Do you prefer it over the original?

This, and this, and that too, and especially that other one.

Terrible Lizard! Great to see you man. Where the hell have you been? :)

I was caught in the far seas of peach fuzz to the west. There were many tears and restraining orders, let's not get into it.

What happened to the evil mickey mouse? I loved that avy!

Jesus, I haven't had that avatar for years!

It's great to have you back. Stick around. :)

on the most part, yes

except "Brain Damage/Eclipse" pales to the original

then again, as i've said before, i don't really like the original much, besides the above track and "Money"

I downloaded this and really love when the meandering pianos come in throughout the album. "Leo Needs a New Pair of Shoes" is a great example, and a good song.

Right now I'm digging the new 180 gram vinyl version of David Bowie's Outside album called 'Excerpts from Outside'.

By necessarily jettisoning all the pretentious twaddle in order to squeeze this work onto a single LP, the focus here is on the songs and the resulting album is so much stronger than the CD version that it could easily stand among Bowie's best 70's work. It could, in fact, be a logical extension of the direction he took with 'Scary Monsters', as if that horrible apathetic 80's era never even happened, and isn't that a pleasant thought?

Hard to find and expensive but well worth it for die hard fans. A little glimpse of what might have been. All of Bowie's 90's records were full of excellent moments, so I hope this trend of seeing how they might have existed in the abbreviated LP format will continue.

Just because you have 80 minutes doesn't mean you should feel compelled to fill 80 minutes. I'll take quality over quantity every time.

joy circumcision's avatar reminded me of the fantastic Morton Feldman so I decided that I'd give him some airtime. His series of odes are brilliant, but this one strikes the note of sheer brilliance that one can come to expect of Feldman:

Three Voices for Joan La Barbara

It's an a capella album of (you guessed it) three female singers, and it's a fantastic listen and I'd recommend it to fans of Feldman and contemporary classical as a whole.

Lone - Galaxy Garden

a neat little album that came out this year. It sounds as if it belongs in a Mario sports game, like Mario Tennis or Strikers
