Oh but sadly some are in some circumstances. There's far too much evidence of people 'coming back for more' in relationships that are abusive or where the power dynamic rests against them. That's incontrovertible I'm afraid, as anyone who has worked in the field will attest. Not saying that's the case here but it sure feels like it to me, maybe not the abusive elements but definitely the power dynamic.

Reissue imminent, claiming to be official Vinyl and digital only (cue usual outrage) https://moved-by-sound.bandcamp.com/album/conspiracy-2 Such a great album. I have an original but have pre-ordered one of these too

Tyrone Mings Han Bennink Tangerine Dream

All of this, well said.

I have just realised that if it's the QEH gig I was there. Definitely need to hear it now

Lots of dancing on the heads of pins. He shouldn't have done it, whatever the situation.

That's a great album

I have no reason to doubt this but I also have no idea what compensation Sam agreed with Harper. For all we know it could be an exception to that rule.

And all power to his elbow. As the owner of several of his releases I'm pleased he does what he does in the way he so chooses. And I agree with Pin, this Harper is special.

I dropped my subscription to Wire ten years ago and partly for that reason and partly because its sheer editorial eclecticism was leaving me behind. Not Wire's fault. I"m with you on uncritical reviews. This, I think is bolstered by star rating with critics seemingly listening to music always 3.5 - 5 stars good. It's most telling when a release receives a number of reviews and the extracts from the press kit are readily identifiable in all of them I'm not sure I read many reviews these days but use sites like Free Jazz Collective as a handy new releases listing instead. I realise typing this that I've not even read Point Of Departure for ages, one of the better sources. As for writing on art I have never found a periodical that doesn't completely confound me, despite attempts over 30+ years. I stick with my catalogues (just now thoroughly enjoying the Tate Agnes Martin catalogue again) and the fabulously staid magazine that comes with my Art Fund membership. Listening to 'Mutual Aid Music' now, prompted by this exchange. Really enjoying it.

Nate Wooley - Mutual Aid Music

I have been doing similar, dl files and upload to Plex to play but recently I have been streaming straight from the BC app and not realised it was a new function - doh! I knew I was missing something. Thanks for enlighreningt me.

The review on Free Jazz and a couple of others made very heavy work of the link between mutual aid and improvisation. Something I thought was bleeding obvious. I didn't read the liners but suspect they may have been the source. I like Woodley a lot and admire his Sound American initiative but I do fear he over- theorises a touch. The noise around MAM seemed to be an extreme example but maybe I'm just a cynical old Hector these days...

Hasn't that always been available? I have downloaded all my BC purchases over the years to my laptop or phone. Or am I missing something here (very probably)?

I'd not bought a Wooley release for a while, since the first 'Battle Pieces' I think (had far too much) I think but bought both 'Mutual Aid Music' and his duo with Perelman. Really enjoying both. Did get very weary, very quickly with all the theorising around MAM though.

All of know is that he releases stacks of stuff, always appearing on the DMG weekly list. Never listened to any of it, don't know why

Absolutely

I do have some trouble disassociating his music from his actions. I've bought every one of his releases I think and this episode definitely leads a very sour taste to the prospect of listening to it again. I probably shall but not immediately. I will definitely think twice before putting money his way again.

current UK research showing first dose of Pfizer or AZ gives about 30% protection against the new variant, up to 65% with AZ on second dose, 80% with Pfizer.

It's odd because the issue is so obvious but there are some posts from folk who claim not to have the issue on their copy. I had two copies both faulty, still got the last one. Will be buying tis new edition, definitely

It wasn't so much the SQ as the mix, they'd managed to leave one channel of the mix out at some points! This from the Discogs debate at the time " The problem with the reissue - on Side 1 - is only one side of the stereo image (the left channel of the original recording) has been pressed on to both channels of the record. The result is that when the first saxophone solos on the reissue (right channel of the original issue) you are actually only hearing the reverb of this instrument, hence the ‘recessed sound’. When the second sax solos on the reissue the signal is much stronger (albeit ‘drier’ than in the original, without reverb) as you are hearing the channel to which it was originally panned.... this problem only affects Side 1 of the reissue - Side 2 has the correct stereo image. Its difficult to understand how such a glaring mistake can get through a professional mastering stage, and then not be picked up on by a record label before manufacturing - surely listening to a test pressing would have made it obvious that there had been a mistake? I wonder if maybe the original master tape for Side 1 of the album is damaged, and so a decision was made to go ahead and press using only one channel, "

I bought that 'Space walk' too, really poor. Interesting debate as to its legitimacy on the Discogs page at the time I'm happy to repeat the Tubby shipping option if needs be Clifford. But what if they both get you!

This will be costly! Great to see download codes too. Also, no mention of 'limited' as far as I can see which means no mad dash

definitely frisky, but you'd expect nothing else
