From out of a rotted tomb crawls the full score for the “film” Dracula (The Dirty Old Man)! Uncovered by archivist George Gimarc, these tapes, untouched for nearly 50 years and mislabelled "Sex Monsters," are finally dusted off, and you’ve never heard the music sound this good–the sound that made it into the film is an utter stake through the heart. Rumor has it that the audio from the original cut was so bad that they went back and redubbed everything (à la Woody Allen’s What’s Up, Tiger Lily?) to comedic effect. Who knew that buried under all that jabberwocky was a funk leaning jazz soundtrack that really grooves? This album comprises the highlights of the film score accompanied by audio cues believed to be Whit Boyd instructing the musicians in what was likely a live performance while watching the film.

Man that’s hot as a pistol Psy that Dracula soundtrack - great great jams - listened to the 5th & 6th one, about 20 min worth, a little surf, a little jazz, heard a little of Berry’s Jam In it - Great Players
it’s my favorite thread & should be everybody’s - the blues from Mali, the H Run Chicken one, the one DanB posted about the birds - cool chit here alright
straight up, I don’t know how to embed/transfer the stuff on here or I’d contribute too - it’s more than well covered😎still have to get to others, esp the Brubeck one
Am listening to Street Parade by the Steve Gibbons Band - one of their best - he’s real underrated

Yeah. That Dracula soundtrack really grooves. I checked out the film trailer for the movie on YouTube and it looks like one of the most ridiculously low-budget "so bad it's good" type horror flicks imaginable.

I tried psychedelics many decades ago, maybe a dozen times. (early 70's). I very recently stumbled across some mushroom base stuff. I decided that a later in life spiritual experience was maybe a good idea At the peak time of things, I headphone played Mountain Jam off EAP. Amazingly, I was able to manage tonearm skills. The 2 album side challenge was well worth it. I won't even try to find words to describe the experience, but it was indeed spiritual. Duane and company took me to church.

^ Looks like I've got a couple of Dave Brubeck albums to catch up on.
And as long as I'm here...
I love the percussion with the flamenco guitar playing on this video.

This might be my favorite album by Tortoise. It still sounds every bit as good to me as it did the first time I heard it back in 1998.
Tortoise's third full-length release, TNT, was written and recorded during a 10-month interval in 1997. This longer-than-usual writing/production schedule was purposefully undertaken by the group in the hopes of crafting an expansive, diverse, yet thematically coherent offering. Clocking in at 65 minutes, TNT builds upon the spare, instrumental framework of the group's first, self-titled album, and the extended edits, melodic adventures, and klangfarben of the subsequent full-length release, Millions Now Living Will Never Die. Further to this, Tortoise's interest in the possibilities offered by the remixing of tracks was realized within the actual production of TNT; individual elements, sections, or sometimes whole compositions mutate within the album's shifting framework. These techniques were suitably realized thanks in part to the use of non-linear digital recording and editing methods, the first example of such work for the group. In addition, many of the arrangements push the group's standard instrumentation into new territories with the inclusion of strings, woodwinds, and brass. The permanent addition of guitarist Jeff Parker (New Horizons ensemble, Chicago Underground Orchestra, Isotope 217) to the group's lineup should be noted; his unique contributions can be felt throughout the album.
Tortoise's long-standing interest in electronic and computer music is revealed during the unbroken suite of tracks beginning with "In Sarah, Mencken, Christ, and Beethoven There Were Women And Men," and ending with "Jetty." Yet TNT remains very much a record produced by a group of musicians who enjoy presenting their material in a live context. To this end, the axis of drums-basses-guitars-keyb oards-mallets-percussion continues to provide both the backdrop and the inspiration for points of departure in style and sound.
