Archie Shepp - Attica Blues Big Band, Live At The Palais Des Glaces tremendous (thanks to Pim for not liking it enough to part with it)

To a very happy buyer. Terrific service and grading, superfast postage too. Buy with confidence folks! Thanks Pim

I can try!

That's a Not Two All-stars band Unsure why it needs a wooden box. Also, seems odd that they're only releasing an 8 minute piece by the full ensemble. I wonder if there's going to be a follow up companion release with more from them all. Nice to see Homburger included playing the Bach solo and with BG. Saw that live, stunning

A local, central London hotel has just donated all its toilet paper and soap to the charity for older people that I work for to be distributed with our emergency food parcels. More could easily do the same -

An all time favourite. One of the great live albums. I've just finished listening to his 'Justments album, for the same reason Have now moved onto Curtis Mayfield - Sweet Exorcist. More genius. -
1983?! Now I'm suddenly feeling my years. I was only reminiscing with a good friend just before the lockdown about seeing them about then, maybe a year later, in London. May still have the LP in a cupboard somewhere, maybe not

Beatrice Dillon - Workaround One of my occasional forays into contemporary electronic, dance related music. Pitchfork put it rather well "Though the 14 tracks range in style and duration, from hypnotic club cuts to brief, abstracted etudes, they all share a palette of scratchy drum machine and glistening FM synths; virtually all are paced at roughly 150 beats per minute, so that they feel less like standalone compositions than variations upon a single, overarching theme." or just, very good indeed, as I'd put it -

Whoa! He actually means this shit, doesn't he? Must be a hell of a lonely bubble. The assertion that these death rates are attributable to 'regular' conditions must be founded on some evidence that the root cause of a spike in such deaths is travelling the world. Or maybe it's just a coincidence that death rates from 'regular' conditions have spiked like never before. Abject bollocks. Like Bresna said upthread times to use the 'ignore' function. -

Thanks for posting this -
Do you know Idris Rahman's trio Wildflower? Bet you do but if not try and have a listen. https://wildflowermusic.bandcamp.com/ Apologies I realise I'm thread bombing here. Maybe we need a London Jazz thread

I wish I'd listened to this BFT. Great to see a significant UK representation from Shabaka (check out the new one by the same band), Nubya and I'll Considered too! Go London! Nice one Hot Ptah

all depends on how much you want to hear the music, I guess. we can't decide that for you Have you checked streaming sites to see if the ones you want are available to try? Another, cheaper route to see if you like the music enough to invest in an original. As Clifford says the originals' quality are variable, extremely, We're not talking audiophile releases here.

That just makes me so glad we have a different gun ownership culture here. If there is some kind of societal breakdown, God forbid, at least we won't be shooting each other or the whoever's trying to restore order at the time. -
Yes both had that sticker, bought in the last three years or so. The cover quality is good. I agree with mjzee above - similar names, different continents, same opinion . If you want the music, don't want to spend on the originals then buy these at that price. Why not buy one title on Get Back and another on this reissue series and then you can compare yourself? And, welcome to the board!
