| What early 70's rock bands had violins? Hey Cwlondon, Gentle Giant was definitely on the brainfry poop menu. Really dug that Playing that Fool record. It's not the greatest recording and it looks like the One Way Label did its usual piss poor job of putting an analog recording on those ... | |
| What early 70's rock bands had violins? Some pretty brain fry poop (violin isn't exactly a staple of generic rock) came out in the early 70's that might stretch alot of people's definition of rock to a breaking point. Haven't seen these listed yet:-PFM, "Per Un Amico" might be a good st... | |
| Bryston 3bsst Vs. Coda 11 Haven't heard the 3b st, but the 3b didn't give the Bedini 100/100 mk2 much competition so i got the Bedini. A few years later, the Coda 11 was an easy choice over the Bedini. The Coda is a pure class A design. I think the 3b st is an AB. This mig... | |
| Does Your System Sound Like the Real Thing? Some live performances sound pretty bad... some recordings have excellent sound. In a very good large hall if you're 100' away from the musicians you'll miss alot of nuances that are easily picked up in a good nearfield playback environment. I pro... | |
| Anyone ever hear of Tomasz Stanko Quartet? Jazz Haven't heard half the discs he's put out (more than 20), but really like the ones i've got. All the ECM releases sound great, it's kind of hard to find a bad record w/Jon Christensen, Anders Jormin, Bobo Stenson, Terje Rypdal, Edward Vesala or To... | |
| R.I.P Elvin Jones Heard it was coming, but hoped he'd get his health back. Last year at Yoshi's (in April 03'at 76) he and his band left everyone there w/a big grin and an unforgettable musical experience. Going in i thought he would be a shell of his former self. ... | |
| Whatever happened to...? The best PFM is kind of similar to Bella Band. The latter is all instrumental and maybe a bit more of a scorching jazzrock unit. PFM is still around and playing regularly in Europe, not sure how many original members are in the current line up, an... | |
| Whatever happened to...? Stevecham, kind of doubt there's a connection. Bella Band were an Italian Band who put out only one record (of scorching instrumental jazz rock) on the Cramps label. Right up there w/ the best Mahavishnu, Soft Machine, Embryo or Arti + Mestieri. | |
| Searching for Fender Rhodes in Jazz or Fusion Really like Zawinul w/ Adderly too. Ahmad Jamal Outertime Innerspace is great, same goes for most of George Duke's early 70's stuff on MPS. The work he did w/ Zappa (Grand Wazoo, Blessed Relief for one) is cool too. The Mwandishi, Herbie Hancock (... | |
| Whatever happened to...? This is probably a dead end (hope i'm wrong) the guys in:Good GodKollektivA.F.T. (Automatic Fine Tuning)Bella BandHigh Fidelity OrchestraBondage Fruit and Houschang Nejadepour (guitarist for Guru Guru) | |
| Srangest ,most out there sounding music Have to agree w/ Photon46 alot of music that initially seems totally alien, disjionted or unfathomable can later seem perfectly logical - like just plain good or great music, (Varese, Ruins, Beefheart, Univers Zero, Area, Morton Subotnick). Can't ... | |
| Full sounding Bookshelf speakers music only There's a pair of Hales Rev. 1 speakers posted here for $450 that might be tough to beat in that price range. Goatwuss gets my vote for coolest weirdo username (wish i woulda thought of that one). | |
| Who Was Your Favorite One Hit Wonder Reading these entries makes choosing one or two faves impossible (GREAT CHOICES!!!)... i like Little Green Bag by The George Baker Selection (Tarentino uses this one at the beginning of Resrevoir Dogs) and Yellow Pills by 20/20. | |
| thoughts on frank zappa FZ worked like a maniac ... never stopped, and was a really absorbent guy. He used the stuff that surrounded him and the personalities and musical gifts of countless band members to make great records. He was probably too smart (and busy) to ever ... | |
| What ever happened to John Klemmer? ...Wondered about that too. In the mid 70's i got a copy of Eruptions and it blew my head off at a time when i was on a steady diet of early John Mcluaghlin, Sonny Sharrock, Larry Coryell, Association P.C. and King Crimson (Larks Tongues). Eruptio... |
