These people are ruining the rating system. If you highlight “tubetriode 10y” in the Ratings above. He’s rated over 20,000+ recordings with only a 2.07 rating but yet he’s only bought 10 items. Why would you listen to 20,000 + recordings if your... See full review

I don’t think there is an 8 page booklet (see Discogs description under “Notes”) . I don’t have one and it’s not in the photos above. Plus there’s already a lot of writing on the back sleeve. But maybe someone will write in to correct that.

He has struck again….”Apostanaklis” (sic) ruined the grading process, yet again as he gave this recording 1 out of 5 stars. Go to "statistics" above, then "ratings" then press "Apostanaklis" (sic) and you'll see his ratings. He has rated over 1,963... See full review

This is the real deal- great recording, strange music (i.e. Synthesizer adds quite a twist not representative of Hampel’s previous recordings). I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. No liner notes etc, though (bummer)- just the record and sleeve... See full review

Great recording! Sound quality- A+ (I like hearing crowd noises). Freddy Hubbard blows as if the world is ending… they even break off into a free jazz romp with obscure offshoots (sic). The best pure trumpeter along with Enrico Rava ever….Kenny... See full review

Once again "Apostinakals" (sic) has gave a recording a 1 star. He has graded almost 2,000 recordings with a cumulative score of 1.2 so here's a guy that continues to listen to music he can't stand... But most importantly he's screwing up the grading system. See full review

Ignore the low rating- “Apostonoklas” has rated over 1960 items since May of 2022 with a 1.2 median rating so he obviously has issues and is screwing up “the rating system”. As who would keep listening to 1900 recordings if you hate everything? Press... See full review

The music puts you in a trance, profound bass and great percussion- not a mellow album. Five stars for contemporary (>2010 year) music anyways. If it was the 1970s it would just be a very good album..

Very similar to Howard Riley’s releases “End Game” and “Over Ground”. Same mood- swirling piano work, profound bass (I.e. Barry Guy), splashing cymbal percussion. Well balanced. Free Jazz at its highest order.
