| Hey, I got your reggae comp, | Dave_G
Jun 17, 2003 6:05 AM | | is that from your collection?
If so, not bad, not bad at all.
Dave |
| most of it comes from my collection.. | Jar
Jun 17, 2003 6:31 AM | | Though I wish I had all the source albums.. I did borrow a few tracks from other folks.. unleasHell sent me some Mikey Dread, got the new Ben Harper track from Finchy.. a few are from V/A samplers.. I think I have as many V/A reggae discs in my collection as actual albums.. I also didn't go to my vinyl for this one, as I did for the prior comps.. I just didn't have the time. Glad you like it.

Jun 17, 2003 12:19 PM | | Great album -- no matter what you call it.
The "TOUCH" CD is awesome; I have the MFSL version.
In an older interview with one of the top brass at MFSL, he named this disc as one of the best 3 the company ever produced. |

Jun 17, 2003 6:12 AM | | Brian Wilson presents Pet Sounds Live. How 'bout them Wondermints?!
Rooney - power poppy with alternative sensibilities. First track shows a lot of promise (Beach Boys/ELO as someone - J, I think - mentioned a week or so ago) but then the remainder of the album doesn't quite seem as strong, but I'm sure it'll grow on me.
Kraftwerk - The Mix - wow, this sounds awesome. Can't wait to road test it.
John Fogerty - The Blue Ridge Rangers

| This: | Dave_G

Those synth passages are excellent on this clear as a bell remaster.

Jun 17, 2003 8:57 AM | | Yup, played the stripes off it. Kinda took me by surprise really. My best "old" music discovery since BJH. Are Zebra's other releases any good or was this a one hit wonder thing? |
| been a lean week | richmon
Jun 17, 2003 9:16 AM | | Lean listening times lately, but these are new:
Nick Drake 'Way to Blue'
It's a beautiful day S/T -time has not been kind to this oldie.
Moby Grape 'Best of' -way too much filler on this two disc collection, but lots of goodies if you're into that San Fran sound of the 60's. |

Promise to take notes and give a complete review, however, regrettfully I'll be missing Magma's set, Saturday's headliner, so I can attend my niece's graduation party. We're supposed to be shunning things french anyway right? Is Camel playing in your neighborhood after this festival? |
| Missing Magma? | Dave_G
Jun 17, 2003 11:39 AM | | Boy that sucks, they use three Mellotrons AT THE SAME TIME during concerts!
Or so I hear.
Yes, Camel is playing here July 2 and I can't wait, I like that music a LOT.
PG played here last night but I didn't go, too $$$$$.
Please do file a report on NF.

| re: TOONZDAY - stand and be counted.. | Demetrio
Jun 17, 2003 9:20 AM | | Hey, Jar, hope you like something in that comp!!
As for my week's listening:
PORCUPINE TREE Coma Divine (2-CD, REMASTER)
SYLVAN Artificial Paradise (awesome album, like I mentioned below)
NEKTAR The Prodigal Son
DOVES The Last Broadcast
PLATYPUS When Pus Comes to Shove
CUSCO Apurimac II (thanks PwrPopGuy for turning me on to this great stuff)
CUSCO Ancient Journeys
CUSCO Inner Journeys
3RD MATINEE Meanwhile
LEONARDO "The Absolute Man" soundtrack
SHEILA CHANDRA Weaving my Ancestors' Voices
Demetrio. |
| Leonardo the man | DarrenH
Jun 17, 2003 9:36 AM | | I really liked that soundtrack from Trent Gardner. If you liked that check out Trent's other project group The Explorers Club. The first CD is pretty good. The second Explorers Clud CD entitled Raising The Mammoth is not quite as good but worthy of a listen.
I prefered Playpus' second CD Ice Cycles over Pus Comes To Shove. Check out The Jelly Jam if you haven't already. They are essentially the same band minus Derek Sherinian. The Jelly Jam has a new CD coming out very soon too!
What did you think of Nektar's The Prodigal Son? I liked it better than Down To Earth. Blech! Remember The Future will forever be Nektar's masterpiece.
Cusco eh. You must be liking them. Tell me more.
Darren |
| Do you have Steve Walsh's "Glossolalia"? | Dave_G
Jun 17, 2003 9:51 AM | | It's got Trent Gardner all over it and rocks very hard.
Dave |
| Leonardo, etc... | Demetrio
Jun 17, 2003 10:19 AM | | Hey, Darren, needless to say I got that Trent Gardner cd based on one of your great comps, "Theater's Project". Thanks for the additional suggestions, I will keep them on my want list.
The new NEKTAR cd was a very pleasant surprise to me, I didn't really expect to get such a great album. The opening track is just awesome, and the rest of the cd is also on par with that great tune too.
As for Cusco, it's kinda newage stuff with ethnic (Andean) elements, if you like this sort of music you'll surely enjoy Cusco too. It's curious to notice that, even though the music of Cusco is typically Andean (Peruvian), and that Cusco is in fact a city in Peru, the group is from Germany.

