The only other one I have is their first, I think. It's much better, as we've said in the past.
Are there any other of their albums which are as good?
'Until Such Time' is good. It's their only live album that captures the vibrancy of the performance that I remember. Well worth owning. It's quite hard to get hold of these days mind. The studio albums get progressively worse. So, the first is the best (and it's side 1 of that which is the better).
...amazing sound quality too. 1959...? I've ranted about this before, but what happened to all the good sounding studio equipment from this era? Was it destroyed in Vietnam or something...?!

I have the first and rediscovered it a couple of years back. Luvvit!
I was a bit scathing about this the other day, but having played it loud on the big rig this evening (I'd only played it in the office, or as background while doing other stuff), I think it's much better than I gave it credit for. But it's still not 80/81 ;-)
I wasn't sure how a trombone, organ and drums trio would work over the length of a CD - especially as I'm not a huge fan of organ trios. This is excellent, though.
Chris McGregor - Sea Breezes (Solo piano. Live in Durban, 1987)
Another fantastic chunk of live solo piano from the South African the world forgot. This one has just come out. Again, it's great to see this stuff appearing.
Never heard of him. And neither has Spotify, so I'll have to remain ignorant :-(
Well shame on Spoti. Freddy Fresh is a credible and highly serious musician, attracting the highest of critical acolades. Look here he is recieving such acolades from members of the musical intelligencia...
Dave, does Nik Baerstch attract this kind of class of fan base? I think not.
Amazed by this. I've never been much of a Stan fan, but this is really good, with the man sounding much better than his usual Monk on an off-day schtick. Although Monk is there, of course. Too much of a habit to give up?

This is where I normally launch into my blah about how fantastic anything by Atomic is. So I've done it again. Sort of. Go and buy some now :-)
We clearly agreed that it's just a whole lot of nothing...

Haven't listened to this for ages.
By gum, these guys are musicians.
1959...?

I know that I thought it wasn't much good before.
Do you have a copy?
I'll see if I can find a copy of Until Such Time.
Young Mr. Whitey here has never got to grips with the politics, but despite this shameful omission, I do enjoy the music.
Fleetwood Mac 'Mr. Wonderful'. White men can't play the blues...?
I believe they can, and have.
Fantastic set of compilation albums these. Can't really go far with the source material mind...
Well, I've finally got there...
interesting blends and beats...
Bit of a desert island disc for me. And -
Wow. I do like a decent concept album...
United Future Organisation, first album.
C'mon, any band that look this cool/wanky have got to be worth a listen... B-)

I think she saw a documentary or something.
It's a bit free form form for me. Cracking recording tho'.
This is really the canine's danglies.
