Favoriting Explorers Room with Flash Strap: Playlist from February 6, 2025 Favoriting

Flash Strap's avatar View Flash Strap's profile Favoriting

This is where all of culture and all of time are collapsed into one seductive portal and viewed through the panoramic lens of the exotic. Come and embark on an armchair-travel virtual-voyage to the heart of timeless darkness and beyond; embrace the numinous monolith of the exotic immensity. Let us find that place where hybridization meets its destiny as pure fantasy. Let us become observers observing those others who are ourselves. You wear your mask and I'll wear mine.

In spite of my best OCD efforts, I'm no longer able to keep my favorited, clicky-starred tunes continually illuminated in pure, sweet gold.

Some - but not all - fade back to the dull and empty type, which messes with my OCD mind. Anyone else suffering from this vexing, super-trivial, issue?

...the change seems to correspond, timing-wise, with the most recent regime change.

Cedric Lawson on the Fender Rhodes is so crucial here. and Reggie Lucas is as amazing as ever - his contributions on guitar are often overshadowed by the showier leads he plays with in Miles' groups - MClaughlin, Cosey, Gaumont, even Sharrock. but through it all the man is always a funk machine, a guitar god
