I'd say they're not so much holding back as just being pretty clueless, that's why it's so great! The singer rules, and those lyrics are to die for.I´d give it a 5. Very nice track. But they´re holding back just a tad too much.

Yeah, it's been on top of my list for years now. But knowing another copy may never turn up is kinda neat.Don't even know as I don't really think of records that way.
I just now I like it. A lot.
So primitive and bent.
You must be riding high after having found it... holding it in your hands, making sure it's real.
I know I would.
It's a builder that's for sure. One 3 shot Margarita should do the trick.By all means! I´ve just heard the song once on a Geneva box, I´m pretty sure the experience is a tad better on a proper system and with the lp in sight
Yep:
1508 - Jazz Messengers at Cafe Bohemia vol. 2
1524 - Kenny Dorham - 'Round About Midnight at the Cafe Bohemia
1533 - Johnny Griffin - Introducing
1543 - Kenny Burrell with the Warhol cover
1550 - Hank Mobley
plus a few others.
Also 1549 - Cliff Jordan, John Gilmore - Blowing in from Chicago w/ 63rd St. address
Yes, I believe it's his only release as leader.'John Gilmore' as in Sun Ra's main sax man?
I don't think they are clueless. Calling themselves The Fatigues (= "tired"), it's more likely that "holding back" was their concept. People weren't clueless in the 60s, not more than nowadays. I like it because it's experimental in a funny way. Experimentally stupid, so to speak. Rats' Revenge isn't clueless either. It works so well because those guys knew exactly what they were doing. The crazy thing is that hardly anyone else ever did it as well as they did...I'd say they're not so much holding back as just being pretty clueless, that's why it's so great!
3 good songs, 2 so so, 2 really bad.A whole album of the Fatigues? Wow. What's it like? More rooftops?
The best 3 songs will be on a comp by next year. ROOFTOPS is genius! I give it 8 out of 10...It's about time Lee De and I were on the same page.I'm with Westex on Rooftops. I get this Lord My Cell Is Cold-vibe from it, even tho it is a shame not to grant it its own sovereign praise, just letting it stand for itself.
I would rate it a lot higher, a lot. In its way it is a total epic. I'd take it over You're Gonna Miss Me any ol' day.
Probably one of the best songs I've heard so far this year. When & where can I buy it? Cause I needs it. NOW!
edit:
beats the shit out of I'm Defeated too!
Carpe diemActually, I'm more about the humming sounds of the universe that makes reality real and the collective unconscious defining and finalizing its existence. Capitalism and communism are just two stoopid words that constrains minds and shuts out the vibrations of time and the warmth of space and everything in between.
All we know that in this part of the slice of the oceans of time, we two understand that Rooftops is freakin awesome!
enjoy the day?Carpe diem
