Kantner, Slick - Sunfighter
Great record. I picked up a pair of Altec Bolero 809c a couple of years ago, and .... this was among the first things I listened to. I knew the Boleros were something special when "Diana" track 2, side 1 came on. No mistaking the LF coming out of those "bookshelf" speakers.
Oh yeah. and 10 years later Kantner assembles a contingent for another run... Planet Earth Rock And Roll Orchestra, 1983, RCA.

todays aural breakfast is an ironic, iconic and philharmonic journey through the most refreshing musical ideas of the last century (what a phony write up i got in again)
jim hall: textures

its easy to listen to orchestrated jazz, not demanding at all, BUT very rewarding when payed close attention. perfect! highly recommended
i love this record. generating a unique energy, i can only grasp as "metropolis electric night fever". dont ask me why. a friend of mine said that he empathizes the pressure on the musicians put out by miles davis, the stress they feel.
actually very much the opposite of the jim hall album above. very demanding! it was my soundtrack when driving to get my 2360s...
have a nice sunday--

The Who - Meaty Beaty Big And Bouncy
(1971, Decca)
A copy from a collection I picked up a couple of years ago, had been in a basement, mold got the cover & label
but the vinyl cleaned up very nicely. The poster is long gone.
I'll have to look for this one. I like all the Jim Hall I've heard, great jazz guitar.

yes, I listened today...he is quite the player....thot I heard some Jimmy Page riffs mixed in there....3 tracks on side2 are unusable (some gunk on there) but everything else OK.
AFAIR : Kottke was the first CD I ever heard....it was on the car radio and the lack of pops and crackles was so incredible, that I pulled the car over to finish the cut...
I want to say "Mudlark" , but not sure...

last night I read : The Beatles US LPs: Where They Came From & How They Charted
http://www.amazon.com/Beatles-US-LPs...3869381&sr=8-1

lots of interesting facts in there..lot of fun ...Capitol sure did not realize the goldmine that they were sitting on ...and botching.
TRIVIA QUESTION #1
In 1964 the Beatles released 4 albums. In 1965 they were nominated for 10 Grammys based on the '64 work.....how many did they win (and in what categories - if you know) ?????

I second Leo Kottke's godlike status in the acoustic music world. He plays differently than in his early days because he had to overcome a physical breakdown of his tendons in his right hand. Continued music making necessitated a change of playing style.
Another keeper in that vinyl buy is Ian & Sylvia. There is no more legendary figure in Canadian folk, country and beyond than Ian Tyson. Sylvia Fricker was his partner and equal. Both still perform. I met them once and they are really down to Earth. Good thing, or being in the presence of such unbelievable talent would have given me the shakes. Damned if he didn't think enough of me to ask me to be his roadie. Because of that I cannot honestly say that I regret nothing.

Live at the Old Quarter, Houston, Texas Vinyl on Tomato TOM-2-7001 highly recommended 1977 if you like this sort of music...
hello!
i listened to miles davis' "AURA" the first time last week, and a couple of times since then. it features robopercussion, mclaughlin razorsharp and miles appears (as always) simply haunting. with orchestra, that playes in a "contemporary classical" direction.
it scares me, but im fascinated. anyone know it? care to share a thought?
best,
mikey
ps: back cover attached
cheers,
