Because I can't believe nobody has uploaded it yet. From "Enigmatic Ocean" in 1977.
Definitely one of my all-time favorites.
Steve Smith on drums, you crazy jazz-heads.
From the album Harakka Bialoipokku, localized as B The Magpie.
Sampled by DJ Shadow in "Midnight In A Perfect World".
I'm afraid I don't speak Finnish, but I extend a thank-you to my Finnish viewers for the positive comments. Harakka Bialoipokku is one of my favorite albums, as well.
More wonderful Euro fusion. From Placebo's 1971 release, "Ball Of Eyes".
Sampled by J Dilla for "Love Jones".
I'm sure I'll upload some material that hasn't been sampled soon enough.
More Ponty. Another one of my all-time favorite songs. When Ponty's solo comes it at around 3:25 I just melt.
There was a wonderful live version of this on youtube, but I can't seem to find it now.
More of an experience hearing it on vinyl since he quotes the "New Country" melody in the beginning of the song.
Sampled by Massive Attack for "Black Milk". Then Manfred Mann sued them! Ha. They could have afforded to clear it :/
Great song, in any case. Apologies for the low fidelity, I'm hoping you won't be able to notice on youtube.
