Eddie Prevost/Tom Chant/John Edwards - All Change (Matchless)

Matana Roberts - Coin Coin Chapter Two: Mississippi Moonchile (Constellation)

Couple of gems there. Coin Coin Chapter Two is startling stuff.

Indeed. I've listened to both volumes several times on Spotify, but with the new one arriving soon I figured I should start to buy them up.

:tup :tup :tup :tup I have all of these, but my copy of Spiritual Nature is the American Inner City LP, which sounds pretty crappy. (Was this Togashi's only American release?) At this point in my life, I'm going with it, though. Although, of course, I love the albums with Steve Lacy and other Western musicians, Spiritual Nature has a sound and approach that probably represents Togashi's essence better than any of the others.

So I picked up three Frode Gjerstad titles from Rays. That was three out of a dozen or more, and that dozen did not include titles I already knew about, including Chuck's offering. So I checked on Gjerstad's website and did some counting. He released 25 CDs from 2010-2014 - five a year - and so far one this year.

It seems everybody is releasing oceans of material but you just might never hear of it or see it. Case in point, I bought a John Butcher/Matthew Shipp CD on the Fataka label. Yes, the Fataka label, which I had never heard of, but which I am told is a popular label. All relative, I suspect. It was their second release, in an edition of 500, played at OTO but not the OTO label. In what sense is it a label? Only just, it seems, but - possibly - very select.

But you know what, I like this world of numerous short-run, not-even-sure-that-is-really-a-label label things that are there and gone at the same time. Often vinyl only. Pick them up at gigs, stumble across them randomly in the racks in an actual store. But order them over the internet? Or download them? What would be the point of that?
