The Frantic Five "On The Move" 2007 + "Play ...The Quinta" 1998 - 7"45rpm + "Play The Fugitive!" 1996 - 7"45rpm + "Play Zoe's Stomp" 1996 - 7"45rpm + "Why Did You Lie?" 1999 - 7"45rpm

It is really worth-mentioning the fact that Greece's "Farfisa Kings" THE FRANTIC FIVE from Thessaloniki, keep going with a new album (their second studio one) after 13 years of their presence in the garagedom!!!…...They are, probably along with the fabulous Thanes from Scotland, one of the very few bands of the genre that keep the faith! "On The Move" is the follow-up album after last year's live CD "A Go-Go At A Cave Near You" on INKA Records! Great compositions, well-structured instrumentation and awesome production in combination with a "lost-in-tyme" artwork make this effort by far their best! Their now-sound can be described as "retro neo-garage", based on the legacy of the best groups of the 60's punk Era and the most important revivalists of the 80's and 90's, since the majority of the groups of the genre today sound with an obvious distorted orientation. Thus, it is not only their Farfisa dominated sound that rules inhere but overall, an appreciation attitude towards the originators. "The Brood" is the album's opening track, a great instrumental tune with references to the B-movies atmosphere of the mid-60's! Way-cool fuzz-punkers will follow such as "Why She'd Ever Leave", "I Live In Hell", "You Made Me Cry" and the self-titled "On The Move". A New England mood you can feel by listening to "How Can We Go On" whilst "Treat Me Kind" is truly a melodic number and "So Sad" reflects the band's folk punk influences. "Away From Your Lies" brings to mind the Wilson Pickett's classic "In The Midnight Hour" and "I Can't Wait Till Friday Comes" recalls The Pretty Things and The Tell-Tale Hearts! "I Got A Girl" is the swinging moment of the album which closes with an excellent cover of Kit & The Outlaws' "Don't Tread On Me". Listen to THE FRANTIC FIVE's brand-new stunning album and you will surely wait to their next step!!!The Frantic Five:
Bass, Vocals – Rayman / Drums, Vocals – Alex / Guitar, Vocals, Harmonica – Captain K / Organ, Vocals – Dr Organ

ELECTRAFIXION - Burned
Sire Records (1995)

http://www6.zippyshare.com/v/16b8xy8Y/file.html

Electrafixion were an alternative rock band, formed by former Echo & the Bunnymen members Ian McCulloch and Will Sergeant in 1994, joined by bass guitarist Leon de Sylva and drummer Tony McGuigan. They released one album, Burned, and four singles and EPs before splitting up in 1996, due to the reformation of the Bunnymen. -- Wikipedia

When something promises a lot, given the participants, the expectations understandably ratchet up as well. So that's why Electrafixion's sole album comes across as an experiment in frustration more than once. The prospect of Ian McCulloch and Will Sergeant working together for the first time in around seven years revived the hopes of the Echo & the Bunnymen fan base that the pleasant but not often striking solo and side projects in the interim would be left behind for something more distinct. That Electrafixion was, but Burned still disappointed as much as it pleased. A lot of it had to do with McCulloch's wholehearted embrace of Nirvana and grung... -- Ned Raggett (Allmusic)

I'm so happy that I'm not a music critic because if I were I don't know how I could enjoy any music at all. Ragett pans an album that I find thoroughly enjoyable and at time exhilarating. There is no mistaking that this is a Bunnymen album, maybe harder edged, but McCulloch's writing and Sergeant's playing are unmistakable, and I've been a Bunnymen fan since the early New Wave days of "Crocodiles".
No, I'm not disappointed by this record at all. A distinctive style with some psychedelia thrown in. I hope you enjoy it. -- JohnnyDiego

Two or three days ago Monty posted an album of the Fortunate Sons called 'Cyril says Hi!'. I was kind of surprised because this album isn't mentioned on Discogs.
https://www.discogs.com/artist/2050587-Fortunate-Sons

What Monty had shared is an album which should have been the third (until now 'lost') album of this UK-Group and a lot of Live-material. So thank you again.

What I could do now is sharing the two original LP's the band had made: 'Rising, 1986' and 'Karezza, 1987'. Both records are hard to find as anything else about this band which was published on the Bam-Carouso-Label.

