  1. I had fun playing tracks from Ask the Ages on DJ gigs when I was able to do that before COVID. In that instance, vinyl was certainly a plus.
  2. mine has been shipped to New York, will probably be waiting for me at the new pad when I go up there this weekend. preordered the Taylor, Russell v.2 and of course the Rendell/Carr, looking forward to those as well!
  3. ah gotcha. reddit is not really the place I would go for record talk; I get the feeling that a lot of people in those threads are new to the format and often don't have the right equipment. Just a hunch, however.
  4. Mine sounds great. I have had no issues with the Hive Mind pressing. The VMP reissue is different -- original cover art, red vinyl, 33 1/3 rpm rather than 2x 45.
  5. I wouldn't call those guys official. I did get confirmation this morning from one of his regular collaborators, however. He passed on Sunday night.
  6. still haven't seen official confirmation.
  7. who's towing the free improv line out in Kazakhstan?
  8. yeah, I know, it's great though!
  9. yes, the post-Roy Nu Band. That was awesome. I came down with the flu the next day, really awful and one of the worst bouts of it I ever had -- glad I made it through the night!
  10. Shit, that's sad news. Great player! His wife, the clarinetist Rozanne Levine, passed some years ago. She was a hell of a musician too.
  11. Gotcha; creditors are believable.
  12. did the masters go to the artists who then sold or licensed them to certain labels?
  13. yeah, me too. Been curious about it.
  14. Derek Bailey -- Duo & Trio Improvisation -- (Kitty, JP)
  15. grabbed 'em yesterday but haven't listened to the downloads yet. Intrigued.
  16. I think I bought 15 things today. I tend to splash out since I am not seeing shows or doing much of anything for myself these days!
  17. ooh, will have to check that although I already sprung for too much on Bandcamp today.
  18. those are both excellent. Really love the Clark Memorial especially.
  19. Fifteen Saxophones, on Northern Light/Wergo, reissued on Unseen Worlds (w/ liners by yrs truly) Having Been Built on Sand, a collaboration with Lawrence Weiner, which is also going to be reissued along w/ Solos and 4 Cuts Solo (CD from 2006)
  20. Dickie is a longtime friend so it's great to see this stuff coming out again indeed.
  21. there's an 80s repress of the LPs.
  22. yeah, to me this is a level up on Black Bone.
  23. yes. I love the original but having blasted the transfers on headphones, it's ridiculous how good this stuff sounds. I am hopeful that at the pressing stage this good fortune continues.
  24. ah I did not see it on youtube. reissue comes straight from the master tapes and sounds fabulous.
