I wish I had as much time to listen to music as you my friend

 

Just caught this on Twitter :



So...

 

Another fav of mine by Shocking Blue


No cover will ever be better than this original.

Even in their 1st album with Fred de Wilde before Mariska Veres replaced him, Robbie van Leeuwen's already an interesting guitarist and songwriter.

The legacy of Camaron de la Isla lives on!

Incidentally, one of the girls above looks like Marisol, a Spanish child star in the 60s.

The Strokes - The New Abnormal

I like it. Obviously not at the level of their first two, but not many are. Compares favorably to solid 80s new wave records.

 

I have sort of a side project that's important to me. I'm putting together a playlist and I'm trying to find something similar nearly identical that can follow the song below. I know it's rather New Agey and probably not something popular with most here, but if whoever reads this can think of something specific that sounds like it could have come off the same album please let me know. Otherwise, don't let me derail things.

 

That could be a thematic variation of Arto Tuncboyaciyan's song "They Love Me from Fifteen Feet Away."

Arto + Marc Johnson, 1992


Arto + Al Di Meola, 1993

Wouldn't you know, Amazon doesn't have the first song you posted. They do have the shortened 1:24 opening though, which I really, really like. It's not a seamless fit, but I'm going to find a place for it. Maybe before. (The more songs I add the harder it gets to make them all mesh.)

I found a couple more songs from Arto Tuncboyaciyan's huge and very diverse catalog that I like as well. Thank you for sharing. I had never heard of him and I doubt very much I would have come across him on my own.

Marc Johnson is going to take me even longer to get through, but many albums I can rule out quickly.

Thanks again!

 

This is all most solid.
