king ubu Posted March 14, 2012 Report Posted March 14, 2012 sheee-it, this is expensive... but tempting, nevertheless! would be cool though to know just a little bit more about its contents *before* committing oneself! will this contain the complete (plus bonus) recorded works of ICP and related projects?

king ubu Posted March 14, 2012 Report Posted March 14, 2012 ooops, I only now read the title... "our entire catalogue"... gee, this is tempting! Quote
J.A.W. Posted March 15, 2012 Report Posted March 15, 2012 Too rich for my blood... While it was fun to see them play (in more than one way) in the early days, I was never really a big fan. Quote
Justin V Posted March 15, 2012 Report Posted March 15, 2012 Considering how some of ICP's albums have never made it to disc and can be hard to find, that'd be a cool box set to have. Even if I could afford to drop almost $600 on a box set after shipping, that'd be a pretty intimidating addition. It would take a long time to absorb all of that music. I just imagine this giant box set hitting my porch like a mortar shell. Quote

ejp626 Posted March 15, 2012 Report Posted March 15, 2012 I really can't imagine spending that kind of dough on this project, esp. given how completely unknown most of it is. I do have a few of these 50+ CD sets, but they were things that had track records, like Jazz in Paris, or the Glenn Gould OJC set, or the Living Stereo set. Things that I knew I would listen to over and over. If I was going to take a leap at something so expensive and nearly completely random, I would be a lot more likely to go for the 120 albums of mostly classical music on the Cedille USB stick for $500: Cedille For another $250, you can buy the collection pre-loaded onto your very own iPod.

rostasi Posted March 15, 2012 Report Posted March 15, 2012 These aren't unknown to me at all - as a matter of fact, these recordings are so completely tied to my preteen years and onward that it was a nanosecond thought to go ahead and order this last week. Something to replace the LPs - sometimes multiples - and especially ICP 010 (covers without the lines drawn through the mail order segment that you see below) that was played so often in my bedroom and music practice room in the 70's that I went thru multiple copies - is a gift from the cosmo-unknown. ...and Han(d)-painted artwork at €400 is nearly worth it alone for me. When NEOS offers the same classical deal as Cedille, I'll begin considering... ®ø∂ --- Now playing: Rahsaan Roland Kirk - Triple Threat Quote
sidewinder Posted March 15, 2012 Report Posted March 15, 2012 Too rich for my blood... And by the time the whole thing has been listened to once, it'll be time to retire. I prefer shorter, more manageable packages like the Complete Commodore Mosaic Vols 1 to 3. Quote

I prefer shorter, more manageable packages like the Complete Commodore Mosaic Vols 1 to 3. You must be a lot closer to retirement than I am... 50 CDs is a lot, but if you really put your mind to it, you could definitely get through it in a couple of weeks. I went through the entire Jazz in Paris set (well, still only 75 CDs at that time and many of them under 45 minutes) while making final revisions to my dissertation -- that was about 3 weeks of intense work (and listening).

David Ayers Posted March 15, 2012 Report Posted March 15, 2012 I think I'll wait for the LP version. Otherwise, what Chuck said... Quote
sidewinder Posted March 15, 2012 Report Posted March 15, 2012 You must be a lot closer to retirement than I am... No doubt ! (lots of Mosaic listening time coming up ). Factoring in though my current Mosaic churn rate of about 2CDs of a box per year. Quote

Factoring in though my current Mosaic churn rate of about 2CDs of a box per year. I try to listen to the entire box set within a month of when I bought it, then it could be ages before I get to it again -- two CDs a year sounds about right. (Didn't come anywhere near this with the Fats Waller on JSP, but I am really making an effort on lots of newly-purchased classical box sets. Just picked up the Tennstedt and Cantelli EMI sets -- 20+ CDs of classical music warhorses. My listening is probably 85% classical these days!) I did find that ripping Mosaic sets and putting them on portable hard drives made it more likely to revisit the music. Quote

rostasi Posted August 14, 2012 Report Posted August 14, 2012 Update: "Dear improv lovers, Good news, we have hit the 300 reservations-mark! We are now in the process of putting together the photobook with Pieter Boersma and gathering all the materials that will make up the boxed catalogue. We've got some photos to show you our progress." "At your request we will offer the possibility to pick up the box at a special event. We are working towards a date at the end September, but exact date, time and location will be revealed in our next update." "A few details that were not yet certain when we opened for reservations have now been confirmed. The box will contain some never before released material from a radio broadcast marking the birth of ICP, baptized ICP000. With this new addition to the catalogue, the total number of discs in this box will be 52 cd's and 2 dvd's!" "The box will also contain a blueprint of the fabled 'camel-chair' as constructed during ICP's performance of 'Met welbeleefde groet van de kameel' (With Sincerest Regards from the Camel)." http://www.icporchestra.com/icpbox/ Quote
