I want to hear the full, unedited version of Black Sabbath's "A Bit of Finger/Sleeping Village/The Warning" that didn't make the album!
30 minutes of Iommi soloing... *drools*

I read somewhere that the Deluxe edition of Black Sabbath would include it. But instead it had "Warning (part 1)" that is just 4-6 minutes

I don't like metal, n00b.

The first snow (well, sleet) of the upcoming winter is hitting Helsinki at the moment. Looks very nice.

I'm afraid I'll be complaining about the same thing tomorrow. I got some strong painkillers for the missing tooth, perhaps that works...

Mmmm In A Silent Way pwns.

I've heard it before but not in ages.

It's a pretty damn finely mixed album too.  Very crisp and Miles' trumpet isn't too ear piercing.

Neither do I care it's not prog.

I do need that album though.

When I bought The Inner Mounting Flame, In A Silent Way and Bitches Brew, they also had Porgy & Bess but as this was earlier Miles and I wanted Electric Miles at the time, I didn't buy it.

Now I have to make do with just In A Silent Way because I think my brother has The Inner Mounting Flame and Bitches Brew... actually, only the latter I think.  I believe he gave the former back to me.  I must locate it.

I actually prefer McLaughlin's playing on this, it's far more understated that that on his Mahavishnu work.

It's easy to grasp.  It's not rocket science. 

It's just amazingly almost transcendental music.  Quite good study music too.  Although I try not to study with music on.  I like to listen to an album without too many distractions.

If I want to study, I'd put some trashy Reiki music on, or Tangerine Dream or Klaus Schulze.   Or even Simon Railton or Brian Eno's ambient works.

Ah see, I prefer vocalless jazz more.

Although I like George Gershwin's Summertime.

Actually, my first real classical/jazz love was Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue.  My father used to play it a lot on cassette.  I still haven't got myself a copy though.  I guess that's where some of my initial jazz/prog/jamband love came from ('cause it's lengthy and not a 3 minute pop song, you see).  That and Big War Movie Themes which we had on vinyl.  Which, as the title suggests, is music from war films.

I also happen to much prefer Coltrane's My Favorite Things over the Sound of Music one.
