The Unknown Greats

These two just not getting the attention they deserve. Known but unknown.


Mazzy star on a Green on Red song.

Raveonettes-Dead sound

Today I saw the film "Radio on", from 1980. A wonderful film in the vein of Wenders (actually he produces the film and the film itself has many references to the "Alice in the cities" Wenders film). Fantastic photography, and wonderful soundtrack.
This is famous but I was reminded of it when he plyed it in the jukebox (a wink to Wenders' scene with the jukebox but Wenders had Canned heat's "On the roaad again" )
So Wreckless Eric - Whole wide world

And a more recent live!


A must see film, with a guest appearence by a young, guitar playing-just for the movie,  musician by the name Gordon Sumner, performing an Eddie Cohran song - "Three steps to heaven"

Idon'tknow if anybody follows this anymore,seemsI only get to suggest thing,but it doesn'tmatter! 
Here is a track from one of my all time favourite instrumental albums ANGLES by the band  ARCA. It is a French band, (some say post rock,I prefer the sound scape description) that Sylvain Chauveau leads.
This is one of the tracks.

Great psychedelic rock song, by the Common People,  re-released 3-4 years ago and available again! Great sound!

And here is the full album of one of the greatest Psychedelic albums of all times by Gandalf (as Hobit is released today, I kind of remember them)

not sure who that guitar player is that manu chao has in his band, but he so spices up the music, the man is great!!
whatch in the beginning, and then there'S the outro brilliant guy. always used t obe a huge Mano negra fan, back in the late eighties early nineties, but far prefer Manu chao solo.
 

[Pottel]

and here a far better quality show
 

[Pottel]

could his name be "Madjid Fahem"??
the man is a genius player...
boy oh boy, around the 3 min mark...

[Pottel]

love it, did i mention that?
secnd part of the vid...sweet...

I like Manu Chao a lot. His 2-3 solo albums were more like the theme of Athens life when they were released.  Mano Negra had a solid following but nothing as big!
Very Versatile guitarist, indeed. Almost bouzouki sounding, and some eastern scales thrown in for good measure!

Here is another great unknown, kevin  Coyne. On the second track, a certain Andy Summers is on guitar.

[Pottel]

kevin cyne is not really unknown now is he?

[vgonis]

Maybe not to you or me,    and speaking in general, but his best albums were hard to find and even his re-releases are not easy to trace or best sellers. So probably he is less known than some of the people I have already mentioned here!

Hi friends,

unfortunately alot of the videos aren`t "available in my country"  .

Last autumn I saw Luka Bloom in Kiel. It was a great show. A quite small venue, an audience of 250 people maybe. But it was fantastic. This video wasn`t recorded in Kiel, but the song is one of my favourites:



Hope you like it....Mona
