Re: recent listenings and trouble recording last night



Nice to see another Meshuggah fan on this list! is oBzen new? I haven't 
seen 
anything of theirs since Catch 331/3. I imagine that they release stuff in 
Sweden before it hits the US.

My recent listening:
Mike Ladd: Nostalgiator, the new album by hip-hops most literate rapper.
Radiohead: OK Computer, just reading Tim Footman's book-length critical 
analysis of the album, which prompted me to re-examine it. It's still not 
my 
fave Radiohead, that remains Kid A. But it is still a remarkable album.
Horacee Arnold: Tales of the Exonerated Flea. A drummer friend of mine 
played me the virtually pure Unobtainium vinyl of this a few decades ago, 
I 
just tracked down the CD re-issue. Prime early fusion, with some amazing 
polyrhythmic writing, featuring Abercrombie, Towner, and some amazing work 
by Jan Hammer, in his Rhodes and Minimoog genius days.
Still listening to a ton of Hammond jazz, Larry Young, Big John Patton, 
etc.
At the moment, in a fit of pure nostalgia, I am spinning Return to 
Forever's 
No Mystery, which I haven't heard for literally 20 years. Has aged better 
than I thought it would.
