I bought Giant Pin and Instrumentals at the same time (inspired to purchase after a track off the latter had been played on BBC Radio Three) and I'm still undecided.
 
I have a (Henry Kaiser)  recording of the Cline brothers and Wayne Peet's impromptu tribute to Tony Willliams Lifetime, made about 10/12 years ago, which I feel ought to be officially released for its sheer musical energy. And then Nils Cline provides an intriguing alternative to Allan Holdsworth on Alan Pasqua's 2007 release The Anti-social Club.
The best eclectic music on the Web,8-11pm BST/GMT THURS.

As with most of my music, I've only been able to hear bits and pieces on the internet Unhappy

I don't quite remember the Singers' music I've heard, but if you can track down a Nels Cline impro called "Smell", go for it. It's spooooky!

The others are as good if not better albums. Worth tracking down.

Other Cline projects (including where he is a guest) are also recommended.

The only NCS album I'm familiar with is Instrumentals, which is quite good.  I'll have to dig around for the other two, especially if Scott Amendola is drumming on them...

In the last year, I've been getting into the Nels Cline projects and this particular one, The Nels Cline Singers (with Devin Hoff and Scott Amendola) has captivated me in particular.
 
Still "learning" Draw Breath, but so far it is an interesting and good album.
Other than that, Giant Pin is my favourite so far. but each one has its own uniqueness.
 
What do you think of this particular project?
