Hello music lovers! 🎵🎧 🎵
I must say up front that this is my first #threetunetuesday post. I'm a regular follower/member of the Music Community here at Hive but only recently I've become aware of this hashtag.
I have to thank @ablaze for starting this initiative. I've gotten to know quite a few good artists and tunes that I hadn't heard before.
So yes, of course, I will try to post something from time to time. Otherwise, I'm doing a regular weekly #newtunes post where every Friday present eight new releases of different musical styles by well-known and lesser-known musicians who are just making their way to the pedestal.
It wasn't meant to be an introductory post, well maybe for the first time, I can say that I decided to title the post - Oldschool, in the sense that I'm introducing three tracks that have influenced me, each one of them in terms of my relationship to music, namely, these tracks were on the first albums I got or bought when I got a gramophone as a gift.
And I wouldn't talk about the gramophone now, it was nothing special, but it opened the door to a whole new space for me, a world of melodies and sounds that, thank God, I'm still enjoying today, forty years and more later.
Let's go!
King Crimson - Discipline
A completely guitar-driven composition written by Robert Fripp, guitarist of King Crimson, a virtuoso on the guitar.
It was released on the eighth album of the same name in 1981. It sounds like a kind of guitar loop that never ends, and as far as I've read about it, guitarists say it's one of the hardest songs to play. Yes, it takes discipline and years of learning. I put it here to make that point.
Pink Floyd - Lucifer Sam
I can't go past Pink Floyd, one of my favorite bands from my youth (and I'm not afraid to listen to them now). This track is from their first album "The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn" from 1967.
At that time Dave Gilmour wasn't in the band yet, Syd Barret, the guitarist was still normal enough to compose, sing and play guitar. Fascinating music for 1967, if you compare it to other bands playing rock'n'roll on three chords...
I first heard this song on the double album "Nice Pair", which is basically the first album I mentioned above and the second album "A Saucerful Of Secrets" together, and that was one of the first albums I bought, as a teenager, with my pocket money savings :)
Yes - Wonderous Stories
I'm not a big fan of the band, but I got this album as a birthday present. I don't know if it was for 17 or 18, something like that. This song is from Yes' eighth album "Going For The One" from 1977, and it sticks in my mind as one of the more romantic-nostalgic ballads, with Rick Wakeman's sweeping organ harmonies and the remarkable vocal range of Jon Anderson, the lead singer at the time.
That would be a start. I'll write more when I get a chance.
Well, I thought when I was preparing this post that I would put three songs of different genres, but in fact, all three bands belong to the genre of progressive rock, the last cry of the so-called supergroups, which were then overtaken and plundered by punk when it appeared.
I'll mention that too :)
Btw1, in the last four years (I've just started counting) I've published 112 #newtunes posts so far because listening to music is an integral part of my lifestyle.
