild west wilderness - that he and song-writing partner, Bernie Taupin, shared a long-distance obsession.

For me it is the epic ambition of the song structures and the beautifully constructed arrangements, often employing the skills of Paul Buckmaster, that define Elton John from his UK mainstream contemporaries. There is a sumptuous fullness to the songs, which lies at the heart of people's response to his work during the seventies. People either love it or hate it. It is true that, as time went on, Elton would resort more to a generic formula dependent on his voice and piano to create a central focus to songs often extending well over 6 minutes in length. Combined with this, a playful, almost vaudeville, quality infused certain songs - sometimes successfully working as counterpoint to the rich symphonic epics, but at other times seeming just throwaway and pastiche. However, he was capable of producing some surprising and striking work which, I think, outweighs the more predictable output.

I'm not such a big fan of the 'classic' Goodbye Yellow Brick Road album. Too much a potpourri of sketched ideas, though it does contain the amazing Bennie and the Jets, which surely everyone shares a secret enjoyment. There are a couple of filler albums bookmarking that central work that I don't think make the grade - so perhaps don't bother seeking them out - Don't Shoot me, I'm only the Pianist (1972) and Caribou (1974). But he got back on track with three great albums demonstrating an increasing soulful and gospel-tinged flavour.

This selection tries to show that there was also a great musical mind at work during the early seventies period, and extending through to 1976's Blue Moves double LP, after which Elton and Taupin split as a creative team due to the ubiquitous 'musical and personal differences' (returning to work later in the 80s). It takes some perhaps less known and sometimes experimental tracks from LPs and B-sides, which I hope give an illustration of an artist who was first attacked by critics for various offences (too popular, too prolific, too frivolous) to music's high church, as early as 1972! Elton John was never cool. He was/is fun, glamorous, over the top and energetic - yes; But a serious proposition - no. Personally I don't care about the 'serious' in pop music - but I think the quality and diversity of his 70s output deserves a little (re)appraisal, and displays a natural flair and musical dexterity that has not been appreciated.

I don't think even I am quite ready to reappraise the two decades that followed (excepting the two excellent instrumental B-sides recorded as 'Lord Choc Ice' in 1983), but his last three albums released since 2001 certainly have their moments, reflecting and responding to his early seventies highlights.

This lot neatly fits on to a single CD - that was the limiting factor. Several tracks that didn't quite make the cut will follow would make a fine bonus EP. I don't expect many new converts to Elton John's cause, but hope that there is something to tickle most people's fancy.

Your Starter for....

Elton was not a big instrumental track fan, probably due to the fact that wordsmith Taupin would be somewhat redundant. It is interesting to note that it is their last collaboration (Blue Moves) before the acrimonious split, that includes three instrumentals. This is written with his long-time band guitarist Caleb Quaye, and sounds like a lost library track used for a forgotten breakfast TV talkshow. Upbeat and bouncy.

Sixties Years On

An amazing ominous string arrangement sweeps in this track, which manages to combine classical, folk and latin influences creating a unique aural experience. From his second album.

Just like strange rain

This B-side is as close to psychedelic pop that Elton reached. I think it works pretty well with distorted guitar opening, nice organ throughout, ending in a classic wig out. B-side to his third (flop) solo 45 'It's me that you need' from 1969.

Yell Help

Part of the opening medley to 1975's 'Rock of the Westies'. Reminds me a little of Paul McCartney's little experiments throughout his output. On the surface a simple little ditty, but it's those strange backing vocals that make it for me.

Bad side of the moon

This is the Elton John track you can safely play out at any eclectic music gathering. It's catchy, has a wee little break, and is generally funky, and has strings too! I love this track. B-side to Border Song (on which the backing choir is led by one Barbara Moore), single from his second self-titled album.

Billy Bones and the white bird

A pulsating epic, almost prog-glam, track from 1975, which breaks the standard EJ formula with an interesting orchestral beat, intricate and changing rhythms and fun keyboard work. Probably too much for most folk. (From Rock Of The Westies)

Flinstone Boy

After the Blue Moves LP Elton had to consider life after Taupin, his long-term writing partner. Before his first 80s LP came out (with a new collaborator), he released a 45 - two tracks - one with Taupin, one by just Elton. This is Elton's solo effort and is a lonely but defiant statement to going it alone. I'm sure it is a coded message to someone. I like the striped down simplicity.

