Tonight... Persuasive Percussion 1966 on vinyl. I'm a huge fan of this stuff. Command Records put out several volumes of these including one called bongos which is simply fantastic. All of these PP albums have bongos however.. and flutes and lots of percussion giving them a very beatnik/film noir feel that I really dig. Great stuff!

Bongos rule! I have a couple of the Command Records volumes myself. Incredible audio fidelity without starting to sound modern. There's also a really good similar album on the Time label called Like Bongos.
I sort of collect good bongo records, including some fun instruction records on how to play 'em (the bongos, not the records...). The bongos are also being my favorite instrument to play after the guitar. Not to mention that one of my all time favorite surf bands used them to great effect!

Haven't listened to these in quite a while, so was happy to find that to me they still remain astonishing masterpieces. It truly blows my mind that a single band could produce music this varied, complex and simply beautiful. Pure rock art. PS Listening to these albums also made me realize how much of my musical aestethic has been shaped by album-oriented rock, this notion of the album as a whole and complete statement. Obviously this is largely at odds with surf music as well as the whole early-to-mid-sixties aestethic, but it was already there among some of my favorite instro bands of that time - I think the Shadows certainly approached their albums as more than just a few good tracks and a bunch of filler, and paid as much attention to the albums as they did to the singles - as did the Atlantics and the Ventures, I think. I still love that so much, an album as a concept, even if a loose one - just a united entity that is capable of telling a musical 'story' (not necessarily a narrative one) from the beginning to the end, and getting swept up in that story and the varied emotions contained within. Here comes the old-timer talking: I find it sad that younger people don't seem to care about that sort of a thing anymore, and certainly buying tracks one at a time on iTunes or whatever doesn't help. Oh well, the only constant in the world is change and I'm sure the young people will be just fine. And I'm just glad that I still get to enjoy those great albums of the past. (BTW, you can really hear the Beach Boys' influence in harmony arrangements on those Queen albums, damn...) —Ivan Last edited: Nov 29, 2011 13:38:48 |

Well put Ivan! Day at the Races is my favorite of the two, but they are both great. |
