For what it's worth I appreciate Cuneiform too.
I actually largely prefer the Walt Disney Records label, but Cuneiform certainly makes the top 50 or so.

Even though I love both Thinking Plague and The Muffins, there is a great deal of Cuneiform music that I can't wrap my ears around.
That does not stop me, however, from thinking the world of Steve F. and from wishing Cuneiform a happy & prosperous (yeah, I know) 2014!

^ Very cool! Glad to see some more Cuneiform get mentioned in their Dailies.

Thank you, but look carefully - not JUST Thumbscrew. Also Stirrup+6
"This is an album that tears things apart at the seams, and the newly opened rifts become portals for lovely harmonic expression. The way chaos and serenity feed into one another and behave as opposing points-of-departure create lovely, addictive moments of tension and release. This performance at Chicago’s Elastic Arts by the Stirrup trio of drummer Charles Rumback, bassist Nick Macri, and cellist Fred Lonberg-Holm (who serves as conductor for this session), plus the reeds, strings, and electronics of Jen Clare Paulson, Zoots Houston, Keefe Jackson, Russ Johnson, Peter Maunu, and Mars Williams is one of the very best things I’ve heard all year."

Happy to see this thread, from my previous life, as opposed to my current "nyah, nyah, you can't kill ME" existence resurrected. Thanks for the nice thoughts, old and new.

This looks (and sounds) quite interesting! Pretty cool that this album and the Love Supreme Verve Acoustic Sounds Series LP are being released around the same time.

I really like the version of Acknowledgment that's streaming. Will have to get this. Should sit nicely on the shelf next to the superb Nels Cline / Gregg Bendian Interstellar Space Revisited.
EDIT: I dig Wayne Peet's playing. I've got an old album of his somewhere called Fully Engulfed that I remember being really good, but I can't find it

Steve, is it too premature to ask if will you be releasing a new Ed Palermo album this fall?? Sorry, didn't really want to start a new thread.
^ ^ ^ ^
Ed is self-releasing these days; his decision.
He has a new one in October - I don't think it's been announced, quite yet so I won't either, but it's something pretty different from most of his other albums and it's very good!

Just got the new Soft Machine release in the mail. Very nice looking - I think it's the first Cuneiform "digipak" type packaging, aside from the big Art Zoyd box. Very nice design, as usual. Looking forward to listening and watching!
