jvlgato Posted October 4, 2010 Report Posted October 4, 2010 I don't recognize that cover -- which Bernstein/Mahler is that? Amazon.com: Mahler: The Symphonies: Gustav Mahler, Leonard Bernstein, Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, New York Philharmonic Orchestra, Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra: Music It's a boxed set of the complete Mahler symphonies Bernstein did with various orchestras from previous releases (obviously from previous releases!). Got it 'used-Like New' for $38.83 from Amazon marketplace, but it was still sealed. Great deal! Simple packaging, but the recordings so far sound just great!
jvlgato Posted October 5, 2010 Report Posted October 5, 2010 Had a chance to read the liner notes in the box tonight. It's the cycle of live recordings he did throughout the 1980's for DG, previously offered on several CDs, now in one boxed set.

It's the cycle of live recordings he did throughout the 1980's for DG, previously offered on several CDs, now in one boxed set.I have this set, for which I paid substantially more, so you win. Also, I still don't 'get' Mahler. Time to revisit.
jvlgato Posted October 5, 2010 Report Posted October 5, 2010 Looks like the same symphony cycle, but mine lacks the lieder. Mine is probably the reissue of a reissue to catch the cheapskates like me. I love Symphony #1, and liked snippets of various symphonies I've heard on the radio, but don't often have the time to get through an entire Mahler symphony. I noticed several posts in the 'Favorite 5 minutes of music' list the Resurrection Symphony, so I'm listening to that now. I liked it on first listen, so I'm hopeful. We'll see about the rest- I do tend to get lost in Mahler - I just thought it was me, so glad to hear you say that!
faust3d Posted October 5, 2010 Report Posted October 5, 2010 Andy Sheppard - Nocturnal Tourist (2001) Andy plays around with modern production, sampling and electronics. Sounds interesting, and even "fresh", to me still it's a big departure from something like "Introductions in the Dark". His sax firmly takes the central stage, but background arrangements are similar to some of the acid-jazz ninja tune stuff from the late 90's, not a bad thing at all.
robm321 Posted October 5, 2010 Report Posted October 5, 2010 Not familiar. But looks like he needs a hug. I bought this CD years ago, because it was a test disk that someone at Stereophile used in his reviews. It's not bad. Ry Cooder is on there, and Terry is convincing (grew up near the delta, Robert Johnson, etc.). On the down side, there is a '70s soul vibe to it which I personally don't like. Can't say I'd recommend it unless your into that.

I'll try to have a listen some time, thanks!
Dusty Chalk Posted October 5, 2010 Report Posted October 5, 2010 Void of Silence, Grave of Civilization -- funereal doomy dirge metal, yes again, love this album. Much of the vocals are practically howled in pain. Also, noticed that it follows the noun-preposition-noun form of Shape of Despair's Angels of Distress -- is there something artier about saying that, as opposed to say, Silence Void, Civilization Grave or Despair Shape, Distress Angels? Just an abstract question, not really expecting an answer. I mean, don't get me wrong, I've done the same thing myself, I'm just wondering what the reasoning is. (Named one of my previous "projects", The Aerodynamics of Chaff -- for which the reconstruction, "Chaff Aerodynamics", just doesn't work as well. Despair Shape, in particular, does not have the same poetic quality as does Shape Of Despair.)
postjack Posted October 6, 2010 Report Posted October 6, 2010 Die Antwoord -- $O$ Everyone in SA has watched District 9 way too many times. seeing these guys at Voodoo Fest in a few weeks. Supposed to be an awesome live show. Right now at 11am I am listening to Trombone Shorty and New Orleans Avenue rock the fuck out of hardly strictly bluegrass. Wow. right on! i might catch some of Trombone Shorty during voodoo as well. he's playing during My Morning Jacket though so I don't know. Kreator - Pleasure to Kill
ironbut Posted October 6, 2010 Report Posted October 6, 2010 (edited) I'm trying out this "not so new" music uploader so I thought I'd try and paste a recording I made here. The file is 24/96 so it's a biggie (no,.. not you spritzer!). Let me know if you have a problem with the listening or viewing the player. This is my first try with it so if it doesn't work, I'll delete the post and try again. Like I said, this is a 24/96 aiff file so I'd like to hear some feedback from folks with a decent dac regarding the work I did in post.

ironbut Posted October 6, 2010 Report Posted October 6, 2010 Hmm, OK, I thought that the link would bring up the player but I must be missing something. Anyway, the waveform that comes up when you click on any of the above links is actually an MP3 so if you want the good stuff (24/96) you have to download the original file. All you have to do that is click on the downward pointing pointer in the toolbar above the waveform. 143MB so it will take a bit of time.
deepak Posted October 6, 2010 Author Report Posted October 6, 2010 Kreator - Pleasure to Kill Early Kreator is so bloody good. I need to go on a thrash spree again.
JimP Posted October 6, 2010 Report Posted October 6, 2010 stuff is good on headphones...new territory for me, I guess they call this genre IDM???

Voltron Posted October 6, 2010 Report Posted October 6, 2010 Brian Blades & the Fellowship Band -- Season of Changes Seeing Blades, Christian McBride and Chick Corea Trio on Thursday and completely psyched for that combo.
Dusty Chalk Posted October 6, 2010 Report Posted October 6, 2010 Friendly Fires -- indie poprock goodness. Mmmm...Talking Heads-y. stuff is good on headphones...new territory for me, I guess they call this genre IDM???Yeah, they're kind of IDM, kind of ambient. If you like it...well, there really isn't anything else quite like Music Has the Right to Children, but you may want to investigate further in: IDM, ambient, electro. Probably Orbital's Snivilization and In Sides are the closest touchpoints.
