Thanks for all the suggestions, folks. Just bumping this up for the overseas crowd (through the 'overnight' hours, here in the U.S.)

Pretty much what DrJ just said, goes for me too.

At least it wasn't this that was Beri's Avatar...

Very few people know about USOM coming out in the Fall. I would venture to say that outside of the people who read these boards, I suspect Michael hasn't told any more than one or maybe two dozen people, at most. (And then all it takes is one of those people to post the info here, or on AAJ - and suddenly a few more people know.) It wouldn't suprise me all that much that Horace didn't know. He probably should know, but it's not like it's really "public" knowledge either. (And it's still anything but 100% certain too, I suspect.)

So, you're saying that Clint Eastwood doesn't have anything else better to do?? Man, that's cold!! Better hope he doesn't try to make your day!!

If the Blue Note sale can really be combined with the 15% off on April 15th sale, then domestic RVG's will be like $8.30 each (if you buy enough to get the free shipping). Now that's quite a deal. Otherwise, without the 15% off too -- they're about $9.75 each -- which is a good price, to be sure -- but not really a 'great' price.

I think a little more respect towards Eastern religion is in order. I hear a lot of prejudice in your statement, and I am pretty sure you would not tolerate someone calling Christian religion "garbage". Coltrane's spiritual quest was one of deep sincerity, and it certainly gave him something - and a host of other people. Each man to his own beat of the drum. To call him blind borders on the arrogant. Both here, as well as back on the old BNBB – Shrdlu has consistently stated that his personal concepts of religion are the one and only 'true' way to view the world. The prejudice you hear in his statement is intended as such. (And to suggest anything otherwise, is to take on a loosing battle.)

Seriously, do people here think there's a chance of both discounts being applied?? Both the "Blue Note" sale price, plus an additional 15% off?? That'd be one sweet deal. EDIT: I just looked at the e-mail I got about this more carefully, and perhaps YES -- the 15% would be applied on top of the Blue Note sale price (meaning we could maybe combine both offers). Here's part of the .gif I got in the e-mail today, as an attachment to this post...

Oddly enough, the first thing I thought of when I heard the voice was Ringo Starr.

darn... -_-

Sun Ra Arkestra, in 1991.

PG3: Ein Deutsches Album (AMG audio-clips) PG4: Deutsches Album (AMG audio-clips) AMG Review for PG4 follows, but it includes an explaination about both of PG's German albums... I really like 'em both. B)

Here's that Spanish-language tribute to "The Police" that I just mentioned... Outlandos D'Americas: A Rock en Español Tribute to The Police Audio-samples at BN.com Not all of the tracks will change your life, but I really like about half of them, and the rest are not half bad. Check out track #7: Almas (Spirits in the Material World) B) The cover of "Walking on the Moon" takes the chorus the way of the Mariachi (although, unfortunately, the audio-clip doesn't have this part, drat). Fun disc -- well worth picking up, if you happen to find it used, or otherwise on sale.

I've long had this idea that there's a whole world of rock/pop/alternative music out there (both literally and figuratively), that we here in the U.S. are never exposed to --- because the lyrics are not in English!!! My interest stems from a Tribute disc that I have, to the band "The Police" - recorded by all Latin American bands, and all the covers are in Spanish. And there's another disc of Spanish-language covers of tunes by "The Cure" too, that I've also been looking for (also by Latin-American rock/alternative bands). But what I'm REALLY looking for are interesting alternative/rock/pop albums that are sung in German!! (Or maybe some other guttural language – perhaps Russian?? Dutch might be interesting too. Oh gosh, what about Japanese??) I've already got both of Peter Gabriel's albums on CD, that he recorded in German (PG3 and PG4), and I really love them both. I mean, there's got to be bands out there that as just as good (or better!!) than Radiohead, or U2, or Matthew Sweet, or [take your pick] -- that just happen to sing in some non-English language. Or maybe some other cool "Tribute" type albums, with familiar tunes (that we all know in their regular English versions), except done in other languages. (An all German-language Police tribute would be cool, come to think of it.) Any suggestions??? Links with audio-clips would be much appreciated. Couw???

April 11th, 2003.

The last three on disc #3, "The Happy Medium", "Peace" and "Old Mother Nature Calls", and three tracks on disc #4, "How Much Does Matter Relally Matter", "All" and "All in Time". The original records involved are "That Healin' Feelin' ", "Total Response", "All", and "Silver 'n Voices". Luca Just listened to some on-line audio-clips of these four tracks. Yikes!!!! Very scary, VERY scary!!!

Don't know a thing about Wiik (never heard of him before now), but any Norwegian piano trio is probably something I'd be pretty interested in, I'd think. (EDIT: I just found an online 2-minute audio-clip of the first track, and 30-second clips of all the tracks on the CD -- and I would definitely like to buy this disc from you!!) EDIT: And if nobody else turns out to be interested in that "Free Fall / Furnace" disc, I'm kinda half interested in it too (from the audio-clips I found). But I'm a little on the fence about it too (meaning about "Furnace") -- so if anyone else is interested in it, please jump in. (But I'm totally sold on that Wiik Trio disc!!) PM's sent...

Which tracks on this set have vocals??

I've never heard any Horace with vocals. Anybody have any links to any sites with samples?? (Probably not, but it never hurts to ask.)

Wouldn't some Bureau of Standards of some sort, be the one to decide such things???

It's all about the music to me. I'd rather have a crappy "Applause" BN issue of a title I'm really interested in, than an early 90's TOCJ issue of a different title that I'm much less interested in. Another example... This is one of THE worst sounding discs ever. But it's one of my all-time favorite recordings with Woody Shaw, and a rare appearance by Tyrone Washington. IMHO, this is a "must have" recording, in my book. The sound absolutely stinks, but the music transcends the sound quality.

The wife and I finished ours about a week ago (for the record - she did 'em -- she's a lot better with forms than I am). We usually wait until sometime around mid-March, but one year we actually got them done about a week after we got our W2's in the mail (probably the first week in February). Of course, that was back when we could both still file the EZ form (and before we were married), probably around 1998 or so.
