I used to have the VHS before my player packed up and now I only have a dvd so I sold the video. If you can get it try as it was quite nice to see. Worth a revisit I feel to include some of the new material available on the web via you tube to show artists from the various period from older TV shows.... Andy

do not worry I love 'im

got mine on order and cannot wait as I had the lps and then cd'd them and need an audio upgrade

the bad thing is people have started to wear them again...awful . A little like when they try reselling bell bottom trousers ...yuk! Get the message they were awful! I had a tank top actually when I was a kid that was knitted with a nice large telephone design ...I was of course mortally bullied for it and spent years in therapy afterwards so that whole thing is just a bit feaky to see on you tube again...should act as like a warning

I bet you still wear tank tops like Phil Collins used to ...ugh ...and to think they are getting a comeback over here. Frightful. You go and listen to the cassette and drift slowly off to sleep as its way way past your bedtime I expect If you cannot sleep you need to listen to more ECM records matey.Night night

This one

Dated as in the video not the song but come to think of it...yeh the song as well...What you need a timeless record like Robin Kenyatta's Girl from Martinique...there is a timeless beauty from your mate at ECM!

at least the USA i see is still holding its cultural end up somewhere I see. I remember that...of course you will remember that Phil Collins from the UK was responsible for that matey ....you being such a genesis fan and all.....here is dated and rather out of sync video to go with your cassette thingie http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=58cP8ktZ3Lk

A little nordic perhaps for your tastes? And as for cassettes...can you still buy them...wow Got some old ecm tapes if you want HAHAHAHA

nah ha made you look

Manfried Eicher produced that!

See where you live in France its looks cold but up here in the grim north those pictures look kind of tropical and warm from where I am sat (brr!)

Well now we all started being agreeable I might start being awkward! Only joking. What gets me is the diversity of what is on offer from the New Music to New World type of stuff.Mind boggling and very interesting if you have the time but even I do not like some of em. Mind there are a few Blue Notes and Prestige records that did that too! If in doubt try it out

andybleaden - veteran groover never 'eard of 'im as for the bbc radio 3 streaming thing...do not tell everybody....they all might listen! I wish they would podcast it as its waaaaay beyond my sleepy time some nights.would love to catch all of em. As for verity VS fiona there is always a debate between me and my mate as to why they have to do extremes of one ultra nordic ECM freak VS afternoon tea is Marakesh ...never a little of both. They do do some lovely folk stuff too...sometimes even "english"...Love it too bits actually ....got me back into ecm stuff when realised how much of it I had or had heard elsewhere. It was them who got me into Yann Tiersen...(non ECM artist who did Amelie soundtrack)

Picked up a great concert with him at Jazz Balltica on dvd from a tv broadcast.Really nice and compliments the ECM record well. I got this out of interest and I really enjoyed it

I think you know the answer to that question. Ignore him for the vacuum that he is and instead chill with the music instead. It will make him go away. By the way if you are in the UK BBC radio 3 play a few ecm artists on late Junction Mon-Thur at around 10.30pm

* Gyorgy Kurtag series deserves high praise, likewise Giya Kancheli, tho' his music in bulk can be troublesome. One of my very favorite ECM covers is a Kancheli tho'-- Trauerfarbenes Land

I'm always amazed about how old (-fashioned) some of you guys are. I cannot see the difference between home cookin and this: liek peas in a pod

Well that makes all the difference. Think its way past your bed time over there anyway! By the way black hole are unexplored and need to be examined in order to understand them however at this present time it appears as if you have already disappeared up into a dark hole of some variety

Sounds like you are testiculating (talkin' bollocks laddie!)about a record label that bring joy to me at least. As for any catalogue they have a history of prducing some lovely catalogues in the past. If they ain't of any interest to you-who cares? As for whether they are pretentious or not that I am afraid is in the eye of the beholder

Interesting about the break. Not really thought about that too much but he was not alone was he in having a blue note career break at that time. Still there is such a difference beterrn the two styles ...hmmm...might just have to nip down and pull out the two and do a time warp thing

yup got them and they are good LIke the clifford jordan one Worth a listen especially after seeing the you tube clip of him playing from that period for the TV show SOUL! that just made me very very happy to see

I also noticed in the Grant Green "Live At Club Mozambique" that there were like 3 days worth of sets recorded. And all we got was one 'lil ol CD of about 8 songs.

typical long winded waffly answer there : )
