live 1974
Both awesomely masterpieces of fusion, both ECM releases - from 70s and 80s - two best decades of ECM.
I voted initialy for Cloud About Mercury.
BTW, always loved those ECM albums jackets! Edited by Svetonio - July 27 2011 at 07:46 |

David Torn. I heard this first as a pre-release promo and was immediately struck by the innovation, moving jazz fusion into new territory - which BLUE revisited quite some ime later. I was already a Torn fan from deep exposure to his tape loops and other experimental techniques for guitar I first heard on the Everyman Band album, Without Warning - which also shifted jazz fusion into new directions - and I mustn't forget his session work with Jan Garbarek.
Rypdal's Whenever, I've only become familar with in the last 3 years - when I have already got my favourites, Chaser, Hit SIngles, Vossabrygg. I still hear (and greatly revel in) that Hank to Hendrix thing f Rypdal. |

Nice poll involving a couple of classy albums.I had to go with Terje's album though. It's ironic that one of the songs on Torn's album called "The Delicate Code" has some guitar that reminds me of Terje's playing. These are two very interesting records.

Two really good albums I wouldn't be without. Stylistically not too similar though. I give the edge to Cloud for having a little more diversity in the compositions.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

It's nice to see a young Billy Bruford. Nod goes to David Torn.

That clip above from an earlier album is pretty cool.
Tony looks really weird with hair. Cloud was the album that really introduced me to Torn. |
