For you ECM fans, Ricardo Villalobos was granted access to their vaults and did an amazing remix album. Sort of like Eno hits Spiritual/Euro jazz ambience. I recommend it....
  9:12am

ECM anytime please. Listening in the UK. Hot enough for this kind of music!

I have E. Weber's "Yellow Fields" album from '75 -wonderful. // Karlward: Not sure; some jazzbos only like jazz from 1917 to about 1960 then dislike all the stuff from free jazz to more spiritual stuff. Then they pick up again with Marsalis round '85. Some just don't like the association with '60s/'70s longhairs or what they call new agey feel. May be more to it, don't know...

Yeah, I think some purists think the ECM sound, at least post-73, is cheese-tastic, but I love it. Bring on the gated reverb, I say!!

Always a place in my heart for Return To Forever, Weather Report, John McLaughlin and the Mahavishnu Orchestra.

TDK60:

Cheese is in the taste-buds of the cheese taster. Many ECM albums have actually helped me stretch out mentally -free therapy! well, for the price of an LP. (I love older jazz too -Count Basie.) But I did come of age in the '60s-'70s, so..

Pat Metheny's Zero Tolerance for Silence was quite amazing, IMO.

Pat Metheny sometimes gets my lactose intolerance in a knot, but he's done some top stuff as well, not just realizing Steve Reich's "Electric Counterpoint".

A fave fusion-y album is John Abercrombie's "Timeless" - ECM.
Avatar 10:03am
northguineahills:

@TDK60: I also have the Ebenhard Weber "Yellow Fields" Album on vinyl, not bad. Until I was mayb 28, I only liked jazz from 1962 onwards, it took me awhile to appreciate earlier more "trad jazz".
  10:05am
Jonathan:

I think like most folks I'm very selective with the Metheny. Abercrombie's "Timeless" is an incredible record, definitely like top 5 "fusion" records for me.

Hola NGH: Yes, that E.W. album, to me, is similar to stuff later Soft Machine was doing then.

Chris, if you liked that, that kind of mixing is what I do when I typically host a nighttime show. Much more drone/stasis/noise/abstract stuff all rolling together.
