On the topix of Brotmann, I personally think he is living 90% of his reputation and I would not feel very sad if he stopped making records.
I think you must hear any of the Chicago Tentet CDs before you make a statement like that- if you have, then fair enough, but I think you're way off.
Not that all his stuff is bad, but when I listen to "Nipples" for example, I don't have any strong desire to rush out and >by "Noise Of Wings".
I'm a fan and I can't even remember what the hell Noise of Wings is. And Nipples was recorded over 30 years ago- you can hardly base his current output on that. Nipples isn't really that great anyway compared to a lot of his stuff. In fact it fits into the lazy (even though blaring) music for a lazy audience problem I was writing about before. I have a feeling this one sells more than many of his other albums and it's all about perception, too bad. But no one will review this album at this stage of the game and really give an honest criticism. ----Ryan Novak __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
