Bill Frisell - Unspeakable

It's really good, but at this point I prefer Gone, Like a Train and Nashville to this. That may change with multiple listenings.

Samples from the Linn website from Kuniko plays Reich, including an arrangement for percussions of "Electric Counterpoint", which I am well familiar with (the Pat Metheny version). It's wonderful. I'm going to have to get this.

Scarcity of Miracles, the track they have on blip.tv from here.

Wow. That's pretty, almost AOR, the only thing that saves it from crossing over into yacht rock territory is ...alright, I don't know. Can't quite put my finger on it, but it's the bed of "thinking man's music" -- mostly Tony Levin and Jakszyk, I think -- Fripp doesn't do much more than some ornamentation (although behind the scenes I'm pretty sure he's a lot more influential). Also puts me in mind of Sunday All Over The World, for some reason, without the scat-/jazz-based vocals.

But, you know, it's Fripp, Gavin, Levin, et al, plus it'll be available on DVD-A, so I'll be getting it.

I found a bunch of really cheap new Innova CDs over at my favorite used CD store in the modern classical section. Surprisingly most of these are very good albums, not a single dud so far.

Timothy McAllister - Glint (2010)

Giving the Flaming Lips Box Set Heady Nuggs a spin, overall sound is pretty good except a very defective Clouds Taste Metallic side 1
