Tír Na HiFi

A trip up to the capital on this bloody freezing day and no vouchers :-( Still I managed to get some
fantastic stuff.....


My first from Spindizzy since my friend Adrian left. What a find?!!It's a double Lp of outtakes and alternative
versions including stuff like the 30 minute jam session that is Precision Debating and the 11 minutes
that is Seven Dollars in my Pocket Blues (sic) plus stuf I have already like Cherokee Mist and three tracks from the
Clarke Uni. gig...


Got this one from Celtic Note and was delighted to find the sound quality vastly improved from
an earlier abysmal version that I own...and beautifully packaged too.


Espers 3 from Freebird. Brian was telling me that the shop suffered water damage but very
little stock was damaged TG.


Another one from Freebird...and a Julie n' Dave favourite too :-(


Oh the horror! There goes my credibility! From Celtic Note too. Just curious to see if they could
cut it live...yeah, right :-)

Called down for the fourth time to RAGE and again it was closed!!! Apparently they suffered extensive
flood damage this time...



Got this fantastic little ditty as well! Comes with a two hour DVD too and is 100% unofficial :-)

The above two directly influenced by that Derek fella

What's the Grant Green album like. You missed me by about half an hour....

very smooth. I know little enough of GG but what I've heard I like.

Now I'm feeling more in my element! This gorgeous double Lp with 48 page book arrived all the way from
Important Records in America. Will post more info in the Electronic section later....




Attention Patterns featuring Pauline Oliveros, Eliane Radigue, Yoshi Wada and Sun Circle

Then you know about Green Street (my favourite) and Idle Moments...

I was in HMV today and they have a couple of offers - one is a repackaged Basie 2 CDs - you get "Atomic Basie" and "One More Time" for 5.99 and also John Coltrane, "Blue Train", "Traneing In" and "Dakar" again all for 5.99. Good value if the sound is a copy of the originals. I'll be listening later and should know more.

Slayer Rule!

Yes, cassette!

Music on vinyl re-issue

Another gorgeous vinyl (double) artefact arrived earlier today and was sitting waiting for me when I arrived back from town...
Can't wait to hear it tonight. Will post more details in the Electronica section later....Got this one from Norman Records up Leeds way.



Loscil - Endless Falls (Kranky)

I had seen the count basie offer in hmv but passed as I know nothing about the music or genre and having bought a couple of specials recently that were disappointingly poor recordings. Are both offers (basie and coltrane) highly regarded albums similar to Miles davis's kind of blue?
