A Mod-ern Sound
I went with a 60s Mod sound with this, my January podcast, which features elements from Sitars to Soundtracks. Let me know what you think...
Setlist
The Dave Pike Set : Mathar
This tune still sounds as if it were written yesterday, and gets people asking me about it whenever I play it.
Stolen Identity : Argentina
I'm not sure where the drum loop was sampled from, but the whole track has this great moody mod jazz vibe...
Bullet : Contract Man
This is from the soundtrack Bullet did for "The Hanged Man" on Contour records... well worth the admission price if you can turn up a copy...
(Various) : Games
This "Games" tune is from the obscure Octopus italian library music label, and not much is known about it...
The Bobby Hughes Combination : Sahara '72
1966, or 2006? Gee I'm not sure, especially with this tune blaring in the background...
Gabor Szabo : Walking On Nails
Bernard Purdie makes a guest appearance on this Sitar-y track, with Gabor himself on vocals...
