I am in love with Nils Frahm's music at the moment. But this album cover almost put me off buying this one. Ugh.
Seriously, would you have guessed an album of delicate little solo piano meditations from that picture? I think I might have to change it to something else and pretend my choice was the original cover art. My vote for worst recent album cover (non-metal genres).
This is free at Noisetrade. It's billed acoustic folk rock or some such, but it's about thisclose to being a country album. Witty songs, big voice that reminds me of someone I can't quite put my finger on.
amclark, that looks awesome. There is so much Mingus out there, and you get to thinking you have all you could ever need, and then you see another one...
Meanwhile...finally completed this one at eMu, years after DL'ing a track reccomended (I think by Karg) on one of the good old rec threads:
eta: You can get the 22-min 'A Night in Tunisia' for 0.99 at Amazon.
It is awesome; but I think this one is even better. I'm actually listening to the Passions of a Man box set, which I had the good fortune to get for the price of one disk, thanks to emusers.
Love MOPTK. I got to see them in concert once; it was fantastic.

Rather nice. Post-Rock.
@Denver: it's a intriguing album. Worth a listen. His stuff is on Spotify.
Moody Electronic EP on Rural Colours. Free.

- An example of a well chosen cover . . .

Listening to this while I watch Galactica with the captions on. Beautiful guitar work.

A day I remember well...indeed, it was because I already had much of the Mingus that I went for Ornette instead.
More old jazz...
I think I got there too late for the Ornette set.