House of cards

Another B-side (to 'Somebody saved my life'), an effortless example of the country-infected Elton John tune. I do like the tracks that don't overplay his piano playing. This one removes it entirely - just some laid back organ. Nothing amazing - but makes me happy.

Across the havens

An early folky outing, before his first album came out. Suggests something of what was to come, but also shows the choices that Elton was making - was he going to follow Donovan down the folk route, or look to America for inspiration? Although there are some folk tracks on the first couple of albums, they soon disappear from his repertoire.

Jack Rabbit

Throwaway country nonsense. Silly but fun. A B-side contemporary of the Goodbye Yellow Brick Road album.

Gulliver

Another great opening to a track. What follows is a chilled moving folk tale of death and memories. Part of a medley on the first album (hence the violent cut-off).

I think I'm going to kill myself

Strange honkey-tonk suicide note. An example of that hit and miss eclecticism that in this case hits. Found on the Honkey Chateau LP,1972.

Theme from a non-existent T.V. series

Another instrumental. The description describes it pretty well. So - did Elton do any library stuff? He certainly had a flair for it! (from Blue Moves)

Madman across the water

Probably the best-known track of the collection. Classic EJ - epic, long, strings, a groove. The title track to his forth album, which contains Tiny Dancer. Could that be Herbie Flowers on the bass?

The Cage

Another track you can play out, though you have to hold your breath through the moog solo in the middle. It reminds me of 'Werewolves of London' for obvious howling references. This sits on the self-titled second album.

Boogie Pilgrim

This is where we get funky. It's not all about the famous 'Are you ready for love' - there are several great soul, gospel, proto-disco numbers to be found. This funky blues number ends with the wonderful contribution of the The Cornerstone Institutional Baptist and Southern California Choir. (from Blue Moves)

Bite your lip (Get up and dance)

THE funky soul number. This is the business on the dancefloor (I imagine - will experiment soon). Great Conga action and fine strings from Gene Page. Again from Blue Moves - a hugely underrated (double) album.

Ego

The other side to the Flinstone Boy 45. Sign-posting the way to the 80s, but via Sparks. This is close to the edge, but I'm invariably drawn back to it. Am I wrong?

Curtains

The perfect ending. Starting with possibly one of the weirdest opening lines - "I used to know this scarecrow, he was my song". This ends the great Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy concept album. I don't know what the concept is, but it is certainly concluded rather well with this rousing bombastic number.

So that's it for now, and I haven't even got to the track that has Dusty Springfield, Madeline Bell, Lesley Duncan and Tony Hazzard as backing singers; Or the one with the great Herbie Flowers bassline; Or his version of Lesley Duncan's Love Song; Or the 6 min prog-jazz fusion instrumental; Or his work on Francis Lai's The Games soundtrack...... coming soon.

2009-03-07T15:08:00.007Z

July 2008

After a six month break, while the ICA bar is refurbished, ILN returns for a more relaxed series of monthlies. Most months will feature an 'informal' theme, usually linked to an event happening somewhere in the ICA that evening. Tonight the 'fictional' band LUSTFAUST were playing live, and their supposed origins came out of the early Krautrock scene in the 70s, combined with free jazz, experimental and anarchic leanings. We attempted to play the soundtrack to their formative years.

December 2007

Christmas is traditionally the season for musical nightmares. More of those Best-of-Has-Beens compilations; yet another ‘Best Xmas Album Ever In the World, Ever’; the ‘race’ for the Christmas Number One (Cliff versus [insert flavour-of-the-month]); the latest novelty sleigh-bell and mistletoe inspired tune…….

Midsummer Madness

2007-07-29T20:56:00.001Z

June 2007

The day after the Midsummer Solstice, we present a night of fabulous folk, mystical melodies and pagan pomp... Music to inspire summer shananagins - to roll in meadows, make daisy-chains, frolic through fields, punt down rivers and, of course, the odd sacrifice to ancient gods.

Noodling

2007-05-04T10:02:00.000Z

April 2007

Just about the longest track on one side of a seven inch single, to our knowledge, is 8’ 57”. For this evening we will be playing tracks that are generally longer than that. You just can’t noodle at 45, it has to be done at 33! Expect lots of nice jazz noodling; a few prog-tastic epics; soulful wigged-out grooves and funky jams; perhaps even the odd psychedelic drug-induced meandering.

