Music Shit / Re: Jazz jazz
« on: February 04, 2008, 09:34:47 PM »
You might try to check out Eddie Fisher, he has one album, "Eddie Fisher & the Next One Hundred Years" which has been reissued and should be pretty easy to track down. His other album "The Third Cup" is pretty hard to find and has never been put on CD. Great album though...think it was kind of a regional Chicago/Detroit hit, which explains it's relative obscurity.
Others that come to mind are
Yusef Lateef's "Detroit" "1984"...a lot of his late 60's/early 70's stuff
Jackie McLean "Let Freedom Ring"
Larry Young "Contrasts" "Of Love and Peace" and of course..."Unity"
Ornette Coleman (maybe a little too obvious, "New York is Now" is one of my favorites)
Joe Henderson "Black is the Color" "featuring Alice Coltrane"
A great comp to check out is "Message from the Tribe", kind of a history of Tribe Records..lot of good spacy/funky stuff on there, Phil Ranelin is always cool too
Might try some of the polish jazz reissues too, I picked up one a while ago- Czeslaw Bartkowski "Drums Dream", that was pretty interesting...kind of the Miles fusion sound but more minimal and disturbing
Hope that helps, lots of cool stuff people have mentioned so far

New Releases For Sale/Distro Updates / New Fontana, Terrible Twos, Frustrations out now on X!
« on: September 28, 2007, 09:44:05 PM »
That's right, 3 new releases for you to get your filthy mits on, starting with:
Fontana- "I Feel Like A Jerk" 7" EP $5.50
Following up a small CD-R release put out a few years ago (X!003) that they recorded when they were 16, Fontana puts out their first release that people outside the Detroit area could possibly find out about. 3 songs of punk rock n roll with all 3 members singing. Fontana's drummer (Colin) also plays guitar in the Frustrations (Fontana came first though). Listen here: http://www.myspace.com/fontanafuntime or hear a different song on the X! myspace
Terrible Twos- "Radical Tadpoles" 7" EP $5.50
5 songs recorded raw on tape by Matt Smith. Terminal Boredom review says "A top five single of the year, guarantee." Pick one up and see what YOU think. Terrible Twos also just put out a single on Big Neck Records, so check that out too. Listen here: myspace.com/terribletwos
Frustrations- "Glowing Red Pill" CD $10
In the works for a while, the Frustrations debut album is done and for sale. Ten songs. Some say psychadelic punk, maybe with some hints of surf, but not really a 60's vibe. Too much noise and feedback for that...I dunno, listen for yourself: http://www.myspace.com/thefrustrations
Frustrations have also just put out a new 3 song single on the die Stasi label. 2 originals plus a Devo cover ("Freedom of Choice"). Go here to order: http://www.myspace.com/diestasi
IN OTHER NEWS, the Michael Yonkers/Little Claw 7" is still availible, check out the new review on Terminal Boredom (terminal-boredom.com, there are also reviews of the new Fontana, Terrible Twos, and Frustrations 7 inches too).
Due to a shitty domain registry company that fucked us over, it looks like our old domain name (x-recordings.com) is history. It's too bad too, the old domain name is printed on all the Frustrations CD's we just got. ANYWAY, will probably buy a different one soon and set up a new site, so watch out for that. In the meantime, please go to the X! Records mypace for all information: http://www.myspace.com/xrecordsdetroit
