Nova

I got the dvd of this on dime like 4 months ago. Its goooood!

Woot!

Wow, that's really good news. I have those first 2 VI's on vinyl, with no way of playing them [img]wink.gif[/img] .
I wonder if they are also now sold on SS's site AW?
I hope he [& the VI boys ;o]] got [or get] some 'residual / trickle-down' off them. Yeah, wishful thinking for a trooper muso... ;oP

I can't believe I'd never heard of that Nova release. Sounds very interesting.

Blade Intro (from Orion)

[got_a_matchgrip]

DOOD

Blade has always been an awesome "fuso-neo-jazz/swing" tune [IMHO anyway]...Dean Brown is shredding on gtr...

...& SS does a nice dr solo on Future Primitive AW[best part of the tune IMO] [img]redface.gif[/img] [img]wink.gif[/img]

Looks like SS may be getting some reidual/kickback aft all...cool. ;-)

I loved this album. Played the livin' snot outta it AWA VI-VI [VI 1] when they came out [VINYL!]. [img]cool.gif[/img] With much vigor. Many pops n small scratches [which'd make a rapper-DJ proud..well, perhaps. Except for the music part]. /;-O

I think I've come to the conclusion that Vital Information was a better band without Tom Coster and Gambale. The songs and overall approach on the first two records is far superior to anything subsequent in my opinion.

If you don't have these records, get them immediately!

The "legends" dvd was available on dime a couple of months ago.Or maybe it was still eazytree...
Anyway,got both the cd and dvd and they sound great!
Wonder how they managed to make it available though [img]rolleyes.gif[/img]

But i'm not gonna complain here. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
