LP or download Roscoe Mitchell, Tony Marsh, John Edwards http://otoroku.cafeoto.co.uk/products/516318-roscoe-mitchell-tony-marsh-john-edwards-improvisations available for pre-order Thanks for the heads-up. One of the best gigs I have ever been to, honestly...LP will be special!

One of the best gigs I have ever been to, honestly...LP will be special! No way I could resist this one. I have no reservations re Oto LPs, great pressings, wonderful cover art which I love !!! . I have some concerns that newly recorded LPs we see issued these days are little more than CDs on LP with a nice cover. Oto price their LPs at a price that says , try me. So I will be supporting them too. I agree re: Oto and the "CDs on LPs" (or MP3s on LPs) problem. Usually crappy pressings, too (Trost!). Quote

Blue Train Posted July 1, 2013 Report Posted July 1, 2013 P.S. A good deal worth seeing.http://www.youtube.com/user/shuffleboil/videos?tag_id=&sort=dd&shelf_index=1&view=0 Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted July 1, 2013 Report Posted July 1, 2013 If I buy the lps and it is later issued on cd or dvd I will really be pissed. Anyone with connections, please pass this on. Quote
mjazzg Posted July 2, 2013 Report Posted July 2, 2013 especially not now - they're shaking in their boots already Quote

If they did it....it would be a first that I know of. I think they're more interested in using the money to releases something new, or book musicians @ the club.

Chuck Nessa Posted July 3, 2013 Report Posted July 3, 2013 Chuck, what label is it on? Okka. I might be able to provide. Quote
David Ayers Posted July 3, 2013 Report Posted July 3, 2013 Chuck, what label is it on? Okka. I might be able to provide. Okka! I thought he'd stopped issuing new titles. Good. Quote
colinmce Posted July 3, 2013 Author Report Posted July 3, 2013 I've been waiting for that one, I knew it had been recorded. I have been spinning the Po discs lately, actually. Never ceases to amaze. Quote
colinmce Posted July 3, 2013 Author Report Posted July 3, 2013 I've been particularly stuck on the Mysteries section: 4 tracks from 1990 with Urs Leimgruber & Fritz Hauser. Beautiful stuff. There's so much variation in that music, all kinds of groupings and styles spanning 1979-1990 with so many incredible players. I'm interested to hear these songs which are so engrained in my mind played by others. Quote

David Ayers Posted July 4, 2013 Report Posted July 4, 2013 Oto were very disturbed to learn that someone had said something mildly crotchety about them on the internet. While they seek an injunction to have the entire web closed down pending legal action, they have advised improv lovers to stay away from ALL Scottish Lochs.That last part made me wonder if they had maybe misheard what I was telling them, but I pass it on anyway.

clifford_thornton Posted July 19, 2013 Report Posted July 19, 2013 How is it? I felt I had to thin my Vmark collection down to the V5, DKV, School Days and Free Fall stuff, all of which I enjoy quite a bit. Quote
Stefan Wood Posted July 19, 2013 Report Posted July 19, 2013 I'm interested to know as well. I don't mind the DKV and School Days material. But Vandermark is someone I don't need a lot of, and only mixed in with a lot of other musicians. Quote

Looks like an 'impression' of a switchblade to the gut, Does the music resemble this? Quote
colinmce Posted July 23, 2013 Author Report Posted July 23, 2013 Personally I like the cover. I need to order this. I'm curious to hear how this music is approached. Topology is incredibly dense ensemble music, but the approach on Old Eyes & Mysteries, Oleo, Linear B revolves around small groupings. The material is so rich and enigmatic ... so there's a lot of potential here. Quote
