What is spinning?

I have always had an affinity for Bryan Ferry's Bete Noire disc with it's African rhythms, Johnny Marr jangling and atmospheric je ne sais quoi but have always felt the original born in the fledgling era of digital recording and effects processing needed reworking. I have commented as such in private and, I believe, on this here forum. Imagine my surprise to find a remixed version in the used bins of my local. Very nice indeed.

[Mr Peabody]

A couple vinyls today, started with Tammy Wynette, 2 of the 4 Crusaders I picked up and I had planned to go with Robin Trower's, Bridge of Sighs after that but things got interrupted.

I'll have to check that Brian Ferry out. Some of Peter Gabriel's stuff has some African rhythms.

jrhyme- I own a copy of the Hannibal Marvin Peterson disc you picked up for $10. The music is pretty off the top, loose, not terribly structured, but sonically, well, you'll see when you listen. Suggest you let Naima play all the way thru. You can't find nothin by this artist on Amazon. Nyet. He was a featured player in The Gil Evans Orchestra for many years.

I was interesting but nothing to praise about. I got the feeling i wont be playing it again anytime soon. But when I do playing it again, I'll enjoy it much more than I did.

Spun: Blue Note Remix Vol. One, 2LP set.

I havent played music in a while, and it feels great to find the bottom of groove again.

Peace out,

Martin Frost~Mozart: Clarinet Concerto & Quintet

Ann Wilson's recent covers album. Since I now know what to expect I put this on when I was in the mood to listen to it. The album was better this time. I think you guys might like it. The songs are familiar tunes but she really re-works them. I can't explain they are sort of acoustic or folk based but some explode with Ann's power. She uses violin, mandolin as well as other instruments not normally found on a Heart album.

Tinsley Ellis - Moment of Truth, good electric Blues with organ.

I need to get me some small emsemble(No orchestrial stuff for me).

Really enjoying:

John Scofield & Pat Metheny - I can see your House from Here.

Not kinda stuff I wanna be playing when I'm communiting to work, but a great stuff to slowly recharge my soul.

Peace out,

Isn't Claptons Unplugged a sweet recording , just listened to the very same last night.

For some strange reason I have a desire to listen to some Straits now

I must say basite your taste in music and gear is beyond your years, Cheers

You guys need to check this one out. Not sure if you get it on a CD...

Goes against what I believe in, but F*it. Check out the link below.

Provocative Percussion Vol.2

I thought I had Vol. 1 but can't find it. Looks like there are total of 4 volumes. Looks like I got some hunting to do.
You all can have it on the HD, but I need it on wax.

Peace out,

You Won't Forget Me- Shirley Horne (Verve). My wife and daughter paid for me to have my listening room painted for my birthday. When I moved my system back in I decided to only put back what I needed for CD playback tonite and just a few furnishings. Damn! That's sure is some good paint! That is an exceptional recording, BTW, if I haven't already said so. I originally heard it on about 50K worth of gear at a dealer and bought it that same day. You won't need 50K worth of gear to appreciate it.

.....this, from beginning to end.


If ever there was recorded music to be listened to through Tubes on Virgin Vinyl - this is it. Absolute bliss. Close your eyes and you get transported to the magical and dramatic Icelandic Landscape. Outstanding.Real care taken in pressing and presented in the most fantastic package. Box set limited to 5000. So grab one while you can. For me, the buy of the year.

Peace

[bobsticks]

I have remained blissfully unaware of Sigur Ros but te amount of good press they've been getting lately is surely gonna send me out on a hunt.

Currently spinning is Sonny Stitt Quartet's Personal Appearance, a 96kHz 24 bit doohickey from the Verve label. Solid performance and consumate mastering bring right to ya, highlighted improbably by the upright bass and piano...

