Wave
Patti Smith Group released Wave on May 17, 1979. It's produced by Todd Rundgren and features a love song to The Godmother of Punk's future husband, Fred "Sonic" Smith. It's the final album before Patti's nearly decade-long retirement to raise her family. Todd's presence helped Patti transition from the gritty CBGB punk scene into a mainstream rock poet. #pattismith #pattismithgroup #wave #70srock #rockmusic #70smusic #music #musicsky #musiciansky #soncismith…

Abdou El Omari
https://amf.didiermary.fr/abdou-el-omari/
Ultra rare Oriental psychedelic trilogy from the organ king of Casablanca, Abdou El Omari, combining traditional rhythms with spaced out modern sounds. Considered a pioneer of Moroccan psychedelia, his generation of musicians revolutionized traditional music and opened wider horizons without altering its soul.

Well, stick that in your fuse box … look what turns 50 today …
May 14, 1976 ~ AC/DC release High Voltage in The States. Music critics weren't impressed and took the band to task for taking rock to the basement. Rolling Stone's Billy Altman said rock hit "an all-time low" with its release. Everyone can be wrong now and then -- the album has sold well over 3 million just here in the States. #acdc #highvoltage #70srock #rockmusic #70smusic #music #musicsky #musiciansky…

Started out this morning feeling so polite
I always thought a fish could not be caught who didn't bite
But you've got some bait a waitin' and I think I might

RICHARD BEIRACH
Eon
1975 U.S. pressingA stellar early evening slice of cool #jazz .
It would make sense that I really love this record, seeing that I’m a fan of Bill Evans. There’s some similarities here in the music, but BEIRACH stretches things out into a more atmospheric and pensive direction in some spots.
It’s far more romantic sounding and less in-your-face as some of Bill’s recordings.There’s a 12 minute version of Miles Davis’ “Nardis”, another piece that was long associated with Evans.
Here, it comes off very hypnotic.Eon is a very underrated album from that whole mid-#70s ECM period.
A perfect ‘unwinding in the early evening’ kind of record.#vinyl #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #vinylcollection #retro #vintage #art #music #analog #richardbeirach #eon #ecm #1970s #70smusic

Fela Kuti – Perambulator
https://amf.didiermary.fr/fela-kuti-perambulator/
Despite being credited to Egypt 80, “Perambulator” —backed with “Frustration”— was almost certainly recorded in January or early February 1977, years before the formation of the band.
On the original 1983 release, American trumpeter Lester Bowie, of the Art Ensemble of Chicago, was credited as guest soloist. Bowie stayed with Fela for a few weeks […]

VARIOUS ARTISTS
Hicks From The Sticks
1980 Canada pressingA KILLER compilation of #newwave and #postpunk meant to showcase bands from Northern England and other NON-London acts that were being ignored by the British music industry (and press) at the time simply for not being from London.
Tons of great bands that would go on to be important cult/underground acts like Modern Eon, Nightmares In Wax, Clock DVA, and Section 25.
It’s a great varied mix of cool music.
There’s even some icy industrial stuff here, as well as some atmospheric and experimental things, as well as some very melodic new wave.Phenomenal comp.

🇬🇧 David Bowie "The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars" – 1972

GENE CLARK
White Light
2023 Spain Ltd. Edition reissueA phenomenal note-perfect songwriting masterpiece for a fine Saturday afternoon.
It baffles my mind that this album was only a commercial success in the Netherlands when it came out in ‘71.
Sure.
NOW it’s recognized as the stroke of genius that it is, but how could have people missed it back then?More than anything else, White Light shows that Clark was the true heartbeat of The Byrds.
The lyrics are poetry, the music absolutely sublime. Incredible countrified melodies. Just amazing on all fronts.Listen to his take on “Tears Of Rage” and tell me his isn’t the best version.
I dare you.

WARREN ZEVON
Excitable Boy
1978 Canada pressingThe man, the myth, the legend gets last spin of the night.
Truly one of the greatest songwriters to ever walk the Earth, and a flawless album front to back.
It’s actually quite embarrassing.
There isn’t a song on this record that’s not great.
Not GOOD…
GREAT.A true one of a kind talent the likes we’ll never see or hear again.
If you’ve never seen it, go on YouTube and watch his final appearance on Letterman.
Zevon was dying, and Dave gave him the WHOLE show that night.Even on death’s door, he performed immaculately, and in the interview was funny, self-deprecating and fully the Warren we’ve always known.
It’s a remarkable and incredibly emotional watch.Excitable boy, they all said.
He sure was.
Just the greatest.

FRIPP & ENO
Evening Star
1980 Canada pressingA favorite for go-to early evening vibeage.
Two masters collaborating for the second time; most effectively on the beautiful title track, and the near 29 minute headfuck that is “An Index Of Metals”, which takes up the entirety of Side 2, which simmers and drones, becomes more distorted, disturbing and disfigured as it unfolds.
Truly one of the fifteen or so best #ambient #minimal albums of all time.
Long. Live. Frippertronics.

ROY HARPER
Stormcock
1971 UK pressingHats off to Roy Harper!
It’s hard to believe nobody really gave a shit about this when it came out.
Harvest absolutely loathed it.
It’s that age old story of “no singles, can’t sell it”.
Harvest claimed there was no money to promote it, but it’s 1971, and they were Harvest, so that’s clearly bullshit.It’s 2026 now, and we’ve known for a very long time how fucking brilliant it is. It’s by far Harper’s best album, and it’s even got a guest guitar solo on it from Jimmy Page (of course it does).
Johnny Marr of The Smiths cites this as a favorite of his, and calls it “Hunky Dory’s bigger, badder brother.”
High (and much deserved) praise.
Just a mind blowing early #70s masterpiece.

🇩🇰 Gasolin' "Efter endnu en dag" – 1976
Produced by Roy Thomas Baker who also produced Queen. A mature and expansive album that captures Gasolin’ at their creative peak. The sound blends rock, folk influences, and more atmospheric, almost progressive elements, resulting in a record that feels both grounded and ambitious...

Les Mangelepa – Nyako Konya
https://amf.didiermary.fr/mangelepa-nyako-konya/
Nairobi, Kenya, 1978. The popular Congolese Rumba band Les Mangelepa is finishing a session. Things are going well: they have recorded all the music they planned and still have an hour to kill before giving back the studio keys. How about improvising one last song on the spot?
And this is how ‘Nyako Konya’ was born. […] -
