Re: John Abercrombie



Some of his early stuff (which contains my favorite album Arcade) was only ON vinyl until relatively recently. I finally managed to obtain a CD copy of the album a few months back after repeatedly copying the LP to cassette tape and then more recently to CD.
 
Here's an interesting link of what's available for John Abercrombie.

Just put the lp on
forgot that i had that one
i'ts probably mutlitracked and not looped as you mentioned
but there's a lot of repetitive stuff going on there
great album , cheers for bringing it to my attention
i haven't listened to it for years
but i had the fortune to get hold of my old vinylplayer
and slowly rediscovering the lps
there's a lot of good recordings with de johnette and abercrombie
apart from the gateway albums there's the directions and new directions
