    - Maxwells was the support band at the very first Mothers Of Invention concert in Copenhagen in 1968.
    - Almost needless to say, I was there ! - and had a life changing experience . . .

    Released today, at the moment only available to stream on Bandcamp. I'm assuming it will be on sale later today. Collection from some of her earlier albums, some of which I've already got.
  • I've been creating a playing for my granddaughter to take into school as she is doing an 'Amazing Africa' topic. The trouble is my playlist is already too much for one CD and I haven't finished! But it is great listening to the music
  • BvDub- A History of Distance

    I was told by E music that this would not be available in the UK, popped up today, purchased before its gone.
  • Grateful Dead - 1977-11-04. Audience recording from Internet Archive. I'm awfully tempted by the Dave's Pick series, but there's just so many good aud's for free!

    Checking out . . . Because of the rather strange bandname:

  • I looked again and that Dead show, here, turns out to be the rare downloadable soundboard recording, which is even weirder considering they just released it as Dave's Picks 12. Also has a 12-12-1973 sound check tagged onto the end.

    Now:

    Italians Do It Better - After Dark 1 (mixed into 1 track; remastered; from their soundcloud.)

    I'm curious - is anyone here a Thelonious Monk afficionado? I've been reading his bio with deep interest and am trying to figure out where my music buying should go from here. I have the Prestige box set and the Columbia box set. I have individual copies of Brilliant Corners and Monk's Music, as well as some of his solo piano albums (San Francisco, Paris), two albums with Coltrane, the Ellington album, the live at the 5 spot 1958 double album, and maybe a couple more random things.

    Thing is, I like it all, but I am not sure how committed I am to owning a dozen versions of each song he wrote - and given his tendency to play the same smallish collection of songs repeatedly his entire career and the mass of releases out there I am verging into that territory. Yet reviews tend to say the Riverside box is essential. And I guess I do want the best version of the best songs :-). There are a LOT of albums online from various live dates and various dodgy looking labels. What should I absolutely not miss that is not on the above list? Do I need the Riverside box?

    Reposting from The Test Tube thread:

    ETA:
    "Sparse bass, delay, delay, delay, delay, delay, delay, gentle crackle...
    The crackle present on our recordings is due, in the main, to the use of various analogue delay pedals, old basses, our broken four-track cassette tape recorder and most notably our incompetence.
    All of our recordings are designed for listening through headphones while gazing at the stars..."

  • I'm listening to Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko (way to go European Space Agency!). You can too, here.

  • Japanese Breakfast - American Sound

    NYOP at bandcamp; I really like this.

    I don't know about the Riverside box GP; it seems like it has a lot of extra takes; I've usually gone after the Riverside albums individually. I love the Five Spot recordings with Johnny Griffin; those are also available on In Action and Misterioso; I've always been confused about the overlap between the three different records though. It looks like one hole you might have is the early, Blue Note stuff.
  • Thanks, that's helpful. Yes, I am thin on the early material. Is it early as in "here's the prototype but he really figured it out later" or as in "here's the real first energy that got diluted later"?

    Doublends Vert - Cistern
    (so called because performed in a cistern)
    (I have another album somewhere that was recorded in a cistern. I wonder if it was the same cistern?)
  • Early as in "really different, but really good". Much shorter songs, with more players, recorded for 45's, but worth hearing. I think the whole Blue Note years fits on two disks.
  • Strange Mountain - Ancient Eyes

    Clark - s/t

    Electronic beats. It's pretty good.
