The KREation Ensemble is lead by saxophonist/composer
Kevin Robinson. "Circle Spins To Become A Sphere" is a collection
of themed sonic meditations, compositions and improvisations
performed by the seven piece ensemble.
This project marks the second in a focused series of recordings
that explore concepts of circular motion and elastic symmetry.
The compositions are based upon expanding and contracting
intervallic motifs with an intent to reflect a lucid view of existence.
-Been a while since I listened to this one. I recall being pretty underwhelmed by it back in the day, and eventually gave up listening to it. Kind of curious how it'll strike me now.

With such a wonderful Jim Woodring cover great music would be just the icing on the cake.
[ Later - Listening on the *plz don't kill me* hated Spotify reveals that it's a great after work chill album - meticulous playing - but it isn't going to disturb Grandma's afternoon nap. Mind you I do melt a little when I hear a good version of Moon River - softy that I am. For other Brits here - this is a very "N-I-C-E" Jazz Club album.]
Well, my favourite Peter in my collection. 2nd most plays just behind Johnny Dowd at 1103 according to lastfm. (mind you, as far as stats go, I can't tell you how many times I've forgotten to Enable Scrobbling again after sampling something) Peter Case
The Nerves - Peter Case, Jack Lee & Paul Collins. Great Power Pop! Compilation released in 2008 -tracks from their EP, demos, other studio tracks, some not the best quality live tracks & 1 track each from The Plimsouls, The Breakaways & The Jack Lee Band.
One of my favorites from last year - Kind of surprised it didn't get any attention in year-end lists.
Great A-team of Chicago jazz talent...Always a lot of excitement with Dana Hall at the drum set
@Doofy - Totally agree regarding Birdhoused! To add insult to injury, the metadata on eMusic is wrong. It shows up correctly in search, but if you download it, the artist shows up as Grant Stewart Trio and the song titles are apparently songs from a Grant Stewart Trio album... sigh (recalling this from earlier last year, and when I went to play it again today I found a couple tracks I had not fixed). BTW, the label, Cellar Live, has a couple new 2018 jazz releases up on eMu today, one of which combines a traditional jazz quartet with a string quartet (BC Double Quartet - "Departure"... sounds pretty interesting listening to the samples).
Here are some of my top Progressive Rock albums on eMusic from the 1960s/1970s (eMusic is a real treasure trove for this kind of music). Most of them absolute classics of the genre and difficult to find elsewhere at a reasonable price!
Affinity - "Affinity"
Josefus - "Dead Man Alive"
Deja-Vu - "Between The Leaves"
D.R. Hooker - "The Truth"
Atomic Rooster - "Death Walks Behind You"
Agusa - "Hogtid"
Baby Grandmothers - "Baby Grandmothers"
Gentle Giant - "Octopus"
Armada - "Beyond the Morning"
Chico Magnetic Band - "Acid Rock"
Corpus - Creation A Child
Chicago Magnetic Band - "Acid Rock"
Various Artists - "60's & 70's Acid Flash"
Various Artists - "Spacerock: An interstellar Traveller's Guide" (73 tracks and over 7 hours playing for the price of one album! Great music too!
Interested to hear others' views on Progressive Rock.
Hi @peterfrederics and welcome to emusers! Thanks for joining in. It would be a good idea to move this post to a new thread focused on progressive rock, or maybe add it to this thread about things discovered at emusic, since we typically use this thread for posting what we are listening to at the moment and daily chit chat around that. Which is not to say folk won't necessarily reply here, there's just a better chance of building a themed discussion over time on a thematically apt thread!
(I listen to progressive rock sometimes. I wonder what you might think of this album, which I found just before Christmas)
Well, I'd also like to welcome @peterfrederics. These are what I'm listening to as I'm re-editting my entire iTunes Library. I've been using Discogs to update Genres, artwork and release dates & now I'm a bit more confused at all different genres/styles things are categorized as. I'm in Canada and every track we download is 49 cents, so we don't get to take advantage of special multi-track album buys. I'll look forward to seeing what you're listening to. There's no end to interesting threads to explore, I'm still catching up. 2000 2001 2002 2007

Such an incredibly joyful listen, on an underrated, under-the-radar "jazz and beyond" label out of Europe (AUAND).
Zeno De Rossi - "Zenophilia"
Seriously bizarre !

Which eMuser posted this one...Round up the usual suspects. Still NYOP

I love this album, goofy title and all. Guests include David Hidalgo, David Lindley,
Ry Cooder, T Bone Burnett & Benmont Tench among others.
When I discovered in 1999 that my (now) wife's CD library included Peter Case, I knew I met the girl of my dreams.
