| Favourite ECM Titles One of my most favorite labels:Arvo Part: Tabula Rasa, Arbos Steve Reich: Music for a large ensemble, Music for 18 musicians Colin Walcott: Cloud dance Jack DeJonette: Special edition (the first one only) | |
| Vibraphone recommendations? I second Bobby Hutcherson. The 'Live at Newport' album from 1965 with Archie Shepp is astounding. | |
| Any U2 Fans Here? Well Mapman, I hope one day that that I can vote Jeanine Garafolo out of celebrityhood! | |
| Any U2 Fans Here? Audiofeil: Barbra Streisand, Alec Baldwin, Bon Jovi, Jeanine Garafolo and many more are all in the same pathetic boat. However Bono bothers me more simply because for some reason I see his mug more than the others. This is an unfortunate byproduct... | |
| Any U2 Fans Here? Yes, I do absolutely commend him for his charity, but that is hardly the point. He presents himself as a politically important figure...and he is a damn rock star! It is jaw-droppingly pretentious. Just because he has money and fame and he does go... | |
| Neil Young remasters What do you expect? Bright and forward is what's happening in popular music, and even to an extent in Jazz and Classical. People listen to Ipods. No one cares except us! | |

| smokin' recommendation: Evan Parker's "TIME LAPSE" I have many of EP's other works, and I might be inclined to agree with some of the criticisms here in relation to most of them. Time Lapse is different. First of all, it is a highly overdubbed album with many varied textures and complex sonic fiel... | |
| Dylan live now Dylan has been in/out of his game ever since he began. That's part of the mystique; you never know how or what he will do next. Even in a single performance he can turn on you, and plunge into the unexpected This is not news though.... | |
| any new Beatle fans because of the remasters? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J65HA5D1SGA | |
| any new Beatle fans because of the remasters? When I was about 9 I used to run home from the schoolbus every day to play my copy of Savoy Brown's "Street Corner Talkin'". I played it so many times on my cheapo Laffayette compact stereo that I wore it out almost completely. I still love that a... |
