John paul jones the thunderthief rar

Yes, I'm talking about the legendary Robert Fripp performing on an ex-Led Zeppelin members solo album. The whole concept just blows my mind especially considering what an amazing performance Mr. Fripp gives on Leafy Meadows! The Thunderthief might not be the follow-up I way expecting from John Paul Jones but it's great to know that he can still surprise the listeners and it's truly a pity that Jones still haven't released a follow-up to this album.

Second song has vocals JP Jones himself , I am not sure that was good idea. John also plays all string big list and all keys. In fact, all the musicians team is duo JP Jones plus drummer Terl Bryant with three guest guitarist , each just played on one or two tracks.

The music is complex and muddy, but with real lack of composition. It looks JP enjoy playing so many instruments, mixing the sound in one final product.

But too often it is more attractive to himself, than to listener. I love it! Plenty of dirty energy in sound, but the result is too faceless again or it was the initial idea - just to record real punk opus, which should be faceless, dirty and full of energy. Sounds as LZ goes KC.

Far from masterpiece, it brings some interesting moments from music and musicians we love. Don't think it has any attraction for newcomers. Fripp arrives before 40 seconds and just impresses like he usually does the rest of the way.

The title track is a top four opening with thunder and rain before we get this uptempo sound with vocals which is unfortunate. Check out Beggs and Jones on this one! An uptempo barn burner with some organ later. The biggest letdown for me is "Angry Angry" a punk inspired tune with terrible vocals and lyrics.

Just blows me away that people like this style of music. A lame track that I actually despise haha. Reserved vocals and piano mostly. Mandolin dominates late but early on the guitar arrangements really impress.

This is a good one with a very unfortunate 6 minute track called "Angry Angry". People who have come across JPJ in their lifes usually realize that he is the most versatile musician in the rock scene, with only Mike Oldfield trailing behind. Funny how two musicians with similar talent end up in different roads.
