  1. Early spring morning chill music 'High Life' the second album from Brian Eno and Karl Hyde, is out now. “A startling and inspiring record” - 8.5 Pitchfork (Best New Music) “It’s alive and fluid… rejecting the standard order” - Sasha Frere-Jones, The New Yorker
  2. Didn't buy this when I saw it (approx 1990)in college and finally got it today. Only if I had a "time" machine I would visit this night in LA for sure. Got to see phish at Hollywood Bowl a couple years back and by far my new favorite outdoor venue. A close second would be Wolf Trap in Va. **** Unknown Online review:**** Recorded September 22, 1972 under a full moon and smiling skies at the Hollywood Bowl / Tape from the collection of Wren Aldo / Edited by Deek Kibard / The first track (Breathe) had to substituted from another performance due to unfortunate flaws in the original Hollybowl tape / Cover featuring the delightful Miss Goody atop ger good friend Jake, by Art Gnuvo / It's in Stereo / Another bonus / TAKRL 3969*
  3. Calling all non-dead fans, please check out CD2, also many free copies streaming on line. Topnotch interplay between musicians with a strong understanding of one anothers abilities and tendencacies, with major ingredients of jazz, traditional country, and rock . All of this is being conducted by impressive bass leads, which are some of the best my ears have ever heard live in a "rock-n-roll" recording. AllMusic review: Apart from the usual host of originals and lively covers, they dedicate no less than 40 minutes of their set to playing one of their only occasionally offered "palindromic" medleys, beginning with "Playing in the Band," transitioning into "Uncle John's Band," centering with "Morning Dew," then jamming backwards again into "Uncle John's Band" before ending with four more minutes of "Playing in the Band."
  4. picked this up Fri for a few bucks and it is very cool. Not my favorite arrangements but cool sound for a recording made in the 40's and the updated producation sounds great and the presentation is impressive. Informative pics and background story of producation.
  5. Put this on to calm my 6 and 10 yr old boys pre-bedtime,...not happening, but I feel alseep. Also, I discovered what high tide sounds like in my living room.
  6. https://weru.org/ A Jem of northeast Maine, near Acadia Ntl Park, an Independent Community Radio Station. Since I recently purchased my first TX-11, this station comes in crystal clear and I'm exposed to new music every listening session. So gratifying to listen to the radio for an hour and not recognize all the same tunes. Plus the tuner looks so cool when all the Red LED's are glowing. Support your local DJ!
  7. Wow, ..like a history book coming to life.... Thanks to the research that went into the box set The Complete Miles Davis/John Coltrane Sessions there's a definitive Newport 1958 date that features the debut live performances to the Miles Davis Sextet's two newest members: drummer Jimmy Cobb and pianist Bill Evans. The gig was part of a festival tribute to Duke Ellington, but that didn't stop Davis from showing off -- aggressively -- what his new band was capable of (six months later he would show the world when the band went to record Kind of Blue). This is a revelatory performance for fans of Evans. When Cobb kicks off into Charlie Parker's "Au-Leu-Cha," the tempo is breakneck. Davis' solo is all fire, pure heat, and inspiration. The melody goes by in a blink, and Cobb and Chambers carry the dictum to go faster as Davis gives way first to Coltrane, already moving his angular lines to the harmonic breaking point and doing them not in scales but in modes, fast and footloose. He's down in the groove before giving it to Cannonball Adderley to show off his bebop chops -- which he possesses in spades. He's out of the Bird book to be sure, but his tone is stunning and he's loose, free as a bird as he leaps from one idea to the next before the melody shifts the tune back to Earth for only a second. The sextet doesn't stop when it literally rocks through Thelonious Monk's "Straight No Chaser." Evans' harmonic invention on the tune couldn't be further from the composer's, but it hardly matters. His melodic fire and ability to move tonal mountains in the harmonic intervals is near effortless. Coltrane's solo is notable in that he's squeaking and squawking for the first time on record, and Adderley's for how rich and melodic it is. By the time Evans gets to his solo, he's down in Monk's blues all right, but they're so ornate and beautiful, they swing, sway, and are full of color, as nuanced as they come. There is no academia in his approach -- it's all emotion and sophistication.
  8. cool vinyl and a must listen for all Roger Water fans, you have been warned...
  9. The guys have issues, but they sound like Peter Gabriel era Genesis with a little King Crimson and late 80's death metal thrown in, lol. I purchased it for a .96 and scared my wife and kids, ahh nice to know I still got it.
  10. WYWH from the Floyd box set Shine on, this is one CD where I heard the C-1 come to life.
  11. Inner sleve said it produces a better soundstage?
  12. Got it today on green, 180gram v., and #4018 out of #7,000...lol. It had a funny odor to it....
  13. I enjoyed reading about folks reference music and ofcourse listening to them as it expanded my library. I came across this in a Georgetown music store years back and always put it on to hear my system come to life. I'm impressed the way the notes from a cello or singer linger due to the acoustics in the old church. I'm curious if anyone has ever listened to it.
