Spyrogyra - Spyrogyra - 1978

 

Jeremy Wall's "Mallet Ballet" is a real gem. I was very impressed with the drumming on this album, and was convinced Peter Erskine held the sticks until I recently looked up the group on wiki.

another splurge (fuck):

 

my madlib record was screenprinted in gold ink, but when i tried to take the record sleeve out of its plastic case, some of the paint started peeling away, and eventually the top layer of the paper sleeve. FFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

[goffer]

are those madlib medicine show anygood ?

I dig them a lot, but the majority says likewise. I enjoy albums with a lot of filler, especially when this filler is used properly; for example, setting the mood for the following track. Don't expect track after tracking of neck-snapping hits... expect a somewhat cultural milieu of organic thought that a blunt'd allegorist would tell.

[Guest KY]

That's a good description of these Madlib Medicine Show releases—the Brazil mix cd was surprisingly awesome btw.

 

And I did order volume five, still looking around for a cheap copy of volume one. In the meantime, I'm trying to negotiate a replacement vol.3 sleeve through undergroundhiphop.com—fingers crossed.

[goffer]

I order mine through Stones Throw... you'll uselessly get them a few days earlier plus they are packaged well.

 

Though UGHH usually package their shit nicely as well and it's always nice to use the $5 off $50 promo... I'm sure they'll hook you up, last I looked they still had some Vol 3 in stock.

 

I hope they come out with a nice box to put the whole collection in.

[Guest KY]

Yeah, i'm copping the remaining record releases from ST—went to UGHH for vol. 3 out of necessity. pumped for vintage madlib though!

 

tentative next vinyl purchases:

 

charanjit singh - ten ragas to a disco beat

black joker - watch out!

v/a - german elektronische musik volume 2

[goffer]

Just bought a little hand steamer to test cleaning my records with... going to add it to my cleaning regiment.

[goffer]

For those of you interested, since I cannot speak to my gf, friends, or family regarding this as they think I have lost my mind... just did some testing with the steamer and can say it helps. It brought back to life a record I deemed un-listenable. I made some mp3's for ya'll

 

Les McCann and Eddie Harris - Swiss Movement 1969

 

I did clean with my usual routine before steaming, documented here, minus the declicking and all that: LINK

 

Pre-Steam:

After Steam:

Some Earth Wind & Fire for ya'll... I didn't do a pre-steam file but it still turned out great.

[oscillik]

that's a pretty noticeable difference there. i wonder if my Confield and could benefit from this...

[goffer]

From the sample on your post I remember it sounded like a pressing issue and in most cases it is with newer records, but you never know... its previous owner could be just as crazy as I am. Have you tried wet cleaning it yet?

 

If you do decide to steam it be careful... it's going to warp if you steam but don't freak out as it will return to its original form when it cools. As long as you don't put an unusual stress on it, it will looks just as it did before steaming. I have even improved already warped records with steam... though not to their original state, but a bit flatter.

 

My new regiment:

 

Apply record cleaning solution and spread into grooves

Steam for 8-10 seconds while scrubbing the records

Vacuum dry or use a microfiber cloth

Steam again for 8-10 seconds to use as a rinse

Dry again and let it sit out for 5-10 minutes

[Guest disparaissant]
