Patti Smith - Constantine's Dream


Today I made a small visit to a very good and cozy little record shop, mostly to congratulate the store owner on his birthday and chat a little music, always a pleasure to slip in and exchange a few words, see what has happened within the music market and if something fun have been released. For some reason when you get in it usually is very rarely that you come out empty handed.

Also this time I came out with a bag in my hand. Today it became in fact an album with Patti Smith, her latest on Vinyl, which apparently should sound fantastic according to the store owner ... fun going to be really nice to listen to it. But as usual I can not keep myself, on with Spotify and listen to the plate. Shit, this was really good, she is truly have a high standard even if the years has gone. The album sounds really good. Banga has sweet moments of tunes" with alot of magic.



Banga is the eleventh studio album by American rock musician, polar prize winner Patti Smith, released on June 1, 2012. Recorded throughout 2011 at New York's Electric Lady Studios and Hoboken's Hobo Recorders, Banga was produced by Smith, Tony Shanahan, Jay Dee Daugherty and collaborator Lenny Kaye. The album includes a number of guest muscians including Tom Verlaine of Television, Jack Petruzzelli and Smith's own children, Jackson and Jesse Paris.

Inspired by Smith's "unique dreams and observations," the material on Banga focuses on "a wide range of human experience" and features songs about history, current affairs, death and nature.

Todays tune "Constantine's Dream", taken from Banga, is one of the album's stand-out tracks, the one that really hooked me.
