Is anyone familiar with Tower or Power? They are playing in S.F. while I am out there this coming weekend. I have heard a few of their tunes and like their brand of amped up funk.
Mother Earth had a limited catalogue.
Stoned Woman - 1992 is very 70s funky
The People Tree - 1993 - the breakthrough album
You Have Been Watching - 1995 - nearest they came to rock - even has a Small Faces cover - my favourite album. Available with SW as a twofer.
The Desired Effect - Live album from 1996
All on Acid Jazz records
You are The healer - Matt Deighton\'s solo disc - very folky (Done 3 or 4 others)
If you can find it, there\'s a ME budget compilation CD called Riot on 103rd Street which has a good cross-section, including the 1993 Mr Freedom EP and some singles. It\'s a Music Club release from Music Collection International ltd MCCD 367
The "proper" albums are all available at Amazon - have a listen to the samples. BTW the above are the only albums - amazon lists 77 results for ME, but these are the only ones you want!!
I am listening to Mother Earth samples right now. I could probably go for some of this stuff.
def catch Tower of Power if you can. You will be impressed!!

"I can take about an hour on the tower of power, as long as I gets a little golden shower. Oh god, oh god, I\'m so fantastic, and thanks to freddie, I\'m a sexual spastic! and my name is bobby brown, so watch me now, I\'m going down..."

Stoned Woman is an awesome album. I was listening to it this evening. Good vocals, funky organ driven songs and some interested background talk/messages by a British dude. Still haven\'t listened to You Have Been Watching.
Steely Dan? Their "Reelin\' In the Years" should be in everyone\'s collection! Have a greatest hits which is a good taster. Some nice guitar work throughout, though the band line-up changes very often - Becker & Fagen are always there, but they use many different musicians.
BTW, glad you like the Mother Earth - am currently listening to the original band of that name with Tracy Nelson on vocals.
Hey , I listen to umphrey\'s . Don\'t get me wrong The breakfast is still number one in my eyes, But let me tell you the wide variety of covers they play and the way they work them into everything is great. If you are wondering more about them check out there fans site
http://www.umphreaks.comI highly suggest checking them out. They have a big following
Are any of the Robert Walter solo albums good?
Just got a couple of Tribal Tech shows. Hard to find, and sound quality seems to be questionable. So I would suggest buying an official release.
If you like fusion, SER SER SER!
I would like to find some or if anybody knows of any live Syd Berret(solo)....
uze guyz liSTON to PooP....
Love,
Fripp and Eno
