Awesome, thanks alot! (I hope I can play these files).

You'll need real player to hear these tracks, but I'm sure you could find a way to convert them to mp3's, or any other file that you might want later...

BTW, Thanks porkmarras.

cheers pork.

holy shit, i downloaded company one and it is one of the greatest things i have ever heard! i am one who knows a little bit of free improve to know good from bad, it this is fucking brilliant. thatnks so much!!!

Hey, Jerusalem. What's up?

im good. you?

Indeed.I have downloaded only the first one so far and it's fucking amazing stuff.Music so viscerally in your face that it feels like they are playing in the same room you're in.

i know what you mean, this is blowing my mind more than any album has in a very long time...
were these ever released officially?

my god, the cello and bass mixed with evan parker howling is sending shivers all over me...

From what you can make out by reading the blog, it seems like they had been at one point but i doubt they have been re-issued.I'm re-listening to it now and,oh my god!,this is just fantastic!It sounds like hell on earth!

whoops, i see that they were released on incus in 77. i shall have to find them one day (sorry for the triple post)
i guess it wasnt a triple post. . .
i know what im listyening to for the next few weeks...

Don't worry.Well , i won't have any access to my records until Sunday but i know what will keep me going.

ahh does anybody know how to convert a real player file into mp3?
was really looking forward to hearing these pieces...

if you are using mac you can download a prog called wiretap, which converts anything that goes through your sound card in a wav then you can convert it with whatever.
