Downloaded an archived show from last Sunday on WMSE (http://www.wmse.org/) to listen to at work. WMSE may be the greatest radio station ever, (2nd to Bass On The Broadband) they have an eclectic schedule covering all genres of music. And they play stuff you have never heard AND spin a whole lot of vinyl! The show that I downloaded (free downloads in their archive section) was The Modern Chamber, a classical show with a bit of a spin, playing the likes of Edgar Varese, Giacinto Scelsi and others. At the end of the show the DJ played Ralph Vaughan Williams - The Lark Ascending. We all know the power of music, this song transcended into my soul and blew me open. I am trying to find out who performed the version they played, there is a bunch on YouTube, the one I heard was just violin and piano. The tone of the violin was delicious. This is close to that version; tune in, close your eyes and soar! http://youtube.com/watch?v=3b0rN43q6jo | ||

Let's see . . . . . 'Bakersfield', Vince Gill and Paul Franklin 'The Road Home', a live Heart project produced by John Paul Jones 'Rock and Roll Party', the Jeff Beck Les Paul Tribute with Darrel Higham and Imelda May (when I'm not watching the 'Live at Ronnie Scott's' DVD). Jeff Beck can play anything. Anything. Supertramp's Greatest Hits. 'The New York Rock and Soul Review', Donald Fagen's 'My Old School' tribute CD with Boz Scaggs, Mike MacDonald, and Phoebe Snow. 'Sam and Dave's Greatest Hits', virtually all BT and the MG's backing, never gets old. J o e y | ||

Wayne Shorter. I haven't been listening to much of anything recently for a number of reasons; but yesterday I found myself listening to Wayne Shorter, from different periods, from the Miles Davis Quintet up to Shorter's current quartet. It was an education; I found that I had a deeper appreciation of, a deeper knowing of, music; just from listing to him. I've long thought that version of the Miles Davis Quintet was amazing, something special in the history of music; but yesterday was different. It was a deeper level of understanding, of "knowing", of connecting. So that's what I've been listing to; Wayne Shorter. And I am grateful for the experience. | ||

Animal Logic - first release - Stanley Clarke, Stewart Copeland and Deborah Holland. Not a 'bass showcase' by any means but certainly a good listen. Speaking of Haden - Recently picked up The Haden Triplets self titled disc - song birds! Beautiful harmonies. | ||

When I discovered Animal Logicīs first release, back in its day, I thought it was one of the best made pop albums ever, not by the "pop music standards", but my own, personal music standards. Songwriting, sense of melody, good playing, musicianship, the sound... it spun for hours and hours on my CD player back then, and I became a fan. Years later I got their second release, and loved it as well (although not as much as the first one, I have to admit). I STILL think that album is really wonderful, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uaGQ5I4w_3o&list=PLD22894B0C58A6D54 | ||

Ricki Lee Jones! I agree with you whole-heartedly on that call Graeme. I have played that LP so many times that I almost can hear both sides at the same time. I still use the Easy Money bassline as a warm-up for upright bass gigs. slawie | ||

That Animal Logic stuff is good! I'll have to look for it for those times I need a dose of pop...my old bandmates were a bit weirded out when I bought Matthew Sweet and Ass Ponys cd's on tour...if you've never heard them, check out Ass Ponys, truly some of the best 'bent americana'; they shoulda been rich but were just too weird for A&M (their old label) Tony | ||

Camped out by the computer today: Beck Bogert and Appice - self titled, classic Rock-n-Roll - Tim Bogert plays a mean bass! Beth Orton - Central Reservation - something softer, really like her voice. Bill Wyman - Monkey Grip Glue - it's Bill! Bullfrog - self-ttiled first release - absolutely fabulous Kraut Rock band! Brian Auger - Oblivion Express Jon Butcher - Wishes; don't know why he never really beacme a 'big' name . . . | ||

Another rainy day here in Minnesota so it was Ralph Towner and Eberhard Weber: Solstice, and Colors of Chloe. Reminds me of a concert triple I was fortunate to attend many years ago in Springfield, Massachusetts of all places that featured Towner's Oregon, The Gary Burton Quartet, and Return to Forever. They played from 6:00 PM to 1:00 AM in a quaint little theater with fabulous acoustics. One of the best concerts I've had the pleasure to attend. | ||

It was quite possibly the best concert I've ever seen/heard/experienced: Towner, Burton, and Corea at their best. To this day, I honestly have no idea as to how I ended up back in my dorm room the next morning. The only thing that came close was a concert at which I worked at Dillon Stadium in Hartford CT which included the Allman Brothers and Santana as opening acts for the Dead. My job...to walk around the concert grounds with a broom stick perched atop of which was a red colored pie plate that when raised indicated that I had found someone having a bad trip who needed help. I ran in to enough individuals in this category that I later decided to major in psychology and have been working in the human service profession for 30 plus years. | ||

To answer Glynn's question: no, there is no limit to the number of posts. There is an automatic archiving feature that kicks in after an given number of posts on a thread, but you can click on the archive at the top of the thread to find the older posts. Personally, I find that one can never tell that a subject has been truly exhausted until it already has. And hopefully I will have shut up by then. So what music have I been listening to? Was planning to put on a CD of Bach's St Matthew's Passion for Easter, but opted for Mendelssohn's string quintets. Had a most excellent mental musical workout during a Charles Ives marathon in Amsterdam a few weeks back. Played a CD by Paul van Kemenade ft. Ernst Reijseger (and reminisced about the old amateur workshop led by Paul where we often did Ballad of The Fallen). Started name-dropping . . . | ||

I was just watching the fifth episode of the new Cosmos series; and as it nears the end of the episode, it quotes Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue, which I've always thought was an amazing piece of music. So, thinking that it would be a cool tune for somebody like Dream Theater, I was delighted to find a nice live version from Liquid Tension Experiment. | ||

Based on recommendations above, I got hold of a copy of Animal Logic 2 which I'm enjoying. I guess this must have come out around the same time as Stanley's 'Find out' Album as his playing has a similar feel. And tenuously carrying on Dave's Dream Theater listening, I've been listening to the Winery Dogs album a lot this week. Messrs portnoy, Kotzen and Sheehan giving it large - love Billy's playing.

Not to highjack this thread but I thought that I wood offer some wood trivia since Alembic Inc. is The place of SWELL wood ! There really is a type of wood called " Iron Wood " . I have some left over scraps from someone that had a back yard deck built from it. It is the heaviest wood that I have ever handled . It is also very gummy when you try to cut it and is hard on saw blades .  | ||

No worries, back on track. Listened to Dream Theater's Dark Side; found that very enjoyable. Great album covered very well. Also dusted off Chris Rea's Tennis, for being an "80's" album, I rather enjoy the material, especially the understated yet pivotal bass playing. | ||

Pete Special passed away May 11, so I've been going back to his Mozart Street and Big Twist & the Mellow Fellows' Playing For Keeps (the latter came out in '84, while I was their stage manager). Despite Twist's name on the logo, it was Pete's band. Also Pure Prairie League's first & second albums, and Roomfull of Blues Hot Little Mama (my copy has the black-teddy-and-fan cover, not the cowgirl-blowing-smoke-away version). Peter | ||

Inspired by a different thread - I listened to Marcus Miller - Silver Rain. On this disc he does a version of Frankenstein that is killer - and oddly enough associated with another thread . . . he plays it a little slower than the original but it grooves like the Grand Canyon!
