couw

great stuff deus! that thread idea sounds good. BTW: why didn't you sign up for BFT #5 (or did you and did I mess up?)

Paul, some people DO read the comments by others before weighing in on their own I've noticed. And then any answer written out large spoils the fun. Further, you may remember the Barney Wilen track that JSngry couldn't figure out. He (and others) had a lot of fun (I think) in finding the correct player and title. I wouldn't want to throw a rod between those spokes. It's just to keep the guessing on as long as possible I guess. Hope this explains.

I wonder why music boy hasn't posted a review yet

you know Ed, somehow I knew you'd do that before you even did it.

Grat

Ich lebe in Deutschland, sollte klappen denke ich so... thanks for that link

it used to be linked from the Mosaic site I believe. Can't find it there anymore.

those covers = COOL BEANS! I'm running out of Pictures for my cover series. Why don't you take over for the next ten or so?

yes, love it and yes, I was gonna post that link BTW: covers go here

this BFT thing is making steam and rolling like a well-oiled machine it seems.

welcome aboard tooter!

okay now, time to fess up! Who of you wrote that 5 star review on the BN site?

here's one for you.

I wonder why you didn't note that my response would be even greater. I mean, how could it not be?

cool site and nice people.

In a thus far unparalleled cross-Atlantic cyber-coordinated effort, and in spite of unexpected problems in Coconut Creek, all blindfold disks went out yesterday. Disks may start arriving at doorsteps from this very moment on, where your eager ears await them (I hope). My guess is you all will want to start spewing your venom or start burying the music in praise right away, so I thought I'd better sound the gong for this first round right now. Let me have it folks. Give me your ideas, give me your guesses, give me your opinions, just give me a regular blindfold discussion with all the well-informed opinions that go with that. I selected this music with a theme in mind. For those so inclined this may provide another quest. Be informed though that this theme is rather obvious. It was more of a restriction to me than it will ever be a help for any of you in identifying any of the tracks or players. There are not many really obscure things in here. I did not make this test to show you the deepest recesses of my collection, but rather wanted to give you a (partial) taste of what I like. Probably some if not many of you will immediately recognise some if not many of the tracks. I did not hesitate to include music that you will never forget after hearing it once. At least that's the effect it had on me. These tracks and others as well, may be dead give-aways as such. I still hope you enjoy hearing them again. If any ONE person goes APESHIT over ONE track included herein, a track that others skip over 'cause they don't like it or already know it, for the sake of APESHITness of that one person, it's been worth it in my opinion. (Actually I gave this disk to a friend of mine beforehand and he really, really, really wanted to know about one specific track, so I guess I've done okay in that respect already.) There is some freer stuff on this disk, but I kept away from the free flowing, hard honking, force-blowing, screech laden music of which I know it would put down some people on the receiving side. I chose more in the pocket stuff that hovers along the edge and might thus inspire some of those alluded to above to invest some time and effort into listening with open ears to what to me constitutes one of the most rewarding kinds of music. To repeat Jim's request: if you know EXACTLY what a cut is, please refrain from revealing it directly. Please post some funny and/or cryptic remarks, AMG links, whatever. DISCUSS the music, whether you know exactly what it is, only know some players, or think you do, or not. Guess, think, compare, and above all make some deep, cool, funny, and unimportant remarks. THAT's the whole ballgame. Thank you for your time and let the games begin! (click)

sorry, that link seems broken, PM'ed you with correct links

amazon.de lists both sets as available from a guy in Hamburg for 22 and 17 EUR respectively. Click here to see them listed. You can email the guy at incendiedulac@web.de

Comic artist Moebius did some very nice work on Hendrix. One is the cover of a french 2LP feat. Axis/Experienced. More of his Hendrix work on this page (scroll down)

subliminal messages again!

what about instead of the album of the week we can have Troll of the week!! Can i nominate me to go first . COUW is there anyway of getting the TROLL OF THE WEEK pinned so i know who to nomimate next? I don't know man, but I'll keep track of the ones that went before. just to make this work you should consider nominating someone with Troll-ish inclinations, you know to get an initial momentum to the thing. We'll be needing it when those who don't know how to really troll have their turn. Vegetating on yesterday's bread so to speak, waiting for the seven fat years to come.

I just listened to this on the train to work, and believe it or not, that image makes a whole lot of sense to me. The pushing and pulling and shoving of (the rhythmic part of) the melody the horns engage in during the theme statement of Pannonica is another thing that makes me connect to my prehistoric self and smile a lot. This is MONK in capital letters. They seem to really touch on the essence of what Monk is all about. And it's definitely not the only time they do on this album.

harumph. it seems the second hand copy of that half note 2CD was sold just now at amazon.de. it's still listed, but no more after you click further... will keep an eye out for this

sent you an e-mail.

bad 'shrooms then
