Hiya!

I'm going to NYC next weekend, and I'd like some addresses for specialised
record stores, that sell imports, rare stuff and bootlegs (on CD if possible).

I already know about the "big" places like tower records, but that's not the
kind of store I'm interested in: I want to find rare stuff and boots.

If any of you know any good stores, please mail me the address

True, but that album's major flaw is that is was mixed horribly.  Bruford's
drums sound padded and Howe's guitar is buried as well.  For a good mixing
job, check out Union.  The keyboards are pretty cheesy, but Howe's guitar
is back, gloriously.  And, Bruford gets the *crack* back into his snare while
Levin plays some superb lines on most of his songs.  Silent Talking, Holding
On, and I Would Have Waited Forever all highlight their ability nicely.

I'd consider it an arrangement of sounds in space and time. Rhythm, melody

I keep hearing about this one but I never heard it yet. What album was it

measurements of 4 feet and 33 inches somehow play a part in the music?

He was a famous English horticulturalist and he invented the seed drill.

The name was later used for one of the most innovative bands of the late
sixties/seventies who hung in their during the eighties and survived punk 
and are still hanging in their today. Quite a remarkable achievement really.

Getting on for 25 years now! Not many other bands can boast that longevity.

Oh they had some pretty good melodies as well - well I used to hum them
on the way to school anyway!

	Philip Glass has written literally scores of works...  The two albums you borrowed were both from  
films he wrote the music for.  The trilogy of which you speak is his portrait opera trilogy.  They include  
(in chronological order): Einstein on the Beach, Satyagraha and Akhnaten.  My favorite Glass disc is from  
another movie entitled Mishima..Other titles include: 1000 Airplanes on the Roof, Glassworks, Dancepieces,  
Songs from Liquid Days and several others.. 

	Other minimalist composers include Steve Reich, Terry Riley and John Adams...

>I don't know too much Iggy stuff, but Dog Food is a
>personal favorite.  Any listening suggestions for other great
>music by him?

I would suggest *everything* because I think he's sensational, but
I'll give you the rundown of my personal favorites.

RAW POWER:  Just that, raw.  It's rough and chilling at times;
extremely good screaming on "Death Trip."  You can really see
the Doors' influence on this record moreso than any other, I
think.

KILL CITY: (with James Williamson).  This is my all-time favorite
Iggy.  (The production quality is questionable, however.)  It's
bluesy, sultry, and sexy.  Could be Iggy's "best voice."  It's a
shame the production isn't good.  (RAW POWER production is
questionable also.)  Buying this record can be an expensive deal.
I've seen it going anywhere from $35-$60.  Fortunately I found a
mint copy here for $6.  Pittsburgh isn't big on Iggy!

INSTINCT:  After his over-produced (by Bowie) records in 1976-77
 (LUST FOR LIFE and THE IDIOT) and BLAH BLAH BLAH in the mid-80s,
INSTINCT was a welcome relief.  Lyrically it's very strong (as is
BLAH...) and musically it reverts back to the Stooges sound.  Compared
to this, those other three make him sound like a lounge singer, though.
LUST FOR LIFE is considered to be his best work, and it does have
great songs on it.  THE IDIOT has good songs but it's just too
Bowie-fied for me.

BRICK BY BRICK:  Some diehards hate this record.  While being a tad on
the commercial side, I accept it as Iggy's personal, reflective
statement of his life.  Very good lyrics, but this isn't a record
for those who just want to hear Iggy yelling and screaming and having
a good time, although he does a good bit of that too.  These songs
came across very well in concert and I really thought that they
wouldn't.  The G'n'R boys did some good guitar work on this.

Least favorites:  ZOMBIE BIRDHOUSE sucks big time.  SOLDIER, PARTY, and
NEW VALUES all contain some good tunes but I could live without them.
It's no wonder he went into reclusion after these records!

Some good live bootlegs:  LIVE AT THE RITZ (1988) -- a "fantastic*
rendition of "Tuff Baby" on this; SUCK ON THIS (1977) contains three
sides from when Bowie toured with him and one side from another show.
Another good bootleg is FOOLISH DREAMER which is acoustic demo's of
songs for BRICK BY BRICK, some of which didn't make it on to the record.
The title song is beautiful, and you simply must hear BUTT TOWN done
acoustically.

	Yeah, 50 people really makes you a majority. Ever think that maybe because you don't like Phil Collins, that all your friends would more or less share your musical tastes? Oh, and for "Fame and Fortune," Phil raised millions of dollars for the homeless, a good portion f which came directly from sales of his album and from the tour. What have you done?

	You "tried" to like it? Why? If you don't like Genesis's new stuff why did you bother? Or did you just buy it so you could say that the album rots, and it's all Phil's fault. As for the album being a Phil solo album, listen to Living Forever or Fading Lights, the instrumentals in each are NOT solo Phil.

A small but vocal contingent also insists that the piece is dedicated
to John's sister, Zoe "Zoo" Cage, the legendary Amazon (or so she
claimed - see her "The Human Being as River" monograph for more 
details) who dunked for Webern State back in the early sixties,
and who Dick Vitale once referred to as "the greatest big woman
in the game."  Coincidentally (or maybe not, hmm?), Zoe was 
6' 9" and had a 33" vertical leap.

Well, I think it's great.  Who would have ever thought that Paul
Simon's "The Sounds of Silence" and the old Christmas carol
"Do You Hear What I Hear?" could have been combined in one
composition?

  Sorry, Hans, you get the play-at-home version. Genesis is only making money,
while Yes has been making excellent music consistently since they originated.
If you knew anything about Yes, you'd know they're not in it for the money.

I disagree with almost all of the groups you listed, but this is ridiculous.
All of the other groups you listed at leasted have some basis for making your
list. If you think all Hendrix did was invent feedback, you've never really
listened to Hendrix. Some of his greatest songs such as the Wind Cries Mary,
Crosstown Traffic, et.c don't even use feedback. In fact a majority of his
recorded material doesn't. All that aside, though, this is a list for the most
overrated...how can you overrate someone who is the greatest of all time?
If you could name even one person who plays or played guitar that could even
stand Hendrix's shadow, I would retract this.
