Thread: Recommended Records Sampler -best compilation album ?

    ^That's a mofo. Just wait until you hear the main riff in "Goliath in the Sights" or reach the end (return) sequence of "Bought the Farm".

    Mofo!

    Cuneiform's 'Unsettled Scores' was a brilliant sampler -like Recommended's sampler they were all 'otherwise unreleased' but on this one each band covered a track by another band in the Cuneiform roster. Brilliant idea which worked well -and its still available!

    Yes. It's big fun and swell display of ideas'n' chops. Great to know that those artists are so (relatively) aware of each other too; they represent the best and definitely most progressive rock out there, with neither Billy Sherwood nor Geoff Downes anywhere in sight.

    For the most part, they really weren't aware of each other. I curated it (it was a giant pain in the ass to do) and made them aware of things that I thought would work well for them as covers and sometimes they liked my suggestion and sometimes they asked for something else to hear...and something else to hear....and something else to hear.

    Yes, the liner notes specifically state that. Alas perhaps they became more aware, then. Just a little.

    Maybe?

    If I was aware of this before I'd forgotten about it, added to wish list for next order.
