I think they’re all varying degrees of excellent but in the spirit of the OP it’s underrated. It’s also one of the first I got to know, and he plays really well on it.

Liking the Coltrane.

Connoisseur – Henry the Human Fly.

I agree it’s brilliant but it was also very popular so it’s not the second category however Eliminator is the global smash. So TH is neither really, by my logic. .

Early Ornette Coleman.

If my hair needs raising I usually start with “The Shape of Jazz to Come”. Still sounds out there.

Rookie error…

I read somewhere they don’t have all in the ports – thunderbolt etc. I haven’t checked though TBH.

I read just thinking that Vulpes.

I was just thinking that for Fairport.

Yes, perfect. That bit where they walk through 4 front doors into one huge groovy pad. With a sunken sofa. Toooo cool.

Local jazzer Dave Keech has a rather groovesome EP out this week. None newer. Maybe not hair raising tho.

I don’t disagree@dai, AHDN is my favourite Battles album and technically the first album I owned – my mum took me to see the film on its first run and bought me the album after. I was 6.

I am reliably informed by Beatles fans that Hard Day’s Night is not an album, it is a soundtrack. Just sayin’.

I really like the MTV version of Atlantic City. Yes I know it’s not the ESB but it’s a great band anyway.

Exactly, that’s my problem. Also other things are starting to stop working, such as Spotify. Trouble is, the spec of that Mac Mini was so good it’ll be a shame and a real pain to move from it.

I have a 2013 Mini which I need to update but it’ll be a messy upgrade as I’m going to move to a Windows machine so I can’t quite face don’t it for now.

Have you been updating the operating system etc? Apple has previous for deliberately slowing off kit down with software updates.

Yes I did mine. Takes 15 mins tops
