rolf kuhn septet- going to the rainbow, aka "creaction" 1970 , flac and lame vbr




Heres a fusion record I really like, a stunner.
Not much can be faulted here and tony oxley really stokes that engine room in a way he never would now, his playing here is similar to that on the classic extrapolation by john mcglaughlin from a year or so before .
At times corea and Joachim kuhn do tend to dominate somewhat, neither are particularly known for subtle understatement.

A lot of this is obviously influenced by bitches brew era miles.. with a little bit of a unique European free flavour,.
An exiting stew.
Oxleys one of my favourite musicians, and im planning to reup both incus 8 and febuary papers as well as a couple of other fusion albums from roughly this same time.

Id love to hear peter warren’s bass is from the same year if anyone has that , an early enja release also featuring corea and surman.
this is ripped from the 1978 acanta lp reissue.

i love this kind of fusion too and i had no idea this even existed!

i have warren's "bass is" but need to find it. will up when i do.

what oxley fusion records are you referring to?

i also like hearing him in non-improv settings as well (although i love his improv playing and improv in general). the sugarcane harris record oxley is on is great.

thank you for sharing

a nice album but does anyone have rolf and joachim kuhn "reunion in berlin" on cbs ? it would be a fantastic post.thanks for the music as usual. gz

SOTISE said...

yeah andy, its the sugarcane harris album.. it is good... an odd tension there when oxley whips out his contact mikes and throws in those low fi stereo effects and electro cymbal washes while the others funk and riff all around him..
ANDY IT'D BE GREAT IF YOU COULD UP BASS IS.

g.z...
no i dont have reunion in berlin sadly.. i have very little rolf K.

THERE ARE A COUPLE OF INTERESTING ONES ( IF THE LINKS ARE STILL ACTIVE ON THE MAGIC OF JUJU BLOG.

devil in paradise sounds great ...perhaps youd consider ripping it, mp3 's high vbr would be adequate.. how about it eh!!

ushaped said...

hi sotise,

thx again for all your shares!

ushaped said...

dear sotise,

would you consider upping the other Roger Dean Lysis LP you mention as "less interesting" in the original post, I'd love to hear that!

thx

SOTISE said...

andy , i shall rip the other roger dean album sometime, i have other things id like to post first, and ill tell you from the outset its no where near as good.

is there any possibility of re ripping the track subrahar on bass is its very digitaly glitched.
thanks for doing it though , its a great album and the digital glitching is at a cursory listen only pervasive on the one track.
what do you say eh??

im curious as to whether anyone else noticed the glitching on that track.
thanks

ushaped said...

hi sotise,

Sorry about that, the glitching is definitely there. I have 2 different rips of the album, neither of which are mine. I'll find the second and up.
I look forward to the Lysis. Lysis Plus was a very good LP, I'm not surprised this other one suffers in comparison.

thanks again

Devil in Paradise is available at Magic Purple Sunshine.

Unfortunately, it looks like all the links are gone again.

Thad said...

I just realized I still have the FLAC version if you need it. Also have a 256 kbps version of "Devil in Paradise" if you need that. :)

Hi Thad - your offer is highly appreciated!
