A friend of mine mentioned today that The Chills had resigned to Flying Nun with the idea to reissue Kaleidoscope World, Submarine Bells and Brave Words....yowsa!

a-ha, bow expanding his horizons into some nether planets there!
alright and a happy new year to you, brother!
i love the way anna calvi plays, for starters - and then the sheer energy which sharon jones brings to her r&b is something else entirely.
and tom waits for you?!
i still haven't heard his new one, tho the word has been that it's back to the junkyard rhythms of swordfishtrombones, one i love.

steve hillage!
some of it bogs down a bit imo, but when they roll, my god do they ROLL!
i already had a 'gong live france 1975' with 5 songs, but this fleshes everything out, with both the french and marquee selections being SBDs and upped in flac.
VERY nice for the most part.

Hillage is another one that I just never have explored. Like you, I get the impression from the bits and pieces that I have heard that I'd probably run across tunes that I'd either really really like or really really not care for.
Speaking of prog guitarists: I've also sampled the new double CD by Steve Hackett, "Beyond the Shrouded Horizon", and it sounds VERY promising! Don't have any of his solo stuff either....maybe I'll start here and work my way back.

The new Hackett is pretty darn good- definitely different, more steely than his 80s-stuff. |

i realized i didn't mention those were Gong live sets (w/ 'illage) up there. ~ NP:  meh, largely. i read 'better than yngwie' and thought maybe he takes that technical thing somewhere new, being a polack and all. but no - just like yngwie, this is borderline interesting for a coupla songs, then you stop waiting for the 'innovation' i was hoping for. boguslaw sounds satisfied being yngwie, no need to be more. |

btw, i DL'd 7 or 8 live steve hackett sets from one site a couple of years ago...wonderful player though he had one of his brothers in the band (bass, i'm thinking) and even though in somecases a decade separated performances, there wasn't THAT much variation.
the band he did with steve howe, now THAT was hackett stepping up.
i've got a wonderful boot of one of their shows.
but yeah, something more 'steely' with hackett, more metallic, sounds like something i need to hear.

this guy is ridiculous.
stylistically, zappa pretty obviously, then perhaps allan holdsworth for his metallicized wes montgomery-isms AND simultaneously with the rock and roll heart of say, steve hunter around the time he played on rock and roll animal...this show has moments where it gets a bit dry (like the zappa-ish squeezing of way more lyrics into a single bar of music than it should handle) and THEN just keneally revs it and exhiliaratingly puts it to the fucking wood. bliss.
my neck snapped 3-4 times already and i'm just on the 10th song...

happy new years to all...........
(1) RN, I'm not a huge fan of Tom Waits (San diego boy he is!) but the most recent is actually pretty damn intriguing..and RN,check out the high rating on metacritic for Bad as Me.....
(2)RN I believe Mike Keannelly (sp?) is also a San diego boy...tons of genius in this part of SoCal!! (including many Nobel laurettes.......at UCSD, Salk, Human Genome Project contributors etc.)
(3) MAARTS......the newest by Bats is a 9/10....utterly fantastic....I just love that sound....kinda bears some semblance to Mojave 3/Neil Halstead......
(4) just downloaded a $3.99 special no Amazon.com of Ladysmith Black Mombaza and Friends, and though I'm not a huge fan of 'world music' (whatever the heck than means/entails) there are some rather wonderful songs.....perfect soundtrack prior to early morning surf session!
Types of music that this narrow-minded, provincial, stick-in-the-mud 55 year old still doesn't )(or currently doesnt) listen too:
(1) opera
(2) symphony (unless Nightmare before Christmas counts!)
(3) hip hop/rap
(4) Jazz
(5) metal
(6) youthful "I am really mad at the world, and I'm going to hold my breath until I turn mauve-blue" emo-punk
!!!!!