| slim listening but good stuff | tentoze
Jun 17, 2003 9:50 AM | | Was in the wilderness all wk-end, which is when I usually get the most time for listening, but:
(not recalling titles right now) The Sadies (great stuff), Badly Drawn Boy (good stuff), The Corals (more good stuff), Tori Amos (the jury is still out-stuff), Spoon (more good...)- thanx to the Northern neighbor who sent these.
Decemberists' Castaways & Cutouts is still jumping on the ceedee player a lot- this one is bound to be on my year-end list of favs- fantastic. Damon & Naomi with Ghost is still knocking me out too, even if it is 3 yrs old to the rest of the world.
Davey's Twilight comp is full of dang good stuff (no surprise there).
And some more that I forget.... |

Jun 17, 2003 1:20 PM | | Ah, Pink Floyd's Animals. Perhaps my fav Floyd release. I see the lettering on yours is as faded out as mine.
How is Elton's Caribou? I thought that was one of his stinkers. Maybe I'm thinking of a later period. His mid 80's stuff had a foul odor.
I almost bought that Geddy Lee. Glad I didn't. |
| Pinky Lee | Troy
Jun 17, 2003 2:48 PM | | Pink Floyd- Yes I had a terrible fading problem in one of my old apartments. All my early CBS/Columbia CDs with the white edges and the bold red writing are all faded, some almost unreadable.
Caribou is good! Funny you mention it being a "Stinker" as that's probably my favorite track on the disc. It's from 1974 and is the first EJ album I ever bought . . . on 8-track in 1974. As an insolent 13 year old I thought "The Bitch is Back" was the height of edgyness.
That Geddy Lee is just lame. It's not even that it's awful like a Bert Convy album. It's just so safe and boring. |

Jun 18, 2003 8:46 AM | | Very diverse list for being so short Ed. Classical to Italian prog to Jazz to Heavy Metal.
That PFM CD is excellent. Their first release, Storia Di Un Minuto, is equally fantastic. In fact, I prefer it over Per Un Amico. And should you want more PFM, check out L'Isola Di Niente. Pardon me if you already know this. I'm just throwing stuff out there.
Seventies Italian prog was a great discovery for me, thanks to Demetrio.
Darren |
| Want more? | Demetrio
Jun 18, 2003 10:32 AM | | There are three new comps on the way to you, one of them featuring some more Italian prog (together with some French prog stuff too). Some bands featured in this specific comp I can recall: Il Balletto di Bronzo, Locanda Delle Fate, Nuova Era, Ange, Carpe Diem, Memoriance, Eclat, Versailles, among others.
I got another Banco cd few days ago that I do recommend to you: "Io Sono Nato Libero". Also got "Come in un'ultima cena", but didn't have a chance to listen very carefully to it enough to give you a definitive impression yet.
Demetrio. |
| Always looking for more. | DarrenH
Jun 18, 2003 11:43 AM | | Thanks Demetrio. I look forward to it.
I tried ordering that Banco CD several months ago from Lasers Edge. It was the limited edition digipak gold remaster. Lasers Edge later told me that it was out of stock and to this day, have never restocked it. That bummed me out. Anyway, I was going to order it from CD Universe but was unsure if this was the digipack gold remaster. Is your copy the digipak gold version, and if so, where did you order it?
Darren |
| Always looking for more. | Demetrio
Jun 18, 2003 12:02 PM | | Not the remaster, Darren, mine is the old normal edition and I got it on a trade. Let me know if you need a cd-r copy if it's too hard to get the original edition over there.
Demetrio. |
