| The problem with the music There's no shortage of recordings that lost something (sometimes because of hacks and criminals) when they got made into mass produced lps or cds. Sometimes people can like the end result anyway, (i like the way some paintings look more in a book ... | |
| What is the one CD you can't find? Larry Coryell-Fairyland, i thought Philips briefly issued this one on cd, anyone know for sure? | |
| "It doesn't impress you at first..." Howie Thanks!!! Can't remember ANY post that hits it on the head like that one!! The value of the growth and learning process can't be overstated. | |
| Modern Fusion anyone? -YIKES!!!, The F- word rears its ugly head. Quite a bit of stale, predictable and uninspired poop finds a home under this umbrella. The only thing that alot of f----n artists create is a hair trigger gag reflex. Some of these fluff peddlers have d... | |
| Hendrix Voodoo Mootsdude, Agree that Hendrix was pretty much in a class by himself or at least in a class where role call didn't take very long. If you get a copy of Guru Guru's KanGuru record or cd and check out Immer Lustig (starting at about 5min. in, i think... | |
| Need post-y2k OUT jazz recommendations Hey Crazy,If memory serves, you're in the S.F. Bay area where there's no shortage of high quality boundry stretching musicians (Good For Cows, John Schott, Ben Goldberg, Fred Frith, ROVA, Telepathy, Married Couple, United Brassworks, Scott Hill...... | |
| Top Ten Speaker Cables of all time?... Mint, Wouldn't dare say that yer' potato has been bakin' too long, but i've had the unfortunate experience of hearing some pretty noticable differences in speaker cables. I hope you're on to something (i wanna set someone up w/ a good pair cheap).... | |
| Any other Pat Martino fans out there? Pat Martino played on tons of recordings, (haven't heard em all), but was a big fan in the 70's before he fell into a cheesy fusion rut, (his "East" record is excellent). So many fantastic guitarists have surfaced in the last 20-30 years that it's... | |
| Mapleshade records: Pick the best of As you probably suspect, a good rock fix is not really on the menu w/ these guys. Ended up ditching alot of Mapleshade discs, some of em' hit me as the most sappy, maudlin, cliche ridden stuff i'd ever heard. There may be some land mines waiting f... | |
| How is your many titles in your digital collection A little over 5k w/ 20 or so sacds, but most people would say they all suck and lots of goners can probably piss futher. | |
| best rock voices Edith Massey!!!. Fatparrot, yer just a sucker for a pretty face, you didn't even mention William Shatner. Hendrix, Damo Suzuki, Lee Ving, Lemmy, Roger Chapman (Family), Don Van Vliet, Lou Reed, Joey Ramone and Iggy Pop had their moments too. | |
| FABULOUS guitar wanking Haven't stuck on any Joe Stump for a few years, Guitar Dominance (93') is the earliest one i've heard. Think you'll agree that Night Of The Living Shred is recorded a little better and is also some seriously blistering poop, (a good recording is n... | |
| Jazz Recs for Classical Music Fan - Challenging There's a huge rich vein of great stuff out there that punches holes in the old category boundries. You're right to suspect that ECM is a good place to start, (Eberhard Weber "The Following Morning" or "Endless Days" are a couple of my favorites).... | |
| Soundtracks that ROCK Not exactly staples on the average audiophiliac menu... The use of Yes, ("Heart of the Sunrise") in Vincent Gallo's Buffalo 66 whomps pretty good. The Decline of Western Civilization I (Black Flag, Fear, Circle Jerks, Germs) is big on adrenaline. ... | |
| Can Rock-N-Roll have great sound quality? Maich is dead on... but IMO great recording quality is not always required to achieve lift off, anyway, other evil serious (and well recorded) brain bombs are available from: Dysrhythmia,(all three are good) Dr. Nerve (Skin) Trevor Dunn (Trio Conv... |
