couw

Ubu, hope you're okay. I would certainly appreciate to read more of your comments here, as... you made me do it!! please do read through this thread, it's the damn best Miles commercial I ever saw. In spite of the title. Go figure... great board I guess.

you got mine didn't you?!

aaah! the BFT thread! see you there then Catesta.

B3er is right, what does Be 1/Sw 4 mean anyway?

where?

the best part of the artwerk: "The LP release did not include any sort of insert."

miles who?

That's easy for you guys at the Funkateer level to say. hey! I am a MERE master of the groove!

No got yet. B) spend double time with it when it arrives. no posting before you nail at least half of the tracks. and no peeking either!

almost evan! almost...

marcus, thanks for your reactions once again. If you have any trouble finding stuff you like let me know, I'm sure we can arange something, maybe with some help from Sweden...

aren't you supposed to be listening to another Blindfold Disk?

Thanks for identifying that LP. I listened to it only once, many years ago. woa! cool beans!

good

no, no, nothing. go ahead. move on...

Someone find him and slap him. I noticed couw passed AB on the post count ticker, that would be enough to put anybody on a Greatful Dead bender. Well....., almost anybody. can you feel the hot steamin' breath yet?!

Second run through. Track 1. Still cannot come up with anything better than Van Rooyen or Porcini. It's not the Cinematic Orchestra, and I'm pretty sure it's not Amon Tobin either, although there are definitive pointers in both their direction. Frickin' Fabulous Stuff though! I love the knife-sharpening sounds and the couwbells. Track 2. Somebody tell me more about that drum pattern that sets in around the 2:10 mark Track 3. Something is yelling "French!" through my head. Alto may be Fol following that hint. Damn! This definitely has a Gainsbourg quality, but it's not him. Might be Hodeir in one of his more playful moods. Doubt again. Track 4. grmbl... grmbll... I still have this. The trumpet sounds like Byrd, but that gets me nowhere. Reminds me of the Jazztet somehow. Track 5. I've given up on finding out what this one is after running over to my collection a zillion times because of the previous track... Track 6. The thing is: I have been playing this damn BFT so often, that I am convinced I have ALL the tracks somewhere in my collection. This one is definitely no exception. As I posted before, the thing is that this way-cool-easy-going-why-don't-I-do-the-dishes-today kinda music is somehow really difficult when it comes to actually identifying it. And so you might as well throw Track 7. in my direction. I ain't gonna solve it. Not today. I was hoping I could get rid of that "I know this, I know this" frantic thing and concentrate on the playing and try to solve it from there. No go, I've had one too many beers for that (and will have another one later on I think ) Track 8. ... Track 9. If I remain the only one who go this one right, we might as well start an email exchange instead of a thread on this guy's music... Track 10. pointing us to the tenor, should have helped of course. It didn't. It's probably because it's an unusual setting for this player to occur in, or at least where my knowledge is concerned.Track 11. Still like this one better. You have to LOVE the way the ensemble shouts go all gooey and glitch off the right path! It's because the nose is too big? Track 11. 'nuf said huh! Track 12. an' one more again. (HELLYEAH!) Track 13. lovely. Track 14. less so. Bit more Biscaya, but VERY enjoyable nonetheless. Cannot be wise, will remain curious. Track 15. still no likee, skipped this one to make sure I have something to say about the following tracks. But first: let me get another beer! Track 16. some telly theme? Still not very interesting I find. The tenor nags somewhere back there telling me "you know me! You know me!" Yeah well, quit playing in crappy environments then! Track 17. I'll just pretend I didn?t hear this one as it has me thinking I should know it again (again? again!) Track 18. still too short. Do you want us to guess that it's Slime, I mean Miles playing here? Track 19. I'm still tempted to opt for Sex Mob. I rather like this one. The greasy, fat blues lines, drip drip drip, definitely something to enjoy. It's all a bit overdone of course, but in a genuine fashion. Could remind one of Zappa in the approach. Track 20. I clicked Mike's link. Should probably have recognised this... edit: damn, that stupid text processor even chanced the triple dots into questionmarks!

I'm sorry people, please DO continue the fabulous discussion. I'm learning a whole lot. Even if I still don't like Miles's playing.

aaah! yes!

C'mon, there's actually FOUR hints for #20 alone! Shall I be more forthcoming? I love it the way it is. It's somehow... you Vint. & Let's have some more people chime in first!

hey cool beans! thanks for joining the party. Even at this late hour there is still something to be had I hope. I just read your guesses and ... well... judging from your comment on track 5 you really didn't check the answers first...
