Ingrid Laubrock - The Last Quiet Place / This is so good! It hardly has left my player since I got it. Jazz: Rob Mazurek / Exploding Star Orchestra - Lightning Dreamers / Avant-garde, but not free jazz. Free Human Zoo - The Mysterious Island / French Zeuhl band, where the subgenre originated. Manna/Mirage - Autobiographie / And last but not least, US based Canterbury band, and another great one. Homunculus Res - Ecco l'Impero Dei Doppi Sensi / This time from Italy, another really good Canterbury influenced band. Zopp - Dominion / As I said, 2023 was a good year for neo-Canterbury bands. Seems 2023 was a good year for neo-Canterbury bands. Amoeba Split - Quiet Euphoria / Spanish band steeped in the Canterbury sound. A bit of a retro prog thing going on, but extremely well done. Lars Fredrik Frøislie - Fire Fortellinger / Solo release by keyboardist from great Norwegian band, Wobbler. Prog: Koenji Hyakkei - Nivraym Revisited / Great Zeuhl band (Magma influenced) from Japan, with serious intensity, and ridiculous chops. I could easily have a few more that I rate at the same level as these. With that being said, I will have to cheat, and go over a bit. Overall, a pretty strong year for my tastes. As it was NATO Allies who spearheaded the final revision, it became known from that point on as the NATO Alphabet.As always with this type of thread, I find it impossible to narrow down my choices to only 10, since I listen to 3 genres (and their subgenres). And according to the NATO site, The International Telecommunication Union formally adopted it making it the established universal phonetic alphabet governing all military, civilian and amateur radio communications. The NATO site also lists some other historic versions of this means of communication. Marian writes that before WWII the word for R was Robert. However, the term could have been another name entirely if developments in radio technology and the evolution of the terminology had coincided. Roger wilco would mean, received and will comply.īut in 1956, according to NATO’s website, a phonetic alphabet was designated and the word to signify “R” became Romeo.īut, the term Roger remained thanks to movies, NASA astronauts using it while being broadcast on television and because it was catchy. Radio operators would say “Roger” or “Roger that” to stand for the letter R and tell the sender the message was received. The North Atlantic Treaty Organization said this early version was used by the Army and Navy. In fact – here is the previous one: Able, Baker, Charlie, Dog, Easy, Fox, George, How, Item, Jig, King, Love, Mike, Nan, Oboe, Peter, Queen, Roger, Sugar, Tare, Uncle, Victor, William, X-ray, Yoke, Zebra After all, many of those messages were vital and an error could mean life and death to those receiving or sending them.Īccording to Jakub Marian’s website for language learning, science & art at, they came up with a common phonetic alphabet to use during World War II. There were, and still are, so many dialects and accents even with a common language that radio operators needed to find a way to capture messages clearly. In the 1940s, British and American military members had to learn to communicate despite the language barrier - joke intended. You are right - there isn’t a specialist Roger in every company on post. I’m glad you have a sense of humor mixed in with your question. I know it isn’t the name of a person - but it sure sounds funny from my end hearing Roger talked about so much. This isn’t the first time I’d heard this form of an affirmative and I was wondering what it means and where the term came from. One afternoon I went to pick him up from the unit and I heard him ask a Soldier about something and the Soldier replied, “Roger that, Sir.” My husband is a company commander here on Fort Riley.
