A situation that is rectified, good sir...done while listening to the magnificent thwapping and catterwauling of:

Polyphonic Sprees, Fragile Army
Quite an interesting sound.

Echoes of Eternity, Forgotten Goddess
Excellent album if you are into Metal. Francine Boucher has one of the most hypnotic voices I think I've ever heard. The album is very well recorded and produced as well. Off the top of my head I can't think of many "reference" Rock recordings but this would be one for me.

......Moo, You Bloody Choir.

Really enjoying this at the moment. One of the finds of the year for me.
Augie March are a quintet from Melbourne, Oz who play literate, studied music richly adorned with unexpected turns of phrase, both lyrical and musical.

Peace

Now there's one that's beyond me. Worth checking out?

"Early String Symphonies"? You gettin' all hoity-toity on us mang? Interesting. Do I sense a small journey into the realm of classical, or at least small ensemble?

Me? What am I spinning Jay? I'm spinning the vinyl you sent me on my middle finger while facing Kentucky and singing Chocolate Jesus. Happy holidays, jackass :)


NP: Schubert Trio Op.99~Collard/Dumay/Lodeon

That makes me feel better. We were worried that you would confused them with some kind of new-age cockrings.:cornut:

Classical music is about the only genre that sounds halfway real in my current system. I think Fisher Price can make speakers that sound less metallic and plastic.

You can never go wrong with Jazz on Prestige and Mating Call is no exception. Not sure what it is, but 38 minutes seem much shorter on CD than LP. Perhaps you'll find out with a VInyl Killer.

Best Regards,

Hhhhmmmnn. Clearly Jayra isn't clever enough to come up with this on his own, and I had suspected involvement from a British source, but I see now that the conspiracy expands to include the Flemish.So, yes, my young friend, it seems as if I am now in the market for a turntable...

....vote for the Budos Band. Got this last week and it does make a nice noise.
So far this grey x-mas morn I have enjoyed one of bobs rec.

"Hank Mobley - Roll Call" this one got me started on my jazz journey. Thanks b.

"Nobody's - 2007 comp" always interesting listening and lots to like. Cheers.

"Iron and Wine - The Sheperds Dog" a gem of an album.

Peace and festive wishes to all

:16:

Un huh, how timely, my old friend, that you would make your way into this now...thanks for steering the course of my fledgling audiophilism...I see your hand in this:idea:

Those are great albums Bernd, one and all. The Iron and Wine didn't take long to grow on me, and probably would have been on the Most Listened To of 2007 had it been released a few months earlier.

Peace

Thanks Jim,

All discs cleaned up well and playing great. Not a bad one among them. Will check the Andrew Hill out.

Spinning right now:

"Ed Harcourt - Strangers" Forgot what a great album this is.

Peace

:16:

Bernd is an evil man. Perhaps he'll be kind enough to send his spare TT to Indy. Talk about a Christmas Mirale!!! If that happens, I'll splurge for a $10 Gift Certificate for LP gears.com

Point of Departure? I still dont know what to make of that album. Hey Jim, do you consider that album to be experimental Jazz? Help me out here.

JRA

Hey Bernd,

If you want another great album by Hank Mobley in mono, then be sure to check out

Jazz Message #2 on Savoy (MG-12092).http://toutemusique.com/img/492f3331...415a37354c.jpg. I imagine anything lower than 12092 should be recorded in mono. Not the highest in fidelity(imperfection of the master tape (trk 2-1), but should be as good as any others during 1956.


OKay, 'ticks. I think you posted Roll Call about 3 times, and I had to finally grab a copy on wax. I kept thinking yeah that's just another album by the middleweight champion(from Workout BN4080). I think it deserves another pic.

I'll be spinning one of these LP next:

.....for the heads up. I put it on my ever growing list. See what I can find at our local end of year record fair on Saturday.
The mail man just delivered my Kenny Burrell and John Coltrane in mint original mono vinyl all the way from upstate NY.:)

This morning during kitchen duty I enjoyed these:

"Woody Herman and his Thundering Herd - Blues in the Night"

"The Flaming Stars - Born under a Bad Neon Sign"

"Holly Golightly - Slowly but Surely"

Peace

:16:

No, brother. It's not experimental in the sense that the word was used during this time. His compositions are very tight actually, but his approach is his own. Go back and listen to the opening track- Refuge. Tony Williams is playing very fast on this but Hill, himself, is playing (piano) more slowly counter to the tempo and giving the composition a kind of juxtaposition. And he creates lots of small bridges in this for the soloists to trampoline off of and that they do! He reigns em in then let's them go. Dolphy has never sounded more coherent to me on this. He's right on time! Think ebb and flow with Hill setting the (somber) mood and communicating the bridges with Williams underpinning the composition with fire and light. Great solos from Dolphy, Dorham, and Henderson. And Hill, emphatically, who solos first. Unusual on a date with horns. He was kind of Monk like. I love the cat. He was deep.

Typical. Take a few days off work for the holiday and now regret it. It's amazing how you pay for these things despite best intentions. Ahh well, it would seem that Oscar and the boys hold the key to a bigtime decompression session--with more to follow surely.

.....by My Morning Jacket has just been enjoyed very much from start of disc 1 to finish of disc 4. This has to be one of the most atmospheric and uplifting live records I know and own. It never fails to lift spirits and makes air guitar playing :lol: very tempting.
Hope all are well and having a great time.

Peace

:7:

well, I just bought some LP's...

Kenny Burrell - All night long & All day long (which, as a side note, is my first experience with a mono recording, and it was a good experience :))
Bill Evans - Conversations with myself (I already had this on cd, but the recording sucked, so I bought it on vinyl, I should have done that earlier :))
Eric Clapton - Slowhand
Grant Green - The final comedown (hell yeah :cornut:, a new pressing, but never remastered or anything else, just a new pressing, just fantastic)
Herbie Hancock - Maiden Voyage (also a new, unremastered pressing, also fantastic)

Keep them spinning,
Bert.

Probably won't get too much traction around these parts, with y'all two-channel vinylphiles :) but there's some Diana Krall~Live in Paris spinning in glorious DTS...mmm, digital electrostatic goodness.
