Perfect music, don't really want to say it's better than the studio record but it's close to it!!

It sure is!! Was also at the last stop for a price that was low enough that I couldn't say no!

...and, god, here's the rest of the spoils (both mine and my wife's, try and guess whose is who's!). Used up all of my karmic record good will today I think, not to mention my money! (2/2)

Went on a record store crawl and, in the last few minutes that the last store was open, I found this and immediately said "oh my god" out loud twenty times. Still kinda shaking, still kinda feel like throwing up, one of those sets I assumed I'd never see let alone own (1/2)

Hi again, here's some things I've been listening to. They're all particularly beautiful and have been great companions over the last harrowing few days

Gonna keep trying to move over here more. Been listening to the Graham Lambkin Solos box set over the last few days and I've been having a really beautiful time doing so!

Hi all, popping back in to share my ridiculous haul from the local record fair today. A store I never am able to get to often gets scary collections and it just so happens the collection this time was pristine ECMs, including the genuine shocker at the end

I had an uninterrupted chunk for the first two pieces, but it does work wonderfully as three individual discs/four individual works as well

Definitely!! Second track reminds me a lot of Drive By and Sex in that it sticks to it's core theme while all sorts of things ebb and flow around it, but it has a particularly beautiful swell towards the middle

poking in to this JAPO Joint that I've been curious about for a while, another in the long line of "lets just play some songs written by Carla Bley" records. This one shifts between prickly amorphous shred and subtle, spacious ambiance. Good stuff!!

now Swooning; I had a real burst of Steve Kuhn energy ages ago but I haven't dug back in to any of his work since then - deftly ebbing/flowing between new age cascades and string-snapping force. Almost Cecil Taylor-esque in glances! A stunner!

if you're thinking like this you're just kinda letting them win already
These days, whenever I see a 2026 release date attached to a piece of media, I’m like, “I admire your optimism.”
