    OK I am coming clean, I bought a Kindle HD firebrick thing and decided to down load good or the best they had of digital lies.
    Rats poo , it sounds very very good, so I will now eat my words about digital lies, yes Alan some was the piano and it to was goodish.

    Alex Harvey, B52`s, Phil Collins, Joan Armatrading, Fiddlers Bid and Dire Straits.

    Are you telling us that you think MP3s sound up with analogue???? 
  • Brain_DeadBrain_Dead
    No but, the file I downloaded where good big files not the poor MP3 I normally get forced upon me.
  • AlanAlan
    Nice one Col, I like some of your choices. For all the banter, I know that analogue can (but doesn't always) sound outstanding; @Jim's setup proved that beyond doubt. I'm glad you found the beginnings of a digital solution. Now you need to make it 'work' and make be a beta tester...  :P

    FWIW, I don't have a single MP3 in my music library, bar those Brandenburgs from the other year and some pink noise files. It's lossless all the way.

    Crooked Still - 'still crooked'.

    progressive Bluegrass (!) from Boston (!!) with cello (!!!), nice.

    WTF?!
  • uglymusicuglymusic
    Donald Byrd - Free Form

    Not what it says on the tin. Instead, a sort of cooler hard bop, if that makes sense.
  • uglymusicuglymusic
    Calexico - Convict Pool
  • chrisbchrisb
    Aswad. A New Chapter. Brinsley Forde on radio 4 discussing it, took me back abit. Good stuff.
  • uglymusicuglymusic
    Yeah. I remember seeing them on the stage underneath the Westway at Notting Hill Carnival as well as, I think, Birmingham University.
  • uglymusicuglymusic
    The Nels Cline Singers - Initiate

    Distinguished by the fact there's no one on vocals 
    :((

    But it does have a fantastic version of Weather Report's Boogie Woogie Waltz, if you care about that kind of thing ;-)

    Ambient Dub Vol 3.
    I thought that this one was a bit pants. But, it's not. It's actually quite good overall.
    :-)

    Is that a compilation?
  • DocfosterDocfoster
    Yes. Ignore the sub heading obviously. From the early 90s a time when such embarrassing drivel was still embarrassing, but somehow acceptable.
    It's a good series of LPs actually. The second one is my favouriteimage (listening to it now)...

  • uglymusicuglymusic
    It could just as we'll have been one of the hundreds of albums churned out in the 90s by Bill Laswell.
  • DocfosterDocfoster
    If you say so Dave...

    *Furtive glance to the audience, "Bill who...?"*
  • uglymusicuglymusic
    And you, a bass player!

    Bass player Dave.
    Not muso.
    ;-D
  • uglymusicuglymusic
    There's me thinking you were a muso....
  • uglymusicuglymusic
    Chris McGregor's Brotherhood of Breath - Live at Willisau
  • uglymusicuglymusic
    The Crusaders - Scratch

    The title track is an absolute classic. The rest is pretty good, too.

    I wish I'd seen them before they went smoother.
  • uglymusicuglymusic
    David Murray - Flowers For Albert

    Murray's early classic from the 70s New York Loft Scene. Now I'll have the title track stuck in my brain all weekend!
  • uglymusicuglymusic
    Miles Davis - Big Fun

    'nuff said ;-)
  • uglymusicuglymusic
    Cara Dillon - Live at the Grand Opera House (24/48)

    I doubt if I'll get all the way through it.
  • uglymusicuglymusic
    John Martyn - Live at Leeds and More

    Martyn with a great jazz rhythm section making uncategorizable music.
  • uglymusicuglymusic
    Paul Motian Trio - Lost in a Dream

    Another fantastic ECM recording. This time, live at the Village Vanguard.
  • uglymusicuglymusic
    Robert Wyatt - Cuckooland

    Wonderful music, beautifully recorded.
  • AlanAlan
    Cara Dillon - Live at the Grand Opera House (24/48)

    I doubt if I'll get all the way through it.
    I love Cara, but that recording isn't one of my faves ether!

    What would you recommend, oh oracle?
  • AlanAlan
    There is a self titlled album and one called 'after the morning', both of which are lovely. Very nice interpretations of some classics (Black is the colour), lovely original material and top folk musicians. She also has a glorious, clear voice.

    EST - Leucocyte

    Was:

    Ernest Ranglin - Alextown

    Now:

    Sonny Rollins - Alfie

    I love this, despite frankly, its lack of ugliness :-)

    Avram Fefer - Eliyahu

    I've raved about this musically before, but with the TQ amps it sounds breathtaking, too. There's some cymbal work that I hadn't noticed before, beyond it being a wash. I can now hear the nuances that help make even more sense of the music. 
  • uglymusicuglymusic
    Gil Scott-Heron & Jamie xx - We're New Here

    Maybe I'm being an old fart, but I don't think the remixes do much. I prefer the original.
  • uglymusicuglymusic
    The Lounge Lizards - The Lounge Lizards

    They may be dismissed by many jazzbos, but I like them. Their albums make me smile ;-)
  • uglymusicuglymusic
    Kazumi Watanabe - Mobo Club

    Japanese jazz/rock that somehow overcomes its glossy roboticness to make it an enjoyable listen (warning: Dave has his 80s hat on :-) )
  • uglymusicuglymusic
    Jack DeJohnette - Special Edition
  • uglymusicuglymusic
    Nat Birchall - Sacred Dimension
  • uglymusicuglymusic
    The Nels Cline Singers - Initiate (Studio disc)
  • uglymusicuglymusic