Charts 1 - Mandy More

2007-03-16T22:37:00.002Z

Mandy More – But that is me Philips 1972

A beautiful and moving album, one we know little about. On playing it through we discovered that ‘If Not by Fire’ was familiar – featured on St Etienne’s Trip compilation. This is one of the 2 tracks which features some great electronic / moogy effects (or possibly distorted guitar) and is mighty impressive. But the album is so not a 1-tracker, it is one of those perfectly formed and complete albums. Mandy More has a great voice and the arrangements are gloriously baroque – strings, harp, layers of voices, piano – and great songs too. Highlights, if they must be picked are: ‘But That is Me’ (should have been a single – catchy uplifting song), ‘Listen Babe’ (gentle grooving number), ‘Come to me Jesus’ (lush complex orchestral, with a great twisting and swelling ending); ‘If I smiled on Saturdays’ (catchy uptempo number featuring congas and melodica, which is available on a later single). For us the best is the closing number – a fantastic cover of ‘God only Knows’ – the distorted guitar effects return and the drums give it a funky edge, with even a harmonica solo from Mandy! Produced by a certain Tony Hall, if that means anything to anyone.... Find this album if you can, you need it!

A little more about Mandy More:

Mandy More, a respected singer in musicals in the late sixties and early seventies (including Godspell with David Essex), was invited to record an album by Tony Hall, 60s radio DJ and music entrepreneur, for Philips. The resulting album was entitled ‘But that is me’ and was released in 1972.

The album is now recognised as a lost classic of baroque pop, masterly orchestrated and arranged by Nick Harrison, who worked with the Rolling Stones (Goats Head Soup), amongst other artists. The recording sessions featured some top musicans: Mike Todman (who went on to form Blue Goose), Philip Chen (who played with Graham Bond, Jeff Beck and Rod Stewart), Richard Bailey (who played with Jeff Beck, Gonzales and Bob Marley), Lennox Langton (who played with Brian Auger and Lenny White).

The album features original songs by Mandy More, and one cover of the Beach Boys’ song - ‘God Only Knows’. The best known track is ‘If not by fire’ which was recently included in the compilation ‘The Trip’ by Saint Etienne.

The album was followed by two single releases in 1973 again on Philips - ‘San Francisco Sam / Coffee Cups’ (both being non-album originals) and ‘Every Mothers Child / Blue Seasons’ single followed in 1973 (both also original non-album tracks).

Despite Radio 1 airplay from Noel Edmonds, the album made no impact on the charts and no further album followed. In 1975 a further single was released on the Fresh Air label featuring an album track and the original song ‘Rose coloured window’. There are references to a possible live performance in 1975 in Tamworth, UK.

The perfect song

2007-03-16T22:33:00.000Z

Following an online discussion about whether it was possible to create the perfect song / track, whether that would be a good thing or not (some times it is the flaws that make a track unique), we got thinking as to what some examples might be.... Tracks that grab you from the start, bewitch you, stay with you and have no element of - "yes it's good, but I just wish they hadn't....". There is nothing that you can think of that should be, in any way, changed. It is interesting that this sometimes makes for a song which is successfully covered by many artists (ie. I Feel The Earth Move), but other times it stands clearly as the definitive or only version (anyone prefer the Tom Jones version of Kiss?).

We came up with a diverse collection. A playlist of perfection:

Tangled up in blue - Bob Dylan (actually, all of Blood on the Tracks)
Don't ya hear me callin' to ya - Fifth Dimension
Wild World - Cat Stevens
Song with no words - David Crosby
Kiss - Prince
The day before you came - ABBA
Shot by both sides - Magazine
Blister in - Violent Femmes
Novocaine for the soul - Eels
My Funny Valentine - Chet Baker
Song 2 - Blur

I Feel the Earth Move - Carole King

Any other suggestions?

Good versus Evil

2007-03-16T19:49:00.000Z

September 2006
This month sees us exploring Good versus Evil. So - does the devil have the best tunes? We intend to find out. In the black corner is the Beast’s legion of heavy bass lines and backward lyrics; In the white corner, God’s massed choirs of hippy angels. Dirty, fiery funk and rock takes on the Xian soul and folk. Music inspired by the eternal battle.
