Any ECM fans here?

I've always loved the sound Manfred Eicher gets in the studio.  It's great to hear so many new musical ideas.  Whether you call it jazz, or whatever...it's always interesting music to me.  My first ECM album was "Facing You" by Keith Jarrett.  I wore the grooves out on it. What do you think about ECM?

@roberjerman those were the days...I lived near the east village and used to love going to the used record stores down there.  I found some real gems.

Years ago, a lot of studios used to use Ampex 456 2 inch tape for the original recording process.  That was the standard for many years.

They would feed that into big Scully tape machines that would move the tape very fast.

The mix would go down to 1/2 inch masters.

I always thought that ECM stood for "Editions of Contemporary Music."  Anyone hear differently?
