Figured Id start this one fo yo asses....Mine was this




Chris Brown is a San Francisco based composer who stands firmly in the tradition of West Coast innovators like Terry Riley and James Tenney. Rogue Wave, his first CD in almost a decade, is one of his best —a startling retrospective spanning over twenty years of activity. Six dynamic pieces featuring a wide range of sound sources and compositional styles, from angelic choirs of electronically altered pianos, to hardcore hip-hop transmissions and polyphonic noise symphonies. This important new release places Brown at the forefront of new electronic composition, and finally sheds long overdue light on an important innovator whose work has been unjustly marginalized for years.

HERR | The Winter Of Constantinople

Steeped in tragedy and legionary heroism, this musical odyssey recreates the penultimate 1453 siege of the Byzantine capital beside the shimmering waters of the Bosphorus. A neo-classical cocktail of atmospheric keyboards, cello and pounding drums frolic alongside militaristic anthems about European imperium, hooliganism as modern warfare, vanquished heroes, Turkish hordes, architectural majesty and defiant optimism. The diverse lyrical styles and sheer breadth of instrumentation on this release make it one of the most original and captivating albums of the last few years.

Frank Zappa played the original version of Handsome Cabin Boy on USA Radio. Sung to ease the back-breaking work and fill up the long lonely nights with rowdy and profane entertainment. The booklet contains all the liner notes from the original mono LP which covers the history of the songs and the singers. Frank said (see notes - The Lost Episodes): 'When everyone else was listening to Cream I was listening to A. L. Loyd & Ewan MacColl. These were two old guys who used to record together, trying to replicate the original instrumentation of sea shanties. Some of the words were absolutely unbelieveable...I loaned the LP to Beefheart and he probably still has it'. Sonically cleaned and diigitally remastered

Huh? Oh... wait...

My first King Crimson album:

Hey BBP, if you're interested in improving your bass skills, I'v got scores of KC's "Three of a perfect pair". The bass part is not very difficult but the guitar parts are, its good for you hand dexterity. Give me a sign if you're interested. I've also got scores for "Vrooom", if any KC fan wants to have a look at it.

No, it's OK to listen to that, it's not really my cup of tea but he does well. It's more something that parents would listen to rather than 22 (soon 23) year old youngsters such as you. But I must admit that everytime I hear "Une belle histoire" it remains stuck into my head for days. It's supposed to be on the record you bought, track 5.





[Edited on 28-3-2006 by aquabot]

1st saw these guys years ago in their native GIBRALTAR, they were awesome and highly recomend this c.d--

I like Moroccan music too, a former girlfriend (haaa Naïma, I miss you ) made me listen to cool traditional music like for example: Abdelsam Cherkaoui (oud player), gnawa music etc...that's very good. Thanx to that I learned some scales with quarter tones they use in their music and apply them to the guitar.

I didn't know they had gotten together again, never really been a Frost fan though even if I possess To Mega Therion as any good metal freak should (I noly bought it a few months ago cause it cost 4€ ). I'm gonna check that new record out.

Absolute fucking legends man. Check out Into The Pandemonium too, a truly ground breaking metal album, absolutely timeless.....

Just pre-ordered





Zorn’s newest project is a hardcore song cycle scored for voice, bass and drums. This powerful rock unit features three of his most illustrious, longtime cohorts who have worked together in bands such as Naked City, Fantomas, Mr. Bungle and Electric Masada and are keenly in tune with Zorn’s language and aesthetic. Musicians are always at their best in Zorn projects and Moonchild is no exception. You have never heard these players as up front, on the edge or as inspired as they are here, raging through eleven pieces of terrifying intensity. Drawing on preverbal language and the primal power of rock music, this is Torture Garden with an alchemical twist—spontaneous, complex and evocative. Eleven new Zorn compositions executed with a ritualistic passion that will take your breath away.

Have you considered buying Merzbox with more than 1? I did that once, with my sister. (Now I got RHCP Californication which is now half the price it was then. Eventually my sister didn't like it anymore and said I could have it, mind you at the full price so I had to pay her.) Could work out.

I've just "acquired" this record and I'm really impressed, it's simpler than To megatherion and Pandemonium but it has more impact, in my opinion, perhaps because of the sound that is really good.

We don't have much positive experience with our insurance companies. Once, my bicycle was stolen out of the shed in the garden, which was unlocked at the time. The insurance wouldn't pay out because the shed wasn't attached to the house.

Really? i think mine was Oasis-What's the Story Morning Glory. The very first cd i owned was Billy Ray Cyrus-Some Gave All (because i used to dance to achy breaky heart at the of 5 or 6).

I think I'm listening to a live performance of pete townshend and roger daltrey in edmonton, alberta.

