Chuck Nessa Posted November 9, 2005 Report Posted November 9, 2005 By a strange coincidence and flurry of orders, tonight I have exactly 100 copies left. You have been warned. Quote

Quincy Posted November 9, 2005 Report Posted November 9, 2005 ← (No offense to Chuck but) while his cover may be lacking in comparison I think the music is just a wee bit better than that Montrose album. Given the great personal sacrifice (a good chuck of your album collection to finance this right?) made to put out this release a big congrats to Mr. Nessa! Quote
JSngry Posted November 9, 2005 Report Posted November 9, 2005 ← (No offense to Chuck but) while his cover may be lacking in comparison I think the music is just a wee bit better than that Montrose album. ← Well, yeah, but "Jump On It" is the message here! Quote
Alexander Hawkins Posted November 9, 2005 Report Posted November 9, 2005 This is incredible music. My first thought was to comment that Roscoe Mitchell is simply phenomenal throughout the set, but on reflection, to single anyone out would be arbitrary (but - is Tuthankamun one of the great recorded bass solos?). IMHO, everyone featured plays a blinder. Quote

Unless the equivilent image is a tight shot of Roscoe Mitchell in a Speedo... Edited November 9, 2005 by RDK Quote
Bol Posted November 10, 2005 Report Posted November 10, 2005 I've never heard the AEC. Is there a single CD that may be representative of their early recordings? I would like to try a small sample before purchasing a box set. Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted November 10, 2005 Author Report Posted November 10, 2005 With the exception of Roscoe Mitchell's "Sound" all other recordings are from '69 on. Quote
Johnny E Posted November 10, 2005 Report Posted November 10, 2005 I've never heard the AEC. Is there a single CD that may be representative of their early recordings? I would like to try a small sample before purchasing a box set. ← The BYG recordings are really good (A Jackson in Your House/Reece and the Smooth Ones/Message to Our Folks) but in my humble opinion, the Nessa set captures the true essence of the AEC. It's MUST HAVE SHIT plain and simple. Buy it now before it's too late!!! Quote

Joe G Posted November 10, 2005 Report Posted November 10, 2005 It's beginning to look more abstract. Try staring at all three simultaneously. Quote

It's the best of their early recordings, and it's ltd ed. if you insist on a single disc, however, People in Sorrow is a nice choice. Not as visceral as most of the box but powerful just the same Quote

Chuck Nessa Posted November 10, 2005 Author Report Posted November 10, 2005 Oh yeah, I forgot I do have 3 eyes. Quote
