I really can no longer abide by their cover art and fonts. I feel the same way about Intakt. This isn't about the music... the releases just don't look appealing to me.

oh, for sure. I am of mixed feelings about deleting posts/content. Sometimes, sure, there's shit that is just trolling and needs to go. But there's also loads of information that can fall between the cracks and get lost, especially if an account is closed. Then again, the internet is an extremely fragile place and we're losing content all the time, way more than a wayback machine can keep up with... so maybe it's best to just assume all of our statements, crazy as they might be, will disappear in due course.

The above is from Allen (hopefully it can just stand as it is). I missed the entire Remler thing.

Yep

Forthcoming/soon on Autonomedia: https://autonomedia.org/product/black-mystery-school-pianists-and-other-writings-by-matthew-shipp/ Some of these pieces I've read/seen, others are new to me and probably will be to you as well. Looking quite forward to it! The cover photo of a young Matt is something else.

Ah, gotcha.

Works for me. I too miss paul secor & am sad to see Soulpope go, but these things do happen. aloc, chewy, MG... all enjoyable presences here who I hope are well (as well) Hopefully we can all work to be less hot-under-the-collar on the internet. As I mentioned upthread, it's happened to me before too and I get it. Just not worth it imo. would be cool if Allen Lowe came back also.

Yeah, Juma has played it recently with AMS and announced the title, so now I know! I found the recording and it is of course unissued but also includes "Greensleeves" and is probably from the VV.

Good point -- I've certainly (accidentally) rubbed some non-English native speakers the wrong way on here before. All of it based in sarcasm and bullshitting but one person's bs is face value for another.

It's too bad when members feel they cannot post here because of certain interactions/dynamics, and it does happen from time to time. Hell, I almost split like 18 years ago (similar issues with a couple of board members) but am glad I stayed (and matured). The community is hella weird but a lifeline in a lot of ways. And compared to another music board I was on, far fewer assholes here than elsewhere.

glad you got to see those concerts! I still have fond memories of listening to the music and writing the notes. The CDs are boxed up in storage (one of these days I'll finish unpacking it all). $18 does seem high for a download, but if you buy it on a BC Friday (first Friday of every month), all of the money will go to James.

There's a street called Crispell over near Olive Bridge. Always wondered if that was related to her family. Will try to make the concert.

nope!

This Cherry/Lacy set from '65 is beautiful. Thanks for posting. I've heard some of the DC Atlantic but not the Lacy side.

good to know. I have a couple copies of the Incus solo (one with an Alan Davie print tipped into the cover), as well as the Jazz & NOW album (half solo, half duo with Fred van Hove).

I will say that while Brave blocks a lot of crap I don't want, its search function is far less tailored to what I'm looking for than Chrome. For example, as a train nut, I was looking up obscure locomotive roster information and Brave could not handle the request, while Chrome popped back with the desired results instantly. I guess I'll use Brave when I'm trying to watch uninterrupted YouTube videos, and Chrome when I actually want to find information.

Grim.

I'll admit I stopped trying to keep up with his output years ago. He's amazing, but I only have so much room, physically and mentally.

Yeah, I read this! Strange story indeed.

the Perelman/Sorey duets are good! thanks for the tip on Blacks' Myths, just gripped.

Sven-Åke Johansson -- Sings With Strings -- Ultra Eczema limited edition 12" pic disc all I can say is

Agree about the Jack Wilson collaboration. Clearly an influence on a lot of people. RIP. Anyone here read My Life in the Sunshine by Nabil Ayers? Pretty interesting book.

Interesting. I could never tell if those Fuel 2000 CDs were legit, but I guess the Muzak issue would be.

has that thing ever legitimately been reissued on CD? I have the old UK Freedom LP, but of course would love to have the Italian original on Togetherness Records.

Nice. The Soft Machine CD on Cuneiform from that club ("The Middle Earth Masters") is pretty intense as I recall.
