Badass, just completely badass.
And what stereo separation!
I am the fire in your lungs I am the fire in your dead lungs I am the fire in the airwaves
A & R man's dream!
This is with The Fall, by the way (Mark E. Smith at the end.)
"You'd Prefer an Astronaut" is one of my all-time favorite albums of all-time. It's such a perfect mix of melancholy, hope, discord, and melody.
They played some reunion shows a year or two ago. I was sad to not discover this until much too late. edit: They're playing two shows very soon! Which is awesome if you're in Austin or Chicago...
>It consists of field recordings made the previous year by Mark Seidenfeld during a funeral procession of the Ewe people in central Ghana, and is a hugely exciting helping of riveting, passionate drum work. There are seven primary drummers accompanied by many villagers on small percussion and occasional vocalizing. While five of the drummers maintain traditional (and usually quite complex) rhythms, the two manning the largest drum are free to improvise, one on the skin, one on its wooden sides.

They also have a Complete Discography release that I think covers everything.
Another good track is Guatemala.
To be honest I'm not an authority enough to comment much on this band, I know them outside of any historical context.
Mirrors were, like their contemporaries the Electric Eels, a cool underground proto-punk band from Cleveland. Seems like it was a fascinating scene that probably doesn't get enough attention.
Chase was a jazz-rock group that was one of the best around in the early '70s, but sadly the band's leader Bill Chase and several other members were killed in a plane crash in 1974.
> Some of the music generated by the more imaginative current groups is so inbred that it both defies and repulses imitation. It's not that others don't want to pick it up and improvise it. They, the others, are too busy inventing their own sounds and just don't have time to pay tribute to their contemporaries by echoing their music. And this is a healthy sign.
> A new group named "Ford Theater" has come forth with an excellent excursion into sound with "Trilogy for the Masses". The music ranges from hard rock (they call it dramatic rock) to folk themes. (...) "Trilogy for the Masses" was recorded live in one session and was not re-recorded for effect.
Have you heard Joe Hawley's side project, Musical Miracle? It features most of the members of the band. It's actually one of my favourite albums of all time; if you haven't heard it, I'd strongly encourage you to buy it here, as there's nothing I'd like more than for Joe to make a follow-up. The album truly is incredible, and I honestly can't recommend it enough.
Both MMMM and Good & Evil were defining albums of my high school years as well, and the band will always have a special place in my heart. Out of curiosity, how/when did you find out about them?
I can't believe the Axe man has never been posted on here! Even if you have never listened to this album, you have undoubtedly heard his music sampled by various hip-hop cats.
Just found these Jazzcat mixes of Ubiquity material by chance, featuring very relaxed Jazz/Funk/Electronic. Do you maybe have any specific recommendations to follow up from there?

For anybody that vaguely recognizes the cover art.
The image on the cover is probably a Photogram that used a semi-transparent cutout of the work from a textbook or art book, placed some semi-transparent blue lace on top of the cutout along with the lettering, and then exposed the photo paper with (what I assume would be) about 30 seconds of direct light exposure. It's really cool and I'm high as balls so I may not know what I'm fully talking about.
Great music though.
