I used to record his shows on minidisc, ( yes, I know, the next great thing …that wasn’t and swiftly overtaken by MP3s etc and you couldn’t quite get a whole show on one disc!) but I I still have them and have listened to them again at intervals. It was the wonderfully absurd recordings like the Swedish Elvis with his pronunciation obviously learn from scratched records…Duspicious Minds etc. Much missed here.
Some recent listens
I’d read this was the crossing point between early and late Miles…the next step being Bitches Brew.
Interesting album that does seem to weave both old and new threads

Not so much a stepping stone as something very different - a whole album of Rashied Ali drumming on the left and Coltrane on the right with saxophone and bells

Sigh - Gallows Gallery: Special Edition (2012 limited edition, remastered)
Another album I haven’t spun in a spell and another I initially had a lukewarm response to. In this case Gallows Gallery was a release I was eagerly anticipating after loving 2001’s Imaginary Sonicscape, an album that helped crystalize my ardor for experimental, third-wave black metal. That Gallows Gallery wasn’t the manic tour-de-force of its avant-garde predecessor stung and I felt it was lacking both in experimentation and overall songwriting chops. Returning to it after a long absence and the music on offer is better than I remembered, even if Mirai and co couldn’t re-create those extra-special riffs that zig-zag with gut-slicing delight as in the past. Still worth spinning all the same.
This another gem from Blood Music’s stable and the sound quality is beyond reproach offering a big, meaty sound that is crystalline in its detail and delicate as a spider’s web.

Havn’t heard of these before, they sound great. A good Monday morning listen.

Jon Muq - Flying Away
After listening to the Bonny Light Horseman new release often posted here, this album was linked by Roon when it finished. Another new release that and a very good listen!

Can’t get on with their later stuff, just seems a bit too slick to me. This, on the other hand…
