"Gal's legendary 1st live record, a double LP. The amateurish recording gives it an intimate feel _ in the acoustic numbers that open it, seems that she's singing in our living room. The songs with the whole band show us Gal at her most emotional and less technical. An important document of a hars..." [+] Reply
"Every now and then, an album’s name is absolutely perfect to describe the album itself, and in the case of Autre Ne Veut’s “Anxiety", you have an album that feels anxious, that feels crazy.

"Good to hear Suede still on form after all these years" Reply
"One of the greatest improvisational jams ever recorded. Just 3 songs, pretty basic rhythms and harmonies that let Eric Dolphy do some of his better moves. The solos are crazy and the comping by Mal Waldron is something to behold. Ed Blackweel is as solid as ever." Reply

"Probably my favorite spanish language album. I heard they were the "spanish radiohead" at the time and that title is somewhat justified in how they explore outside of typical (spanish) rock boundaries." Reply
