Destination Motherland: The Roy Ayers AnthologyDestination Motherland: The Roy Ayers Anthology by Roy Ayers
Buy new: £8.98 / Used from: £7.22
A great Roy compilation, really good intro to his music
Rhythm of LifeRhythm of Life by James Mason
Buy new: £10.98 / Used from: £19.03
If you're already a fan of Roy, then you might be of James Mason as they did some work together. Powerful funk/jazz album in Roy's style.
The Very Best of Tarika BlueThe Very Best of Tarika Blue by Tarika Blue
Buy new: £12.99 / Used from: £10.73
James also appears on this album, an absolute steal at 3 pounds! Definately worth a go if you like Roy or James.
Rock BottomRock Bottom by Robert Wyatt
Buy used from: £8.94
Such a lovely album, by a wonderful man.
In the Land of Grey and PinkIn the Land of Grey and Pink by Caravan
Buy new: £6.58 / Used from: £4.43
Not jazzy, strictly folkish rock, but a great big slab of Englishness. Drinking cups of tea, fields, flutes and horns.
Hatfield and the NorthHatfield and the North by Hatfield & The North
Buy new: £6.48 / Used from: £4.25
Any big Caravan fan won't need telling about this. Robert Wyatt makes an appearance. It's halfway between Wyatt solo and Caravan. SO English
Unknown PleasuresUnknown Pleasures by Joy Division
Buy new: £6.78 / Used from: £4.49
I don't need to say to much about this, infact that's all I'll say.
Jane from Occupied EuropeJane from Occupied Europe by Swell Maps
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £4.49
Not as entrenched in gloom as Joy Division. Some great tunes, like a cross between the above and Frans Ferdinand. I'm not a fan of the latter, but this album is great
20 Jazz Funk Greats20 Jazz Funk Greats by Throbbing Gristle
Buy new: £6.98 / Used from: £5.50
Bit of a long shot. Pounding electronic beats, gloom etc. Beautiful in its way.
Musik Von HarmoniaMusik Von Harmonia by Harmonia
Buy used from: £22.99
'Natural Kraut' is the liner notes label for this. Throbbing gristle latch on to that repetitive feel that Harmonia do brilliantly.
Get Up with ItGet Up with It by Miles Davis
Buy used from: £6.99
It is jazzified, and if that's not your cup of tea, then veer clear, but it does similar long progressions as Kraut, searching within tunes for more tunes!
Black UnityBlack Unity by Pharoah Sanders
Buy new: £18.49 / Used from: £11.39
And if you like the long, searching tunes of Miles, you can't fail (in my opinion) to find something in Pharoah. He is SUPERB.
Black WomanBlack Woman by Sonny Sharrock
Buy used from: £29.99
Such a stupidly beautiful record; raw, powerful and full of real soul. Wailing voices a plenty, a progression of ideas put out by people like Pharoah.
Live At Fillmore EastLive At Fillmore East by Jimi Hendrix
Buy new: £9.98 / Used from: £6.42
If only for an appreciation of two brilliant guitarists, totally different, but inspired.
Game, Dames & Guitar ThangsGame, Dames & Guitar Thangs by Eddie Hazel
Buy new: £11.98 / Used from: £6.50
Not a big leap at all, especially when you consider Eddie was set to do a set with Buddy Miles and Billy Cox in '72.
