OREGON - 1000 Kilometers (2007)

Taking a look at the blog list of preferences, I noticed that OREGON are in a good position.

I come here with another work of the band. This is a rip of a CD I bought in 2007 and is another piece of the long way of OREGON in their splendid music.

I have another CD release in 2002 and probably i will post soon.

In the meantime join this one:

ORGONE - Moonshadaws (2021)

Orgone is a band from L.A. California. Active since '90 with a soul-psychedelic-chill sound.

In 2024 they just release "Chimera" a very good work.

In this period I am listening to several Soul-Funky music and this band becomes an increasingly frequent companion of my listening sessions.

Here I am posting a 2021 release "Moonshadows". A collection of songs with a lot of featuring voices.

I take this from Bandcamp and offer here for your pleasure:

MORPHINE - Cure For Pain (1993)

Cure for Pain was the 2nd album of Morphine. The band from Boston created an original sound not easy to classify. Mark Sandman was the main actor with his two string bass and low tones voice. The result is really excellent.

ART PEPPER QUINTET - Shack Up 1960 (2024)

Among classical Jazz artists Art Pepper is my favourite. A perfect mix of instruments and rhythms. Here a classic work just remastered (2024 Contemporary records acoustic sounds) on quality double vinyl for audiophile .

I just found it (FLAC24_192) on the web and I want to share this gem.

some additional info here (in italian) about this release ( also from the web):

“La serie Contemporary Records’ Acoustic Sounds si basa su riproduzioni fedeli degli originali, su vinile di alta qualità: queste ristampe – importate dagli Stati Uniti – sono autentici “must-have” per gli audiofili. Questa volta tocca ad un favoloso album del 1960, in cui l’ineguagliabile (e in effetti tanto originale quanto poco imitato) altosassofonista Art Pepper è alla testa di un quintetto che ben rappresenta la crème del jazz californiano, con Jack Sheldon alla tromba, Pete Jolly al piano, Jimmy Bond al contrabbasso e Frank Butler alla batteria. Album che sfata definitivamente la fama ‘jazz californiano = rilassato e di facile ascolto’: qui, al contrario, il gioco si fa serrato, lo swing incalza ed il repertorio comprende anche “Tears Inside” di un certo Ornette Coleman, che proprio su etichetta Contemporary aveva esordito pochi mesi prima. Ne sortisce un album sensazionale. L’incisione fu curata dal leggendario tecnico Roy DuNann e da Howard Holzer, i cui nastri sono stati ripresi e restaurati da Bernie Grundman e quindi stampati presso Quality Record Pressing (QRP). La confezione è la riproduzione fedele (nella grafica come nei materiali) dell’edizione storica.”

TUXEDOMOON - Half Mute /Scream with a view (1986)

Recently, at a local fier, I had a copy of Half Mute by Tuxedomoon vinyl (1980).

Tuxedomoon was one of my favourite band in the '80 and luckily I have had the opportunity to see them live a couple of time before the dead of Peter Principle (bass guitar pillar of the band) some years ago.

You can see on this blog some posts related to that live concert in Italy.

Here you can hear a mp3 version of a compilation that combine the original Half Mute tracks plus Scream with a view (4 tracks).
