Clunky Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 Affinity was certainly a cheap label but it would be quite wrong to say they all sound poor. I've a number of examples which sound very good with very quiet surfaces. Material culled from Vee Jay, Bethlehem, BYG etc. Crap covers with nasty cover "art" but often with a thoughtful essay by Brian Priestly. Clunky, I`ve edit my post. Cool, I'd only add that they're worth going for to hear the music for not much money ( up to £4) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colinmce Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 It seems like Affinity must have been a godsend in the pre-CD/mass re-issue era. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homefromtheforest Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 Paul that's a great Marion Brown/Mal Waldron album...I should pull that out myself to play again. Clifford how would you compare that Braxton to the other one on BYG? I have that one but for some reason never did get around to buying "this time"...is it drastically different?

I have that one but for some reason never did get around to buying "this time"...is it drastically different? Homefromtheforest, it was me that posted the Braxton - unfortunately I don't have the other BYG to compare but "This time..." is very strong - a nice contrast between the two sides between two long compositions and a selection of great short compostions which even had me thinking that they sounded like early distant relatives of Ghost Trance Music. I can't see anyone who enjoys Braxton of that vintage not liking this. I suspect Clifford will indeed be able to make a comparison between the two as may other Braxtonphiles amongst us Ornette Coleman - Live In Beograd ! 2011.

I can't see anyone who enjoys Braxton of that vintage not liking this. I agree, the short compositions and the one solo vocal piece are really interesting. The long form pieces on both LPs are really nice - McCall is a great addition to the core trio - and there are some beautiful melodies on Actuel 15 (the other LP). I think the music is pretty accessible, actually, though the BYG pressings don't do it any service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
