Favoriting Explorers Room with Flash Strap: Playlist from April 5, 2018 Favoriting

Flash Strap's avatar View Flash Strap's profile Favoriting

This is where all of culture and all of time are collapsed into one seductive portal and viewed through the panoramic lens of the exotic. Come and embark on an armchair-travel virtual-voyage to the heart of timeless darkness and beyond; embrace the numinous monolith of the exotic immensity. Let us find that place where hybridization meets its destiny as pure fantasy. Let us become observers observing those others who are ourselves. You wear your mask and I'll wear mine.

I had a nice show planned for tonight, but then my hard drive went belly up, so I'm improvising an all-vinyl show tonight. Which is for the best I think – what's better than all vinyl, little to no planning? i dug out a bunch of latin records, surf, exotica, jazz... let's see what happens

Digging this Lateef! (And then thought...wait, do I have this filed? And apparently - yes! Procured from area used book store ca. 2007 according to price sticker. Gonna have to spin again over the weekend...) Hi Flash, everyone.
Avatar 7:13pm
Flash Strap:

even more than my preference for the way vinyl sounds – a difference which is real and good, tho not always "better" per se – is the way vinyl transforms music (ephemeral) into a discreet object that is more than an object or commodity; it becomes an artifact, with aura and history and tactility, and I rhapsodize and adore to be in possession and in interaction with each LP I have. the true vinyl difference in my humble opinion

JtotheK:

Flash @7:13pm - over the years I've come to enjoy the interaction with LPs/45s but lately especially enjoy the thought that goes into pruning. My collection/interests have changed the past 15+ years (I was incredibly intimidated by the 45 world up until a few years ago). 3-4 times a year I'll go through my LP collection and what hasn't been listened to in a while I debate in my head trading in to area stores. I'm glad you spun the Lateef record, as it's a reminder to keep that hard filed!

Good on you for improvising, Evan! I once showed at a gig straight after work and we couldn't get the turntables to work. I just bought a laptop, and only had my music uploaded to it w/ no mixing software. So, I ended up tandeming YouTube videos and my mp3s all night. (I still brought two flight cases to work and to the club and back home for nothing.)

It’s just a missed opportunity. If BSR had invented a laser turntable they would still be in business. I don’t mind the warble, I don’t like the distortion at the end of a side. Drove me crazy. Especially on Pink Floyd and yes records.

I recall, c.1985, visiting my favorite stereo equipment store, where they first played my copy of Sequentia's first "Ordo Virtutum" (3 LPs) pre-cleaning, then ran a disk through the Keith Monk machine. They played it again. Stunning improvement!

Anthony, not at all, I dig Yes, not all of it. I understand why some may not like 'em (psych cheesiness?) but.. "Relayer" = my fave. "Close to the Edge" is really trippy; interrupting *that* for a dust-off may have sent people over the edge. So I like Yes, but don't tell any smirky post-punkers tho, I'm tryin' to keep clear of the Prog Police.

I just got into the fall after that dude died. I was late at the game and there were no clear entry points.

Once heard an A/B of A) Close to the Edge, first pressing, so-so quality, and B) Mobile Fidelity remaster of the album. Both had their high points, but the beat-up early disk was really vibrant.

Fave Yes album: Tales. Close to the Edge comes next, then the earlier stuff. Relayer was a bit of a let-down.

Fragile is overrated. The yes album underrated. @coela, i think you are right.

...which brings to mind Yessongs, one helluvan amazing live album that doesn't quite get the respect it deserves.

i've *liked* the fall from the beginning, then got really tired of the lack of evolution; but after M E.S died i heard (on these here airwaves) some fall stuff i'd never heard that blew my mind.

Flash, I don’t listen to the stream often, but this is a good show so I will tune in from now on. I gave you a try because the guy on the main stream played my dads music.

Anthony -fragile may be overrated because it had the breakthrough hit on it, but (despite the lack of continuity) it does have some spectacular songs...roundabout being one of them.

Jon and Vangelis (released as Vangelis in '75) was among the first LPs I purchased at the venerable Moby Disc in Van Nuys. Good, but no way was their partnership better than Yes's finest, mentioned by many above.
