king ubu Posted January 21, 2013 Report Posted January 21, 2013 I guess this one deserves it's own thread! Detailed contents can be found here: http://www.discogs.com/Various-Long-Story-Short/release/4170007 Trost is offering a subscription price of 40€ through February (not sure if "shipping included" applies to all orders, just sent them a mail myself, inquiring about details), later the set will be 45€ plus shipping. http://www.trost.at/news/ Quote
king ubu Posted January 22, 2013 Author Report Posted January 22, 2013 Okay, the pre-order price of € 40.- includes shipping in Europe and is good until the end of January only! Will get me one before then! For those reading German, there's also this book that's just been published: there's a preview on amazon - link Quote

Could make a nice companion to the Oslo set from a while back Quote

Swinger Posted February 9, 2013 Report Posted February 9, 2013 I haven't received my copy yet but I'm hoping to get it in next week Quote
king ubu Posted February 9, 2013 Author Report Posted February 9, 2013 Haven't received mine, either ... never got any update or saw anything about a shipping date, so I'll just wait and be surprised. But I just got "Walk, Love, Sleep" a few days ago. No time (and mood) for it yet though. Quote
Steve Reynolds Posted February 10, 2013 Report Posted February 10, 2013 Haven't received mine, either ... never got any update or saw anything about a shipping date, so I'll just wait and be surprised. But I just got "Walk, Love, Sleep" a few days ago. No time (and mood) for it yet though. Walk, Love, Sleep is intense however the mood must be right. Recorded in close up which I like very much. Gives one a bit of an idea of what it was like live. The shows by the original tentet in the late 90's early 00's remain the greatest shows I've ever seen by anyone Quote
king ubu Posted February 11, 2013 Author Report Posted February 11, 2013 I was at one of those 2011 shows and it was amazing! I'm a bit afraid to listen at home because it will never, ever reach a remotely close power ... but I will eventually listen for sure! Quote
Swinger Posted February 16, 2013 Report Posted February 16, 2013 I got my boxset on Wednesday and I*m listening to CD1 right now. Very intense stuff as always <3 Quote
king ubu Posted February 16, 2013 Author Report Posted February 16, 2013 Gee, everyone seems to have gotten their sets early/mid this week ... but no trace of it here yet! Quote
romualdo Posted February 16, 2013 Report Posted February 16, 2013 havn't received my copy yet but admittedly I'm a bit further away from the source Quote
romualdo Posted February 18, 2013 Report Posted February 18, 2013 (edited) arrived today via registered post - listening to it now standout killer track so far (finished 3 discs) is 52 minutes of a quartet with Brotzmann/Gania/Laswell/Drake - did anyone see this performance? The guimbri sounds like a didgeridoo at times (or is it another instrument) How does PB maintain this level of intensity at 70 yo ?? Edited February 18, 2013 by romualdo Quote
king ubu Posted February 18, 2013 Author Report Posted February 18, 2013 So you did get it before me ... I already wondered if you get mail on Sundays, but I guess it was Monday morning already? The parcel post hasn't passed (working at home today), so there's still hope I catch up Quote
king ubu Posted February 19, 2013 Author Report Posted February 19, 2013 Finally had it in the mail - and disc one is spinning now, great! That's Tchicai's voice in #2, yes? Quote
romualdo Posted February 19, 2013 Report Posted February 19, 2013 Finally had it in the mail - and disc one is spinning now, great! That's Tchicai's voice in #2, yes? That's what I thought too Quote

mjazzg Posted February 20, 2013 Report Posted February 20, 2013 First listen and dived straight into the Keiji Haino piece (because I knew him only by reputation) and whoa....! If the other performances are anywhere near as intense then this is going to be a hell of a ride Quote
king ubu Posted February 20, 2013 Author Report Posted February 20, 2013 I found that the weirdest of all tracks, the one I least connected ... and the Hairy Bones and Caspar Brötzmann tracks rather boring. But other than that, after one listen to it all, I think I'm going to love this box, there's tons of great music on it! Quote
clifford_thornton Posted February 21, 2013 Report Posted February 21, 2013 Mine's en route; looking forward to it. Quote
king ubu Posted February 21, 2013 Author Report Posted February 21, 2013 It's a real treat! I'm very enthusiastic about this whole box. There are a few nice photos in the booklet, too (including a great one of Tchicai). I'm quite positiv you're going to love it, too! Quote
Clunky Posted February 21, 2013 Report Posted February 21, 2013 In a mad moment I ordered this box. I've very little Brotzmann other than the Okka 3CD set of the tentet from quite a few years ago and the very wonderful trio LP from Cafe Oto. The latter really changed my opinion of his playing allowing me to hear great beauty in the storm. Hoping I won't regret this one. Quote

The latter really changed my opinion of his playing allowing me to hear great beauty in the storm. Hoping I won't regret this one. I think this is as good a sampler of where Brotzmann is now as anything else out there, better even than the similar Oslo 5CD set because of the greater variation of musicians and line ups. What I like about the selection is that Herr B's not playing on everything but on many of the selections that he's not on you can hear his influence and benign presence. The Japanese presence is interesting too as there's understandably a Chicago/European predominance on many other releases. By its very nature we're not going to like everything equally but across the five discs I'm sure there's great surprises (Haino for me) and gems for us all. And yes, that Oto LP is very fine indeed, Quote
