Are you sure it was me that recommended a Hip-Hop CD to you before? I think you're on about A Grand Don't Come For Free, if it was, it wasn't me, I'd have recommended OPM instead.

lol'd at the Do It bit.

A shame.

No it was Computers and Blues. And it was you, though in a previous incarnation, can't recall which one: Benteke maybe?

Oh yeah that would have been me. I rate that one highly.

Benteke sounds right, I was listening to it a lot at the beginning of 2015 which would have been in my Benteke days.

It's an excellent album. Pity this couldn't be a two-for. Oh well. Better luck next time perhaps. Maybe a Prince album?

I didn't post it just to f*ck with you, would have changed it but I got bullied into it by Charles.

Maybe, which ones have you heard?

No I know that. That's ok; some people do but it's all the same. If I hate something I'll just say it.

The usual: Purple Rain, Round the World In A Day, Lovesexy, 1999, Batman OST, Sign O' The Times ... think that's it. Oh and his last one, whatever it was called, did it with some young wan?

It's a really fun industrial rock/metal album.

Title: Ask the Ages
Artiste: Sonny SHarrock
Genre: Jazz
Familiarity: Zero
Recommended by: Who else but Quagmire? I mean, Frownland!

Expectations: As ever, it's the J-word that sends shivers down my spine, and not in a good way. At least it's a relatively short album.

1. Promises kept: Oh great! Mad screeching horns. Just what I want to hear. This is terrible, and if it's all like this, well, where's me red pen?
2. Who does she hope to be?: Well this is nicer. Guitar is very smooth, horns not so wild, more relaxed.
3. Little rock: This is better too. It's so much better when he lets the guitar do the talking rather than the mad horns. This is more uptempo but still very catchy.
4. As we used to sing: This, however, is just annoying, a real example of the freeform/chaotic/do-whatever-the-****-you-like jazz I tend to hate. And I hate this.
5. Many mansions: Not bad; a little repetitive but memorable certainly. Even the horns don't bother me that much.
6. Once upon a time: This isn't too bad, quite smooth, like the high tone of the guitar. Ah, whaddya want from me? I'm not a guitarist.

End result: Hmm. Started off expecting to hate it, but it sort of grew on me. Not something I'd be listening to again certainly, and I would say in general I more tolerated it than enjoyed it, but still, given the bad start not a bad end result.

So, Love or Hate? I'll give it a Like.

I think it's one of the most expressive albums in existence and is a good answer to our conversation about jazz emulating emotion from the classical thread.

Oh, and one day, you will grow to love overblowing.
