It's instrumental, so 10 years ago I would have lumped it under my "new instrumentalism" moniker, which they would very much fit under. Thanks Dusty. I like the tune, reminds me of a lot of 80s jazz that I would listen to (yellowjackes, spyro gyra, etc.). Overall the balance for the amplified to the acoustic instruments was off to me. I could see the strings grinding away but could only hear a whisper of them. Edited August 15, 20214 yr by mikeymad
August 15, 20214 yr Tune? I thought I posted the whole playlist. Alas. I definitely agree that the Lydian Collective were front and center, and Capital Orchestra is more of an accompaniment, but I believe that was the intention. If you liked the music, their first album (rather, their whole catalog -- the first album plus a couple singles) is more of the same: https://lydiancollective.bandcamp.com/album/adventure Me, have moved on to fox capture plan. Just discovered them, will probably listen to their entire catalog what's available on streaming (Spotify/Tidal/YouTube)

Legend of Lumbar starts reminiscing a lot of "My favourite things", which is somewhat enhanced by the chord progression. Interesting group, thanks Dusty.

August 20, 20214 yr Lorde - Solar Power I was pretty disappointed. I'm not surprised to see there is a growing backlash to Jack Antonoff-produced records. Perfectly nice person, but I really don't like his sound. Jack Antonoff, Polarizing Nice Guy | Pitchfork
August 22, 20214 yr Was listening to an old episode of Score the Podcast with (This is Us score composer) Siddhartha Khosla, and his band, Goldspot, was mentioned. Apparently, they write very little in 4/4 time -- mostly in 7, 5, 13, &c. So I immediately started bingeing all 3 albums. Pretty great -- it's not really prog, as they do the odd time signatures effortlessly, and the end result is very accessible.
August 24, 20214 yr "Missing You" is still a classic track from John. Straight Gonz Jerry Bergonzi, The Modern Jazz Trio 2021 Example:
August 24, 20214 yr I've been bingeing on some j-fusion. Casiopea 3rd is the current incarnation of long-time favourite Casiopea, whom I've always loved, I just don't listen to enough of them. This is pure joy:
