I only have an MP3 of the title track but it is awesome...one of the best ECMs.

Where should I look, within the the ECM catalogue, for other cool laptop fusion as in this year's Jon Hassell album?
― Deliquescing (Derelict), Thursday, 12 November 2009 18:40 (fourteen years ago) link
the second side of that preister isn't as good. i mean, it's cool, but a lot looser and not as funky.
― jaxon, Thursday, 12 November 2009 19:27 (fourteen years ago) link
i'm curious about this album: cuz i love the cover basically. but also cuz i see it described as jazz/krautrock.
It's excellent
― I Poxy the Fule (Tom D.), Thursday, 12 November 2009 19:29 (fourteen years ago) link
cool. i will listen. i just got a TON of ecm stuff i've never heard, so i'll report back.
don't have a copy anymore, but i remember digging this record. i'm not a braxton expert either, so don't know where it rates for his fans.

One more recommendation for Valentin Silvestrov. Specially for Leggiero, Pessante. The Postludium pieces are gorgeous.
― Moka, Thursday, 12 November 2009 19:42 (fourteen years ago) link
2nd the upthread recommendation for marion brown "afternoon of a georgia faun." it's great. mellow, twinkly improv.
― ian, Thursday, 12 November 2009 19:47 (fourteen years ago) link
Thanks Moka. I'm going to gradually pick up the whole lot, but it's good to know where to lean my ears.
― krakow, Thursday, 12 November 2009 19:48 (fourteen years ago) link
halfway through that Dauner. i wouldn't call it jazz or kraut. it's weird improv. electronics, tuned drums. maybe a trumpet?
― jaxon, Thursday, 12 November 2009 19:55 (fourteen years ago) link
ok, just got to a more 'traditional' jazz song w/weird keyboard soloing through some ring modulator.
― jaxon, Thursday, 12 November 2009 19:59 (fourteen years ago) link
Jan Garbarek's first album for the label "Afric Pepperbird" is pretty damn good too.
― WARS OF ARMAGEDDON (Karaoke Version) (Sparkle Motion), Thursday, 12 November 2009 20:06 (fourteen years ago) link
scott that circle album is awesome and, from what i know, highly regarded among braxton fans
― mark cl, Thursday, 12 November 2009 20:09 (fourteen years ago) link
my favorite ECM joint tho, w/o doubt, is dave holland's conference of the birds:

― mark cl, Thursday, 12 November 2009 20:10 (fourteen years ago) link
braxton's on it too. one of my favorite jazz albums prob
No doubt, Conference of the Birds is a truly great record from start to finish.
― WARS OF ARMAGEDDON (Karaoke Version) (Sparkle Motion), Thursday, 12 November 2009 20:13 (fourteen years ago) link
hey, i like it a bunch too. let's start a club! i hope i still have a copy of that cuz now i want to play it.
― scott seward, Thursday, 12 November 2009 20:18 (fourteen years ago) link
the second half of that dauner record is def more jazzy and totally sounds like alice coltrane or sun ra when they're doing the wammy thing on their organ a LOT.
― jaxon, Thursday, 12 November 2009 20:52 (fourteen years ago) link
conference of the birds is dope imo.
― ian, Thursday, 12 November 2009 21:27 (fourteen years ago) link
and i've never listened to the Circle LP despite seeing it around all the time. my fave braxton is "Creative Orchestra Music".
― ian, Thursday, 12 November 2009 21:28 (fourteen years ago) link
I've always wanted to hear that Marion Brown album.
On the ECM new music tip, seek out all the discs they've published of Kurtag's music. Especially Kafka Fragments and the disc of string quartet music played by the Keller Quartet.
― Durian Durian (Jon Lewis), Thursday, 12 November 2009 21:52 (fourteen years ago) link
i dunno if you listen to rekkerds jon, but i see the marion brown LP around a lot and it's cheap if it's the US pressing--and still affordable as a german pressing.

xpost Pretty much all my listening is at my desk at work on headphones, so i pretty much only listen to vinyl if it's been digitized. I can probably google up a link for that LP if I put my mind to it.
Someday, if I'm ever a fancy-schmancy work-at-home writer type again, I'll get back in the vinyl game...

listening now to:
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41VJ4RJEGAL._SL500_AA240_.jpg
dreamy proto-new age stuff. pretty. would pair well with a mellow sativa high. possibly a korean skunk or afghani blend.
― scott seward, Friday, 13 November 2009 16:03 (fourteen years ago) link
on another point, i gotta say this label's cover art is better than ever imo.
― jØrdån (omar little), Friday, 13 November 2009 16:07 (fourteen years ago) link
finally heard a d/load of that dave holland/derek bailey duo that i mentioned in my January 2004 post (christ) - it's absolutely stunning, holland kinda mirrors bailey's sounds and moves so that at times it's nearly impossible to distinguish the instruments - def. one of the albs most deserving of a cd reish
and of course pl add my name to list of the conference of the birds lovers, love sam rivers as much as brax

great nervous energy on this. would pair well with a heady indica strain. perhaps a hong kong kush.

Saw this thread the other day and it made me think, "I should check out my local shop's used ECM vinyl section." There are a lot of records in it. So I picked up this, one side of which I really like.

this record is crazy. don preston on synthesizers and drum machines and michael mantler on trumpet. half of the time the drum machine sounds broken with really dark washes of synth. sometimes the synth is doing more standard arpegios and stuff. it almost sounds like a mix of a goblin soundtrack and supersilent.

speaking of Gary Burton , saw some Gary Burton thing on Vanguard at the rekkid store tonight ... A recording of a Carla Bley libretto? with like Gary Peacock and Coryell ... and also I think Steve Lacy? wait, why didn;t I buy this again?? oh well, sure it will be there tomorrow should I choose to go back

VG+ copy, 8.99
suppose I should grab it
― Stormy Davis, Saturday, 14 November 2009 07:37 (fourteen years ago) link
never seen it before, also Reckless does grade really conservatively, I'll head back and take a look ... as i don't see any cat scratch stuff i will probably just grab it
― Stormy Davis, Saturday, 14 November 2009 07:39 (fourteen years ago) link
i'm gonna have to light up an old fusion thread soon. bought a ton of records and got lots of 70's fusion stuff i've never heard.

got in a copy of the enrico rava quartet album with roswell rudd from 1978 and was gonna price it and put it out in the store, but i really like it! so i think i'll just keep it. very cool mix of trad and less trad sounds. already played it three times today.

i've been obsessing over certain strains of ECM over the past couple weeks. just went digging through a roommate's bag full of old jazz CDs, among which were the following ECM cd's. needless to say I'm very excited.
John Abercrombie - Cat'n'MouseJohn Abercrombie - The Third QuartetJohn Abercrombie / Ralph Towner - Sargasso SeaDave Holland Trio - TriplicateDave Holland Quartet - Dream of the EldersDave Holland Quintet - Not For NothinDave Holland Big Band - What Goes AroundCharles Lloyd - Voice in the NightCharles Llod / Billy Higgins - Which Way is EastPaul Motian / Bill Frisell / Joe Lavano - I Have the Room Above Her

having come back full circle to what i was into when i was 14, Bright Size Life being my favorite piece of music for a good year when i first started getting into jazz, I never knew anything about hte label it was on. i'm feeling pretty fucking great in early 2011 walking around in the freezing cold with ECM records like that and others in my earbuds
― surfboard dudes get wiped out, totally, Tuesday, 25 January 2011 01:56 (thirteen years ago) link
the liner notes to the Higgins / Lloyd double disc are so wild. it's a transcription of a conversation between the two, the CD was released a few months before Higgins died, and it's eerily poignant and bittersweet. two old friends talking about all the shit they've done and Higgins saying, "here we are, on another plane now".
― surfboard dudes get wiped out, totally, Tuesday, 25 January 2011 02:13 (thirteen years ago) link
i love those frisell/motian/lovano records. don't know much holland or abercrombie stuff, but they're both dudes i plan on getting around to.
― tylerw, Tuesday, 25 January 2011 02:45 (thirteen years ago) link
Yeah man, so far the Motian one is my favorite. I'm trying to get It Should Have Happened A Long Time Ago by the same trio next.
― surfboard dudes get wiped out, totally, Tuesday, 25 January 2011 02:57 (thirteen years ago) link
my fave by them is "sound of love" (which might just be under motian's name, but is a trio rec with frisell and lovano).
― tylerw, Tuesday, 25 January 2011 02:58 (thirteen years ago) link
im feelin BITTER FUNERAL BEER so hard right now, definitely one of my ECM faves
― 69, Monday, 28 February 2011 22:35 (thirteen years ago) link
I just scored a bunch of dollar ECM records... some Keith Jarrett solo joints mostly. Also a Collin Walcott solo record, had no idea the dude was in (the band) Oregon!

Not sure what I think of this record; need to make more of an effort to give it the attention it (probably) deserves. Some of it is definitely great, but after a few listens while working I haven't absorbed much from it. Hopefully this is a good sign.
