L'Infonie, a weird French Canadian prog group, did a version too.

Austin & grawlix, I've been finding things to check out through your posts--on the basis of things I've had 30, 40, even 45 years that you are checking out now that you list as successes. So thanks for that, I'll take a chance on things NOT in my collection that you've picked up. Now, I don't think I would've picked up Fugazi & Abdullah Ibrahim or Alice Coltrane on the same trip, but if I recall, the last (only) time I've been to Amoeba & Rasputin in Berkeley, I came away with equally disparate choices.
I have the unique perspective of having bought many of these (on this entire thread) in LP, cassette, and CD--haha, I never got sucked into mini-disc format!!!!
The last several years, I've been in paring down mode, selling off cds as I digitize. Maybe some of my recycles will end up in your hands (though I'm in Michigan, so...)

Cool! Glad to hear it.
Sadly, I did get into minidiscs in the early 2000s.

Indeed, nice to hear.
Just got a copy of Sunn O)))'s Oracle in the mail - bought it on Discogs for $25. It's not easy to come by on CD; the 2-disc version (the one I got) was only 2000 copies, made specifically for an Australian tour in 2007 or so. It's great, though; the main disc is two long tracks that sound like their tribute to Einstürzende Neubauten (James Plotkin plays jackhammer!), and the bonus disc is a 48-minute montage of live clips. It's one of their least-known releases, but one of my favorites.

I’ve pre-ordered the new King Crimson 3CD/1Blu-Ray live thing. I saw the tour; it was good.

I liked the tour too. But why on earth didn't they play "21st Century Schizoid Man" in Berlin?

Got back in the game yesterday. . .

LPs:Jon Lucien — Song for My LadyJon Lucien — RomanticoBobby Hutcherson — Un Poco LocoAbdullah Ibrahim — Black LightningWeldon Irvine — The Sisters
Jon Lucien's super dope. I remember in the early 2000s, places like Turntable Lab and Dusty Groove were really gushing over some reissues of his. I vaguely recall finding a copy of Song for My Lady at a Salvation Army around the time and checking it out. I remember it being nothing like it actually is. I was way more into early Cure and Radiohead at the time.
