mcgraham Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Whilst browsing in Fopp I bought: James Brown - The Definitive Collection Squarepusher - Ultravisitor Zero 7 - The Garden I was tempted to get Miles Davis - Kind of Blue, or a collection of his 'greatest hits', however I'm presently bored of jazz. Not what I want to buy, listen to or play at the minute. I wanted something with a groove, something with a pulse. Hence why I bought these.

William James Easton Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Frightened Rabbit - Midnight Organ Fight, absolute belter of an alt rock album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnylager Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Hanson Brothers - 'It's A Living'. Storming live CD including all the faves. Except 'Stay Home' which they never play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmanfunk Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 (edited) Raphael Saadiq's latest offering- 'The Way I see it' Its an absolutely stunning album. Purely retrospective encompassing Motown, Stax and Hot Wax sounds. So, it grooves hard! And if you're not familiar with Saadiq, he is a very talented and ubiquitous producer and monster bass player with a strong Jamerson influence. He also handles drum, bass, guitar and vocal duties on this record. Easy, Jay Edited November 21, 2008 by jmanfunk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep meaning to send you some more Latin stuff but my CD reader has been kernackered and I couldn't get the stuff MP3'd and fit for travel. I just got a new usb cd burner so I will have another try... As for me, this month's purchases are; Joshua Redman - Moodswing Lee Morgan - The Cooker Abbey Lincoln - That's Him Red Garland - Groovy (all three for my Paul Chambers research) Ohad Talmor - The Other Quartet - Sound Stains Stravinsky - Rite of Spring (upgrading from vinyl) Dave Grusin - West Side Story (replacing a lost gem) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yorks5stringer Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Lyle Lovett and Large Band (some nice walking bass and excellent vocals) Joan Osborne (Little Wild One) mostly originals with Mark Egan playing bass on some songs Lizanne Knott (South of Graceland) consistently good songwriting. I'm really into female singer/songwriters.... just about to get Joan Osborne's last covers album, Breakfast in Bed too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcgraham Posted November 21, 2008 Author Share Posted November 21, 2008 They had a coffee table style Limited (Re)edition of it too. It had a coffee table stylee book, numerous CD's, associated bumf, AND what appeared to be a 'blue' vinyl LP still in its original sleeve/jacket. I assume these are being distributed with these packs as New Old Stick collector edition vinyls. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kind Of Blue DVD with all the names on it got my back up because the only mention Chambers got was one reference to say that he was on it - nothing about the absolutely crucial contribution that he made to the integrity of the sextet's performances).

JoeS Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Last one I bought (well, sort of) was the new Munroe Effect EP, 'You Are Goldmouth'. Keep meaning to pick up the new Bloc Party album, anyone got it? I liked what I heard of it on the Channel 4 show they did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slaphappygarry Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Death Magnetic - Metallica. Good metal album but really poorly recorded/mastered (they should all be ashamed) New coldplay Record - La Viva something or other. Pretty beautiful. Micheal Braur is one of my favorite mix engineers and he did a stunning job on this one. G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a JO fest yesterday on youtube hence found out about Breakfast in Bed. Also got How Sweet It Is when that came out, ditto Relish. She also does a couple of songs on Standing in the Shadows of Motown, I have the DVD and CD! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Born 2B Mild Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 I subcribe to [url="http://www.napster.co.uk/ntg.html"]Napster To Go[/url], which means I can legitimately download as many albums I like. I find this a great way of trying things out. This week I downloaded and am enjoying... Razorlight 'Slipway Fires' Status Quo 'Pictures: 40 years of hits' Ryan Adams 'Cardinology' Robert Wyatt 'Rock Bottom' Joey Ryan 'with its roots above and its branches below' Motown Legacy: The songs of Norman Whitfield' But I didn't like some others, such as Katey Melua, so I deleted them.
