[I advance masked] [Andy Summers & Robert Fripp] [LP] [1982] What happens when two extraordinary guitarists, each playing a completely different style, produce an album together? The result is a masterpiece called "I advance masked"! . Sometimes you think you can hear "The Police", at other times it sounds like "King Crimson" and all in all this album is full of great sound pearls. . Robert Fripp plays like a god, the fantastic Frippertronics captivate everyone! Andy Summers plays so loose, casual and dreamy in a way that is captivating, exciting and rousing at the same time. . By the way, the two exceptional artists, who are so different from each other, have known each other since their school days. Perhaps that is the reason why they harmonise so well on this album. In addition to the grandiose guitar work, both are also masters of various synthesizers, which they use skilfully to conjure up beautiful but also exciting and sometimes pleasantly restless and sometimes gloomy sound paintings. . An album with a wow effect! . . . . .

#luisterboek #currentlylistening #nuaanhetluisteren #listeningto Kevin de Haan - Islasec Detective 1 - Het bos van de legenden @islasecdetectives #islasec #kevindehaan #islasecdetectives #hetbosvandelegenden #saemundurpublishing Wie heeft dit boek al gelezen? Wat vond je er van? ............ Inhoud: Het beveiligingsbedrijf van de half-IJslandse Laufey Gísladóttir wordt door een rijke zakenman ingehuurd om een horlogediefstal op te lossen. Tijdens de werkzaamheden in de Achterhoekse villa wordt Lotte, de au pair van het gezin, echter vermoord aangetroffen in het aangrenzende bos. Laufey beseft dat haar beveiligingsmaatregelen misschien meer aanknopingspunten kunnen bieden in het politieonderzoek. Samen met haar collega Niels, een hacker met pleinvrees, zoekt ze uit wat er met Lotte gebeurd is. Is ze vermoord door dezelfde serie-aanrander die al eerder in het bos toegeslagen heeft? Is er een verband tussen de moord en de gestolen horloges? En wat heeft Lucien, de baldadige zoon van de zakenman, met de zaak te maken?

Revisiting Sandinista! - The Clash
I remember being so disappointed with this album when I first got it - not punk at all, but a strange mix of dub, funk, reggae, jazz and even a waltz, it was no Clash, or Give 'Em Enough Rope. I should have seen the warning signs, mind you: London Calling was a strange mix too, an obvious sign that The Clash were moving into a different direction. Not "Jazz Odyssey" different, but just, well, different.
I don't think I ever listened to the whole album in the first few weeks after I got it. Although this came out in 1980 I didn't buy it until the mid-80's when I was still in my "communism will save the day" phase, and the idea of an album named after left-wing Nicaraguan freedom fighters appealed to my solidly white middle-class political ideology. Remember, this is in the days before CD's and mp3's and Napster and Spotify, so I bought this on something called a 'cassette'. And a fucking double album to boot as well! Two cassettes worth, 24-tracks of punk goodness.
Or so I thought.
The Magnificent Seven starts us off. Now, I'm expecting White Riot here. Instead I get some kind of funk. Wind on (cassette, remember). Hitsville UK ... whit? Wind on. Junco Partner ... wind on ... Ivan Meets G.I. Joe ... at this point I am looking for the receipt. I skip side 2 altogether (it would take too long to wind to the end ..), try side 4 instead and last about as far as Midnight Log before pressing eject and putting the box-set in a drawer where i forget about it until 28th October 2019.
Listening to it now, 32(!) years later, Sandinista! is a classic. A flawed classic, but hey, even Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da doesn't make the White Album any less a masterpiece. You have to remember that when Sandinista! came out we had the likes of Johnny Logan, Kenny Rogers, Abba and Barbara Streisand topping the charts. I mean, the fucking St Winifred's School Choir where at #1 in the weeks between Christmas and New Year’s. Punk had died, truly. For the survivors, it was adapt or die. And the Clash certainly adapted. On 1978's London Calling we already had hints of a different direction (The Guns of Brixton, Rudy Can't Fail, Wrong 'Em Boyo) but there were still some of the overdriven guitars and anguished vocals to be found on the previous two albums.
But on Sandinista! it was hard to remember that this was the same band that put out Career Opportunities only three years previously. Perhaps this is what made the Clash stand out from the rest. With the exception of The Jam, most of their contemporaries failed to evolve. Or, to paraphrase from Spinal Tap, their musical growth rate cannot even be charted. Sandinista! is an album of such dizzying variety from on track to another that would be hard to pull off for a band with lesser musical talents than Messrs. Strummer, Jones, Simonon and Headon. The silence between the tracks leaves little room to contemplate what comes next. Funk? Soul? Punk? Reggae? Who knows, but strap in - it'll be good.
Back in 1987, furiously winding through the tape to find just one song that I could actually like I stumbled across the track I am sharing - Up in Heaven (Not Only Here). Strangely enough for an album with so much variety, this is one of the more 'normal' offerings. Perhaps that's why it stuck out for me after all these years. It has a place on my "Songs To Hear Before You Die" Deezer playlist.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to spend some time with Sandinista! to see if there's any other hidden gems to add.
