Woops, I meant to have this up sooner.
Short version is, a big thank you to TFP. I love all of my new additions and it gives me some excellent options to expand towards for my next cd binge.
Aberkok - As you were eager to hear my impression of Freak In, I'll put that one first. Three words : I love it. Over recent years I've been listen to instrumental jazz less and moving more towards blues and rock. I think if this album is representative of Dave Douglas' work, I'll be heading back the other way again. I'm trying to find a point of comparison; he's not Wynton by any means, but that's part of his charm, since a lot of modern trumpet players (IMO) seem to try tlo emulate either Wynton, Dizzy or Miles and none of them quite can. Douglas has his own style of play and I enjoy it muchly.
Transatlanticism - Very depressing, really, but Death Cab tends to be that. I've liked them since I first heard of them and Transatlanticism, while not outstanding, is a very solid album.
Greg Garing - Umm.. very unique sound. I very much enjoy it, I just don't know what to make of it, exactly. I like the hint of travelling blues that's in there and he crosses genres quite effectively.
Devin Townsend I haven't had a chance to listen to yet, so that review comes later.
