no worries. My guess at the famous one would be track 6. It sounded familiar.

I've just had a first listen , more thoughts later but track 14 ?? Is the original song what I think it is ? I'd never thought that would turn up on a BFT.

Yes mate, I have the Kontiz etc Mosaic , but only have had chance to listen to that briefly.

Well now, the question is - is this lack of understanding a permanent, incurable condition, and if not, is it a voluntary affair that you have no interest in changing? There are no right answers, but it has to be asked. Its definitely not voluntary & hopefully not permanent or incurable. Part of the appeal & enjoyment of the music is the my love of the new & unknown , so my ears are not closed. My fear of lack of understanding comes from seeing posts made by the guys that I have a respect for their opinion knowing they have been listening for far longer than I have & knowing they have a deeper technical knowledge of the music. So I was a bit surprised when this CD didnt yank me by the ears like the previous titles I've heard from the same label. Like I said perhaps I just need to sit down & listen a few more times.

too much time with the humourous rodent thread methink I've not fully submerged just yet!

(Gulp) I think I need to sit down & listen to this CD a few more times , it just doesnt seem to grab me at all. Either that or book an appointment at the doctors to have my ears checked out. I think Mr Marsh's music works on a higher level that I cannot understand.

It might be worth you guys checking out Emusic. At the moment they have loads of Leo , ESP & Ativista (quite a few early Brotzmann - Balls , Nipples etc) you can download & a free trial period.

Let us know how you like it. I haven't checked any of Cecil's Leo releases yet. Carlos Ward is one of my favorite alto saxophone players (he also plays some mean flute... and is an excellent composer). He is excellent on two live discs he recorded with Ed Blackwell on Enja, and on duo reocrd with Karl Berger. Its EXCELLENT! I'm about 30 mins in & things are brewing up very nicely. Some great sax & flute on this CD also.

I'm just giving this a first listen my first exposure to Leroy Jenkins & Carlos Wards work.

Yep & Figo's on fire! At 1- 0 the Dutch are still in it , & have been let off the hook first half , maybe luck is on there side.

Happy birthday!

Dont be afraid of this one its quality. Its not standards, I really enjoy it & I'm also a Braxton newbie.

Kisses Sweeter Than Wine alone is worth $39.

After a few Ayler tunes, he'd die smiling.

Im enjoying this at the moment

I am very curious abut this one. Chadbourne is a fantastic musician (and a very entertainig writer, and good music critic), but he has occasional lapses of taste meking some of his work pretty unlistenable. I've just listened to disc 1 for the first time, Initial impression - strange & fucking intense.

Yep, you'd better not call a Scot, a Welshman or an Irishman English... & vice - versa !

No arguments there Couw , all I'm saying is look at the dissalowed goal again.

The ref was right, the goalkeeper was attacked within the box. The game goes into extra time. God I wish you could see that goal again , Uk TV has been showing it again & again , but there is NOTHING wrong with that goal. If posssesion & chances won games I wouldn'nt grumble . but were we cheated. Enjoy the rest of the tournament guys ( & good luck).

it was a foul, not a penatly. that was the mistake of the arbiter. you can blame Davids, but he is not the kind of player to fegh around like that. from the angle they showed in the UK there was no contact.

My bet: 1.- England vs Netherlands 2.- France vs Czech Republic and then England vs France and then France B) I'll bet on these semifinals: - Portugal vs. Sweden, - France vs. Czech Republic. Then, I'll start praying for the final My guess Semi Finals 1.- England vs Netherlands 2.- France vs Czech Republic Final Netherlands vs Czech Republic winners Czech Republic

Has Davids started taking lessons fronm Nedved? That was never a penalty!

I have none of those. I really should pick up Little Birds Have Fast Hearts 1 & 2 as those seem to be favorites of many a Funny Rat poster. 'Little Birds have fast hearts' gets better with each listen , I have this is on my 'to listen to' pile at the moment - it looks interesting

The Czechs have just scored a peach of a free kick!
