i remember moving in reverse like -- i was into miles, and that miles album wasnt one i loved but got into that kind of kraut stuff in reverse (after seeing it compared to later miles) & finding it a bit 'simple' (lol jazzism) for me at the time ... like, i think i didnt get the appeal of the motorik style or w/e until later, i was used to the appeal of jazz soloists operating w/in the context of the groove rather than the groove existing for itself

doing weather report covers in jazz band initially scared me away from fusion ... i thought stuff like 'birdland' was sooo corny
― D-40, Thursday, 1 September 2011 22:57 (fourteen years ago)
which explains why i missed a lot of later herbie
yeah WTF with this Herbie record?!

little surprised to see it so high, but it is great. again, get that 2 CD warner recordings thing! it is the best.

It's the same group that did Sextant, right?
― dubplates and monster munch (seandalai), Thursday, 1 September 2011 22:59 (fourteen years ago)
just odd that I know the albums before and after this one, but never came across it. cover is very odd, kinda ugly...?
― I can feel it in my spiritual hat (Shakey Mo Collier), Thursday, 1 September 2011 22:59 (fourteen years ago)
yeah more or less same band as sextant.

oh didnt realize this was that early. yah i like this era
― D-40, Thursday, 1 September 2011 23:02 (fourteen years ago)
This album does tend to get overlooked yet is very highly regarded, but most people (rock crits/record collectors) go for sextant but dont delve into anything else from this period. Apart from the obvious big album that i wont mention incase it does/doesn't make it.

gonna assume both headhunters and sextant will show up here
― tylerw, Thursday, 1 September 2011 23:06 (fourteen years ago)
i probably voted for/own the entire top 30(or beyond) but i cba checking and instead i'll post the next one
― Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Thursday, 1 September 2011 23:06 (fourteen years ago)
one of my fave ever herbie anecdotes is from an old wire article on the mwandishi years where patrick gleeson was talking about trying to mix synths/keyboards into the band's sound for the first time and how he kept getting the mean mug from buster williams all night until someone finally took him aside and said "no one plays LOWER than buster in this band."

artwork looks like it should be on the side of sun ra's chevy van

xp I remember that Wire article - bought Sextant off the back of that, iirc the 2nd jazz album I owned.
― dubplates and monster munch (seandalai), Thursday, 1 September 2011 23:08 (fourteen years ago)
impressed how high that finished, henderson usually gets underrated!
― D-40, Thursday, 1 September 2011 23:12 (fourteen years ago)
page one must have been one of the first 60s blue notes i bought
― Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Thursday, 1 September 2011 23:13 (fourteen years ago)
page one was #7 in my ballot
― Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Thursday, 1 September 2011 23:17 (fourteen years ago)
not familiar with it, audio samples sound intriguing, so I ordered it for $3.

Indeed, I did vote Miles.

haha a helluva lot did
― Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Thursday, 1 September 2011 23:29 (fourteen years ago)
this might have been my #1, I can't remember
― I can feel it in my spiritual hat (Shakey Mo Collier), Thursday, 1 September 2011 23:29 (fourteen years ago)
yes, it was
― dubplates and monster munch (seandalai), Thursday, 1 September 2011 23:29 (fourteen years ago)
like OTC but glad it didn't place higher
― A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Thursday, 1 September 2011 23:29 (fourteen years ago)
it was
xps
― Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Thursday, 1 September 2011 23:30 (fourteen years ago)
never one of my favorite miles records
― D-40, Thursday, 1 September 2011 23:30 (fourteen years ago)
I actually assumed it would be in the top 10.
― shake it, shake it, sugary pee (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Thursday, 1 September 2011 23:30 (fourteen years ago)
yah a lil surprised it wasnt higher
― D-40, Thursday, 1 September 2011 23:31 (fourteen years ago)
me too. but I did say that a lot of albums didn't place as high as i thought would, and some didn't at all. Yet others were astonishingly high. welcome to an ilm poll!
― Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Thursday, 1 September 2011 23:32 (fourteen years ago)
im guessing headhunters didnt make :O
― D-40, Thursday, 1 September 2011 23:33 (fourteen years ago)
I thought about voting in this poll but I would of put all my points in Cosmic Tones For Mental Therapy and voted for nothing else
― that's cute, but it's WRONG (CaptainLorax), Thursday, 1 September 2011 23:36 (fourteen years ago)
I don't know if I would of been allowed to have only a single vote so I went away
I'd happily acknowledge that Miles made records as strong if not better than OTC but that's just the one that had the biggest impact on me and has the most sentimental value. I came across it at a time when my listening habits were really expanding and it intersected with a bunch of other things (McLaughlin copping the riff from Funkadelic's "Super Stupid" for ex). Most importantly, I've never grown tired of it.

― I can feel it in my spiritual hat (Shakey Mo Collier), Thursday, 1 September 2011 23:37 (fourteen years ago)
what can I say I just wanted it to place highly!
― I can feel it in my spiritual hat (Shakey Mo Collier), Thursday, 1 September 2011 23:38 (fourteen years ago)
oddly, maybe having my one single vote in this poll would of made the results more diverse
― that's cute, but it's WRONG (CaptainLorax), Thursday, 1 September 2011 23:39 (fourteen years ago)
this is a pretty diverse list and Sun Ra is already well represented tho
― I can feel it in my spiritual hat (Shakey Mo Collier), Thursday, 1 September 2011 23:40 (fourteen years ago)
A single #1 would have boosted Cosmic Tones from #105 to #73. Truly a missed opportunity!
― dubplates and monster munch (seandalai), Thursday, 1 September 2011 23:41 (fourteen years ago)
last thing we needed was more sun ra!
― Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Thursday, 1 September 2011 23:41 (fourteen years ago)
or do we?
I just can't understand why Cosmic Tones would hit #105I feel like if you put a bunch of jazzheads together you are gonna cut out the fringe listeners
― that's cute, but it's WRONG (CaptainLorax), Thursday, 1 September 2011 23:42 (fourteen years ago)
pete townshend voted for 100 of them
― Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Thursday, 1 September 2011 23:42 (fourteen years ago)
its kinda funny that people are saying sun ra placed so low
fringe listeners have diametrically different opinions than a jazz hivemind
― that's cute, but it's WRONG (CaptainLorax), Thursday, 1 September 2011 23:43 (fourteen years ago)
he suffered vote splitting im sure
if having nearly as many records as miles & trane counts as s'suffering'
