Re: One Guitarist, One Drummer was: Altered Tunings

Yes, I agree with Daryl. Coltrane's I S is, indeed, unsurpassable and is 
one 
of my all time favourite bits of recorded music. I first listened to I S 
Revisited expecting either a pale imitation or something with little 
noticeable connection to the original. It turned out to be neither. It's 
actually very exciting and when I listen to it I almost forget that it's a 
'cover' of Interstellar Space. Quite an achievement.
