It's organized sound so in a broad sense it's music. At some point I was amazed and said to myself: "How did I miss this before - This is REALLY amazing music." Like Boromir I hesitate to comment on sound collagists (turn-tablists" is it?). Are his contributions to music as strong and important as those of Cecil Taylor, Coltrane or other powerful improvisers like Braxton, Evan Parker, Schlippenbach, Brotzmann or (for that matter) Julius Hemphill? I don't think so BUT he DID make me a more careful listener. He was a crusty old dude who made few compromises in his music AND he made a difference. My advice to people is to keep trying him. There is NO ONE like Bailey and some of those "Company" records and the duets with Evan Parker, Braxton and Oxley are, IN MY VIEW, musical treasures. They are folksy and/or eccentric AND QUITE UNIQUE. I think of him like I do some of the most accomplished "outsider" artists (such as Thornton Dial). They just seem rather restrained even when they are loud and "noisy." I don't know if I think Laswell is "poison" so much as BORING! NOW, as far as I'm concerned, Bailey is another matter. So I dump them because I hear so very many limiting factors especially rhythmically and harmonically. They FEEL TOO chic-pop for me to keep coming back.
My problem with even the more interesting albums like Low Life and Massacre is after listening one or two times I tend to trade them in for music I find more engaging. This is a humorous discussion! I haven't down loaded this and probably won't BUT I CAN enjoy some of Laswell's music particularly the Brotzmann collaborations.
I very much dug the two records from Derek & the Ruins (not to be confused with Derek & the Dominos). I kinda like Bailey branching out in the 90s, getting close to the NY downtown scene, but it's admittedly a different bag from the old British school of improv, associated with the Incus label (which at times can get too austere for me). The music: well, this is probably the closest Derek Bailey would ever be to getting funky (if you like that sort of thing). General info on flacs here to suit your need: This is all getting a bit geeky, though. Another little nifty programme is the Flac frontend which can be found here: With this one, you can decode flac files to wav which can be burnt to cd and encoded to another format, such as mp3. It's not a freebie, but on the other hand, a truly Swiss Army knife of solutions for digital audio. So here's the mp3 version: My preferred tool for all kinds of ripping and burning and audio conversions is Easy CD - DA Extractor (professional). Since I've spent most of the day staring at the screen of the home computer, I might as well do the odd bit of conversion.

if you are on a mac, mac flac is supposedly the codec you need and the plugin many people use to deal with flac.

there is a freeware program called burrrn ( for pc users) which will burn most formats, its free and it doesnt embed itself into the registry and cause debilitating problems. which makes more work for uploaders having to post to multiple formats. what it comes down to is ,downloaders being to lazy to do their homework.get a conversion program. ipods etc ipods make music sound like its coming out of tin cans to me. i dont understand why people want to convert down from flac to mp3. i dont see why, most cd burning programs burn flac files (the decompression takes place during the process. you or someone else was saying they need winamp to handle flac. Jazzme, i would post this in mp3 for you and the vandermark but i exeeded my dl limit and have no bandwidth, so if you can wait a week. Lineage is unknown, but possible a soundboard recording. Could somebody please do the honours and upload an mp3 version. I must admit I haven't heard this in it's entireity, but from bits that I've listened to, Bailey almosts seems to play in time with the rhythm section a la John McLaughlin, but then there are other parts where he seems to ignore them. Bill Laswell I only know from his projects with John Zorn, but if you look at his career, he's played in countless rock and fusion bands. Jack DeJohnette is one of my all-time favourite drummers, but I've never heard him playing the sort of music you'd normally expect Bailey to play. I was intrigued by his cohorts on this recording when I came across it.
Perhaps some afficionado can add some more qualified opinion after listening. I'm one of the few around here who does not appreciate Derek Bailey's fine qualities, so I'm not the ideal person to present this.
