very nice.<\/p>\n
i got myself signed a couple of days ago to the spotify<\/u> service.<\/p>\n
now, you may have picked on the fact i have no time for p2p torrent gubbins, but to be able to select a cd and have it streamed in high quality via a small easy to use application is a perfect way to check out new\/old music.<\/p>\n
so, upon signing up, i did a search for ricardo villalobos<\/strong>, and lo, i began to catch up on the mans history (much of his stuff only ever available on limited 12").<\/p>\n for a few hours it was great being able to take it easy to the twisted electronica of the minimal guru.<\/p>\n then yesterday i logged in only to find out my beloved search results were wiped out.<\/p>\n my heart sank.<\/p>\n was this going to become a muxtape<\/u> type of situation ?<\/p>\n nahhhh .. just that the people behind the service are clearing out the catalogue of non-legit rubbish.<\/p>\n so, after a few minutes of pondering just what i wanted to listen to, i hit upon the idea, that at long last i had the chance to listen to the much vaunted classic, but supposedly very challenging, bitches brew<\/font> by miles davis<\/strong>.<\/p>\n would it be available ? <\/p>\n damn right it is.<\/p>\n as is a huge proportion of his catalogue.<\/p>\n for years i have wanted to check out whether or not i would be able to withstand such manic off the wall psyche-jazz-funk chaos, and so never had the nerve to put my money on the counter. well, due to spotify, i realised yesterday, i could quite easily succumb to the lure of the jazz groove.<\/p>\n so that set off a chain of thoughts : "what about those cannonball adderley<\/strong> albums that david axelrod<\/strong> produced that are only available digitally via $tateside records<\/u>?<\/p>\n oh yes .. they are all there. damn, this could be quite a long session.<\/p>\n so, please bear with me, while i go all mellow yellow, and dig the jazz scene for a while.<\/p>\n oh, i have a few invites if you are interested in checking out the service.<\/p>\n
