Eagerly awaiting ...

Posted by: fred simon on 13 October 2002

How about a thread about upcoming releases that get one salivating? I'll start:

Keith Jarrett Trio - Always Let Me Go / Live in Tokyo

Rather than the standards they've been illuminating over the decades, like their previous and brilliant Inside Out, this one is also collective improvisation following no recipe.

Joni Mitchell - Travelogue

A companion to her previous Both Sides Now. Where that one was mostly standards, plus two of her own chestnuts, with orchestral accompaniment and guest soloists, the new one will be all Joni's songs, spanning most of her entire career, again featuring arrangements and orchestration by Vince Mendoza, and again with guest soloists Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock and others.

So much music, so little time ...

Porcupine Tree - Coma Divine (Extended edition) - I've had this on order from Freak for a month now, new ETA 20/11/2002. Trouble is, even then Mrs Seagull will beat me to the postman then hide it away for Xmas frown

The new Delgados album 'Hate' is out today. More deatils and preview tracks at http://www.mantrarecordings.com/delgados/

The new Sigur Ros album '()' is out on the 25th.

The fabulous new Low album "Trust" was out a couple of weeks ago. Lots of monumantal miserabilism ("My lungs are weak/From a childhood disease") but they actually rock out (relatively speaking) on one track. Their best since "Secret Name" I think.

I agree: Massive Attack. Can't wait.

I would have also added the New Order box set, Retro, but that's just come out..

Lou Reed's got a new LP out in Jan - guests include Bowie and Ornette Coleman. That should be a hoot.

A compilation I'm really looking forward to is Ike's Mood, The Instrumental Isaac Hayes. Speaks for itself really, but it's apparently coming out on vinyl too and contains lots of unreleased material! Relelased January.

Also: Jimi's Rainbow Bridge.

New Annie Lennox coming next year! Her Diva album is brilliant, one of my all-time favorites, and I dig Medusa a lot, too. The new one will have her own songs and, once again, I'm salivating.

Ben Harper Diamonds on the Inside

Probably a good deal rootsier than his latest studio album, Burn to Shine, which I thought was a bit disjointed and edgy. Due to be released March 11 and on order with A&B Sound. Strangely, the "High Fidelity"-style shop round the corner from where I live already has it, but I vowed to stay out of there because of the Jack Black impersonations, complete with unmotivated insults.

Afro Celt Sound System Seed

Probably won't be much different from their first three, but I've just got to have it. This is stuff to really show off the hifi and the boogie of your sistem.

Holger Czukay - The New Millenium LP - From the most satisfying ex-Can solo member.

Richard Kirk - Here & Elsewhere 12", (but £11.50! Ouch!)

Sigur Ros () - on vinyl after a very long wait.

Any other related info/sites also greatly recieved.

Cheers.

Not only is there no new Fred Simon album, but Naim have now stopped selling the anorak (see shop). Shame!

Steely Dan listing was from www.andymetzger.com.

Thanks Nick and Tom, I very much appreciate the sentiment.

But, in fact, it's not that the dog necessarily has good taste, it's that Dreamhouse tastes good.
