Doofy - yes, they pulled me back in. I'd been away for 2 to 3 months, and the number of albums I wanted had increased to make it worthwhile for a short time. I had to decide to remain or leave after three months so decided to give it another go, but I will go back on hold again in a couple of months when I have caught up my backlog. In particular there are three or four English/British folk albums I want that cost three times more on Amazon, so it was really on cost alone.
I must get into South American music more as we have just booked our first big retirement trip for early next summer to Brazil, Argentina and Peru. Other than the obvious like this, suggestions of where to start are welcome, particularly anything contemporary.
PS - the second big retirement trip will be California, hopefully in 2015 now to commemorate my 65th birthday
I just bought the first five remastered on CD from Amazon with autorip for a dollar less than the mp3's alone. I save a bit of money and get instant satisfaction.
Glad you're still enjoying that "Seven Miles East" album. I notice it gets mentioned in this thread from time to time. I know the artists would appreciate knowing that their music really connected with you. I remember corresponding with them back in the day, both for my review and for the AAJ dotd, and they were nice guys.
Adam Cuthbert as KuuMA / Bandcamp rhythm without calculation.
momentum without destination.
whim without preconception.
emotion without analysis.
landscape without what?
nature can be synthesized.
seamless stream from the soul to the software.

Well, i started off with the two movements from
and I'd have to say that the second one out did the first by a hair........ i really like birds. A little more garden friendly and worthy of 5 stars.
pps, here's a few of those tracks that made my ears perk up!
Jaap Blonk - Not On Vinyl Yet - Yapp Yapp
My Daddy Was A Rocknroller
Pimmon - The Oansome Orbit - Düülbludgers
Etching An Entrance
Six Organs Of Admittance - The Manifestation - The Six Stations
Cascoplecia
Richard H. Kirk - Earlier / Later - Never Lose Your Shadow (12 Mix)
This transported me back to the 80's and the first time I heard Just Fascination off The Crackdown
Part Two
So Comes the Day
The End (had to play it twice, as on looking back i saw it didn't register after Cakedog)
Peter Case...... one of my favourites.....5 star
-my apologies for shouting them at you tonight, feeling a bit lazy. Darn these
shorter days. Here's the last thing I heard tonight...
Following up references in Gary Giddins, Visions of Jazz (unfortunately this is evidence only of having read chapter 1).
Two and a half hours, 50 tracks, $6.49 at emusic for those flush with booster packs. Currently trying it out on spotify...sound issues on some tracks (clicking). Some lovely tracks though.
ETA, some great blues numbers towards the end of the list. Going to have to get this. Thank you Gary Giddins and emu booster sale.
ETA, there's some retagging work to get the various artist combinations right on individual tracks.
ETA3, tracks 28-31 are defective. Some clicking on tracks 35-36. The rest are fine.
@Greg - I presume you're still on a per track basis at eMu over there? Vis-a-vis the Latin/South American thing there are some comps at eMu but they would probably not be good price wise for you with too many tracks, some also may have gone up from a single album price since I got them. Let me know. If you browse the Box Set thread and the 7digital thread(esp. page 4/5) there are some Latin boxes that would be a better deal, not so much contemporary material though. BTW - that Cachao album BT posted right above your post, although Cuban, is a must have for any Latin collection.
Our Small Ideas by The Boats. An older, very limited release (initial 2008 release was 100 copies), re-released digitally in 2012 by Flau, this has shown up on emusic. Having gone through a lean spell with the SFL I'm finding quite a few things I'd like right now.

Interesting - thanks, PaulR.

Run DMT - Bong Voyage

Adam Cuthbert - "Dream World EP"
As soon as I clear out some space on my hard drive, I'm picking this one up. Want to take advantage of the better file types on Bandcamp for this one.
I'll have to check which ones, but Cuthbert appears on one or two (or more) recent jazz releases of note.

Liking very much.
