I still remember the day I heard music from this record. I was a student spending time in a record shop in my hometown. The guy at the desk, "Giorgione" (Big Giorgio) was a great music fan and happy to introduce any kind of music to anyone attending the shop. I listened to the first track and was mesmerised. I couldn't buy the record that day, but it got stick to my mind and bought it months later. Probably my first ECM record. Giorgione is not with us anymore but his love for music left traces like this one. This is for you.

Lovely story and nice sentiment. A huge fan of John though I don’t have many of his albums. I’d definitely recommend Road to St. Ives which is also on ECM and very similar to Private City.
I have also that one, thanks, and few more. He has a vast discography which I am sure is worth exploring.

No worries. He does have a vast discography and still doing his stuff. Here’s two more on ECM I’d also recommend: both with Barre Phillips - Mountainscapes and Journal Violone II.
Yesterday I bought the last record of Gavin Friday: Ecce Homo
The prominent electronic rhythm patterns (created by Dave Ball of Soft Cell) may not be everybody's cup of tea, but I find interesting the way they are melded with acoustic instruments. I cannot say I am a fan of GF, but I have a high consideration of him as an artist: he his one of those ones that will publish something only when he will have something to offer. The track Lamento is wonderful. Can't wait to see him live at the Vicar.
I have the CD with bonus tracks, but I don't think they offer much added value to the standard edition.
