totally different bands, both of which are excellent in their own way, but for some reason i always automatically link guided by voices to built to spill... ~ Yesterday:  heat on a CD. and great tribute to a guy i'd never ever heard of, strange considering i LOVE jazz violin:   |

i've seen the name numerous times and have read some good press - that spelling of 'shjips' - are they dutch?
or maybe fake dutch?
because this solo album lopez was touring was very UN-traditional, i'm very looking forward to this later today.
there was no chance yesterday after i discovered and DL'd it:
Cachaito Lopez
Royal Festival Hall
6 April 2002
London, UK
A great show from Cachaito Lopez, in support of his solo album. It’s a mixture of Cuban/Jazz/Funk/Hip-hop.
The band
Cachaito Lopez - Double bass
Carlos Gonzalez - Percussion
?? – Percussion
Manuel Galban – Guitar, Keyboard
Bigga Morrison – Hammond organ
Yaure Muniz – Trumpet
Policarpo Tamayo – Flute
Dee Nasty – Turntables
Jimmy James – Sax
Pee Wee Ellis – Sax disc 2, track 2 onwards
Couldn’t identify the second percussionist – might be Anga Diaz.
Audience recording. Panasonic WM61A capsules>D8>Soundforge>Wav>Flac
Quality: very good/ex

pretty odd, but probably smart in an international marketing sort of way, to give a some small distance away from yee-haw american-ness....and that song 'flight' IS pretty doggoned good. my first impression was ok, mid-career dire straits, then the psych guitar comes in, noodling all the way through the straits' groove to the end - left me with an impression of the ozrics. ~ NP:   wonderful stuff to just totally space out on. all instrumental pieces that just swirl all about you. their 2007 'rayon de lune' is equally great with perhaps a few degrees more of a less restrained arabic character going on than on 'jardin', including (i could swear) several vocals, none of which scared me off. |

^ ^ ^ agreed with Thorns here! Reminds me a lot of what I was listening to a few years ago, esp. with the band THE WARLOCKS. Like quite a number of times, I was going through a music phase and that just pulled the trigger. The 'phase' at the moment is a complete 180° turn as I am discovering the early years of [shadow=red,left,300]WAR[/shadow]I want to draw a close parallel to the band Chicago and that group's first few albums when the musicianship was all the thing -- the deep cuts of WAR are practically mind-blowing to me.... very trippy and jammy! |

;D ;D ;D Indeed, that was me! That Wooden Shjips-album has been a mainstay on my stereo for the last few months. Glad you dug it! Greets back, not quite from the outback but more from the outskirts of town.... |

correct, but for the want of another consonant in the place of that 'C'.
don's got me researching those albums just on the 'the deep cuts of WAR are practically mind-blowing to me....very trippy and jammy!' which is on a parallel w/early CTA/chicago?
i knew OF them but they never made my rotation.
whoa, better late than never, eh?
certainly right up MY alley as well!
thank you don!

That's the 2nd White Duck right? The one that has John Hiatt in the band? Let me know how on par it is with the debut. Also still need that "guidence" in the GBV dept. as to what you'd recommend me to get next............ |
