The latest addition to the archive, a throwback to my days working in a library. It might not have put much of a dent in my overflow stacks, but it will certainly reduce hunching over to organize piles normally balanced against my leg. may not realize it, but they’re one of the few book truck manufacturers with the right dimensions to store records.

NP: Brainchild - Healing of the Lunatic Owl (England, 1970)

While this album cannot escape the obvious reference to early Chicago’s innovative brass rock, Brainchild drew more from the contemporary proto-prog zeitgeist to add another dimension. Complex horn charts are melded with heavy organ and psychedelic tinged guitar, but it’s the melodic sensibility woven into the dynamic compositions that really makes this memorable. An album that could have only been made in 1970.

All my energy is usually concentrated making sure records are clean. Spending some more time giving some tlc to the other vinyl essentials this week. Successful platter polishing soon to be followed by k***s. Swipe for before/after @ Jackson Heights, Queens

Shook off some Corona-induced inertia and dove into a long term project: emptying the shelves to fine-tune the leveling on the shelves and throw an additional board underneath everything for added support. Will be sore tomorrow... 🏋️

NP: Musica Urbana - Musica Urbana (Spain, 1976)

Dynamic jazz-rock with a touch of avant improv thrown in, Musica Urbana is as rich with rhythmic dexterity as it is with melodic fluidity, with an Iberian flare to boot. A slight Canterbury comparison could be in order, but only to the more studious end of things like Gilgamesh.
