Re: inspiring improvsations

[mark francombe <mark@markfrancombe.com>]

Personally I would listen to almost anything done by Can.
They are not anally improvisers, but they had this tchnique of recording long improvisations, and then one of them would laboriously edit them down on tape to album friendly lengths. You can hear the edits in places, and accept them as part of the track. Starter Albums are Monster Movie 1968Delay, and the very wonderful Tago Mago.

This is the band that got me into improvising...

Ok. Following on from the improvisation/composition debate. How about some recommendations for inspiring improvisatons?
I dislike jazz so there go quite a few options I guess but I would welcome any pointers.

2 stand out for me
1 The band Man's live rendition of "spunk Box" at the greasy Truckers Garden Party. Amazing, sattiva drenched, inspired jamming that really translates to the recording
2 Pseudobuddha, "7 days in fat city". I don't know how this was recorded but it sounds and feels so flowingly fresh and organic, (thanks to James Sidlo for getting me a copy btw).
