Maybe I never paid attention, but what was aloc's avatar like? A cartoon character smashed to pieces?

According to the notes some of the tapes were in more or less liquid form, but it only affects certain tracks, for instance the title music, which sounds rather muted. But I can't listen to that soundtrack without instantly wanting to see the movie.

I'm somewhat intrigued by this band. A friend played "The Commercial Album" for me, and I thought it was fun. I liked the concept and have been trying (not too hard) to find it on vinyl for some years. Downloading the individual 40 one-minute tracks from Amazon at $1 apiece is not the way to go. Any other recommendations? I feel I'm ready to get myself some Residents albums.

It appears you cannot link to the picture. So here's: http://lambcutlet.org/albums/DomoKun/domo10.sized.jpg

Hi Dave! Good to see you around.

The count could be restored upon request. I think Jim had his restored, so this would actually be his 25k:nd.

I wonder if sub-bass has anything to do with it, given the limitations of the LP medium in the that range (rumble, etc.).

I just discovered that there's even a Wikipedia entry for "Loudness war": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loudness_war

Here's another crazy one: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...em=290171632989 What is this? Money laundering through PayPal? He had 100+ successful sales during the last two weeks of October (and as many more in November), but only four positive feedbacks from the last month.

To be more precise, Tyner had a contract with Impulse at the time.

So it is indeed. (But I just want to add that I don't find any particularly offensive posts in this thread, though)

I agree wholeheartedly.

Thanks! I'll save this listing myself this time.

As is humans killing anmals.

Actually, I got myself another copy of 'Soul Station' just a week ago because I wanted the ugly cover:

On the other hand, Claude posted that link of yours on September 16th already.

I've been trying to find the thread with the complete listing of all batches in the Connoisseur series for half an hour, but I just can't seem to find it. Anyone has it bookmarked?

Well, when hearing "late" Gillespie (end of the 60s and onwards) I can't get out of my mind what he once sounded like. His tone got kind of weaker somewhere around then. For sure, there's some hilarious 70s live stuff on variuos bootleg labels, but the last Gillespie album I tend to enjoy was the one scored by J.J. Johnson (early 60s). Maybe it's my loss.

Well we did at least get the opportunity to voice some general opinions on Mike Longo... You must excuse me, I did perhaps not read your initial post too carefully. What's more, for some reason I thought this thread was about the Groove Merchant reissues... Will try to check out the Mainstream album anyway.

I don't own the Mainstream one, heard it at a friend's years ago. The only track I can remember was a bossa which had a nice flute solo from Moody. Will try to check it out if you're interested (and if you feel you can trust me once more... )

Just spinning 'Funkia' now, and I still stand by my "cocktail" notion. BTW, 3 out of 8 tracks have Rhodes, nicely recorded if nothing else.

It was a couple of years since I heard them. Yes, the one with Moody is better. The trio albums are mostly acoustical piano from what I can remember, and I can't get away from the feel of "cocktail"; simple licks, block chords, not very exciting rhythmically. I guess I don't find Longo's playing very interesting. Nothing against electrical piano (I love to play the Fender Rhodes myself), and usually I'm quite fond of the sound of Rhodes+acoustic bass.

Jacki McLean 'Capuchin Swing' (BN/Toshiba). I love the passage when the form breaks down during the piano solo of "Francisco"!
