Adrian,

You recommended that disc to me two years ago and JPC tried for four months and failed to get it for me.


Haim - German is not a skill I have, but it looks to me like there are a few copies going on amazon.de

Listened to and watched this last night. Why? simple really, some great music (and some crap frakly - I never could stand Johnny Winter for example!) and bags of nostalgia.

Cheers

Jim

Love both the doors discs. But since I like Morrison better as an album I plump for that one. But they are both excellent sounding discs just a shame about the "boob" in the manufatcure of the Morrison disc.

Sidsel Endresen
Norwegian vocalist Sidsel Endresen (who sings in English) is one of those 1990s artists who demonstrates the increasing difficulty in applying traditional 20th-century categorizations to many contemporary music albums. Although the singer/songwriter works with some notable jazz musicians, her records aren't really jazz; although they have plenty of experimental elements, they are firmly grounded in songs, and are more accessible than much "new music." Her pieces also betray the influence of some rock and folk (her voice is very reminiscent of Sandy Denny's), but bear even less concrete relationships to those forms.

Endresen has recorded a couple albums for ECM that bear some hallmarks of the label's trademark spacious production values, but avoid sterility. Her abstract lyrics are backed by jazzy minimalist strokes that occasionally skate into dissonance. Drummer Jon Christensen and cellist David Darling are the most recognizable of the musicians on these discs, which have a broader appeal than the traditional ECM listening base. ~ Richie Unterberger, All Music Guid

IMHO (in musical terms) there is a tangible and symbiotic interbreeding between the monolithic minimalism of world music, the simplistic stoicism of jazz, the pliable precision of classical and the seductive brutalism of trance/house.

Just my opinion!
