Checked out the corpse of Tower records and grabbed Korekyojin's Isotope (Live). Wild Guit., Bass, Drums instrumental trio. Kido Natsuki (guitar player from Bondage Fruit) and Yoshida Tatsuya (Ruins drummer). Just heard it in the car so far but it's obvious that this is up there w/ Who Live at Leeds or Inner Mouting Flame. The guitar rig this guy has couldn't have been arrived at overnight... it's just %$##!! gorgeous and MEAN!! some of the runs don't seem possible. It may not always be as mathematically dense as the Ruins, but it's one of the best instrumental rock fixes out there... (file under high quality brain fry poop)
What's your latest "Discovery"
You know when you buy a new album and it just clicks?! And then you have to play it rather frequently in the mix over and over for the next several days....What's the last album's you bought that really clicked for you?
I just picked up a Jazz trio album that is just a wonderful recording and performance:
It's called "Achirana" on ECM (that label seems to have a lot of great discs!). Vassilis Tsabroplulos, Piano. Arild Andersen, Double-Bass. John Marshall, Drums. Love the 5th cut! That double bass is right there in the room!
Also been enjoying a new classical guitar disc: Julian Bream, "The Ultimate Guitar Collection" on BMG. Great double-disc set. Not that crazy about the recording on this one, but the performance and breadth of the tapestry of work on those two CD's is remarkable.
Any new "discoveries" to share?
