No,...Yeah, I was surprised by the Yamauchi as well. <BR/><BR/>No, not too grumpy. :-) I admit it's rather unfair, but I think most of us agree that there can be certain exterior characteristics (of anything, but here CDs) that cause one to wince upon encounter. Like track titles. One attempts, of course, to discount that when listening--but who knows how successful that endeavor is? But things like group name and cut titles at least imply (or can imply) a certain stance toward one's...listening public, a pose, if you will. If that stance is in accord with one's own demeanor, all well and good. If not, it runs the "danger" of embedding a prejudice that needs to be overcome in the listener. <BR/><BR/>In any case, as mentioned, the area plumbed by the Epicureans isn't so much in my realm of interest, so my comments should be taken with that in mind. But i can surely understand others more in tune with their approach enjoying the disc.Brian Olewnickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08567239067604835372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28154988.post-24962605049753408362008-09-27T08:17:00.000-04:002008-09-27T08:17:00.000-04:00I'm bringing home a handful of tour-only Yamauchi ...I'm bringing home a handful of tour-only Yamauchi live CD-Rs of a show he did in Berlin last year, I'd guess those would be more in the abstract direction than this one.<BR/><BR/>NP: Keith's solo set from last weekend. pretty sure this will be ErstLive 007 if I get the go-ahead from Keith, fucking incredible and pretty much zero overlap with The Room.Jon Abbeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16554860803665562805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28154988.post-70279651888244729092008-09-27T06:43:00.000-04:002008-09-27T06:43:00.000-04:00hey Brian, were you in a grumpy mood when you wrot...hey Brian, were you in a grumpy mood when you wrote those last brief reviews??!! :D<BR/><BR/>I'm surprised to read your description of the Yamauchi disc, I had high hopes for his music judging from what I'd heard so far.<BR/><BR/>Personally, I've struggled to enjoy the Kelley solo so far. I'm not sure why but its not connected with me yet.Richard Pinnellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00168522717135806763noreply@blogger.com
