Tuesday "New look" thread. Whoo hoo big whup!

[-Jar-]

working on comps for my uncle.. his time was the late 60's/ early 70's, like a lot of yuns..

so, I've been ripping stuff out of many comps, totally taking them out of context and perhaps ruining the intended flows as such..

there's lots of awesome music on the following comps:

Living in the Past (JDaniel)
A Day in the Life of a Head (Hyfi?)
Steely Dan comp (the Hyfi's)
Moody Blues comps (PPG)
Stems, Seeds, 1970 comps (DLD)
1974 (Audiobill)
Just say WO! & that Accoustic comp (Mr. Midfi)
plus others assorted songs. .thanks maf, davey, slosh, Rae, others..

I'll post about them when they're done.

plus spun some Crimson..
Court of the Crimson King
Starless and Bible Black

and some Dead: One From the Vault (a very nice performance of "Franklin's Tower")

some classical:

Bruckner Symphony #6, Stanislaw Scrowaczewski, on Ars Nova.. a VERY nice recording.. I just read his whole cycle is out.. I'll have to investigate further.

Mahler Symphony #5, Solti, Chicago Symphony (early 90's recording)

hey PatD....................

I saw the Greig piano concerto performed Saturday night with the local symphony........the pianist was Jorge Frederico Osorio -- awesome.

As for the weekly list -- it is a bit odd:

All of the Wilson/Gann tunes so we could compare the sonices/production of the latest stuff.
Train of Thought -- DREAM THEATER
Prog Covers -- a comp from BarryL
Hungarian Rhapsodies -- Liszt
PolymorphicProg -- a comp from Troy
ST -- Mike & the Mechanics
UK -- UK
Fly Like the Wind -- McCoy Tyner
6 DOIT -- DREAM THEATER
The Totentanz -- Liszt

Listened to all of my BMG discount purchases...thanks again to whoever posted that link (JC, was that you?), which include the following:

Wilco - Summerteeth
Rush - Farewell to Kings (remaster)
Best of Velvet Underground
Radiohead - The Bends
Dave Matthews Band - Under the Table & Dreaming
John Lennon - Collection
The Who - Tommy (remaster)

I'm also digging the assorted Bowie tunes and live Springsteen selected cuts I downloaded from Apple's iTunes and burned to disc. I now also have 81 songs from various artists in my dump cart that I have yet to download/purchase.

Also...The Notwist - Neon Golden (perfect for a rainy day)
Steely Dan - Royal Scam (remaster)
The Strokes' new one (me likes)

Tried to listen to Finch's Halloween thingy, but it doesn't play in my car for some reason. And I forgot to bring Slosh's year-end disc with me today (muchas gracias, amigo).

Still liking the new Rush and Peter Gabriel DVDs, but only have time to play bits and pieces now and then.

I plan to buy the new U2 live DVD and Queen's Night at the Opera for my wife today. She turns 40 in 4 days (yes, she was born the day JFK was shot...and no, that's not ALL I'm getting for her).

Lucky you! I've never heard the Grieg concerto live. I'm not familiar with the pianist. Sounds excellent.

Manfred Mann's Earth Band - The Best Of
Gene Love Jezebel - Heavenly Bodies
Tubeway Army - Replicas
XTC - Oranges and Lemons
Joe Jackson - Look Sharp!
Uriah Heep - Abominog
Uriah Heep - Salisbury
Uriah Heep - Innocent Victim
Wishbone Ash - Twin Barrels Burning
Moody Blues - To Our Childrens Childrens Children
Porcupine Tree - Lightbulb Sun
Clapton - Another Ticket

I wanted to introduce myself to some Jazz so on the recommendations from the folks here I bought Brubecks' Time Out and Coltranes' Blue Train. Now, I'm not an avid listener of Jazz but these are both very fine albums and I'm happy with these purchases. I think I may get some Miles Davis and Thelonius Monk next.

Johnny Cash - American IV: The Man Comes Around
Johnny Cash - At San Quentin

Like Jazz, I'm not an avid listener of country/western music. However, the late Johnny Cash is one man I will always enjoy.

Uriah Heep - Abominog

Darren

Abominog!

I have that one.. I haven't spun it in years..

I'll have to pull it out, but not when my daughter is awake, the cover art might give her nightmares!

It's got a couple of decent tracks but for the most part it has a very dated 1982 sound. Yeah, the cover art is gruesome indeed.

The earlier stuff from Heep is by far their best work, imo.

I usually lurk & learn, but sometimes feel compelled to write...

Darren,

If you enjoyed Time Out and Blue Train, and you're looking for some Miles and Monk, may I suggest:

Miles' - Kind of Blue
Monk's - Oh Yeah!

These are both good introductions to these great artists.

I too make an exception to my normal Country bias with Johnny Cash, and I just heard American IV: The Man Comes Around last week, and really enjoyed it. Seemed very poignant in light of his passing.

Hope you like the Jazz,
Mysterio

Do you mean Mingus's Oh Yeah!? (?!!!??!)
Or was there a different Monk album you were thinking of?

You are not the "stupidestboy"...

I AM!!!

I did mean Mingus' Oh Yeah. I like Monk and Mingus so much, but I haven't listened to them in awhile.

Didn't even faze me that I was mixing the two.

Well, a Monk album that I can recommend would be Brilliant Corner's...but my credibility is now shot, I'm sure.

Great, I'll just cower into the corner, shut up and return to my normal lurking now...

Before I go, check out MINGUS' OH YEAH!! ha ha

No wonder I couldn't find that. Just kidding.

Hey, I just bought Miles' Birth of the Cool, Porgy and Bess and Miles Smiles. Only listened to Birth thus far. I looked for Monk's Brilliant Corners but it was out of stock.

And you sound like you may be our friend Mad Rhetorik, Mr. Mysterio, for whom these suggestions came from.

I'll look into that Mingus suggestion also.

Don't be silly, stick around. Brain cramps are common around here. Not with me of course, but everyone else. You blend right in.
