Stevie’s near-fatal car accident the previous year seemingly hangs over this album: Song titles like “They Won’t Go When I Go” and “Heaven is 10 Zillion Light Years Away”; his youthful nostalgia depicted in the cover art (another stunning painting done in brown tones), and a general low-key reflective tone predominate. Though Stevie still handles almost all keys and drums himself, he’s regularly adding guitars, horns, an exotic percussionist or two, and lots of backing voices (including superstars Paul Anka and the Jackson 5 – not to mention future stars like Deniese Williams and Minnie Riperton.) Basically, anybody who can do anything spectacular that he can’t already do himself. A subtly beautiful effort, a bit too relaxed maybe. (Major exception: the glorious “Boogie On Reggae Woman “, which contains no reggae at all; it’s uptempo New Orleans piano-rocking r&b updated to include sputtering Moog bass counterpoint to the piano, and some extended chromatic harmonica soloing in that familiar searing, cheering bluesy tone.) No matter: a second consecutive Granny Award winner/album of the year.
Several members of Wonder’s live band “Wonderlove” appear hear; they’ll make more significant appearances on Wonder’s next LP, which will be a full TWO years in the making: he obviously intends for it to be his Grand Statement. As for now, it’s worth noting: Fulfillingness’ First Finale is the 24-year old’s 17th studio album!
OK, enough about Stevie for now. Up next will be a collection of McCartney/Wings hits, I guess.

Offline Doing a round-up of straightforward, first-gen punk rock before I move on to ticking off all the big post punk albums. For some reason I was under the impression that the Buzzcocks simply didn’t do studio albums and were purely a singles band, but I just played their debut album Another Music in a Different Kitchen and I’m very impressed. Lots of great songs, a superb rhythm section and the 7 minute closer ‘Moving Away From The Pulsebeat’ was just awesome; an exploration of the possibilities of drumming within a punk framework, and then to top it off a reprise of the riff from ‘Boredom’ (from their legendary Spiral Scratch EP that basically kickstarted independent music), which also opens up the album too.
Now I’m going on to another poppish late 70s punk effort, the self titled effort by The Undertones. After that, if I decide to stay up, will be Stiff Little Fingers’ Inflammable Material, another Northern Irish punk group, albeit one with a distinctly more political bent.

Offline Don’t neglect the Stateside new-wave/punk highlights of the same era, Qman! 
Pere Ubu, Suicide, Voidoids, Bizarros…
Or especially check out the obscure 1975 “Static Disposal” by Debris, pre-punk weirdoes from Chickasaw, Oklahoma(!) And I encourage you to give further study of my beloved “Hard Attack” (MX-80), its peculiar mixture of heavy metal, surf, free jazz, pre-math rock knottiness and self-conscious fourth-wall breaking jokey poetics and muttered asides; Bruce Anderson’s bent alternate tunings and insect-buzz soloing; the unpredictable nature of the two drummers..my love for this oddity from Bloomington Indiana, 1977 knows no bounds

Today, tomorrow, and yesterday, too
The flowers are dyin’ like all things do
Follow me close, I’m going to Balian Bali
I’ll lose my mind if you don’t come with me
I fuss with my hair, and I fight blood feuds
I contain multitudes
Got a tell-tale heart, like Mr. Poe
Got skeletons in the walls of people you know
I’ll drink to the truth and the things we said
I’ll drink to the man that shares your bed
I paint landscapes, and I paint nudes
I contain multitudes
Red Cadillac and a black mustache
Rings on my fingers that sparkle and flash
Tell me, what’s next? What shall we do?
Half my soul, baby, belongs to you
I relic and I frolic with all the young dudes
I contain multitudes
I’m just like Anne Frank, like Indiana Jones
And them British bad boys, The Rolling Stones
I go right to the edge, I go right to the end
I go right where all things lost are made good again
I sing the songs of experience like William Blake
I have no apologies to make
Everything’s flowing all at the same time
I live on the boulevard of crime
I drive fast cars, and I eat fast foods
I contain multitudes
Pink petal-pushers, red blue jeans
All the pretty maids, and all the old queens
All the old queens from all my past lives
I carry four pistols and two large knives
I’m a man of contradictions, I’m a man of many moods
I contain multitudes
You greedy old wolf, I’ll show you my heart
But not all of it, only the hateful part
I’ll sell you down the river, I’ll put a price on your head
What more can I tell you?
I sleep with life and death in the same bed
Get lost, madame, get up off my knee
Keep your mouth away from me
I’ll keep the path open, the path in my mind
I’ll see to it that there’s no love left behind
I’ll play Beethoven’s sonatas, and Chopin’s preludes
I contain multitudes
References a Bowie song and the Rolling Stones among many other things.

Now THIS is what I’m talking about.
I still don’t like those 11 minute noise pieces. I could do without Interstellar Overdrive on the debut & the self-titled track on this, I think they’re just nonsense, but the music on the rest of the tracks of Saucerful is classic Pink Floyd.
I gotta say the second listen to The Piper at the Gates of Dawn was more forgiving, to be fair, but A Saucerful of Secrets clicked right away. Underrated is what I call it. Waters really shows his chops on this one and it goes incredibly well. Sorry, Syd, you were the problemStill love ya tho (in spirit).
