I haven\'t written them off completely yet.  Just shackman is on the scrap pile for now.  Perhaps the other Album you mentioned will actually have a groove.  

Who wants Shackman?  Maybe you all know that it sucks because nobody has been eager to claim it yet.

Shackman definitely does nothing to showcase the talent of those 3 gentlemen.

Do you already have Shackman?  If not, it\'s your\'s.  I will have to check out "It\'s a jungle..." next time I am in the hood (most likely 2 weeks from now).

yea,i have them all except the new one..grab the new one,burn it for me,and ill hook you up with its a jungle...

I am not going to take a gamble with an MMW album.  I am saving my pennies for Real Radio, Zones, upcoming PB shows, Staven eggplant parmesan, and a possible move to CA in the coming months.

You buy and I will listen.

Just to add some more fuel to the fire, I don\'t like MMW either!! Very nearly put them in my contribution to this thread.

Have downloaded a couple of shows and wasn\'t impressed at all - so unimpressed tha I didn\'t even bother to burn them as trading material. Got nothing against jazzy improvisation without rigid structures - hell, I love miles\' fusion period and also stuff from the classic Canterbury era eg Soft Machine and Matching Mole; for many years, too, my favourite musician was Rick Wakeman, a man not known for giving the guitar a lead role, but mmw don\'t do it for me at all. Great musicians, but, yes, I will resist the temptation not to use the word, monotonous.

Still, to each their own.

Sorry Freddie, that is a rare occurance. I try to keep it clean, at least, PG-13, on here.

Which adolescent eyes and ears are you protecting?  Drew Kingsley?

MMW..Toads place the beginning of December..cant wait. Al, you should plan your eggplant dinner accordingly. See em to believe em. they are not a band i would trek too far to hear or even on consecutive nights, but a trio that can do some interesting things live.

I agree with the guy who said Shostakovich rocks and Mozart SUCKS.
In terms of Jam bands I like the now defunct OMINOUS SEAPODS! If you don\'t have Matinee Idols by the Ominous Seapods, you gotta get it.

Band that I should like but don\'t: "The Dead" in their current incarnation, and esp. Ratdog.  I like the original Grateful Dead, but the last "Dead" show I saw kinda sucked.  They need to go quit.  As for Ratdog, they are a joke.  Just a worse than average dead cover band is all they are - I can see **** like that every monday and wednesday night at bars around here. But Jerry always rocked and still does.

Ominous Seapods?? That\'s a band I\'ve not heard of in a while - always thought Superman Curse should have been a hit.
