Thanks, one for the 'listen to' list definitely

What is that? Always intrigued by Amiga

Brandee Younger - 'Brand New Life'

A overly ambitious failure would be too cruel. Maybe less than the sum of its parts. It's certainly listenable but left me wanting more. Most everyone from current London scene in a studio for a few days interpreting or being inspired by original BB

Both on my 'shall I, shan't I' list

Karl Berger & Kirk Knuffke - Heart Is A Melody [Stunt]

No! I'm just sitting and listening for the first time to "Heart is a melody" and wondering anew at Berger's way with melody. I love so many of his albums. Thanks for such an important and maybe understated contribution. Huge loss

On Bandcamp for those not within DG's range and fully streamable https://karlbergerkirkknuffke.bandcamp.com/album/heart-is-a-melody

Dorothy Ashby 'Soft Winds'

Interesting, thanks. I can take "terrific, mesmerising"

Very nice indeed

The second is a favourite but don't know the first one. Seems daft to ask if it's any good as I haven't yet been disappointed by a GH album

👍 Oh yes!

Interesting thoughts, thanks. I haven't heard it yet. I am tempted by the fact it's a not dissimilar lineup to the one that knocked me out at Oto. However I have far too many AEOC albums that don't get listened to so why buy another....

Thoughts?

Ronald Shannon Jackson & The Decoding Society - Eye On You [About Time, 1980]

That looks very interesting,just bought a cheap LP of it

No, nothing yet. Website said shipping from 31/3 when I last looked so we're a bit late by that. The 3LP Tapscott was delayed quite a bit I think I'm correct in remembering

Organic Pulse Ensemble - A Thousand Hands [2 Headed Deer, Spain 2023]

OK, so that description definitely piques my interest. And with Togashi onboard too. Time for a listen, thanks for posting @HutchFan I have a Midorikawa that's been top of my wantlist for ages

Cassandra Wilson - Jumpworld [JMT, Germany 1990] Greg Osby and Sound Theatre - [Germany, 1987] The Henry Threadgill Sextet - When Was That? [About Time, 1982]

Music Revelation Ensemble - No Wave [Moers Music, Germany 1980]

because I'm too easily led by posts on this board!

I just looked up the lineup, impressive. I have a Moers Decoding I never play anymore, maybe I should Shannon Jackson & The Decoding Society - Nasty [Moers Muisc, Germany 1981] This recording sounds like some of the players are next door to the studio or down a long corridor, especially Khan Jamal

Yeah, I was really surprised by current prices. I paid no more than £10 five years ago or so. Not quite as good a deal as CT's