I definitely heard the overture/underture from tommy live, just now!!!!!
very exciting for me as if it is live an immediate gratification thing of a piece of music I've loved for over twenty years. To a hear new, even, right now, live version, for free, on the net, is fantastic. and then the two of them play a song about having some tea, growing old, just the two of them, 'feeling kinda sad'

Anyone unfamiliar with The Who Live at Leeds should check that out for sure:

they're doing it in conjunction with/for the 24-7 Who internet radio station they've launched. sirius.com, you get a free three-day trial. which means I can listren again on the tenth for them in Vancouver

it had me flippin and a floppin all over the place sunday when the bid doubled from $50-100k
with any luck, that's a record company's bid and we may see a pro-tool spiffed release of this for a 40th anniversary . . .

Firstly scally I feel like I must ask permission from our benefactors, the Ploegs as it's their webspace and all and also thank them for the graciousness of such a cool site for us to go on and on.
Thanx!
I mean, I think it's really wild that we all can sit and chat about whatever from opposite ends of the globe!!!!! It's crazy radical!
I feel like I should pay admission or something.
I want to invite you all over to my house and make some tea or coffee, pull up some chairs and invite everyone to have a seat and make yerselves comfortable. make small talk or play cards and then make dinner for everybody.

that's a great set!

Belly Button Window is a an all time fave

it's one of mine too.

Goj's still on the Zappa.com forum occasionally... he's probably too busy now to come here often. Shame how this place is running empty.

the only Rush album I know with a dragon on the cover is this:

if it's black and white it's either Presto:

or Permanent waves:

both are from the 80's

At 3 euros probably not!

Originally posted by aquagoat if it's black and white it's either Presto: or Permanent waves: both are from the 80's

it's cool to see you back Gojira.

the "token of my extreme", the 'new' recording
is 2:30 long and full of fart noises

gratuitously stupid to me.

stevies spanking is artificially inflated

the sound is good overall. crisp versions of dog breath/uncle meat. I love it anyway.

a special stinkfoot. Frank's voice is part of the time fed thru some effects pedal that makes the output sound like square waves, or there is extra crunchy reverb directly on his voice.

easy meat starts out the same and gets really great with the solo, especially with the synth lead up and 'outro' that goes on for awhile. Nice.

an extra short montana as told elsewhere, but then

the rest of the songs are extra long. the last four songs take up 37 minutes!!!!

the solo here in Inca Roads is extra special too and is closer to how Dweezil does Frank . . .

Room Service might be my favorite, just because it acts like it's not part of the regularly scheduled events

cosmik debris has a nice solo, real nice

and florentine pogen is the best available version. I prefer it to the one on One Size Fits All.

On a scale of one to ten, and understand this is a zappa scale (Nothing is gonna be less than 5 and some may get more than 10 . . .)
I'd give it a 6.5.

oh no, that's my more-real review for the dub room special cd following from the posts above it,

the zpz dvd I am very excited for. I expect them to see it when I go see them again in November. Of course it means I have to get the dvd player fixed . . .

technically the lastest cd's I purchased




sorry they're so big and thanx fer the help

Not bad, not bad... Not too big a fan of that kind of music video though...

Funny thing is those links take me to the French YouTube.

Hmmm... Max Romeo... Is that the album with Wet Dream? We heard that song too much when it was on the only tape in the car.

not wet dream,
but norman the gambler . . . used to ride 'round in a rambler . . .

what have you got on the brain?

That chorus... I don't understand much of the yrics, and don't need to. But that chorus annoys the out of me.

That'd be a cool idea!

You may have read on the Zappa.com forum I have gotten a large box of vinyl for free. There's lotsa different music in: Nana Moskouri, Vader Abraham, Gert en Hermien, Mozart, Bach, Handel, Chopin, Iwan Rebroff, various samplers, christmas songs... etc etc etc.

In the etc is very good material I've seen
soundtracks jesus christ superstar, staying alive, Ellen Foley and a few lovely 60ties collection with rare numbers and off course when a man......... Percy Sledge. And you never guess Bonny and Clyde

yeah, scallop I know what you mean. But it's just a persona, he's had a number of them over the years,
Hunky Dory remains a big favorite, so does Aladdin Sane. Live and Stages are interesting when compared with one another , being 4 years apart chronologically, or less, and rather different music from both, tho even some of the same songs performed.
If you're more interested in the earlier period, around Hunky Dory, try the 3-disc version of Bowie at the Beeb: live recordings for BBC, '67-'73, plus the third disc is a concert for the BBC in 2000 which is cool.
Most of my favorites of his, by now are bootlegs or rarer official releases. I have a couple of cd comps that I put together that I listen to with some frequency

I have those two Dolphy records!

and I have a digital copy of Frank's copy of "Three Hours Past Midnight" broadcast over the radio in 1968

I think I have that version of Stolen Moments too, I just can't find it right now!

What I need to get is The Rites of Spring and that hot lookin Ensemble Modern show with Octandre and all the other zappa stuff that Mr Green Genes put up the other day . . .

