Berkshire Record Outlet has Spiral available on CD for $3.99. Hard to go wrong at that price. I would also recommend the Live in Montrux disc, also on Freedom, which I have seen available at Berkshire from time to time. There is also a nice live solo set available for free download on his website. All three of these would be easy and inexpensive ways to start exploring his work.

There is something about Garbarek's tone that I'm not really comfortable with...at times his playing almost seems "new agey" to me on this disc. That being said, I really dug this album and am thankful it was chosen as AOW. I also picked up Stenson's Serenity and War Orphans based on this AOW. Serenity has resonated the most with me, so far.

...and have you seen the crazy prices this thread has been getting on ebay????

forget the RVG, JRVG or TOCJ, this thread simply has reversed polarity.

A fairly obscure tribute to Spacemen 3, this disc is hit or miss, but does features some nice covers by Low, Mogwai, Bardo Pond and others.

No apologies necessary...thank you for making this music available.

I received the disc last night and gave it a quick spin. I really dug the tracks I heard and will have a tough time identifying quite a few of these!

the Ayler Box on Revenant, the Bird / Diz live disc on Uptown, Nessa Warne March disc and the RVG of Adam's Apple, which I have never heard.

Wayne Shorter - Speak No Evil Wayne Shorter - Ju Ju Thelonious Monk - Monk's Dream Art Pepper - Hollywood Allstars discs 1 and 2 Morphine - Cure for Pain

I would also recommend checking out an excellent solo concert available for free download off of his website.

avatars can be deceiving. I actually look more like a can of beer. AfricaBrass - you must need a hell of a big litter box!

According to the online Coltrane Sessionography he did not.

Bobo Stenson Trio - War Orphans Bobo Stenson Trio - Serenity Ornette Coleman - Free Jazz Keith Jarrett - Up For It The Very Best of Cesaria Evora Radiohead - Hail to the Thief

EMusic "Plus" sounds a lot more like EMusic "Minus."

Thank you for the replies! I'll see if I can get the disc cleared up this weekend before heading to the store for an exchange, if necessary.

I just thought about playing a disc but then decided to play another disc. By mistake I placed yet another disc into the player, hit play, but did not actually listen to it, as I forgot all about it and left the room. Perhaps I should start a thread for this? Are you listening to me?

Sure, I'll check it out if you check out Jan Garbarek and Bobo Stenson's album Witchi-Tai-To and post a review in the Album of the Week discussions. sound fair?

I pulled out my Complete Bitches Brew set after not playing it for quite some time and was disturbed to find one of the discs skipping. I took it out of the player and found glue from the packaging on the surface of the disc. What is the safest way to remove this glue without damaging the disc itself? I'd really like to get this disc cleaned up and stored safely in a non-glue dispensing cd sleeve. thanks for any advice!

I had a Bobby Hutcherson (and ECM) marathon this weekend, among other listening: Hutch - Dialogue Hutch - Patterns Hutch - Components Hutch - Medina Keith Jarret - solo Bremen / Lausanne Nils Petter Molvaer - Khmer Jan Garbarek - Bobo Stenson Quartet - Witchi-Tai-To Reid Anderson - The Vastness of Space Tomasz Stanko - From the Green Hill Art Pepper - Complete Village Vanguard disc 5 Corey Harris - Greens from the Garden Ozric Tentacles - Arboresence

I really dug this disc after spinning it for the first time yesterday. I am really looking forward to giving it a few more listens and getting deeper into it.

great choice! as pryan said this will be a good excuse to give it a few spins this week.

ubu - great choice! I wish I owned this disc so I could participate. That VAO disc looks intriguing, too. I've recently started listening to Satie so I might have to try and track down a copy of that soon.

I read the AMG review and it does sound interesting. I'll have to check it out at some point. Yeah, the Ciccone Youth album would be no way to start comparing Sonic Youth to this disc. Not enough "guitar freakout" as I believe AMG says.
