The first time I've listened to it over the Big Rig, and it's absolutely overwhelming! A fantastic slab of ECM soundstage with brilliant sounds from the Stavanger Fiddle and Electric Guitar, in particular.
If you want something a bit left-of-field this comes highly recommended.
there's a bit of a Nick Cave fest going on here of late
Not sure what's going on there!

Where should I start with the man from along the coast?
' "Begin at the beginning", the King said, very gravely, "and go on till you come to the end: then stop."' (Lewis Caroll, though I'm not sure why he's quoting Elvis!)

Two of my favourite keyboard albums of this millennium are by Taborn. I love Chants because it doesn't sound like Evans, Jarrett or even Cecil Taylor. It's a work of real originality. If you like piano trios, grab yourself a copy.
The Evans is just as you'd expect it to be. It's nice to touch base with him every so often.
Like John Coltrane, Ware is too all-encompassing and weighty to work to, but I woke this morning thinking of the great man, for some reason. I've had to give in and play some. This is one of his late solo albums.
I don't know how this would sound to you, but to me this is a wonderfully mainstream piece of free jazz, a record of a gig at the Stone, John Zorn's place in NYC.
This is free guitar jazz with no skronk whatsoever. All three musicians play intensely, yet almost quietly. I wish I'd been there.
