jimHJJ(...good listening...)
e/w doesnt come accross like a live recording
west has some real industrial strength playing on it. i was surprised, i have been bored by some of frisell's work in the past but THIS is different.
last time i heard it in public was on some $60k von schweikert spks driven by-SURPRISE-a pair of $2300 200wpc monoblocks from CIA (channel island audio). the surprise being ow great $60 spks sounded on $2300 amplification.
anyway, west is hard hitting. try it, you wont be sorry and its two discs for about the price of one.
