Rae Ray,

Quick Question....

WHERE ARE YOU GETTING CAN on LP? I MUST KNOW!

I gave up looking for CAN on LP, but if I can get them on the web somewhere, I would very much like to know where.

CAN on SACD is pretty good. Really good compared to original CDs. They have most on them reissued except for Cannibolisms... I dont get it...


I will say Amused the Death is one of my facorite CDs of all time along with P&C of H and the Final Cut.
To get back to the original topic, Meddle is much better album compared to others in the 70s



Here is another reason why Meddle is great. I've only done this 2, 3 times.

Playing Echo with 2001 Space Oddessy. I would need to call my friend to refresh my memory, but it work great. And yes, it really works together. I've been sober for a while though......

Hmm... I've been buying locally at Treehouse records. They may be imports, but they've usually been in the $14.99-16.99 range... they're definitely reissues. Don't have them in front of me or I could give you a little more information...

Maybe this should be the subject of another thread, but where are you buying any vinyl at all online? Aside from the obvious stuff like eBay, musicstack, and GEMM, where I find the prices are usually disproportionately padded (everyone wants to charge you $10 s&h on an LP), I have only had streaky luck. A few brick-and-mortar record stores like Reckless in Chicago and Record Collector in Iowa City are online and have much fairer prices, but you pretty much have to get lucky if you're looking for something in particular... I've pretty much sworn off buying vinyl online for the most part, other than ordering new stuff directly from label sites.

Thanks Rae,

I will look for it right after this post. I'm not too picky about getting original pressings anymore.

Look for POst #6 by BrandonH on da link below.

I usually buy from Acoustic Sounds, Music Direct, and SandBoxAutomatic(UnderGnd/Indy Hiphop needs).

But if possible, I prefer to support local stores or any other non-virtual store fronts. I bought 5 new LP today for $60 bucks today, including.

Jim O'Rourke - Eureka

I dont know anything about this guy/group or whatever it may be.
I just had to get it for the cover.

Seriously, how "great" is this cover?


Thanks again for info.

I owned Meddle before I owned any other PF album. Lucky for me I'm the youngest of 5 and my brothers all introduced me to the "Good Stuff".

Seamus is a good howling track that nobody mentioned but every track on the disk is good. One of those rare disks that all tracks are good.

...and that's why you know it so well. I haven't listened to it in years, but I know that track list is about right. I didn't dig it out since Rae didn't respond, so he either missed it, has it, or doesn't want it.

Thanks,
G Swish

Yeah, Jayra, sorry to ruin your internet fantasy about hot chicks that have a thing for obscure music, but Rae is a guy...

That was priceless.

P.S. We do have a few 'chicks' on here that have a thing for obscure music, but I'm not getting into labels such as 'hot' and all since that will only lead to trouble.

Very well. I guess that's what I get for posing on the cover of Eureka album.
From this point on, the bunny will be replaced by bobsticks.

Have I ever told a story about Taylor Hanson? No one ever believed me after an episode of the Family Guy. Not that I ever need to convice people that I had hots for TH. Hmmm... this has taken an interesting turn.

JRA

Thanks for the links, JRA. That Acoustic Sounds site looks like a good place to get some import-only stuff.

Also, that Jim O'Rourke disc is good stuff... surprised you've never heard of him. Aside from his solo stuff, he cut his teeth in the seminal indie band Gastr del Sol and later (and I think still currently) became a full-time member of Sonic Youth. He's also done collaborative stuff with all sorts of jazz, noise, and experimental artists like Derek Bailey and Faust... I saw him once as part of the Dream Aktion Unit with Thurston Moore, Chris Corsano, and Paul Flaherty, and it was pretty incredible. I know you're into jazz-- not sure if yr tastes run to the avant garde at all, but if so, you'd do well to explore his catalog. This particular release is pretty solidly in the experimental rock vein, but still good.

Oh, and Swish, I didn't mean to snub you... I think I'm pretty set on the Pink Floyd that I have, though. I'm not in a Floyd mood all that often anymore and I have plenty to reach for when I am in any case.

And JRA, it's Rae like in Raekwon the Chef. Thought you would've been hip to that... "react so thick, I'm fat, and yo / Rae came blowin' and blew off ya headphones / black rap from yo Cali to Texas / smoother than a Lexus, now's my turn to wreck this."

~Rae

Thanks Rae.

I dont like the word avant garde, cuz it always lead to bi-polar chicks after raves. I feel fried just thinking about it.

Now I can't decide whether to spin Only Built for Cuban Linx or Faust IV. Just keep your eyes open for Cuban Linx Vol. 2.

JRA

Maybe 'experimental' is a better term than 'avant garde'... I'm talking about everything from free jazz like Ornette Coleman and Cecil Taylor to guys like Derek Bailey, Anthony Braxton, or any of the Nurse With Wound list stuff.
