What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report

Emitt's new album is awesome--especially if one takes it on its own merits rather than comparing it with his vintage material. I hesitated buying it for a good long while, because the (admittedly brief) samples I heard were kind of . . . meh. But then I finally decided to buy the album. And, boy, I'm glad I did! You really have to listen to it in its entirety to get the full scope of its brilliance. Sometimes samples can be helpful in ascertaining the merits (or lack thereof) of a particular album, but in this case, they didn't tell even a fraction of the story. It really is a fantastic effort.

ghosthouse, 

I think you'll really like Joanne Shaw Taylor. Her guitar skills are amazing and her vocal are unique as well. The CD sound quality is pretty good also. She has a ton of YouTube links showing her laying it down with some amazing solo's. Check out my links over on my "Whats playing...." thread. 

By the way, she has some tour date on her web sites where she is performing with some of our favorites.  She's scheduled to perform with Glenn Hughes in August, 3 shows with Joe Bonamossa at a British Blues Explosion concert honoring blues greats Page, Clapton and Beck. She also has a show booked at Daryl's House.

Looking forward to the new discs from;
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Radio head

bdp, i only know emmitt rhodes' first record, but i got the new one queued up. also the wondermints first (curiosly not on spotify), which i haven't heard for a long while. you obviously lead a more interesting life than i do...
in the same vein, check out cotton mather's kontiki, which is something of a masterpiece of the genre--tuneful and really, really smart

Bersarin Quartett III.  Call it Modern Composition or Dark Ambient...it has elements of both.  Moody and engaging with interesting sound textures. Melodic at times but not melody driven.  Highly atmospheric.  Works as background but rewards attentive listening as well.  A nice addition to his I & II.  From the excellent Denovali label.
