I'm sure I've seen that with a normal tasteful Impulse cover.

Maybe not, sorry. Maybe that's just Meditations.

_Rudipherous_, Tuesday, 30 August 2011 15:38 (fourteen years ago)

That picture doesn't even look like Trane (or is it supposed to be someone else?)

Geirge Hongriot (NickB), Tuesday, 30 August 2011 15:39 (fourteen years ago)

That was my 13th. Wonder if I'm the only one to rate it a bit higher than Meditations. This was the third after Oh Yeah and Sarah Vaughan in my top 40 to appear.

Fastnbulbous, Tuesday, 30 August 2011 15:40 (fourteen years ago)

well there's this one
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41V2819P8DL._SL500_AA300_.jpg
which is a later recording of most of the same material.
the "first" meditations (quartet version) was released posthumously, i believe. trying to get psychedelic...or something.

tylerw, Tuesday, 30 August 2011 15:40 (fourteen years ago)

First Meditations was released in 1978, I believe. Hence the crappy cover. Great record, though; fascinating to hear Meditations with just the unaugmented quartet.

The difference is that First Meditations was recorded 9/2/65, and Meditations was recorded 11/23/65 with Pharoah Sanders and Rashid Ali.

Never heard First Meditations despite ranking Meditations proper um, quite highly on my ballot. That cover stopped me from ever picking it up in record stores tbh.

Geirge Hongriot (NickB), Tuesday, 30 August 2011 15:44 (fourteen years ago)

i must admit im unfamiliar with it too

Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Tuesday, 30 August 2011 15:48 (fourteen years ago)

they're both great -- first meditations is better imo.

tylerw, Tuesday, 30 August 2011 15:50 (fourteen years ago)

Dudes. It's the very last recording made by the classic Coltrane quartet. Whether you think it's better than the later version or not, it's essential!

such a big album...I voted for this.

dubplates and monster munch (seandalai), Tuesday, 30 August 2011 16:00 (fourteen years ago)

i forget if i did or not. I cant remember my ballot at all so if there's a lack of 'i voted for this' it's probably because i forgot if i did or not.

Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Tuesday, 30 August 2011 16:02 (fourteen years ago)

That's the one Shorter Blue Note I haven't heard. I'm reasonably certain Super Nova is on my ballot, though.

deej will be chuffed to bits

Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Tuesday, 30 August 2011 18:03 (fourteen years ago)

Now that I've resolved my html problems, is there a way to see your history when listening to Spotify in shuffle mode or any mode) once you shift playlists? I just heard something cool with some kind of flamenco sound and castanets and a female vocalist and now I don't know what it was.

Actually I went to look at what it was and hit some button by accident which played something else.

Hipster Shake Boogie (James Redd and the Blecchs), Tuesday, 30 August 2011 18:05 (fourteen years ago)

last.fm?

dubplates and monster munch (seandalai), Tuesday, 30 August 2011 18:07 (fourteen years ago)

I don't have Spotify, but my guess is Mingus, "Ysabel's Table Dance"

Fastnbulbous, Tuesday, 30 August 2011 18:08 (fourteen years ago)

the advantages of scrobbling right here

Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Tuesday, 30 August 2011 18:12 (fourteen years ago)

Yeah, that was it. Thanks, Fastnbulbous.

Hipster Shake Boogie (James Redd and the Blecchs), Tuesday, 30 August 2011 18:14 (fourteen years ago)

Yeah, it's probably Ysabel's Table Dance from the awesome Tijuana Moods album. Also, Cosmic Tones for Mental Therapy is an awesome album title & probably Sun Ra's best.

Best album title or best album?

Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Tuesday, 30 August 2011 18:15 (fourteen years ago)

Both. :)

That Jackie McLean album is probably his best, too, imo.

The Not Liking Radiohead Awards (Turangalila), Tuesday, 30 August 2011 18:16 (fourteen years ago)

Cosmic Tones is definitely one of Ra's best. Ridiculously ahead of its time.
