Don't know about FLAC > MP3, but if you want to burn them on regular CDRs, you got to install FLAC Frontend. All very easy. That one makes WAVs out of the FLACs, and I suppose you using an MP3 player know how to handle WAVs. ubu

Uh, only now i realise I'm from Germany, too! I guess then I could have safely voted for Europe... (I did that, in teh end, but due to Switzerland's political isolation I considered other for a few seconds) Hey, you gotta see the silver lining ... no import taxes anymore. Yes, but the import taxes from Germany can - at least with Amazon's free shipping for orders starting with 20 Euros - be omitted. AND I get the VAT reimbursed, making everything 12.5% (or how high is that stoopidest and most unsocial of all taxes in Germany again?) cheaper.

That was be me. Buffalo: a parmesan slice of paradise. Little Italy?

Fascinating discussion here, thanks everybody! Will have to spin Breakthrough again! Cornelius: my nomination for best (which in the end is no more than personal favourite, anyway) Mobley album is "Soul Station". I never really "got" "Roll Call" so far... don't ask why, I don't know... I'm a big Mobley fan!

Can I get the Di Battista?

Just stumbled on this thread. Fantastic idea! To Good King Ubu: If the Miles 64 Concert is still available, I'd love to have it. (Sorry I didn't see this before the BFT business. ) By the time you reply I should have at least a few offers ready for posting. indigo It's yours! Is it ok if I send it without the jewel box (it's one of those fat old ones, would double postage fee, I think)?

you think so? Uhm... I thought you'd show me that there is, some day

beer tastes better there though I tend to prefer some Belgian stuff... However, you'd be astonished by *some* Swiss beer (I suppose there is at least one other German beer, besides Jever, that *is* tasty...)

a small hint for CNN (taken from here): And finally, here's what we use to survive in the evil world:

And definitely not there: It also has been said that: Suiza no existe!

Geographically spoken: Europe. Country-wise: Switzerland. Thus: politically spoken: completely off mark (and not to be part of Europe for at least 10-15 years from now )

sent you a pm!

Oh yeah!

Happy Birthday!

Thanks a lot Cary for these great discs and write-ups!

She's been identified in an email I got last week... of course we love here! This track is pretty rare, I assume, and there's a story behind it, too, but that's all for the answers thread

Nice photos Gokhan! And yes, Herr Brötzelmeister will play Zurich on April 17, day before the king's birthday. Nice to know Gebbia will be here on 12th, thanks, I didn't know that! Didn't get "Zen Window" so far, but hey, it's Gebbia, who, if nothing else, did a record we (well, not everybody agrees, but that's not the point anyway) rate as "da shit", which is no small achievement ubu

Don't like those fellows all that much, but... I'll tell more about it later.

More fun here... There is no smart theme to my two discs, but in one sense, the provenience of much of Disc 2 is different than of Disc 1, in other regards, though, it is similar or identical... For me, personally, there are links between the discs, yet there is a general difference, too. No need to guess on themes, though. I just think it's easier to have two threads instead of one huge thread. Let's par-tay!

As many have received my discs and I already got a few PMs and mails with remarks on my BFT, I open the discussion now. I checked with Cary/.:.impossible and he's ok with me starting the fun. Now: you will hardly be able to use AMG with my discs (some already noticed that...), and you'll hardly be able to track down any album a particular track was taken from. My intent was to share rare and great music, most of which you may never have heard or just heard about. So I'd enjoy reading comments on how you like the music much more than watching you play the "detective game" (sure, do that, too, it IS fun). There are some "big names" hidden on the discs, I'll be interested in seeing if you'll be able to pick them out or not (I guess you will...) and I'll be watching the fun as often as I could and try to chime in with some mysterious hints now and then, too. Enough talking - let's par-tay!

Finally took this out of the shelf: Finishing disc 1 in a few minutes. Fantastic music! Groovy, exploring, beautiful, strong, pure, ripe... Chapin has taken some Ornette (alto) and Kirk (flute), but goes beyond, adding his own schtick, and it works beautifully. His alto sound is huge and shining, just the way I love an alto to sound - also somehow he succeeds in not overdoing it. Pavone has a great bass sound, drummer (who is only on the first two CDs, after that it's Michael Sarin) does a good job, too. ubu

I can't even recall that dancer's name, sorry! I think he was German. Big man, kind of like a bear, almost, but when he started dancing... wow!

I will accordingly proceed in a ... mixed way
