J.A.W.

I second Tony's recommendations of No Try No Fail (with the exception of Joëlle Léandre's thankfully very short vocalizing), Kulak 29&30, and Strata. I'm not a fan of "improv vocals", so I can't comment on the Lauren Newton disk.

I'd put it even more strongly: a totally uninteresting effort, with lots of "noodling" and boring guitar playing

How kind of you

Up.

Check out this thread, you may find some useful info there.

Keller String Quartet set, Takács String Quartet set.

These 2CD-sets are my favorites: Keller Quartet - Erato 98538 Takács Quartet - Decca 455297 They both have a kind of "earthy" feeling that these great works need in my opinion.

Thanks Jim.

I also noticed this, and it's a major inconvenience in the "Offering & Looking for..." Forum. I hope it can be reinstalled.

Sounds like you've got a bit of work ahead of you

Hmm, my bank account could use a shot, too...

Welcome Д.Д., good to see you here!

Are you sure you want to give up the political forum?

Excellent post Bev, you said it all.

That looks like a political statement to me. I don't think this is the place for something like that.

Bev, I couldn't agree more!

I was thinking about importing the Japanese version until I found out that it's copy-controlled.

There will be, if you pile up the residents.

Of course, now that we have a place to talk about you behind your back... Ha, now I'll be able to plead ignorance!

The JJJ Mosaic is one of their best in my opinion. Some of JJJ's best work is included in that wonderful set
