No good new music?


Curious as to how many 2002 new releases people bought this year - I bought a lot of music this year in general, but also felt like there was a lot of good new release this year as well. Being nearly the end of the year, I looked at my music inventory spreadsheet for how many 2002 releases I had and came up at >40.

How many 2002 releases have some of you purchased? It seems like this is some measure of how much good "new" music there is out there.

Wow...good question...I dont know if they have a connection...but chances of putting those names together out of the blue is pretty remote...is the LP your referring to the one with the soup can on the cover? I got a couple Can albums, but that one sticks out for some reason...by the way...ever here of the MONKS?
MONKS?...Doesn't ring a bell, but I'll be on the lookout for em' now. Yup, Ege Bamyasi (a true stoner) is the record w/ the can of okra on the cover, Suzuki is on that one. Mooney came back and did the vocals on their last (and sonically most pristine) record Rite Time.

Maybe a music festival would be a good place for a bunch of 'goners to give each other the business in person.
Yeah...a music fest would be a real hootenany...a couple of cold ones...a few cigars...and a whole lotta "bantering"...what are your favorite Can albums? I also like early PIL with jah wobble on bass...great stuff..
Duane...if you like fusion jazz with no vocals...check out the Philadelphia Experiment...they have a fretless bass player that eats Flea from the Redhots for breakfast...no joke...also..a very good,clean,audiophile recording...and one of my favorite "test discs"...along with Photek.....
Hey Phase, haven't heard Philadelphia Experiment yet, noticed that their 1st disc has Uri Caine, Christian McBride and Pat Martino on it. Sometimes I'm kind of leery of discs that use alot of samples, but can't deny that there are a lot of great ones out there. Which disc of theirs is your favorite?
On your Can question, I think pretty much all of them have their strengths. If some turd came into my house, put a gun to my head and said he would take all my Can except 1, I'd probably have Future Days after he left. Haven't heard Pil for at least 15 years (could be one for the "buried treasure" thread. Of the Wobble records I had I liked The Bedroom Album best. In a similar vein, the early Holger Czukay stuff is pretty good too.
