yesterday at the megamall:

Manu Chao, Esperanza
some cheapo 2disc set of German folktunes
Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle OST
Best Of Eric Clapton

Dr C , I recommend you check out the Miles disc. No doubt Marcello or mark s can discuss it more eloquently than me, sufficient to say it's the under acknowledged bedrock of all that scratchy post punkfunk we know and love.

High on Fire - Surrounded by Thieves LP
Julia - Kathy Revisited 7"

brian- how's the 1978 disc?

at my beloved opportunity shop right next door to my house... a 7" vinyl 1968 copy of desmond dekker's the israelites for 10 cents.

Myra Melford's The Same River Twice - "Above Blue"
Yamamoto Seiichi - "Nu Frequency"
Augustus Pablo - "King Tubby's Meets Rockers Uptown"

Received in the mail:

Farid el Atrache: Eternal Songs, Vol. 1
Abdel Halim Hafez: Resala

The string sections on these Farid songs are getting to me a little. I think I like the stuff on Vol. 2 more, but it wasn't available. I don't like the chorus too much either. (So glad Oum Kalthoum mostly did away with having a chorus in the background.)

Borrowed from the library:

Murray ("Piranha") Perahia w/ the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields performing Bach Keyboard Concertos Nos. 1, 2 & 4
Eleni Karaindrou: Trojan Women

ooh i so want those LTM comps..

Yes you do Jim - and you can still get a free Crispy Ambulance live CD with Black Music if you order it soon (they appear to have sold out of free the Section 25 CD that was given away with initial copies of The Night Watch).

Because I compiled that list from my on-line order history at various places I managed to omit one of the - if not THE - best album I've acquired recently:

FourFathers - Dust

I'd start a thread about The FourFathers and their incredibly talented and verstaile bass player Benjamin Horrendous if I thought there was a reasonable chance that anyone else here had heard of them and might contribute to such a thread rather than leaving it to sink slowly and ignominiously to the depths.

Everyone who likes good experimental rock music - especially Captain Beefheart - really should give them a try 'though: http://easyweb.easynet.co.uk/~bgwaters/Mymusic.html

Then, maybe, when you've bought all the albums (tell Ben I sent you if you are ordering anything btw!), we can have a proper thread about them, eh?
