The new release is different. Heavier, but still good, IMO.

Well, I was attempting to post about an excellent new release from the Miles Davis catalog, but I'm running up against the built-in "naughty langauge editor" in the site software.

Apparently, it takes offense to the name Miles gave to his landmark groundbreaking 1970 recording. You know, the one that rhymes with "Witches Brew."

Of course, had I used the actual title, it would have forced and edit to *****es Brew, and well, that's just silly.

Sillier still is that I noticed it when it didn't post the picture of the album cover because the link to the picture has the name of the album in it and the software editor overrode that, effectively killing the link which doesn't refer to an item named *****es Brew.

I'm all for this being a friendly site, but this is a case where the automated editor's lack of context is counter-productive.

Anyway, there's a new release comprising Miles' performances at the 1969 Newport Jazz Festival and the 1970 Isle of Wight Festival. It's an interesting look at the historical shift in Miles' music with the first performance coming shortly before the recording of the album with the naughty name and the second four months after.

Interesting remake. This girl sang with The Nels Cline Singers for at least a short stint, which I discovered through this thread, and is how I got around to finding this artist and album . . .

Quite enjoying Earth's newest.

Two completely different bands.. Celtic Frost and Cake! I'm taking Mrs. bcdon to see Cake tonight in Vancouver. I'd certainly go see Celtic Frost if they got back together but I don't think Mrs. bcdon would attend. ;-) That said, I've always enjoyed Cake and their new album is most excellent!

Creepy video but rockin'! :dude

Opeth In Live Concert at the Royal Albert Hall

Awesome band and an equally awesome DVD.

good LORD, haven't had this much fun in a while. Put this on this on while "working" at my desk this morning, and quickly found myself with a semi in my hands, on my feet, soloing along and actually jumping around. This is great music.

I challenge you to put "What'd I say" on, pick up your guitar, and not have a blast.

Scofield sure did...

Scofield sure did...

Wow, I had no idea. That's EXACTLY what I'm talkin' 'bout. Thanks!

 

[R_of_G]

Sco did a full album tribute to Ray Charles with numerous guest musicians. Many good tracks.

 

[Tig]

Scofield sure did...

Wow, that was a great song and quite an ensemble of talent. I'll have to check out the album.
Thanks for yet another excellent exposure, R_of_G!

I have a feeling I've posted these before, but they're too good not to post again:

Opeth In Live Concert at the Royal Albert Hall

Awesome band and an equally awesome DVD.

I'm going to have to get that. I've only got Still Life so far but it is definitely awesome. I'm disappointed they didn't play Burden though, but I suppose they're sick of it by now...

 

[R_of_G]

This band lists their influences as "reverb, delay, drums, heavy, tremolo, feedback, guitars, repetition."

Very reminiscent of bands like Spacemen 3 or Jesus & Mary Chain without being entirely derivative.

R.E.M. - Collapse Into Now

Edit: A few more listens, and I can still say,
"It is nice to have them back". A few songs even remind me of the IRS Records days.
Not a full house of best ever songs, but there's enough here for any fan to be glad they got the album.
