Genre: Soundtrack | Dunhill Records ~ DSX 50063
Easy Rider is the soundtrack to the cult classic 1969 film Easy Rider, a film often remembered for its epic late 1960′s rock music. The album was released by ABC-Dunhill Records in August 1969 (catalog no. DSX 50063), and was a strong success along with the film, peaking at #6 on the Billboard album charts in September of that year.
The songs on the soundtrack album are sequenced in the same order as they appear in the film, with the following differences:
“The Weight”, as originally recorded by The Band for their 1968 debut album Music From Big Pink, was used in the film but could not be licensed for the soundtrack. To deal with this, ABC-Dunhill commissioned Smith, who recorded for the label at the time, to record a cover version of the song for the soundtrack album.
Two songs used in the film, Little Eva’s “Let’s Turkey Trot” and The Electric Flag’s “Flash, Bam, Pow”, were omitted from the soundtrack album.
Distribution of the album transferred from the ABC-Dunhill label to Warner Bros. Records’ Reprise Records subsidiary (catalog no. MS 2026) in 1970, and Reprise published the album through much of the 1970′s. The album is currently published by the Universal Music Group, of which ABC-Dunhill is a legacy imprint.

Because they looked more like TV repairmen than weavers of Technicolor dreams, Ken Lewis and John Carter never received the acclaim they deserved. Dismissed as a cash-in team, mainly because of their summer of ’67 hit “Let’s Go To San Francisco’, their brand of cleverly-arranged close harmony pop was the nearest thing this country had to the Beach Boys or the Association. Highlights include the full-length version of San Fran and its follow-up, “A Walk In The Sky’, and the eight-minute “Children Of Tomorrow’, with its let’s-all-link-hands-and-save-the-world coda. Best of all, though, is “Blow Away’, a note-perfect Byrds pastiche. (Mojo)

Iggy And The Stooges – Raw Power (1973) (2012 Legacy Vinyl Reissue, 1997 Iggy remix) (24-Bit/96 Khz) (Vinyl Rip)
Vinyl rip @ 24/96 | FLAC | Scans | 723 MB | Label: Columbia
Genre: rock, proto-punk | RAR 5% | Rec. CAT #88691959351 | US pressing
In 1972, the Stooges were near the point of collapse when David Bowie’s management team, MainMan, took a chance on the band at Bowie’s behest. By this point, guitarist Ron Asheton and bassist Dave Alexander had been edged out of the picture, and James Williamson had signed on as Iggy’s new guitar mangler; Asheton rejoined the band shortly before recording commenced on Raw Power, but was forced to play second fiddle to Williamson as bassist. By most accounts, tensions were high during the recording of Raw Power, and the album sounds like the work of a band on its last legs — though rather than grinding to a halt, Iggy & the Stooges appeared ready to explode like an ammunition dump.

Genre: Soundtrack | MGM Records ~ S1E-13 ST X
Music plays a crucial part in 2001: A Space Odyssey, and not only because of the relatively sparse dialogue. From very early on in production, Kubrick decided that he wanted the film to be a primarily non-verbal experience, one that did not rely on the traditional techniques of narrative cinema, and in which music would play a vital role in evoking particular moods. About half the music in the film appears either before the first line of dialogue or after the final line. Almost no music is heard during any scenes with dialogue.

“Lightnin’ is among the rewarding acoustic dates Lightnin’ Hopkins delivered in the early ’60s. The session has an informal, relaxed quality, and this approach serves a 48-year-old Hopkins impressively well on both originals like ‘Thinkin’ ‘Bout an Old Friend’ and the familiar ‘Katie Mae’ and enjoyable interpretations of Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee’s ‘Back to New Orleans’ and Arthur ‘Big Boy’ Crudup’s ‘Mean Old Frisco.’ Hopkins‘ only accompaniment consists of bassist Leonard Gaskin and drummer Belton Evans, both of whom play in an understated fashion and do their part to make this intimate setting successful. From the remorseful ‘Come Back Baby’ to more lighthearted, fun numbers like ‘You Better Watch Yourself’ and ‘Automobile Blues,’ Lightnin’ is a lot like being in a small club withHopkins as he shares his experiences, insights and humor with you.” – All Music Guide

David Sylvian – Gone To Earth (1986) (Double LP) (24-Bit/96 Khz) (Vinyl Rip)
Vinyl rip @ 24/96 | FLAC | Scans | 1,58 GB | Label: Virgin Schallplatten GmbH
Genre: experimental rock, ambient | RAR 5% | Rec. CAT #302 803-420 | Germany
David Sylvian is a brilliant rock & roll guitarist and vocalist. He is also a great electronic minimalist. Sadly, he tries hard to do both together. Gone to Earth has moments of brilliant instrumental ambience with deep samples and misplaced vocals. The instrumental virtuosity grabs listeners immediately. Sylvian surrounds himself with some of the greats — Bill Nelson, Robert Fripp, and Mel Collins among them. The sound is dynamic and gentle at the same time.

Atlantic Bridge – Atlantic Bridge (1970) (24-Bit/96 Khz) (Vinyl Rip)
Vinyl rip @ 24/96 | FLAC | Artwork | 1054mb
Jazz-Rock, Progressive-Rock | 1970 UK LP | Dawn DNLS 3014
An early British fusion band, Atlantic Bridge put out a self-titled instrumental album in 1970. The skills of the players were impressive, and they didn’t compromise their jazz roots, with Jim Philip’s saxes and flute showing a decided John Coltrane influence. Chief arranger Mike McNaught’s electric keyboard provided the most rock-oriented flavour. Daryl Runswick also creates some interesting passages with bowed bass. Covers of “MacArthur Park” and the Beatles’ “Something” and “Dear Prudence” seemed emblematic of a desire to cross over to rock listeners, though it should be noted that it was far less common for a jazz-rock band to interpret such material in 1970 than it would be in the years to come.

Al Stewart – Zero She Flies (1970) (1974 UK Repress) (24-Bit/96 Khz) (Vinyl Rip)
Vinyl rip @ 24/96 | FLAC | Artwork | 807mb | Folk-Rock | 1974 UK repress | CBS 63848
Al Stewart’s third album wasn’t much different from the territory he had claimed, with reasonable success, on his prior effort, Love Chronicles. Narrative tales of romance and experience, sometimes third-person and sometimes autobiographical, set the mood, complemented by mild folk-rock arrangements and Stewart’s warm yet bemused voice. A few placid folk guitar instrumentals break up the involved, lengthy vocal tracks. The best cut is “Electric Los Angeles Sunset,” which puts Stewart’s eye for locale-based storytelling to more forceful use than it had ever been previously heard, detailing the grim side of the city rather than its glamorous one. “Manuscript” was also an important work in its focus upon past history and its effects on various characters, an approach that would within a few years become prevalent in Stewart’s work. Trevor Lucas and Gerry Conway of Fotheringay were among the backup players. Richie Unterberger, Allmusic.
