I wouldn't had think about it.

From your avatar I suppose they could even play drums.

Welcome aboard. I have that Ascension, stereo, but I don't remember how much I payed for it. Not too much, surely less then 100 bucks, I never paid big money for Impulse!. No idea about the ESP. BTW did you know this site? If not check it out. http://www.popsike.com/index.html

Maybe, but they're making a lot of noise! Just for accuracy, technically speaking would be "rumble" and "wow and flutter".

But it worked, if one were able do get all the cards together. Risky business, like a lot of "artistic" job. To some extent it still works like this in Italy. Raising money for founding a movie is the thoughest job, often directors and producers are playing like this. To get a couple of well-known actors and a good screenplay, maybe from a well-known writer, is the insurance for the investors that they will not lose all their money, because they can sell the big names on the advertising campaign. Several years ago I wrote a screenplay, not a masterpiece, but a good one, according to the producers I contacted. At times I was a 'mister nobody' , now I am a well known 'mister nobody'. They wanted to buy the subject for a few bucks, I refused because I wanted to direct 'my' movie, so I hardly tried to get a famous actor as leading role by contacting his agent. I couldn't and the screenplay is still on the shelf. I am pretty sure that with the actor I would have had the money and my movie.

Sidenote At times at Hollywood it worked like this: the executive producer goes to the Jimmy Stewart's agent and say: I've got a big budget, I've got a great screeenplay of William Faulkner, Billy Wilder as director and Grace Kelly as star's role. Stewart's agent say: Wow, we are in. Then the producer goes to Grace Kelly's agent and say: I've got a big budget, I've got a great screeenplay of William Faulkner, Billy Wilder as director and Jimmy Stewart as star's role. Kelly's agent say: Wow, we are in. Then the producer goes to Billy Wilder and say: I've got a big budget, I've got a great script of William Faulkner, Jimmy Stewart and Grace Kelly as star's role. Billy Wilder said: Wow, I am in. Then the producer goes to William Faulkner and say: I've got a big budget, I got Jimmy Stewart and Grace Kelly as star's role and Billy Wider as director all I really need is a great screenplay. William Faulkner say: Wow I am in. At the end the executive producer goes to the Big Boss of the Studios and say: I've got a great screeenplay of William Faulkner, Billy Wilder as director, Jimmy Stewart and Grace Kelly as star's role, all I need now are the money. And he get the big budget...and the movie. I suspect I got this story from a movie or a book, I can't remember wich one. Maybe Altman's The Players? Elissa is more serious then this.

As we say in Italy: MERDA. (Yes, it's what you suspect, but it's the way the actors wish luck each others before the play.)

Chris, Dan asked something like that in this thread (to vinyl's fanatics), http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=37908 My thought, based on my knowledge, is that a very cheap system couldn't do a good job in converting vinyl into cd: too much variables in between: from the cartdrige to A/D converter. Now, if you have a decent audio system and a fair amount of vinyls in listenable condition my suggestion is to get a good entry level TT, maybe one of the ones I reccomeded to Dan. (you can get the links in the quoted thread). If you don't care at all listen to vinyl anymore, for whatever reason, (like Dan seems to do) my suggestion is to trade off your used vinyls with cds (new or used). The result in term of sound quality will be far better then any conversion you could do with a bad TT, a cheap cartdrige and a lousy A/D converters. And probably you'll get some good money from the trading. I mean that an used original Riverside record goes for ten times the price of a OJC used cd.

Jim, test pressing's number is growing.

Now that's the spirit! I see no reason for anyone here to hold Jim accountable for donations. Correct, but I can't see any reason because he shouldn't be refund for the debt he contracted for the board. Along the years Jim asked several times for donation in order to cover board's cost and, AFIK, these donations didn't so it wouldn't be such a great problem for me, if part of my donation would go in that way.

A couple of great collaborations among composer and director that produced some great soundtracks. Eleni Karaindrou with Theo Angelopoulos Goran Bregović with Emir Kusturika

Agree. And we all will become to some extent "producers". Like Chuck

The rehersal of 'ROUND MIDNIGHT (40') in Monk's Riverside box set is a Symphony to Silence

Agree.

'Tarkus', 'Emerson Lake & Palmer', and 'Brain Salad Surgery', in that order. If you like all of those, go back and get 'Trilogy' and 'Pictures At An Exhibition'. You won't need anything else other than those five titles. Live triple album was basically totally redundant and the Works stuff was utterly pretentious. Thanks. I should find cheap vinyls of them, considering their selling numbers. I'll look for them next time I'll go in my usual shop.

Them's fighin' words...not everything was great, but there were a bunch of classic ELP tracks. Sorry for the thread derail.... I can negotiate about "a (small) bunch of tracks", not more. You may start to name them, my lawyers will contact yours soon. Somewhere on the board we discussed ELP before, I can't find it. The quality declined as they released more albums. As usual with prog/rock groups. Sincerly, ELP, like Genesis, is a band I couldn't never get since my youth, regardless of musical quality... but 'Lucky Man' is a great song. That modular Moog solo rips. For me, that's one of the cool things about them, the latest and hippest equipment for the time. Yes, you're talking about music, I hated them personally. Just joking. Frankly I never listened to them carefully, at times there were so much music to listen to, (King Crimson, Traffic, Soft Machine, just to name a few) that I passed on ELP. Just in case I'll stumble in some of their records, wich ones do you suggest?

What's wrong with steroids, my wife is pretty happy with them...oh...wait...Are Viagra and Cialis steroids?

Thanks for the clarification! ...perhaps

Don Fabio, as they call it in Madrid, is a damn tough guy. I foresee hard times for Beckham's fashion advisers.

Jethro Tull THICK AS A BRICK Chrysalis. Now you may stone me. BTW, if some of the big guns sound engineers out there could get the same classy, punchy and clean sound of my copy, this would be a better world.
