Introducing…The History Of Rock, 1969
The latest issue of our archival magazine. This month, it’s 1969… Advertisement A word much in use this year is “heavy”. It might apply to the weight of your take on the blues, as with Fleetwood Mac or Led Zeppelin. It might mean the originality of Jethro Tull or King Crimson. It might equally apply to an individual – to Eric Clapton, for example the Beatles are the saints of the 1960s, and George Harrison an especially “heavy person”. This year heavy people flock together. Clapton and Steve Winwood join up in Blind Faith. Steve Marriott and Pete Frampton...

Lonnie Liston Smith And The Cosmic Echoes Expansion
On 1975’s Expansions, American jazz musician and composer Lonnie Liston Smith took the big leap. It’s an album that’s rightly feted as key to a very open, dynamic form of jazz-funk fusion, one that’s less about tricksy musicianship, more about texture, space and groove. Of course, the various players that joined Smith – the members of his band, the Cosmic Echoes – were excellent musicians in their own right, but the joy of Expansions is its subordination of ego, the way the players are all in service to the rhizomatic flow of the seven songs here, whether vamping on...

This, in 2015, is the induction ceremony of the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, which has posthumously accepted Lou as a member. Advertisement Patti Smith has just presented the award to Laurie Anderson, and now Laurie begins a gracious 13 minute speech which seems to guess what we’re thinking and tells us that actually we’re wrong: Lou would have loved all this. Maybe that’s hard to square, knowing what...
Stereolab Instant Holograms On Metal Film
It begins with 56 seconds of sequencers going haywire, a warning siren from the heart of the cosmos. Then, after a few ominous organ chords, a wise and familiar voice emanates from the speakers. “The numbing is not working any more,” intones Laetitia Sadier, articulating the current sense that everything has ceased to function – even the drugs designed to keep us distracted and supine. “Thirsty is the fear of death… We can’t drink our way out of it.” By this point in the song – entitled “Aerial Troubles” – a typically irresistible yé-yé groove has kicked in and...
