> Love Cry Want holds up much better. As a matter of interest, does anyone know who exactly the guitarist Nicholas is? Clearly he was something to do with the actual release of the disk in 1997 so he is still around but remains a mystery. Maybe he's a member of this list? Cheers Richard Gardner

Love Devotion Surrender does have Larry Young on it. I seem to remember his solo on the cut "A love Supreme" as being quite good, an interesting and understated contrast to the guitar solos. My favorate Mclaughlin was Devotion, with the rock and roll drumming power of Buddy Miles and, Larry Young kicking ass on the organ.

As of a few years ago, the "whitey album" was floating around on compact disc, don't know if it is still available. Just wanted to say thanks for the suggestions on the Larry Young - Lawrence of Newark, and complete Mwandishi recordings (found them both in the used section yesterday). When looking for Love Cry Want however, I also came across an album entitled Love Surrender Devotion with John McLaughlin and Carlos Santana that was recorded around the same time. Was this a companion album of sorts, or completely unrelated. Either way, does anyone remember it or have any comments on it. Also, anyone here hear about a Fred Frith reissue album (containing old film score material)? Thanks, Nathan Just booked tickets to see ICP Orchestra here in Ann Arbor, MI.

hi I dont remember the titles by heart, but my faves are 2, 5 and 8 by far. I never got really into the live CDs. The 2 double ones with the chamber versions are both very very good. manolis

least accessible/worst SY
by ahorton 13 Mar '03

13 Mar '03

Least accessible SY record is probably SYR2 (the blue one)- I can't remember the name...something like "Slapkammers mit Slagroom" or something like that. It's pretty formless, and doesn't quite go anywhere (I really love the other three of the original SYR recordings). SYR5 (kim gordon, ikue mori, DJ olive) looks great on paper but sounds like mongoloid bashing when you actually pop the disc in. Kim's a talentless hack, that's been established; but I thought Olive and Mori would somehow salvage the recording. I was wrong. "Silver Session" is inaccessible, yet interesting. It's essentially the band leaning all of their equipment against their amplifiers, recording the feedback drones, and then editing it all down into a group of songs. It's pretty, though- at that high volume/saturation, the sound turns into a sort of strange, creamy texture. andrew

I don't think so either -- but I wasn't addressing "difficulty" so much as "lack of accessibility"; compared to, say, _Goo_, it sure ain't "accessible", it's a fucking mess (a different way of saying >"The White(y) Album" is stylistically all over the place, I suppose) ... I don't think there's anything on there that would appeal to someone looking for "Silver Rocket Pt. 2" or "Goo's Revenge", and aside from the tracks from the 7", there's nothing particularly "catchy". "Fucking around in the studio records" may be fun to listen to for fans (_Jamming with Edward_, _Let it Be_ bootlegs) and occasionally transcendent (early Royal Trux) but can rarely be described as "accessible for beginners". -- Jim Flannery newgrange(a)talmanassociates.com
