🎵 It’s a KFJC Music Review! 🎵 Mountain Ocean Sun – “Peace Conference” – [Home Normal] Reviewed by @_whngr_ Drone with minimalist accoutrement. Understated, meditative vehicle with allusion to aural healing. Ambience for introspection. Sublimity slithers through this single sixty-four minute piece executed thoughtfully by an international quaternity. A measure of Buddhist teachings appear to inform this project with their first performance taking place at a five-hundred year old temple in Osaka. Perhaps an excellent accompaniment for ritual nature worship, drain your dour perspective in drone. Jean Cook – Violin, Viola, Shruti box – Collabs with Jon Langford, William Parker, and Assif Tsahar Hitoko Sakai – Harmonium, Shruti box –  MSBR, Japanese Noise scene writer Daniel Littleton – Harmonium, Bells, Kubing – IDA, Tara Jane Oneil collaborator Warren Defever – Bells, Percussion, Gong – UFO FACTORY, His Name is Alive (4AD)

The Sons of Champlin's Long Road to Obscurity Monday February 22 7AM-10AM Hosted by Art Crimes KFJC rebroadcasts a special that originally aired on Mayhem 13, 2014. The Sons of Champlin began as a Marin-based band in 1967 that would later split and reform a number of times, seemingly calling it quits in 1977. Over the course of many years, the Sons employed some interesting business strategies, among them being (1) change your name so many times that nobody will be sure who you are, (2) hire a baseball team owner as your manager, and (3) getting high is a reasonable solution to any problem. But the Sons would be successful on their own terms, if not anyone else?s? they were the first San Francisco area band to feature a horn section as part of their sound -- not to mention a vibraphone and the ripping, jazz-infused playing of guitarist Terry Haggerty -- and they were far more influenced by R&B and jazz than by the electrified blues and folk music that served as the core of so many other SF bands? set lists. A new version of the Sons with several original members in the lineup has been back doing gigs since 1997, but we?ll focus on key tracks from the Sons? early LPs, live music from their appearances on the SF ballroom scene, and other audio evidence that shows how the Sons were truly a distinctive group, starting out in an era when psychedelic bands were a dime a dozen.

🎵 It’s a KFJC Music Review! 🎵 Fuller, Wesley – "Seven By Seven" – [Neuma] Reviewed by Ann Arbor Wesley Fuller died at the age of 89 as this, his first full length release was about to be pressed. He was a pioneer in the field of electroacoustic music. His music combines acoustic instruments (piano, violin, viola, flute and percussion) and fixed media (formerly known as tape). It illustrates the development of electroacoustic music over the decades – from 1970s-era analog synthesizers housed in institutions to living room digital studios. He described his approach here by saying “…the computer is being used as a composer, and it is, if you will, a kind of collaboration between composers.”
