How come this guy was so far under our radar?

[Dave W]

err... you just did...  

Seriously, I'm never bothered by what someone else likes, I'm just not going to acknowledge that the music or musicians are great.

Uwe never forgets anything. This dates from fusion and prog discussions at the old Pit about 6 years ago. I expressed my extreme dislike of a certain "mahavishnu"   - oops, there's that gag reflex again.    We had a lively discussion. Or two or three.

Anyway, proceed. Don't mind me. There's no disputing taste.

I even remember the war!

I even remember the war!

Don't mention the war!

[Denis]

Damn, Dave, that was the funniest episode ever!

[Nocturnal]

That is still one of my favorite episodes of that show. 

[Highlander]

I even remember the war!

You started it...!

What an obscene distortion of history! Poland did.

As a part time dj, I resent a radio station being blamed in any way!

[uwe]

Touché!!!

[Highlander]

Lies, damned lies, and lawyers...

I might as well continue to wave the Swedish flag. Made In Sweden featuring Georg Wadenius who also played guitar in Blood Sweat and Tears '72-'75. There's even a bass solo here to Dave's delight.

There are three big, honking pickups on that bass.

That bass player should have given himself the artist name Stæk Åtø. Pronounced staccato.

What is it that forces so many Jazz players to play these machine gun burst of chromatic notes when they solo?  I miss the point entirely, it is neither rhythmic nor melodic and John McLauglin and Al di Meola are still faster than they.

I actually enjoyed it up to the bass solo. Few bass & drum solos I can sit through.

[uwe]

I don't mind a melodically or rhythmically interesting bass solo at all, you are even allowed to play harmonies with me. But not these 16th note bursts that make no sense nor please the ear.
