Thanks for the heads-up.

One of the best gigs I have ever been to, honestly...LP will be special!

One of the best gigs ever to coincide with my father's 80th birthday - hence I'm buying the LP as compensation for missing the gig. THe BBC broadcast whetted my appetite

No way I could resist this one. I have no reservations re Oto LPs, great pressings, wonderful cover art which I love !!! .

I have some concerns that newly recorded LPs we see issued these days are little more than CDs on LP with a nice cover. Oto price their LPs at a price that says , try me. So I will be supporting them too.

I agree re: Oto and the "CDs on LPs" (or MP3s on LPs) problem. Usually crappy pressings, too (Trost!).

An incredible performance and Marsh died less than a month later.

If I buy the lps and it is later issued on cd or dvd I will really be pissed. Anyone with connections, please pass this on.

If they did it....it would be a first that I know of. I think they're more interested in using the money to releases something new, or book musicians @ the club.

I've been particularly stuck on the Mysteries section: 4 tracks from 1990 with Urs Leimgruber & Fritz Hauser. Beautiful stuff. There's so much variation in that music, all kinds of groupings and styles spanning 1979-1990 with so many incredible players. I'm interested to hear these songs which are so engrained in my mind played by others.

Oto were very disturbed to learn that someone had said something mildly crotchety about them on the internet. While they seek an injunction to have the entire web closed down pending legal action, they have advised improv lovers to stay away from ALL Scottish Lochs.That last part made me wonder if they had maybe misheard what I was telling them, but I pass it on anyway.

Did they mean Scottish Lox?

Bloody horrible cover. Looks like an 'impression' of a switchblade to the gut,

Does the music resemble this?

Personally I like the cover.

I need to order this. I'm curious to hear how this music is approached. Topology is incredibly dense ensemble music, but the approach on Old Eyes & Mysteries, Oleo, Linear B revolves around small groupings. The material is so rich and enigmatic ... so there's a lot of potential here.
