de man in black

Sly running of almost purely aura at this point

comes out halfway through the jam , boogies a bit, noodles on guitar a bit, sings a couple bars... end of song

side note; finally saw Sinners today... when the funk guitarist appeared

yeah I definitely am. spent years just knowing GF more off their rep and iconography before I finally heard them and this is their first album that actually kinda sound like I expected them to back in the day. thought they were more somewhere between Floyd and Hawkwind lol nope. first album with some actually trippy production flourishes.

you didnt notice the production f***ery on Anthem of the Sun somehow?

I dont recall it didnt stand out to me

been years since I revisited tho

theres also 2 versions, one which was made a few years later to refine it and tone down the amateur production f***ery

they were just high in the studio going nuts twisting knobs, layering lots of different live recordings on top of each other, making things randomly pan left to right

yeah I dont like anything they did in the 60s really. even Live/Dead I just keep around out of respect for its stature.

i guess its their earthiness of the 70s that helped you

wonder how youll feel about the more stadium-esque sound they settle into by '77. more high energy crowd pleasers, less jazzy and nimble and only psychedelic a few times per show

Rip goat

Feel like a****** for this post now

Nah, you were honest

Ill take Red over Crimson King most days

DAC is a legend

This is album of the year

He got clapped for being an apartheid supporter

I know we've already been on this year for too long because I did my first listen to this while going for a walk in a snowstorm

Yeah probably about equal for me. Mowed my lawn to this yesterday and it was hitting.

The goat of all music
