Who is your overall favorite guitarist?
Hey Bucsis, 1)I'm not the only lunkhead here who can't come up w/ one favorite guitarist. Does he/she have to wear the overalls or play them like an air guitar? 2)Didn't you put the overalls on Steve Morse? 3)Maybe I should try the Velveeta w/out... 
Who is your overall favorite guitarist?
Having to pick one is as cruel and unusual as it gets. Our friend Buscis 2 oghtta' be flogged and dunked. No offense, but some of you guys are living on velveeta and wonderbread sandwiches. I'm with you Inna, kind of thought McLaughlin would pop u...

Ivan, wish I had a time machine, I couldn't be more jealous. 
HELP Electrocompaniet stole Christmas
Sean's response to Sos's first post seems perfectly on target to me. The warranty verbage is completely moot. This problem exists primarily because one arm of EC wants to make sure that their cut of the profit stays as big as possible above all el... 
Real Stinkers
What a crack up! Captain Beyond! Haven't heard that name in quite a few years. That first one was an indispensible 70's longhair stoner record, the critics hated it, but it was one that you hung onto. They could have made it different, but better?... 
Who's better? Jean-Luc Ponty or Eileen Ivers
Didier Lockwood has put out some timeless groundbreaking stuff. New World, Surya, and the Lockwood/Vander/Top/Widemann record are brilliant. I'm a huge fan, but Kid, 1234, Pheonix 90, and the DLG 96 releases are corny, rife w/ metronomic disco bea... 
Who's better? Jean-Luc Ponty or Eileen Ivers
Ponty's output has been huge (in quality and quantity). The MPS records before Zappa, the Zappa period, the work with McLaughlin and the first few solo discs that followed brought him alot of well deserved acclaim. Then his records started becomin... 
No good new music?
Hey Phase, haven't heard Philadelphia Experiment yet, noticed that their 1st disc has Uri Caine, Christian McBride and Pat Martino on it. Sometimes I'm kind of leery of discs that use alot of samples, but can't deny that there are a lot of great o... 
Mark Levinson 27 Clipping
Thanks for responding (this site is #$@*&+ great). A rep from Audio Consultants in Evanston IL emailed me w/ the following,"The 27 has a soft clipping circuit and other protection circuitry, so there is no danger here". I suppose the speakers ... 
No good new music?
MONKS?...Doesn't ring a bell, but I'll be on the lookout for em' now. Yup, Ege Bamyasi (a true stoner) is the record w/ the can of okra on the cover, Suzuki is on that one. Mooney came back and did the vocals on their last (and sonically most pris... 
No good new music?
Hey Phasecorrect, Does Mooney Suzuki have a Can connection that you know of?Malcom Mooney was the first Can vocalist and Damo Suzuki was their second. It seems unlikely that pure coincicence is at work here. On Can's Ege Bamyasi there is a lyric f... 
No good new music?
Fortunately, there is no record of how many recordings I spend (my very) limited disposable income on. Here are some recent scores that I like:Alamaailman Vasarat, VasaraasiaOther Quartet, Sound StainsTony Oxley, Floating PhantomsLa Perra, Friccio... 
Rare Music?
The Zappa, Does Humor Belong in Music (though real spiff) isn't all that rare. F.Z's Them or Us also has a version of Whipping Post on it, but Dweezil only solos on the live one. Make a Jazz Noise Here, Roxy and Elsewhere, Ahead of Their Time and ... 
JM REYNAUD OFFRANDE Opinions Please
Hi, Picked up a pair of Offrande speakers about a month ago. They are replacing an old pair of Spendor Sp1's that I sold for $500. The Offrande has better imaging, but it does not trounce the Sp1. I'm pretty sure these speakers are post 2000 vinta...
