Adrian,

What do you make of this?

Haim - I have heard brief bits of it on JPC so far. My copy should arrive next week. Will let you know my thoughts.

Adrian,

I am shocked to learn that I am in posession of an ECM which you don't have. I hope that Eicher does not hear about it..

Good idea - a complaint to Eicher. When I was in Oz, as far away from Munich as I could get, I seemed to get the new releases before Europe. Now I am back in the UK, I am behind the game as the local UK distributor went out of business.

Gradually catching up now.

Late find (already from 1982), but great, nevertheless:

As recommended by two citizens of world jazz - Muthspiel and Droodzilla

I've had a Tull itch all day, and upon getting home Dun Ringill was the scratch.

Nigel - glad you found this CD - thanks. This is really very good. Just the kind of piano jazz trio I find really interesting. European, adventurous, tuneful - perhaps a cross between E.S.T and Wolfert Brederode.

wow, what a great atmosphere in this recording. the old man manages to capture both with his comments between the songs and teh music. Oh, and Huw - how right: convenient to play this from HD instead of goign through the inconvenience of flipping discs, in the middle...

cheers
Stefan

On ECM - Till Fellner and some Bach

Glad you like it Adrian. It's one of my best finds of the year so far, and I've already played it several times since I bought it at the weekend.

Right now, this classic:



Dreaming of the Flatcap 2x I'm hoping to receive tomorrow...

Nigel

WHY? because they make magical, floaty, tuneful, uplifting, fluid sounds that take you away from this world and relieve you of your troubles, sweet.







Dean...

Because I agree with Dean...proper music

OK - I'll join in

I know that there are quite a few fans of bands like Mogwai, Explosions in The Sky, Godspeed You Black Emperor etc.

An Emerald City are from New Zealand and they have just released their debut album, "Circa Scaria". The album was recorded live over two days in a cave. Think of it as Mogwai with Middle Eastern elements. Definitely worth investigating if you like the aforementioned bands.

King Size,

I like all these bands, so I listened to some samples: indeed this music suits me.
Thanks for your suggestion. I'll try to buy this album.

Andy Sheppard - Movements in Colour

Not through my first listen, yet, but - I mean - you can judge when you hear something magnificent, can't you ?

This is one of the most promising releases of the last few months.

cheers
Stefan

Paul re: An Emerald City they sound really good, judging by their 4 tk EP, a bit like Loreena Mckennitt's backing band, a blend of eastern, folk and rock.
Any idea who is selling this (Circa Scaria)?

Bonnie Raitt - Souls Alike
