I saw Soraia several years ago in a ridiculously small club and they rocked.  Here is their new song, "So Holy".




Going back in time to when I started listening to music online. These were the type of tracks being suggested by YT, as my algorithm was fresh.

The latin percussion instruments included in this recent funky track (i.e, the syncopated triangle and cuica) are heavenly. Sends me into outer space so it does:
John Carroll Kirby - Rainmaker

I remember when this track had only a couple of thousand views a few years ago. Great funky energy:
BINKBEATS - Little Nerves feat. Niels Broos


"An underrated muso" but don't quote me on it..

^ Nice tracks, Saulaac. I liked Rainmaker when the keyboard player shrugged off his jacket to get down to business !

^ That's a great rocker, Buckeye. For a minute, I thought the band shared the name of a popular Walmart-style supermarket chain

Actually, I got distracted because I came here to enthuse about the 3 opening tracks from Winds Of Change. At last,on YouTube, I found the 3 of them posted together, which imo is the way they should be heard: as a group, the 3 songs form one of the best intros into a psyche rock album that I know:-




What you desire is of lesser value than what you have found.

Winds Of Change was included in an album collection I bought around 1978 or so, great late night stuff.  Also included was Images by David Bowie on Deram plus albums by Jim and Ingrid Croce, Sonny and Cher and Donovan.  I was trippin' man!

Have you ever heard Sun Secrets by The Eric Burdon Band?  It always reminded me (though to a lesser degree) of Lou Reed covering VU material on RnR Animal.  Songs of pain, addiction and suffering given a dose of Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah and sounding like Green Grass and High Tide.  The biggest similarity between the albums is the loose and free (kick ass!) guitar playing reinventing the songs.
