A Lark Ascending

I think your 300 CDs + Download option should work well. You have a loyal base here, many of whom like their physical CD. They'll probably snap them up on release. In the long-term I can't see the physical CD surviving beyond the sort of mega seller that might shift in a supermarket and special editions for collectors (a bit like vinyl today). Seems like you are adapting to that market with your Download + limited CD run model.

Blue skies!

As a friend in Boston pointed out years ago, the obvious one missing from the gerund series was "Fuckin' With the Miles Davis Quintet." 'Pushin' to the Miles Davis Quintet'?

"iPod'n" "textin'"

Bizarre behaviour from strange ladies.

And many, many more 'we're too hip to sound our gs' album covers.

Cheeks! (please restrain yourselves from making the obvious comparison with the...ahem...'erect' trumpet bell end. This is a family site)

Perhaps, but I first heard him when my Pandora Soft Machine station played a track from Songs for My Father. Might have been a musician thing. Karl Jenkins is on those early Colliers and was later in Soft Machine. It's also worth noting that the Soft Machine of Third to Fifth rarely locked into the steady groove of most jazz-rock/fusion. I can hear a similarity of overall sound between Collier and that SM era - but neither stiffen up with the more unrelenting rock beat. Gibbs and Ardley in particular seem to connect more to Nucleus who were much more groove driven (and also shared the revolving door of musicians).