Entering "Fortunate Sons" to google you will see thousands of hints to the famous Creedence Clearwater Song, the rest is related to a CCR Cover Band that called themselves "Fortunate Sons". You won't find the real stuff so easily. There isn't at least an Wiki-article about this group.

What Monty and I present is a British Rock band of the mid-80's that has nothing to do with CCR aside from the unlucky name which made the group inexisting for search-engines. The music of the Fortunate Sons won't remind you to CCR at all. Au contraire, they had done a cover version of Steppenwolfs 'The Pusher' (and no CCR-song). That means, what you get is solid rock, music that could have been published way back in the 60's or last year.

Here is 'Karezza, 1987':

and here is 'Rising, 1986':

Hi Monty + RYP and all you other girls and guys,

here are the other two albums of the Surfin’ Barmaids, it has to go fast for me cause I’m on the way to 23. New Orleans Jazzfestival in Magdeburg, Germany in the nice Herrenkrug Park, entrance free, with New Orleans Shufflers, Schnapka Connection, Terrence Ngassa, Dede Priest & Band, Peter Mante's Gospel Project, Soneros de Verdad. I only know the first two of them, cause they were every year at the festival. But that’s no problem, it’s always a fantastic atmosphere and great music.
If you are interrested, here is the program in german language:
https://www.herrenkrug.de/assets/downloads/Programm-Jazzfestival-2017.pdf

The Surfin' Barmaids - Mexican Road 10'' (Green Cookie Records 2015) @128 + Out Of Control (The Unfair Records 2008) @128

http://www.mediafire.com/?wlbx49tbgm8rt0y

I take this from bandcamp and it’s only @128, but better than nothing.
Maybe someone has a better bitrate later.

I nice weekend for you all

Thanks Monty for your comps.It's a little strange your shares but ever i find some gems like "Play Gaelic" from Runrig. I spend some time listening some records that i don't preserve bur for me is like all the time spent passing the vinyls through my fingers for hours and hours. I enjoyed that and missed it a bit
Thanks again

JohnnyD, anything Bunnymen-related is always appreciated. I'll be seeing them in August (first time in thirty years!)

RYP, I had the suspicion that the Fortunate Sons could have been shared in the zone when I found out that there had been a personal connection to The Barracudas, who made Surf Music. (To my opinion the "Sons" didn't make Surf Music, so I wasn't sure). On the other side: new chance, new luck for discovering.

And now to something totally different:
Here is Mr. Cool himself, Albert Collins and 'Frostbite, 1980':

RYP said...

Gaius,
the Barracudas first single "I want my woody back" and their first LP "Drop out with the Barracudas" were surf music, then with "Mean Time" and 9 or 10 other albums they changed to the garage / power pop etc...

You're a lucky man, getting to see the Bunnymen. I saw them about 2001 and they played every song I loved.

Hello JohnnyDiego,

Many many thanks for Electrafixion. Although I'm also a big fan of Echo & The Bunnymen since their early days, Electrafixion never crossed my way. I was very astonished about that fact and now after listening to them I'm very impressed by the greatness of their album. I enjoyed it very much and I can confirm everything you wrote about it. Ned Raggett must have heard a different one.
Another thanks for pointing me on this one.

!!Hard-Drive Overload!!

Fellow TZers, I'm clearing out most of the music on my hard drive - there's just 'way too much of it, and too little lifetime to enjoy and appreciate it in. So I'm hoping some of the crew here will give it a happy home.

I picked the music up all over the 'net, these past fifteen years; and, no I did not keep track of the donor sites. So the bit rate will vary, and most of the rips aren't mine, but the links will be.

I'm starting with Jazz, 1920s-1980s or so, some of which may be too tame, too ho-hum, for TZ, but I'll have it out there for a week before deleting. Just in Jazz, I have over 270 artists, some 10,700 tracks...

So: Load One:

Al Cooper and His Savoy Sultans (1941) @128
Bennie Moten (1923-32) @320 (except one)
Bennie Goodman (1928-46):
- Original Recordings, 1935-39 @320
- Ken Burns Jazz @320
- Original Performances @128
- Portrait @320
- Verve Jazz Masters @128
Billie Holliday (1935-56):
- The Complete Decca Recordings, 1944-50, @320
- The Ultimate Collection @320 (except one)
- (assorted recordings) @128 (except one)
