| Who's better? Jean-Luc Ponty or Eileen Ivers Didier Lockwood has put out some timeless groundbreaking stuff. New World, Surya, and the Lockwood/Vander/Top/Widemann record are brilliant. I'm a huge fan, but Kid, 1234, Pheonix 90, and the DLG 96 releases are corny, rife w/ metronomic disco bea... | |
| Who's better? Jean-Luc Ponty or Eileen Ivers Ponty's output has been huge (in quality and quantity). The MPS records before Zappa, the Zappa period, the work with McLaughlin and the first few solo discs that followed brought him alot of well deserved acclaim. Then his records started becomin... | |
| No good new music? Hey Phase, haven't heard Philadelphia Experiment yet, noticed that their 1st disc has Uri Caine, Christian McBride and Pat Martino on it. Sometimes I'm kind of leery of discs that use alot of samples, but can't deny that there are a lot of great o... | |
| Mark Levinson 27 Clipping Thanks for responding (this site is #$@*&+ great). A rep from Audio Consultants in Evanston IL emailed me w/ the following,"The 27 has a soft clipping circuit and other protection circuitry, so there is no danger here". I suppose the speakers ... | |
| No good new music? MONKS?...Doesn't ring a bell, but I'll be on the lookout for em' now. Yup, Ege Bamyasi (a true stoner) is the record w/ the can of okra on the cover, Suzuki is on that one. Mooney came back and did the vocals on their last (and sonically most pris... | |
| No good new music? Hey Phasecorrect, Does Mooney Suzuki have a Can connection that you know of?Malcom Mooney was the first Can vocalist and Damo Suzuki was their second. It seems unlikely that pure coincicence is at work here. On Can's Ege Bamyasi there is a lyric f... | |
| No good new music? Fortunately, there is no record of how many recordings I spend (my very) limited disposable income on. Here are some recent scores that I like:Alamaailman Vasarat, VasaraasiaOther Quartet, Sound StainsTony Oxley, Floating PhantomsLa Perra, Friccio... | |
| Rare Music? The Zappa, Does Humor Belong in Music (though real spiff) isn't all that rare. F.Z's Them or Us also has a version of Whipping Post on it, but Dweezil only solos on the live one. Make a Jazz Noise Here, Roxy and Elsewhere, Ahead of Their Time and ... | |
| JM REYNAUD OFFRANDE Opinions Please Hi, Picked up a pair of Offrande speakers about a month ago. They are replacing an old pair of Spendor Sp1's that I sold for $500. The Offrande has better imaging, but it does not trounce the Sp1. I'm pretty sure these speakers are post 2000 vinta... | |
| the Listening Room -Dedicated room, all 2 channel-Would like to get thorough analysis of room acoustics and see some component placement recommendations.-Would have a hard time getting the wife to allow door, window, or wall rebuilding. -Visual asthetics be damned, ... | |
| Any others like L. Kottke Clone CD? Haven't picked up Clone yet, Kottke's One Guitar No Vocals is one of his best. Sylvain Luc's SUD discs, Jack West's Big Ideas, or Richard Johnson's Creatures of Habit (this one may be hard to find) are musically superb and are great recordings too. | |
| Best blues guitarist, Clapton or Green Not sure Blues music has (or should have) real stictly defined boundries. To claim that one guitarist is the BEST could put some heavy blinders on the concluder. A few other greats that I haven't seen mention of: Eddie Guitar Slim, SRV and Zappa w... | |
| Going SACD or analog? Bomarc makes alot of sense, but pragmatism is not always a strong suit around these parts. If it's any consolation, there are hundreds of cd tiles on ECM, CMP, Tzadik, Intuition, Hat, Enja and other labels that sound better than most SACD releases... | |
| What music is not derivative? It could be argued that there is no such thing as music that is not derivative. I guess Derek Bailey, Edgar Varese, and most Anthony Braxton recordings might come close. Not sure you would want to listen to them much. Alot of great stuff is challe... | |
| little known musicians we should hear There are thousands of little known musicians who have made brilliant recordings and are (imho) criminally under appreciated. Almost everyone hates some great artistic achievments,(most oprea or c&w efforts usually hit the gag reflex here). Fe... |
