Just found out about this album a couple of weeks ago. Fantastic stuff!!

I like that album. For anyone interested, you can stream an album track on my site (along with a review).

Also, Solborg has a new release "The Trees," which features Evan Parker, Mats Eilertsen, Herb Robertson, and Peter Bruun. Listen on Soundcloud.

Just had a look at your site from this post. Very nice. I will be checking it out further, thank you. One thing in particular caught my ear, Adam Fairhall – “The Imaginary Delta”. I haven't bought much music in the last few years but I might have to untie the purse strings.

Yeah, obviously that Fairhall "Imaginary Delta" album really floated my boat. I'm still pretty amazed by what I hear on it. P.S. Thanks for the kind words about my site.

Cheers.

Another album that I have finally gotten around to that is absolutely superlative. Not sure what took me so long because I wanted it the day it came out.



Oh that Clean Feed label.

Hey Alypius, ain't it time to get that 2013 list fired up? I'm up 17 albums so far and many are stellar, including 4 by ECM(!) that are darn good.

Cheers, Robert

OK, Rob. I wasn't sure when best to do it (I had planned either May 1 or June 1). Last year, I went much earlier because so much good stuff came out so early. I'll have a thread up in a few minutes.
