Suddenly it is hazy mid-summer complete with flies and sweaty heat.
Whatever happened to those lovely warm, fresh air days of early
summer - oh yes, that's right. It rained. However, the moon rising
from the sea at Aldeburgh was pretty impressive.

Brooke's Waltz - Don Ross (Ontario, Canada)
The son of a Scottish immigrant father and a Mi'kmaq aboriginal mother, Don was born in Montreal in 1960 into a musical family. He first started experimenting with the solo possibilities of the acoustic guitar at the age of eight. By age ten he was playing in alternate tunings and exploring "fingerstyle" technique, a right hand discipline similar to classical guitar playing. Preferring to write original music and develop a personal style, Don's self-taught journey on the instrument has encouraged him to follow his musical intuition. The result is an unclassifiable musical style that borrows from jazz, folk, rock and classical music. When asked, Don usually pigeonholes his music as "Heavy Wood"!

When things go wrong … and they get put right it's almost better than them not going wrong in the first place! Alesis mixer, Plantronics headset both fixed as things should be. Minimum disruption.
I had a Rick Fowler track lined up that Jeremy and I have been enthusing about for the past couple of weeks, since his appearance on SnC 124, then, as I was prepping, I came across this on the PMN. It blew me totally away.
Feel So Much Better - Rick Fowler (Georgia, USA)
Rick Fowler's musical honesty creates an unsurpassed morphic resonance between him and his listeners. With a raw soul reminiscent of early Johnny Winter and aural suspense akin to Trower, Fowler delivers the energy, joy, anger and torment found in the very best of blues-rock. Preacher is from his album Back on my good foot available direct from his site or from CD Baby. Credit due to all musicians on the album:
BASS: Michael C. Steele
DRUMS: Gerry Hansen,

The next track has lots of reference to the sounds of Marley when I was with the band clavinet through wah-wah and a clear nod in the direction of session maestro Wayne Perkins for his transforming guitar breaks on the Catch a Fire album which I think very cleverly made the Marley reggae breakthrough possible with a rather jaded European audience.

Valse Chromatique - Nico Spahni (Switzerland)
Prematurely born on a cold yet allegedly sunny November morning in 1972, the artist took to shaking his baby shaker at an early age and has been dabbling in manifold music styles, ranging from ambient electronica and experimental improvisation to music for film and contemporary dance, ever since. More music and videos can be found at www.myspace.com/nicospahni
Call me Moon - Sputnik has Crashed (over a field of virgins) (Rouen, France)
Prozac for masses est le premier album de Sputnik has crashed (over a field of virgins). Ce avant tout un projet, une ébauche, juste pour me mettre le pied à l'étrier et me forcer à réaliser des productions plus propres.
Prozac for masses est initialement publié avec 3 morceaux, mais il donnera le jour à une nouvelle tentative, comprenant notamment les mêmes morceaux mais retravaillés plus tard.
Call me moon est un titre qui fait honneur à une charmante jeune fille qui m'a ému bien que je ne l'ai jamais rencontrée (ça arrive).