...Nevertheless, the big winner of the day is decisevly Isaac Hayes' Shaft on SACD. Trolling through the pine boxes I happened on this and as so many times happens snapped it up on a lark. Wow. What an eclectic mix of funky jazz set to beats and horns sure to set your toes to tappin' if you're anything warmer than wormfodder. If you come across this rare gem and don't buy it let there be a pox on your house.

Seriously, it's that damn good.

Bernd,

I listened to a bit of that music on line and looks really promising. Sounds like a great stuff for me to get a way from my usuals without going ROCK

I hope I'll be able to snag a copy before they are sold out. I hear alot of great recommendations on this site, but I was really pulled in by this one. $150 isnt too out of the reach, but would like to save my money on a new pair of speakers. Maggies will be replaced before the spring comes around.

Tonight I've enjoyed self titled album by Saul Willaims, and the Downward Spiral by NIN.

Have a great week to all and be sure NOT to feed your dogs turkey bone.

Peace out to all,

H

You can't go wrong with jazz on the Verve, especially Sonny Stitt. Definetely one of the greatest hard/bebop sax player.

Et tu, Scarbo?



What's the smart bet on new Rhymedaddy speaks? Have you tried horns yet, jay? High -efficiency anyone? How's about somethin' saucy like: http://cls.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls....ull&1200159640


NP: Bill Evans Trio~Waltz for Debby

[jrhymeammo]

Damn, that is SAUCY!!

Horny with a pair of 300B would be very nice, but not sure if I wanna do that with my pre that has a bit of higher gain stage.

Realistically, I would probably get a pair of Von Sche VR-4 JR. Used pair of Sonus Faber Cremona Auditor would be sweet, but I would have to get a hunky sub. Whatever I
'll decide to do, I'll be powering them with valves.

NP: the Downward Spiral. 2nd SAC Disk.

Peace out,

[jrhymeammo]

I'll be spinning these albums on a circular platter today:

Ween - Shinola Vol.1
Crawford and McGriff - On the Blue Side
The Who - Meaty Beaty Big & Bouncy
Roxy Music - '73~'80
Air - Talkie Walkie
Bjork - Vespertine(CD)

I have another album but will try my best to keep it sealed.

Have a great weekend to all,

Regards,

Leftover Salmon, Ask-The-Fish (Live)

Yeah.... I know.... throw your stones if you have them! Also listened to some Muddy Waters last night, but I don't recall the album, and Eric Clapton, From The Cradle....

[Mr Peabody]

Over the weekend I cleaned and spun a very good Crusaders album. This was the 4th in a batch of 4 I bought at the last record show. I kept 3 of the 4. I would have kept the other one too except the vinyl was a bit worn which caused noise and coupled with the fact it was a mediocre album, it had to go. I know hard to believe a mediocre Crusaders album. It had a lot of songs with vocals. Actually, to their credit many of their albums do differ from each other. After that was Jefferson Starship, Freedom At Point Zero. Good music, I wasn't crazy about it's production. I have Elton John's, Yellow Brick Road. I'm waiting until I'm in the mood and have time to listen to a double LP. I hope it's in good shape.

[bobsticks]

Anyone heard of The Derailers? I picked up the 1997 Reverb Deluxe out of the used bins soley based on the packaging. Kinda a mixed bag of Buck Owens and Junior Brown, or maybe Prince and The Grand Ol Opry...and speaking of Mr. Rogers Nelson, there's an hilarious hidden track of a twangified "Raspberry Beret" that is worth the price of admission all by itself.

Legal Weapon: Your Weapon

I first heard there guys doing Equalizer on New Wave Theater and was equally enamored of their singer, Kat Arthur, who was singing with a live snake wrapped around the mike, and their fantastic guitar assult. I don't know if anything by these guys is still in print. But their first EP, No Sorrow, and their first LP, Death of Innocence, are both really good if you run across 'em. Patricia Morrison of Gun Club and Sisters of Mercy fame was on the EP. Listening to their third release, Your Weapon from 1982, right now.
