Late Posted June 24, 2003 Report Share Posted June 24, 2003 John Corbett's UMS Series reissued this one, and it flew under my radar. Has anyone here heard this one? The line-up looks good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFrank Posted June 24, 2003 Report Share Posted June 24, 2003 I grabbed it when it showed up on EMusic a few weeks back. Very enjoyable. I haven't listened to it enough times to rate it, but it's certainly interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Son-of-a-Weizen Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 Yes, listening to it now...w/Kenny Clarke & Barney Wilen. It's quite good imo and shouldn't be missed over at eMusic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave James Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 (edited) Yup, you'll not regret picking this one up. Like Lon, I got this from da bastids at Dusty Groove some time ago. A nice outing. Up over and out. Edited January 19, 2006 by Dave James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clifford_thornton Posted January 20, 2006 Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 wonder what that vinyl went for on eBay, Weizen? $$$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ep1str0phy Posted January 20, 2006 Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 I picked up a copy (up here) in Berkeley some time last Fall. Surprised by the "sound" of the music (considering the nature of the Unheard Music catalogue), not by the quality. Very enjoyable session--Klook always kicks ass.

Kalo Posted January 20, 2006 Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 I got this last year, and I'm sure it was a thread on this board that alerted me to it. It's an excellent, haunting record. One of the best soundtracks to purely listen to that I own. I'd highly recommend it, though I agree that it's anomalous as far as the UMS series "sound" goes. It's not "free" but basically a moody hard bop/soul jazz kind of thing. Cool to see the original cover above.Thanks, Son-of-a-Weizen!

Kalo Posted January 20, 2006 Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 Klook always kicks ass. Sometimes I think that Kenny Clarke is my all-time favorite drummer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brownie Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 The Mental Crueltysoundtrack is being reissued in vinyl by Sonoma Records : Mental Cruelty The LP includes the material that was on the original LP and most (two alternates seem to be missing) of the additional material that was on the Atavistic Unheard Music series CD from 2003!

king ubu Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 Vinyl and CD - but the CD has the same 18 tracks (the UMS had 21, so 3 seem to be missing, but I didn't compare). This time I won't miss it!Ah, no... seems to be vinyl one - weird. Couple of weeks ago when I saw it first, I thought it said CD and LP!

I picked this up for cheap used years ago not knowing a thing about it, except that Kenny Clarke was on it. I was pleasantly surprised.

Chicago Expat Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 (edited) The film never came out, right? I think the liner notes say something about it, but I don't have my copy handy. Anyone? There's nothing in the liner notes making a definitive comment one way or the other, but based on other things said in the notes, I would be led to believe that it did get released. Those liner notes are a great read, by the way. George Gruntz doesn't hold back. Between calling the director a womanizer, claiming that Kenny Clarke had trouble playing in 3/4 time, and detailing how the film company released the original soundtrack without telling (or paying) the musicians and how they had to hire a lawyer to sue the production company over it, well, it's one of the better sets of liner notes I've ever encountered. They could serialize it, and I'd read faithfully every week. Edited August 21, 2011 by Chicago Expat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
