OK I began the day all jazzed about listening to something new. I looked for September Winds by Evan Parker et al on YouTube. OK I found something and start playing it. Here it took like a song and a half realized it was the wrong album. It was Short Stories. OK I searched again and I found something and started listening to it. I had to do some stuff so I had to drop the album. However instead of going back to the album I went to listen to some other albums - Punk, alt Rock, and indie. So after all of that, I decide to go back to the album and here once again realized I was playing the wrong album. Here it turned out I was listening to Alder Brook, and it was Garanoir that had the instruments that sounded like didgeridoos. OK I gotta get serious, and I got to find this album. So back to business I went. In my quest to find the right album, September Winds, stumble across September by Earth, Wind, & Fire. I couldn't resist and I just had to listen to that song. Which btw was a major mistake cause as I was listening to it I was thinking how great that song sounded I wanted to hear more EW&F. It was then I got this idea that I should go through all their albums and pick the best one for The Album Club. Thinking if only Trollheart heard how terrific the horn section (known as The Phoenix Horns) sounded on those EW&F albums, maybe, just maybe he will change his mind about them appearing on Phil Collins, and Genesis albums. Then I had to stop myself. I thought this is getting ridiculous. There is no way do I have enough time today to go through all of those albums. OK back to business I go looking for this album. It didn't dawn on me immediately but the whole problem was I was using YouTube to find the album. I just naturally assumed whatever was in the returns was the album I was looking for. So I realized the best bet was not to use YouTube and use Spotify. I go there and I had trouble with that immediately. I had to fiddle with that to get it to work. I swear Murphy's Law rules my life.

After I listen to the first track I realize I was much more comfortable listening to Adler Brook. So back to that album I went. In all honesty I did intend to listen to September Winds but I never got around to it. So the whole day is shot. I fear at this rate I'll never going to be able to review this album for The Album Club. Hopefully I will be able to listen to September Winds and review the album before the week is out.

If September Winds is as good as Alder Brook, I figure around a 7/10 to 8/10. ~ 4/5

P.S. I know I had the opportunity and lie about the whole thing and say I listening to September Winds when really I was listening to Alder Brook, but I didn't, I have integrity and I take this Album Club seriously.
