Why? Cheese can be fun. Cheese can remind you not to take things so seriously and just enjoy some nonsense. Cheese can be like a hot bowl of tomato soup on a cold day: not necessarily amazing aesthetically but it makes you feel warm and happy.

Or they do it in a charming way that makes you happy.

Cosa Brava
Ragged Atlas

Really solid avant-prog/rock in opposition that is to be expected from somebody like Fred Frith. We also got members from Sleepytime Gorilla Museum in this bitch so it can go off the rails a bit at times and that's what I like.

This is a great and underappreciated one.
Love that band.
The first time I saw Frith live was with them and they were amazing.

I need to see the Frith man play live. I don't care who the hell he's playing with.

Fela Ransome Kuti & The Africa '70
Open & Close

Essential. They should just play this in its entirety before anything formal to get those party juices flowing. Football games, Hockey games, funerals, graduations, bat mitzvahs, weddings, I don't care.

Ludus
The Seduction

How has it taken me this long to come across this? Somebody owes me an explanation. Elph, this record might make you cool if you like it. Post punk mixed with Henry Cow, prog bands, the Raincoats, and Suburban Lawns. It's wild.

Don Cherry
Brown Rice

This is an unknown record of sorts from Cherry but one that I thought nailed every aspect of what it was trying to do. Tribal, spiritual, modal and everything inbetween. Billy Higgins is a monster on the kit too.

I might be wrong but I thought that record is well-known among his fans.

It’s ****ing great either way. Unassailable.

I could be wrong too. It didn't have that many ratings on RYM so I assumed it just didn't click or wasn't well known.
