Great album
Hi Matt,
for me it's the mixture of punk, rock, reggae, great band, great performance, lyrics and fealing of the time, great recording, production., sound quality....I rate every track...play it loud if you can.

Definitely one of the best. Playing loud isn't a problem today. I am playing hooky this afternoon to celebrate our first day over 50F since December. About damn time.

Never a dull moment, we'll know super album. I guess a lot of us have it in the collection....
Love this track #1.
Was around 1987 one of the first recordings I have heared with a appropriate hifi equipment.

Was a long time from his recording before and I'm a little bit disapponted.
It very "dark" isn't it?
Great album
+1
op.1
Klemperer/New Philharmonia Bruckner 8. 1970 Recording.
Great dynamic contrast, Klemper is going for the max effect. Gorgeous harmony surprising for the composer. Klemperer renders it with full glory but with a dash of light hearted attitude making sure the tunes do not get carried away in sugar. Instruments are well delinated making easier to follow. Slowish story telling but it has a *breathing* tempo. Adagio is Lavish in texture with lush strings with a hint of melancholia a la Tristan und Isolde. The progression is somewhat resembling 9th slow movement.
Bruckner was creepy looking but he did write some interesting powerful music.
Changeless - Keith Jarrett/Gary Peacock/Jack DeJohnette
"One of only a handful of Keith Jarrett "Standards" Trio records without a standard within earshot, this is a triumph, for Jarrett has successfully brought the organically evolving patterns of his solo concerts into the group format. Each of the first three selections is built upon a constant revolving ostinato, and each evolves from one stage to the next like a Jarrett solo piano improvisation. "Dancing" has a swaying Latin beat in the percussion and bass; "Endless" is full of lyrical invention at a slower tempo; "Lifeline" is catchy and hypnotic; and the fourth number, "Ecstasy," grows out of "Lifeline," closing the album perhaps inevitably with a drawn-out, peaceful piano tremolo. Bassist Gary Peacock and drummer Jack DeJohnette are clearly listening hard, going with the flow". AllMusic.com
Release Date July 17, 1992
On CD:-
During workout. Great album, but it's the type of music I can't listen to for hours.
Listening this during breakfast. The balance between orchestra and piano seems to be sometimes a bit odd. But a nice concerto which I wasn't familiar with so far.
"Vilde picked up the instrument apprehensively, wondering what she was supposed to do with it."

And when one listens - she had prior knowledge....
A fine trio album, in the typical tradition...
First play after yesterday's arrival. Nice.
