He's gotta be one of the greatest percussionists ever born. His work with Gong was incredible. I was listening to Magick Brother last night. It doesn't sound dated. Music ahead of it's time. Thanks again, DM. See you at the station soon!!A.O.O.F.Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00720016241289074162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758121285650208378.post-75047547674824847072010-01-17T07:06:10.574+01:002010-01-17T07:06:10.574+01:00A long overdue Happy New Year A.O.O.F.C.!

I've finally got some free time to get back on the computer (with health issues in check too) so I'm trying to catch up with what you've got here on the old blog.<br /><br />And this caught my eye right off the bat. I've got some of his albums, including the ones You've already posted here previously,but the live album is one I've missed. <br /><br />Sorry to read about Pierre's passing away back at 2005 (didn't know about that), so I can't wait to hear this as a tribute to his unsung Jazz genius.<br /><br />Thank again!<br /><br />D.MooseAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758121285650208378.post-57607588640547715872009-12-30T00:09:07.621+01:002009-12-30T00:09:07.621+01:00Hi, Eric.

There are a few band's like JW who produce complex multi-layered music, and if you can't hear all the various sonic nuances and subleties, it's impossible to appreciate. I've just listened to a Japanese remastered version of Steely Dan's "Aja" album on a friends sound system worth 20 Grand (dollars). Man, have I been missing out. I've been listening to the album since 1977, and now new sounds are being introduced to my deprived ears! It's worthwhile "splashing out" on a good sound system. Thanks, and cheers, Eric. I'll talk to you soonA.O.O.F.Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00720016241289074162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758121285650208378.post-16617401115530872062009-12-29T18:05:03.312+01:002009-12-29T18:05:03.312+01:00You're spot on about Pierre's version of G...You're spot on about Pierre's version of Gong.<br />With musicianship of that calibre you know something has to be good and I have my fave albums like you but I agree even the lesser ones are still leaps 'n' bounds ahead of the more celebrated music that gets constant kudos.<br /><br />Thanks very much for looking into the Jade Warrior -Breathing The Storm :D <br />I have a 192 rip too, but for me the problem with such low bitrates on this type of music is there's much going on etc and it just loses alot @ 192.<br />Acoustic stuff, or stripped down music you can getaway with 192. <br />Thanks and I shall wait with great anticipation, meanwhile I'm delving into your other great shares.Ericnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758121285650208378.post-53528083970584231372009-12-29T02:55:51.159+01:002009-12-29T02:55:51.159+01:00Hi, Eric.

Even if all his songs weren't masterpieces, his musicianship made his and Gong's music worth listening to.<br /><br />By the way, I said I'd post Breathing The Storm by Jade Warrior, but its only a 192 rip. I'll wait to post a better quality version. Cheers, Eric.
