McNally, "This is how it feels" is where I also lost a lot of interest
in the Golden Palominos. Call me partial to Syd Straw, I guess.
Have you heard her 2nd solo albumn? I rather liked it, although
it wasn't nearly as good as suprise, although IMHO not much could be.

Hmmm.. I haven't heard her second solo album but I have to admit that
actually I didn't much care for her first one..
I was looking at a new-ish Golden Palominos disc in Tower today and
was tempted by the fact that the vocalist they'd used on "This is How
It Feels" and the following album had left and Bill Laswell and Nicky
Skopelitis had returned.. Unfortunately Tower's prices are much too
high for me to take a chance on an album I'm not pretty sure I'll like..
On the other hand, the disc I wound up with (the new "Tito and the
Tarantulas" disc) sounded a lot better in the store -- I'm probably going
to wind up regretting taking a chance on it. (however, it was only 2/3
the price of the Golden Palominos disc, which makes a difference..)

Must be a greatest hits collection of some sort, those're from different
albums, I think..

Bill Laswell is a genius.
Have you heard any of his solo work?

I've got a bunch of his work, though honestly his solo stuff isn't
generally my favorite -- I like his work with "Material" best,
followed by his work performing with and producing many of the artists
with whom he frequently collaborates.
If you're a Laswell fan I assume you've heard Material's "Seven Souls"
but if, for any reason whatsoever, you don't have it and aren't familiar
with it you should run, not walk, to the nearest decent record store and
pick up a copy..

Material's albums are on a number of different labels. The re-issue of
"Sevel Souls" is on Triloka. If you buy the re-issue, ignore the first
three tracks -- for some reason when they re-released it they added three
"bonus" remixes at the beginning (!) of the album. "Seven Souls" is a
middle-eastern influenced album with spoken word lyrics by William S.
Burroughs on several tracks and I *really* like it. Other Material
albums that I'd recommend (which sound nothing at all like "Seven Souls")
include "The Third Power" and "Hallucination Engine" (both on Axiom, IIRC.)

I'm listening to Mercedes Lackey Live, a filk tape. For those of you who don't
know, she has written dozens of fantasy novels.

Ooh, how do you like it Otaking? And where did you get it? I love her
books and have a few MP3's of some songs.

You can get any filk tape at a sf convention. I also have several
web sites that sell 'em, too. (I personally don't like Mercedes Lackey's
voice, but I adore some others.)

An album I picked up at the library today called _The SUltan's PIcnic_ - it's
jazz-meets-arabian-music, with a harmonica and a tuba thrown in for good
measure. Cool stuff...

resp:390 :: "The Sultan's Picnic" is by Rabih Abou-Kahlil, who has quite
a few albums on the Enja label. Abou-Kahlil was a favorite for in-store
play at the old Schoolkids Records, and I got a copy of "The Sultan's Picnic"
and maybe one or two other of his albums after hearing them there.

Runrig, IN SEARCH OF ANGELS. Brand new, the first album with new singer
Bruce Guthro. First impression is generally positive, better than the
last one or two albums.

Re: 387 I bought the Mercedes Lackey tape at Contraption, a SF convention
they had a few weeks ago. I know the dealer who sold the tape to me
will be in Conclave as well. I think that con is in October.

A song by DJ Tricky from his latest album...I _think_ it's called "Eclipse",
but I don't have the track list handy.

"DJ Tricky" =? "Tricky" (= "Tricky Kid")
Assuming we're talking about the same person, I keep hoping I'll like
his solo albums better and then keep being disappointed. I much prefer
the stuff he did with Massive Attack..
