Seven Over Eight

Totally interested in this now.

I've heard a bit of it from samples, but I was definitely interested to hear more. I'm a big fan of Debussy and his beautiful tonescapes, so as of right now I'm putting this one on the list for the next time I'm in a Tzadik mode. I think you won't be disappointed, Impossible. It sounded great to me. Annie Gosfield also, the Flying Sparks and Heavy Machinery cd description sounded like something I'd really like to check out. I happened upon a quicktime video of "Shoot the Player Piano" by Gosfield a few months back, quite cool: Annie Gosfield - Shoot the Player Piano -scroll down a bit and you'll see her name under the video streams heading. This is an excellent website, by the way. I totally enjoyed their streaming radio (while we still had that capability at work). Great stuff going on there. Also on my want list: Milton Babbitt: Occasional Variations - Just learned about him from a book I'm reading on electronic music, copyright 1975. John Zorn: Chimeras David Shea - Classical Works II - I have his Hsi-Yu Chi, and that's a great recording. Other things from him I've heard on college radio, and everything has been quite good, well-layered and thought provoking. Great recommendations all, thanks.

Its actually a non-jazz Tzadik cover. Ive gone nuts over this label. I've got about 50 discs, and this is from one of my favorite groups represented. Ruins - Symphonica Glad to see the interaction here, this will help me and I hope to be a help to you all as well. edit: Usually Allmusic does a good job with record reviews, but I guess they didn't like this one. I think the band, Ruins, and this album, are absolutely mindblowing. Disregard AMG and trust me on this one, seriously. If you're into complexity, chaos, and fusion/prog music, you'd dig this album.

(Copied from a recent post I made to the slsk board, I think you guys would be more interested:) Bobby Previte - The 23 Constellations of Joan Miro A relatively recent find for me, and one that blew my mind upon first listening. This thing is beautiful. Can be described as a "mad rush of colors through the brain" as far as a listening experience. Sounds very improvised throughout, but actually I believe most of it is written. Reminiscent of Alice Coltrane's "Journey in Satchidananda", it's a wonderful trip through sound, color and texture.

Tim Sparks does a good job on the Masada Guitars CD as well. Maybe you'd like that one.

I have the Diaspora Blues cd, and it is excellent. Sorry to hear about the costs.

I've been interested in John Zorn's Tzadik label for a couple of years now, but I don't find too many others who delve into it as often as I do. I was wondering if this might be a good place to suggest or talk about the records and artists on this label, and help others find good albums to check out. Thanks!

the hidden image is this: "You've Got It!" Always the man of inspiration, that McLaughlin. Listened to the Remember Shakti CD myself recently, and my concurring thoughts on "The Wish". B)

Thanks for the tip. I've pretty much steered clear of the YCDTOSA albums so far, because the first one I heard was a later incarnation and the music wasnt very interesting at all, I went for just the pure history in his studio recordings. However, The George Duke/Napoleon Murphy Brock band would definitely be worth checking into. This was Zappa at his best IMO. Looking forward to hearing a live Inca Roads for sure! B) Other personal faves: Weasels, Burnt Weeny Sandwich, Roxy & Elsewhere, Uncle Meat, Grand Wazoo, Chunga's Revenge, One Size Fits All, Apostrophe, Lumpy Gravy, Civilization Phaze III (I'm into ambient/experimental music, so I dig on this one), Bongo Fury has its moments of greatness, as does Over-Nite Sensation. Studio Tan and Sleep Dirt are also two of my faves, seemingly the lesser talked about of his works. I love 'em both.

I've never heard of this record, but I am familiar with Yoshida's RUINS. He's an amazing drummer! Would you be so kind as to post a link to this record?
