What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report

Streaming my Brian Jonestown Massacre station from Pandora One

My sense is neither, they are both very different guitarists of exceptional talent and creative approach. Beck does not use a pick, Holdsworth does. Beck does not use legato as much Holdsworth does. Holdsworth often extends long runs while Beck usually jabs with short phrases.

ghost house: I just realized that one thing they might have in common musically is that they both often play with an inflection and a tonality suggestive of horn players.

Metal Fatigue is my favorite Holdsworth recording;
Blow By Blow is my favorite Beck recording

7 disc set on Decca: Solti conducts Bartok.

Jesu - Why Are We Not Perfect?

Hybrid - Wide Angle (GREAT ALBUM!)

I'll fall off my chair if any of you also has this one that I played earlier this evening:

Steve Tibbets - A Man About A Horse (ECM, 2002)

One I haven’t played in a very long time: Smiths - Meat Is Murder

When it got to How Soon Is Now? I stopped the CD, went over to my vintage 1965 Fender Deluxe Reverb, flipped on the power switch, tuned up the Fender Stratocaster, flipped the standby switch to on, tweaked the tremolo to a generous fast pulse at that song’s tempo and with a lot of reverb, and cranked that chord progression for half an hour.

So cool.

Truly a very well recorded and tasty cookie for your CDP/DAC: 

Bill Frissel, Dave Holland and Elvin Jones.
Elektra Nonesuch (2001)

Rocket From The Crypt - Circa Now!

@ghosthouse: I totally agree. Just figure, the very popular and talented lead singer, composer and musician leaves the band, and the remaining four decide to soldier on with the drummer/backup singer as lead. Sheer talent and determination produced one of the finest prog albums of the time.
I saw them for that tour at the Orpheum Theatre in Boston that summer. The ticket agency had double-printed our tickets and people were already sitting in our seats when we arrived, so management put us on a press bench at the foot and center of the stage. We listened to the stage monitors, which I'm sure sounded tons better than the main house system. Collins was two feet in front of me at times. Made eye contact with Bruford, Hackett, Banks and Rutherford too. And when both Collins and Bruford drummed together it was a powerhouse! Rutherford played his custom Shergold double neck rig. Hackett played his goldtop Les Paul. A night I will always remember.
