– Perhaps a historical nod here as this was easily my favorite lp back in ‘98…still like…in ’98…loved.
Songs
1) Crystal Ball – Prince (Crystal Ball- Official)
– If you know Prince you know there is no video link…so a brief description as I don’t envision anyone searching out this 3 disc gem (4+The Truth). First few minutes are minimal drum loops and ambience which tweaked a bit wouldn’t be out of place on the below Boards Of Canada or Clint Mansell tracks (These were cut after I wrote this :()…then 3 minutes or so of some of the most naked funk of his career…lyrics conflating sexuality, mysticism, and god…finishing off with 4 min of studio funk wizardry…just to prove some sort of point…that he is indeed a bad motherfucker alone in the studio.
2) Super Roots 7 – Boredoms
3) Floating Boy – Fugazi (End Hits)
4) Regular John – Queens Of The Stone Age (Q.O.T.S.A.)
– A bit more Kyuss tone…less QOTSA…
5) Stevie – Royal Trux (Accelerator)
6) Sister Sleep – The Loud Family (Days For Days)
6) The Boy With The Arab Strap – Belle & Sebatian (The Boy With The Arab Strap)
7) Dog Gone – Frank Black (Frank Black & The Catholics)
8) The Season Reverse – Gastr Del Sol (Camoufluer)
9) Wild Flower Soul – Sonic Youth (A Thousand Leaves)
10) Mysterious Tunnel – Vic Chestnutt (The Salesman & Bernadetee)
– Lp version is vastly superior to this live version…my opinion…this or the next track Arthur Murray.
PS… Came across this from The Vandermark 5 in ’98 on you tube…not familiar with it enough to put on this list but wow.
