Dogon A.D.

[couw]

I do own the vinyl, but would love to burn a CD without pops and clicks.

the mp3s are from a simple needle-drop. pretty okay, but still with some clicks and pops.

I do have a weakness for crunching rock-like riffs, and Abdul Wadud is the man. If you like this aspect of Dogon and bidness, you maight also check out the recordings of David Eyges and Arthur Blythe together. Ace, The Captain and Sky are all available on www.emusic.com.

Ain't it the truth. I've seldom heard a better reason not to have a bass around.

[David Ayers]

Justs listening to this one again. Pretty good, I'd say! A pity that it has never made it to disk (AFAIK - or have these tracks sneaked out as part of some other disk?). It is quite short, which may make it commercially unviable I suppose. Can anyone say how the three tracks of about 15,8,15 minutes were divided between two sides of an LP?

Thanks! The torture of not knowing is ended! Back to the Sudoku...

I just looked and this isn't available anymore - darn it, I wanted to check it out - oh well

Anyone know where I can get a copy of this?

I have an assignment to write about Hemphill and I'd really love to hear this legendary recording.

[Kalo]

Got one!

Thanks, Organissimo forums!

You are so welcome. But really, it was nothing.

[mikefok]

Try google and you will find it.

[skeith]

is this a download you are talking about ? If so how is the sound quality?

[Uncle Skid]

Sound quality seems very good to me -- I downloaded it from the link on the first post. MP3 ID3v2 tag info indicates it was encoded at 192 kbps, by "iTunes v6.0.1".

For the memory of Julius Hemphill, this really needs a CD release with the 20-minute "Hard Blues" as a bonus track from the same session.

that would make a truly monumental package, one of the greatest jazz CDs.

I emphatically agree to that!

I should listen to this again (I've only heard it two or three times), but my assessment is "very good album that has been elevated to masterpiece status because it's hard to get a hold of". Maybe I will change my mind with time.

I think it's definitely what it's been cracked up to be.

Nope. This one was a masterpiece even long before it became hard to get a hold of. Now, as I understand, it is relatively easy to find, and for a trivial price to boot.

There are several Amazon Marketplace sellers who are simply OUT OF THEIR MINDS!

There's one who not only overprices items, but fairly consistently sells their used copies for more than they sell their new copies.

Looks like there have been some re-pressings, Dusty Groove has this back in stock.

[Guy Berger]

I've been enjoying this album a lot - it's truly awesome - but it's fun to play the 1st track back to back with "Yesternow" from disc 4 of the MD Cellar Door box. After Gary Bartz, this was probably the next step!
