Third album by Soft Machine (Prog-Rock/Art-Rock, 1970)

If you like jazz but without missing Canterbury-Scene-riffs, Wyatt and his crew made it possible in their best career album (IMO) named Third.

Tracks:

Title/Composer/Time
1 Facelift/Hopper/18:45
2 Slightly All the Time/Ratledge/18:12
3 Moon in June/Wyatt/19:08
4 Out-Bloody-Rageous/Ratledge/19:13

by Peter Kurtz
The Soft Machine plunged deeper into jazz and contemporary electronic music on this pivotal release, which incited the Village Voice to call it a milestone achievement when it was released. It's a double album of stunning music, with each side devoted to one composition -- two by Mike Ratledge, and one each by Hopper and Wyatt, with substantial help from a number of backup musicians, including Canterbury mainstays Elton Dean and Jimmy Hastings. The Ratledge songs come closest to fusion jazz, although this is fusion laced with tape loop effects and hypnotic, repetitive keyboard patterns. Hugh Hopper's "Facelift" recalls "21st Century Schizoid Man" by King Crimson, although it's more complex, with several quite dissimilar sections. The pulsing rhythms, chaotic horn and keyboard sounds, and dark drones on "Facelift" predate some of what Hopper did as a solo artist later (this song was actually culled from two live performances in 1970). Robert Wyatt draws on musical ideas from early 1967 demos done with producer Giorgio Gomelsky, on his capricious composition "Moon in June." Lyrically, it's a satirical alternative to the pretension displayed by a lot of rock writing of the era, and combined with the Softs' exotic instrumentation, it makes for quite a listen (the collection Triple Echo includes a BBC broadcast recording of this song, with different albeit equally fanciful lyrics). Not exactly rock, Third nonetheless pushed the boundaries of rock into areas previously unexplored, and it managed to do so without sounding self-indulgent. A better introduction to the group is either of the first two records, but once introduced, this is the place to go.

The new RHCP album is junk.

Are You Experienced
-The Jimi Hendrix Experience

One of the best albums of all time^.

I have a vinyl original. I bought like 100 albums in some box at a garage sale for like 20 bucks, there were some great ones in there, like every Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath album.

Speaking of, Master of Reality by Black Sabbath

Amazing. Possibly the best folk song I've ever heard.

You have great taste
And Sabbath was awesome, Master of Reality one of their best. Sweet Leaf, Children of the Grave and the highly under-rated Orchid/Lord of the World combo on side two.

Check out Spiral Architect
I think its on Sabbath Bloody Sabbath
The best Black Sabbath song most people have never heard of

Ironically, as I type this, "You Can't Kill Rock and Roll" from Diary of a Madman just came on my iTunes shuffle

YES! I fully agree with this. The bassline to that song, especially during the chorus is awesome.

Megalomania is another great Sabbath song no one has heard/talks about

[Emmz]

Only because most people have only heard their two songs that were big hits.

Actual sabbath fans listen to whole albums regularly. I conisder Sabbath to be one of my favorites. During the Ozzy years they really did not record a bad song, and influenced heavier music forever.
