Oh cool! Looks like some great stuff in that batch, great to see

It's been a crazy busy month or two for me, I've been somewhat disengaged around here but I have scored some fantastic grabs. This is a few weeks worth and includes a newly released favourite, a couple of original/early pressings of old favourites and some quality reissues. The Kenny Clarke...

I've been on a Charles Lloyd deep dive lately and it reminded me of this thread so I thought I'd drop in. I really like his sound - beautifully soft but precise attack with Coltranesque fluttery explosions and (to my novice ear) a similarly clean, "flat" sound in terms of the actual quality of...

He appointed an Elton John to his cabinet

I love Whitney Balliett's writing, his collected works is just fantastic. I find it transports me to a different time and puts me in the moment of discovery, excitement and energy that he was experiencing. It's laugh out loud funny at times, beautifully descriptive, metaphoric and informative...

My week -

This popped up in my Spotify recommendations recently too. I really like it, there's something in the almost mechanical sounds of valves opening and closing in the lower register, and the sweetness of the higher range that I really enjoy. Interested to know how this sounds I may be tempted

I was wondering the same. Swaps still open and waiting for Weyes Blood. Repress on the way to distro? Or wishful thinking and it's totally random

I bought in to the idea that something special was being done, and that in working closely with Blue Note there would be a high level of quality in all aspects of the product. AAA pressings of otherwise difficult to find albums of great music (plus one first pressing of a digital original). As...

Can anyone help me because it's nagging at me and eating away at the useful bits of my brain... What 90s/maybe 00s top 40 dancey hit does the closing 40 seconds or so of "Traffic" off Anima remind me of??

June: 1st half: It occurs to me that scrobbling by time, as opposed to track, would be interesting. I have a favourite modern classical piece that I listen to regularly, it's about 25 minutes and never features in my top scrobbles as I might only listen to it once or twice a week. Hmm.

I've been lazy/behind on this thread lately - life, you know. I always save the album to my library when available and come to it when I can. Been heavily reliant on my "comfort music" lately and less in the mood for trying new things. So I'm late but this Pom Poko album is definitely one of...

Great info. I have an Art Blakey compilation in this series that I got at an op shop for $1 recently, this provides some context. Seems like a great option for picking up some fantastic music.

Is it though??? I've got Crumb, Joel Ross and ahhh yes Weyes Blood still to come. Oh but Weyes Blood is apparently in my June box but we all know it won't be. It's been fruitful though, I have written a play - "Waiting for Weyes Blood" and a philosophical paper - "Schrodinger's Weyes Blood" in...

Ok so your list will get out of control pretty soon but...I recommend this to anyone who will listen: Josin - In the Blank Space. She's a Korean German multi instrumentalist/producer/singer. Her debut album is a gorgeously dark, brooding, atmospheric, rising and falling piece rich in emotion and...

I'm sure you've earned vmp a good number of sales, you can definitely make any album sound like a must-have. So, in a way..... you already do work for them?! :unsure:

"Threatened" 🤣🤣🤣

Same message for Joel Ross too. I expected it, it's not a surprise. I've cancelled my sub already but have a few records still coming. It's like one of those breakups when you keep living together :rolleyes:
