What are you listening to and WHY might anyone be interested? (VOL V)

Finally today will be this. Having a nearly teenage memory fest.

I'm in the mood for some lovely ECM this evening...

Which one is this? OK, you've changed the size - I can now see it. I have this version, released only in Japan on CD.

Father and son bonding time.

Happy birthday Oliver!

Adrian-I have the vinyl version and I love it.



I have mentioned before that I often enjoy an ECM album as much for the 'back up' performers as the main billing. A case in point is this wonderful album featuring Rainer Bruninghaus on piano.

Do you have Rainer's solo albums on ECM - well, well worth collecting.

Anyway, I am now playing this album - John Abercrombie Quartet - M. I am not sure whether there is more crackle coming from the album or my log fire. This has never been released on CD, so I picked up this autographed copy off the bay. A lovely album that needs a rerelease.

Not at the moment but I do intend to buy asap.

My guess is all of them!

When I first bought this album I thought Bley's playing to be 'bold'. Then I read a review somewhere that described his playing as 'subtly bold'. I prefer the latter description.

Quite a few Quick/rough count.

CD's - 985
LP's - 85
DVD's - 5
Books - 3

and lots of posters! And I still have probably 80 or so to track down.

Jerry Joseph, Bret Mosley, Steve Drizos "Charge"

So for post number 5,000 (on this id) I thought I should play a special album. Playing on my vinyl copy for the first time. Keith Jarrett - Koln Concert.

Cheers Gordon - bloody annoying that S,C&P - especially on a Paul Bley album

Re: Martha and the Muffins, is Jocelyne Lanois related to Daniel, to make an annoyingly good musical family?

Yep

The next project was their first album done in Canada. Forced by Virgin to record it on a budget, their new bassist Jocelyn Lanois talked the band into letting her brother Daniel produce it. Recorded at Toronto's famous Nimbus 9 Studios (home of, among others, Guess Who recordings) and Hamilton's Grant Avenue Studios, it possessed what would become Lanois' trademark production techniques.

THIS IS THE ICE AGE hit the stores before year's end and was quickly heralded as one of the most inventive and experimental albums of the new wave era. Gane handled the majority of the writing, and although the sense of humour was still preserved in the new record, it was almost bittersweet. "You Sold The Cottage" was seemingly the semi-sombre sequel to "Echo Beach". The two singles - "Women Around The World" and "Swimming" helped solidify the band as one of Canada's top new wave groups. But by year's end there were more personnel changes, with Haas leaving to pursue outside interests. Tim Gane also left, with Nick Kent picking up the drumsticks.

Note to self "Get more M & the M and DL discs".

Now off for some live music at Coolham.

DL discs are excellent - do you have any. I really like Acadie and Here is What is.
