ruins bassists
by Kurt Gottschalk 18 Mar '04

Hisashi Sasaki told me once that tatsuya yoshida watches for guitarists and gets them to play bass, rather than recruiting bassist. they also all tend to play small, guitar-like basses. i think that explains something of yoshida getting the sound he wants. why they come and go like they do is another question. kg _________________________________________________________________ MSN Toolbar provides one-click access to Hotmail from any Web page FREE download! http://clk.atdmt.com/AVE/go/onm00200413ave/direct/01/

Re: Beatles Reissues
by lschwartz 18 Mar '04

On Wed, 17 Mar 2004, "Mitch Tyo" <dexteron0(a)hotmail.com> said the following: "I personally like that any CD releases of Beatles records keep exactly what was in the record sleeve when it was originally released. If I want more information about the albums, or about what was going on with the band at the time, I can research it on my own; there are numerous resourses for that already. What matters most is the music, and as long as that remains intact, I'm satisfied." Mitch, I agree with you, the problem is, as the links I posted demonstrate, many peole feel the it's the music, not the packaging that *is* the main problem. Not only has the technology for the digitial transfer of analoge tapes improved over the years, but there are people out there who have learned to use that technology very artfully and produced some stunning reissues of material of similar vintage. Just give a listen some time to Steve Hoffman's work on the DCC gold reissues of a few Beach Boys disks, the work he did for the same label on the early McCartney catalogue, or his recent, hybrid CD/SACD's of CCR and the Zombies. It's a shame that someone like Hoffman (and he's by no means the only talented remastering engineer out there) has not been given a crack at the Beatles. The sound is all that matters to me, and just a quick listen even to some of the bootleg material out there, most of it a few generations removed from the master tapes themselves, but with no aggressive EQ, hypercompression, or noise reduction, shows just how good those original tapes could sound. Of the available CD's only the two "Past Masters" disks, the EP Boxed set, and a few other scattered bits and pieces sound anything like as good as they could. Even those, which are apparently flat transfers from the master tapes, could sound much better now with the right equipment in the hands of a good remasterer.

Godard
by igorr 123 18 Mar '04

18 Mar '04

Last night I saw for the first time Godard's "Alphaville" and " Pierrot le Fou" and I think they're just brilliant. I don't know if I'm wrong but I think those two movies are something Zorn is making allusions to on his cd Godard/Spilane. For example the Zorn's opening french narration is actually taken from the party scene in "Pierrot..." and is originaly done by Jean Paul Belmondo. Only Zorn is rather using the sinister voice from the "Alphaville". Are there some more allusions I should pay attention to? Godard/Spilane is my favourite album and now I found Godard and Fritz Lang some of the most creative directors. Thanx Igorr. _________________________________________________________________ Play online games with your friends with MSN Messenger http://messenger.msn.nl/

Otomo Yoshihide's New Jazz Quintet
