| Early 1970's rock: Name some of your favorites Hey Sean, Thanks for the info, I never knew that about Marc Bell. I remember he was kind of a studio player on a few now obscure rock lps I had. I liked the 2nd record (Hard Attack) alot more. The original issue had a killer reproduction of one of... | |
| Which artists do you just not get? Hi Sean, Hope the earlier post didn't come off as a rule 1 or 2 violator. Not really sure what vein of rock you've been hanging out in. Personally, I've never felt comfortable with labels like fusion, jazz or even rock. There's no denying that the... | |
| Which artists do you just not get? Alot of the stuff mentioned above is generic pedestrian and musically pretty dang predictable. Kinda boring or lame maybe, but not hard to "get" at all. The Mahavishnu Orch. at it's peak STOMPS!!! the vast majority of music (especially rock) in te... | |
| 5 best underrated or unknown bands and why? I love Ruins, they can be a tough listen at first (It sometimes seems like they're throwing away way too many good ideas per second). A few months after becoming acclimated, I got lucky and they came to the west coast. I had very high expectations... | |
| 5 best underrated or unknown bands and why? Hey Mike, Gotta agree w/ the Uz Jsme Doma pick. The 1st couple of times I caught them live I thought I was gonna forget how to breathe...totally astounding stuff. The 3rd time (Ears tour) was a dud. I heard the same assessment from a couple of oth... | |

| Thoughts on Coda gear? Any Coda owners out there? I haven't owned many amps, but the Coda 11 in the system I'm using now sounds better than previous systems I've used w/Perreaux and Bedini amps, (I really liked the 100/100 mk II). A close friend who is using a Levinson 27 expresses big appreciati... | |
| Todays Raido Stations suck I can't muster up any fond memories of radio stations from the past. Where I grew up the ones off campus always sucked. The whole thing was pretty much just a smaller version of the same malignant oligarchy that we're stuck with today. Unfortunate... | |
| Soundstaging and imaging are audiophile fictions. Sometimes at live performances non visual spatial information/"imaging" can be inescapbly apparent. Quite a few experimental/avant garde compositions rely heavily on this fact. Performers can move to different locations in a recital hall and great... | |
| I need a recording with a good drum solo . Jdombrow's question is an excellent one, trying to check out how close your gear can get to the real thing might have nothing to do with getting a dose of percussive genius stuck into yer' head. Here's a (criminally) short list that omits tons of ... | |
| Michael Hedges If memory serves, he rolled his car off an embankment while driving solo. Speculation was that he nodded off at the wheel. I read some gripes about the cavernous sound on his recordings. A great musician can make great music and interesting sounds... | |
| Some of my favorite songs are...... Hey Buscis, Uh, since you've gotten so many of us to participate in unnatural acts... I thought you liked being flogged, or better yet, flogged in a doghouse. Anyway, I don't have a doghouse (or a dog), but you're welcome to come by anytime and li... | |
| Who are the Jazz Cats on Audiogon? Trane, Monk, Miles, Morgan, Roach, Rollins, Mingus, Dolphy ... put out tons of great stuff. No way is the story over. Ken Vandermark, Tim Berne, Dave Douglas, Mario Pavone, Henry Threadgill, Nils Wogram, Jean Derome, Vinny Golia, Tomasz Stanko, Eb... | |
| Some of my favorite songs are...... Thirty years ago,(pre-hopeless case days) picking a few favorites would have probably been easy, so here's some pre 73' stuff:Instrumental:Walk Don't Run-The VenturesPali Gap-Jimi HendrixIn Memory Of Elizibeth Reed-Allman Bros.Pigling Bland-Soft M... | |
| Davis' "On the Corner" Hey Phase, Corner,"overshadowed by Bitches Brew for good reason"?Bitches Brew may have been a bigger leap from convention in 69, but On The Corner represents of alot of focused effort that took place during the 3 to 4 years that seperate the two r... |
