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.

I was well pleased to read about this, at last I can replace some of those vinyl rips from back in the sharity days. Of course it's collector vinyl driven so we'll have to wait and see, but promising even at $10 a pop.And yet 7Digital the company that eMusic ended up sourcing a lot of music from is still going. Albeit focused on major label drivel. Mind I never really did understand the connection between the two.And no sooner had I mentioned RIP fatigue...RIP Rick Buckler, The Jam drummer dead at only 69. One of the few bands that stayed split up when they called it a day and paradoxically one of the bands most Brits my age …(Quote)
Not my take on it but I know elsewhere that some Robert Wyatt fanboys still hold a grudge that Ratledge "kicked Wyatt out of Soft Machine". A lot of these people seem not to like SM after Third and even that is a push for the ja…(Quote)
Sad news. For a short while there he acted as a great foil to the rather preposterous Mr Fripp. Somewhere I have an album he made with Derek Bailey if memory serves.
Sultry downtempo minimal electro-pop from Berlin on the usually reliable No Not Fun cassett…This one is fairly easy on the ears ethnic / prog fusion (which can be a bit of a minefield IMHO)But I don't mind this at all.

You've got me going now as well. I've had this album and their self-titled release in my BC Wishlist for a while and almost pulled the trigger a few times. Guess I'll have to give it another go.

A bit like Bob Dylan's Never Ending Tour then? Great album btw.
Funnily enough my wife is a massive fan of both of those Rickie Lee Jones albums. I like them, but they are Desert Island discs with her. The Mercury Rev is one of the very few albums that for assorted reasons I've bought three times. In case y…Ah, so you started without me eh? Well here we go.Yesterday I read an old overview of Eberhard Weber's career and listened to half a dozen albums which naturally today has lead me onwards to these records. Bassist We…(Quote)

I was going to suggest exactly this yesterday but I wasn't in front of my laptop. Anyway seconded.

Presumably you'll be going the UK route, rather than the weird hodge podge of the US releases? I find it fascinating how the catalgue was diced up to make more product for the US market, not that the lads had much of a say in th…^^^@rostasi^^^That is a good point and also what may be old news to one person can be something new to another listener. I must admit to being roughly 50…
