what was the last cd you bought?

'Beastie Boys - To The 5 Boroughs'.

'Snow Patrol - When it's all over we still have to clear up'. This didn't grab me as quickly as 'Songs for Polarbears' on first play but it's growing on me now at a fair rate. Great stuff.

Steve

Alice Coltrane - Translinear light (wow !)
Harry Belafonte + Miriam Makeba - An evening with... (1965, nice.)

Best regards, freundliche Grüße

Stefan

Joe Lovano, Dave Holland, Elvin Jones - trio fascination (wow!)

Best regards, freundliche Grüße

Derek Bailey/John Zorn/William Parker, Harras. Bailey and Zorn have some brilliant exchanges on this, Bailey is on particularly good, at times ferocious, form. All the while Parker keeps the heartbeat going. Really excellent free improv, easy to recommend. Beautifully packaged too, lovely Ikue Mori cover art.

My first post on the forum.

Bought Abattoir Blues and The Lyre of Orpheus by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds last week. Recommended.

Bought the remastered CD version of one of my fave albums, Steely Dan - Gaucho. I cannot believe just how different it sounds to my original release CD - there is so much more to listen to

Also bought

Madeleine Peyroux - Careless Love - this is very good

Charlie Haden, Joe Henderson, Al Foster - The Montreal Tapes

Herbie Hancock - Head Hunters

Herbie Hancock - Future Shock

Gerard Masters Trio - Island Life (Aussie Jazz)

And of course I ordered a copy of Fred Simon - Remember the River ...

Adrian,

Is this a recomendation for M. Peyroux ? (On my list, but dunno...)

Gianluigi Trovesi - Dedalo (Heavenly !)
Jon Balke - Kyanos
Gerardo Nunez - Andando El Tiempo (Perfect recording, very involving, musically)

Looks like the ACT label will be a clear ECM challenger for me...

Best regards, freundliche Grüße

Stefan

Bought "Small Planes" by Innocence Mission. It's a collection of outtakes and b-sides from 1996-2001. Don't let that put you off, though - it works really well as an album. Some beautiful moments here. I'm a long-time fan. If you are new to them, try "Glow", "Umbrella", or this one.

Any fans of The Sundays, Over The Rhine, even 10,000 Maniacs, would likely appreciate this band.

Stefan - yes I do recommend the Madeleine Peyroux. I am now going to go out and buy her first cd as well.

Cheers
Adrian

Miles Davis- Bitches Brew
Miles Davis- In A Silent Way
Miles Davis- Workin (w/ the Miles Davis Quintet)
Miles Davis- Cookin (w/ the Miles Davis Quintet)
Cannonball Adderley- Somethin Else
John Coltrane- Blue Train
John Coltrane Quartet- Ballads

This is genius stuff. Totally new territory for me. My new love affair.

Oops one more-

Built to Spill- Ancient Melodies of the Future

(AlexG, get to know this band.)

Ludders - nice tip. I'll add it to my next order.

If you like those Miles Davis/Coltrane etc, you might want to look into early Herbie Hancock (Empyrean Isles, Maiden Voyage) and also Sonny Clark's Cool Struttin'. I am very much a novice in this area, but I think these are really nice.

My new ones, courtesy of the splendid Farfield Records in Brighton:

Hong Kong Dub Station - Celestial
Igneous Flame - Talmon
Igneous Flame - Oxana
Budd/Garcia/Lentz - Music for 3 pianos
Budd - Luxa
Abstract Air - Mark G E and Jim Skeel
HIA/Biosphere - Polar Sequences
Farfield V/A - Showreel
Kelvin Smith - Reclining Music
Amir Baghiri - Lucid Circles
Basque - Falling Forwards.

Ambient Alex

PS - reports to follow, but they are all really ambient, so I may be too blissed out to type.

Welcome!

Try Coltrane's Giant Steps, Crescent, and A Love Supreme. You could find they change your life completely (no exaggeration, when I first discovered Trane about 15 years ago I listened to almost nothing else for a year, and had bought every single recording I could find within a matter of weeks. There's something fundamental and true going on there.)

-- Ian

Madeleine Peyroux - Careless Love (good)
Oregon - In Moscow

Best regards, freundliche Grüße

Pat Metheny - Selected Recordings

Stan Getz - Anniversary

Stan Getz - Serenity

Charles Lloyd/Billy Higgins - Which Way Is East

Herbie Hancock - Gershwin's World (Great Joni Mitchell vocals)

Cheers

Let me know if the Oregon Moscow CD is a good recommendation. I eyed it up in the CD store last week and will buy if you think is good.

Thanks

Alex,

On Built to Spill, start with "Perfect From Now On" (walls of guitar noise) and "Keep It Like A Secret" (more poppy). And see them live if ever possible- their shows are something special.

Ian and Alex,

You know, I had "Kind of Blue" and "Love Supreme" collecting dust for at least the past five years. A few jazz threads inspired me to dig them out one night and I was blown away. I immediately had to buy a few fistfulls more!

Thanks for the additional recs.

Picked up this morning at the local Second Spin during the 20% off sale:

- Finisterre / Saint Etienne
- Six Degrees / Bebel Gilberto
- Idiology / Mouse on Mars
- Cydonia / Orb

Adrian,
you're asking the wrong person, because I love Moore and Oregon, but:
Moscow is special because of the orchestra combination. I don't like all I hear (sometimes too sweet, too much usage of the orchestra), but overall I must say: Another must-have for Oregon lovers, especially when reduction rules. Doubtlessly, the recording is brilliant. It's not in the notes, but this is one of the rare hdcd transfers that our beloved CDX2 and CDS3 just love to eat.

Another hint for you, because you have bought the Hahn concertos: Buy the Solo partitas if you haven't already. Hilary will glue you into your seat (if the Australian heat hasn't already done so...). Hardly EVER heard the "Ciaconna" more involving ! And she makes her instrument SHINE !

Happy to receive feedback...

Best regards, freundliche Grüße

Stefan

HI,
A couple of Hed Kandy compilations through my door:
Winter Chill 6.03 - very good double CD of chill out grooves - almost like a sampler.
Disco Kandy 05-04 - this CD was worth it for Inaya Day - Nasty Girl.

Any one into the lighter side of dance should try the Disco Kandy series - the production is 1st rate and there are no fillers IMO.

Ed Rush & Optical - Out of the Box
