bertrand Posted February 2, 2006 Report Posted February 2, 2006 (edited) It's amazing how any post by Clem generates five more trying to figure out what he is talking about. What a waste of our precious bandwidth. Bertrand. Edited February 3, 2006 by bertrand Quote
clifford_thornton Posted February 2, 2006 Report Posted February 2, 2006 "Not only wasn't this what I wanted from jazz, it wasn't what I needed from pop—songs, concision, dumb fun. Despite Henderson's funk bass, the operating aesthetic is closer to prog—too smart for its own good, but not as smart as it wants you to think" I disagree - there are implications of 'song,' and revelry, but if one actually pays attention to the process of this band in continual reinvention over four nights, any of these implications are hacked to bits. I would say that most prog rock is far more obviously orchestrated than these works here - even the Softs at their most "out." My $.02, fwiw. Quote
couw Posted February 2, 2006 Report Posted February 2, 2006 If everyone spoke English around here, it sure would save a lot of bandwidth. it would save even more bandwidth if everyone spoke Dutch. Much less blahblah, more to the point, and much less native speakers who think that every shitty little nuance is caught by the entire world and everyone beyond. We desperately need more talk-like-a-pirate days. Quote

Unless something happened, you have another 8 fingers. Details about the tasks they perform would be appreciated. Quote
bertrand Posted February 3, 2006 Report Posted February 3, 2006 Post edited for clarification, for those who thought I was some sort of American imperialist. Quite frankly, I'd be happy to post in French from now on. Bertrand. Quote
bertrand Posted February 3, 2006 Report Posted February 3, 2006 Oh, and the meaning of my second sentence as originally posted was perfectly clear from my first sentence, assuming you had read it. Bertrand. Quote
bertrand Posted February 3, 2006 Report Posted February 3, 2006 I don't know why English has become the language used universally for people from different countries to communicate; perhaps a linguist could shed some light. It's certainly nothing I have imposed. Should we perhaps switch to Latin? I'd be all for it. It would keep out some idiots. Bertrand. Quote
Aggie87 Posted February 3, 2006 Report Posted February 3, 2006 Unless something happened, you have another 8 fingers. Details about the tasks they perform would be appreciated. Using my rudimentary math skills (I did go to Texas A&M after all), 1 + 8 = 9. If you're counting thumbs, them couw maybe really IS an pirate, and lost a digit to his parrot or something? Conversely, not counting thumbs, perhaps he's an alien or something? Quote
king ubu Posted February 3, 2006 Report Posted February 3, 2006 Playing disc 1 now! Finally got it! All ten fingers typing, none hiding in tedious or other places... Quote
Tony Pusey Posted February 12, 2006 Report Posted February 12, 2006 And a copy finally made it to Malmö, so for me the search for this particular Grail is over... Quote

At the risk of getting this thread ghettoized, isn't the answer obvious. Quote
jazzbo Posted February 12, 2006 Report Posted February 12, 2006 Revisited a few of these sets last night. Such an awesome box set. Great sound! Quote
Rosco Posted February 12, 2006 Report Posted February 12, 2006 Stilll another week until the British release date... Quote
mikeweil Posted February 12, 2006 Report Posted February 12, 2006 Mine is sitting on the shelf at the Frankfurt Saturn Hansa jazz department ..... gotta pick it up soon! Quote
king ubu Posted February 17, 2006 Report Posted February 17, 2006 Mine is sitting on the shelf at the Frankfurt Saturn Hansa jazz department ..... gotta pick it up soon! Got it now? Any first impressions? Quote
Alfred Posted February 17, 2006 Report Posted February 17, 2006 (edited) Mine is sitting on the shelf at the Frankfurt Saturn Hansa jazz department ..... gotta pick it up soon! amazon.de has it for € 64,95. Maybe Saturn is more expensive... Edited February 17, 2006 by Alfred Quote
mikeweil Posted February 17, 2006 Report Posted February 17, 2006 I paid € 69,90, but I don't mind. I knew the set would be great - I long hoped to hear this music in its unabridged form, as the tracks as released on Live-Evil were a pivotal experience to me at the beginnimng of my "musical career". For me, it's indispensable, and the commentaries of all the band members are a very nice read. Quote
rostasi Posted February 17, 2006 Report Posted February 17, 2006 Mike, is that the Saturn located on the Zeil or is there another one elsewhere? Quote
Rosco Posted February 20, 2006 Report Posted February 20, 2006 WOOOOHOOOOOOO!!!!! UK release date is finally here! (just five and a half months late... ) Just got back from buying it... CD 1 just gone into the player! Quote