Meshuggah: Obzen.
Earth: Earth 2.

cool polyd!
I used to have those too a long time ago. Still like 'em, I haven't listened to LZ III in . . . it must be 20 years! I only heard Radio KAOS a few times back when it came out. It'd probably be good again, interesting insight perhaps in the situation here in the states. Don't think I've ever heard a whole Duke record all the way thru. Which is surprising as I think he's great on all the z records and there are a number of Dupree's Paradise type improv's I've heard that always knock me out. Just never have pursued it.
I got a bunch of things the other day:
Stan Getz/Charlie Byrd: Jazz Samba
The Replacements first ep on cd STINK "Kids Don't Follow" Plus Seven
The Clash's Sandanista! on a newer remaster
and two from the Bonzo Dog Band: Keynsham and the Doughnut in Granny's Greenhouse

LZ 3... is that the one I have with the kids on the cover? Not too big a fan of LZ... they bore me too quickly.

I guess Zappa's really made me spoilt!

III had a rotating disk with a bunch of individual odd items and images all over a white background, with the letters Led Zeppelin and three puffy roman I's. On the record you turn the dial and different images will appear in the holes cut in the front face of it. . . .


can I hotlink to a page here?
the ones with the kids is Houses of the Holy.
I listened to way too much Led Zep in highschool. They taught me a lot about blues music. "Led Zeppelin, the gateway-drug

I understand BB after getting into Zappa, Zeppelin can seem almost simple by comparison. But even I know that Zeppelin's greatness lies in the size of it. If you wanted to hear rock-n-roll, they gave an avalanche. For the 'Let the Sunshine In' crowd [], they gave a supernova. If you want a little fire, they gave volcanic eruptions of thunderous power. And so on.
Think BIG, CRUSHING.

Now something like Filthy Habits, Yo Mama or even Torture can have that kind of effect and done like nobody but Zappa. But I like Treacherous Cretins as well as any of Zeppelin's more airy, ethereal things. In The Light on Physical Graffiti is really nice. I just remembered I have much of a 9 cd set of Led Zep outtakes, live things and rehearsals. A big set. So this moment I listen to a 9 minute demo of Jimmy Page on acoustic guitar with Robert singing "That's The Way" from III. It must be outside because you can hear the effect of the wind on the microphone, there's a dog barking. Always liked that song. I listened to this record a lot in my freshman year of college . . .

Hair, yes. Age of Aquarius, yes. Whole Lotta Love, exact contemporary, big hit here.

I don't know many people who'd admit they have a 2 Unlimited CD... You must've raided the local CD-store!

these are all new to me. I've never seen or heard of any of them.
Not a clue what they sound like at all.
samples, maybe?

woah!
hahhhaaa!
that sent me down memory lane.
Not the same bands the same sound and tempo. mood of stuff many friends of mine over the years that listened to that sort of thing.
It's a road I can't go down anymore. It wears me out.

A 5 disc collection of 60's garage rock call "Trash Box."
It's basically all of the "Pebbles" releases in one set.

Mystery solved.

Some Kagel...
A vinyl copy of Cum Laude by Rick van der Linden (RIP)

And for my sis's B-day: some Dvorak and a a CD with the song in my prev post.

not sure I'm the most impartial witness, but it looks like Bonny's expressed at least three different opinions and they all show her knowledgeable and varied understanding. And you zombie have expressed the same opinion, at least three times in a row. Just the same opinion.

I say more, not less, opinion please, miss zombie.

Tool - Lateralus
Well, no one can say I haven't tried. This is my third attempt to get into Tool. Got Undertow when it came out, didn't like it, traded it in, got Aenima a few years ago, didn't like it, traded it in... maybe this one will stick, who knows. It was used and cheap, so no great loss if I fail once again. Why do I keep trying? Because I know there's something going on there, and I feel like I just haven't gotten it yet. Too metal for me perhaps, who knows...



Mogwai - Happy Songs for Happy People
Mil over at the zforum really likes these guys, so I decided to try them out (also used, cheap). Really like it so far - instrumental guitar soundscape type stuff, very richly textured stuff.

I will,

Must be terrible to have your collection split in such a way... I'm even annoyed by some of my records in another room!
What's in your collection? Aside from piles of metal?

dub, reggae, jazz, funk, classical stuff, hip-hop, trip-hop, progressive rock, contemporary stuff, brazilian music, afrobeat, etc, etc...
Yes, it's terrible having my collection split like that, but when I moved to live with my girlfriend I also had to leave most of my guitars and recording material, actually, I only arrived in that new town with all my clothes, one guitar and 10 cd's. But i hope I'll be able to get all my stuff here in 2009, perhaps this summer.

it's a japanese company that built this guitar, mine was black, it's a cheap guitar that I modified, I removed the original paint and decorated it for a friend who finally gave it to me.

Very nice! They look good too. Didn't your friend like your decoration?

Dylan and the Band - the infamous 'Royal Albourt Hall Concert'. It's as good as they say. Listening to this has been one of the great listening experiences of my life.
