These are classics as well. I got them pretty cheap so.. why not...

Same here.. the LP is long gone and this one is a brilliant masterpiece.

Carlo, you are dead right they are great! I´ll certainly grab more of those early Evans releases before I shop the 70s stuff.

How is that trance CD? Shocked

Thanks Stein, I just put Rage in Eden on my to get list. Very Happy

Rage in Eden is my favorite from the post Foxx era. They get everything nearly right and the musical ideas are sound.

I agree about Vienna, I have it, and I think it's a bit overrated. I like questionable tonality, but some times it doesn't sound edgy, elegant or suspenseful, it just sounds out of tune! Shocked

There are at least two tracks on Vienna like that. Very Happy

I did have Rage in Eden, and I remember it as sounding alot more "together" and "matured".

No, I actually meant Boris Numan. Rolling Eyes

Man, Bill Evans... Sigh. He was one of the very best.

And I bought Radioactivity ages ago, one of my last record store CD purchases. My sons stole that CD from me, but now it's in iTunes and the house can share it.

My last purchase was a subscription to the Drone Zone, part of SomaFM. They play a lot of Steve Roach, I've noticed. I also bought a sub to radioIOambient, they play stuff like Orb a lot. I'm finding myself listening to streams more and more, and if I like what I hear, I can find it for sale on the internet. I hear the CD stores are having problems staying in business.

googling Boris Numan didn't give me many results but Stein's post cleared things out Rolling Eyes

I bought Aphex Twin's, "Come to Daddy." Very inspirational beat making.

I tried to buy, then was given, "A prehistory of livecoding", a CD that gives a overview of early Livecoding sessions and performances released by Toplap. Lovely compilation, very diverse stuff.

Awesome record.

Still lots of good vinyl record shops... it's not like ten years ago (it was a complete vinyl orgy... the stuff you come back home with with 20$!!! Those were that days.)

Last vinyl I bought was a re-release of Stakker Humanoid.

Bought this one on a clearance table at a book store last week. Still on the Minimalism research track, this one Minimalism meets Maximal Orchestra, needs a few more listens before ranking.

I did listen to In C played by Bang on a Can while crossing the Allegheny Mountains with the windows open at high speed Friday evening, and I felt like a witch on a broomstick. Echoes of the final Harry Potter book last weekend, you know.

My son has a stack of recently purchased vinyl in the basement, and he's away and the turntable is down there. Maybe I should be down there.

interesting. i just got Ultravox "Vienna" myself a few weeks ago. I had forgotten how good it was. some of the stuff is ok, but the first cut is the best(in my opinion)

Other recent purchases...
Grateful Dead "Blues for Allah" and "Live/Dead". I never liked them that much, but "Blues for Allah" remastered is great.

Oscar Peterson "Night Train" is a good one. you should get "The Sound of the Trio" by him(them). great recording.

I've got that "Shaker Loops" disc. I need to give it another try.

My mind's still blown away by the Alice Cooper/Black Sabbath show I went to last week. The past few weeks have been extreme.... that show, my wife's heart condition flaring up, new goats at the house, jury duty (actually selected this time), work is hell, lalala....

I was so stressed out one night last week I went home and played all my Carpenter's cds.
