Hi Rod, I've been listening to both versions of the death and resurrection of Christ that you sent me. Thanks again for that and indeed the rather splendid Penderecki at 80 collection. Reason for the mail is that I can't seem to find any details online regarding the version conducted by the man himself. Do you have any? Just my curiosity is all. Hope all is well. Best Dave H.

Off to listen to some live music for a change later on, but waking up on a sunny Saturday morning with this forgotten gem from one of the hard drives. Vol 2 from the 60s and 70s may well be next.

@peterfrederics Hi Der! Yep I got both of those from Los Bros Freeman at Ultima Thule when they came out on cd. "Four Letter..." is especially tasty and was my introductio…

(Quote) Seconded, I've been spending some time with Sonny's Prestige titles this week.

(Quote) I despair of ever catching up with Hubro - though its fun trying - and here you go mentioning an album that doesn't even have any preview tracks yet!

(Quote) And I had NO idea that FZ had recorded this with grumpy old Van the Man. Some pretty great plank spanking from Unca Frank too. Dead Girls of London. Of course Warner wouldn't let FZ use the Van vocal - I'm sure it helped sour his rela…

(Quote) As released on Zappa Records and then Barking Pumpkin. Dead Girls of London I had on a 1979 Zappa boot years ago (early 80s) and wondered where it was from. Song features vocals from FZ and the recently departed Ike Willis. One of sev…

(Quote) Glad you liked. I filched it from a sharity site. It feels kind of down at home, not too polished, but those birds? Are they really, or is it just a good whistler?

(Quote) Doh! How bad is my memory?! Arzachel = Uriel = Egg. "Simon Sasparella" on guitar indeed!

@peterfrederics As soon as I read "recorded in a cavern" I thought, hang on I've heard that before! Sure enough I have the re-issue in my collection. Thanks for the remind…

(Quote) Hmm definitely trying to trigger click-bait outrage by having Faust at the start of the article, I'll give the feature a proper look later when I've more time as there are some new to me names there. Thanks for the alert.

I've been listening to a couple of albums by this group which coincidentally include a bass player and keyboard player from ØRESUND SPACE COLLECTIVE. This though is jazz-rock with an Italian Prog twist. Again thanks to the Freeman Brothers.^^^ I should also point out that the new Audion magazine #87 released today features not only The Bevis Frond and Steve Wilson. ^^^ (And no, I'm not on a retainer from the Freeman Brothers!) Search Audion artist on Bandcamp.(Quote) A great record which somehow has never made it into my collection. Fun fact New River runs for 20 miles through suburban North London. New River Head where it used to flow into a "cistern" is now Saddlers Wells Theatre in Islington ho…(Quote) Been reviewed in Audion quite a bit, not heard this one yet.(Quote) On my BC wishlist after I discovered its existence while trying to catch up with International Anthem. I'll stop before I get too far into that retired person with too much to do cliché (typed while watching the wife working in the ga…(Quote) Considering the All-Star cast of favourite musicians here I'm amazed that I haven't given this enough attention. Thanks for the heads up - again!Speaking of catching up with old albums by even older bands. I hadn't heard this one until this week. Tortoise really did fall off many folks radar I find. (2009)

(Quote) Yeah that factoid was all over the press when they first started out. In other well known news they are about to release their first album in about 13 years. Lots of my friends loved their albums but for some reason it took me quite a…(Quote) We have some well travelled folk in this group, I wonder if you are the gold medallist?
I somehow don't think moving from Oldham - London - Kirkwall would put me in the medal table, but I might get a silver for going from L…(Quote) I have 50th B'day vol 11 but got it in a mass acquisition and haven't paid it due attention. Thanks for the reminder.(Quote) You can't go far wrong with any of the Masada albums what surprised me way back then was how different the live albums were in regards to each other.
