Music is beautiful, and her voice as well. But I always have a hard time to listen to music in a language I don't understand. What doesn't help is that they are mowing my lawn at the moment.

most of the music i listen to is in a language i dont understand

so i listen to music as music, not words

there was a study about this

The thing is, I don't really listen to the words as if I want to understand what the song is about. But I do prefer it to be in a language that I understand. Sigur Ros is a good example, found it really annoying to listen to until I saw them live.
Perhaps that's why I like post-rock, there are no words.

That's debatable.

That's not to say Coltrane doesn't have some alright stuff but give me Alice Coltrane any day.

Amen. Also, Rat Salad is prescient given our current zoonotic disease situation. Check out vids of those Chinese “wet markets”, some very problematic practices there leading directly to our current situation. Literally: bat soup

Love her first four albums. There are others from mid-70s I’ve heard which I do not love, haven’t heard them all though. The recent compilation drawn from her ashram/spiritual/new-age cassettes was interesting, better than I feared it might have been. Here is a link to a DubLab mix of her ashram tapes: https://www.dublab.com/archive/rbma-...ane-by-frosty/

Give John more chances when you are ready, he will give back to you. Pharoah Sanders too...

I've been in the same mode after watching a Chasin' The 'Trane on Netflix. It wasn't the best documentary, but there was some home movies that almost made me weep. It wasn't the serious, searching Coltrane you see in all the album covers. It was a guy goofing off in his robe with his children and dog, smiling. His warmth and spirit really radiated from that footage and I've been listening to his playing differently ever since.

You may have gotten to them already, but check out the albums they both played on together. Alice plays piano on Live at the Village Vanguard Again! and Expression, amongst many others. Her playing may have pushed him further 'out', but that warm aura from her albums is also on those 2.

It was because of that documentary I decided to go on a splurge. I've had Love Supreme for a while and never got on with it. I decided to get Blue Train and Giant Steps (the last one for the song Naima alone) and eh.

My issue is his insistence on overplaying. I'd rather hear four notes than the 20 in 10 seconds he does. He does it on Miles Davis' Kind Of Blue album too and it does me tree in.

Bob Dylan released a new song, 17 minutes long. Couldn't really grab me, but then the YT autoplay switched over to Joan Baez. Beautiful, check out this concert from Netherlands in 1967 for instance

Yuri Landman, quite Youth-ian but really good. Special version comes with a Landman-designed instrument integrated into the album cover

Haha, that'll be a fun isolation project.

I am listening to Weezer's white album, which is apparently their last good one according to some of my friends. They're not my friends anymore.
