I recently picked up the reissue of Neil Ardley's "Kaleidoscope Of Rainbows" on double vinyl and am enjoying it greatly. Are there any other pieces in a similar vein that Vultures can recommend?

? that's not a double LP is it?

Anyway - his 'Harmony of Spheres' is in the same vein as are the two Barbara Thompson LPs I know and also most of the Nucleus back catalogue

*edit* ahhh - reissue - soz.

A double reissued last year on 180g, very nice, but fairly expensive.
I'll attemt to check some of the other stuff you mention. Nucleus are a distant memory from way back, along with Colloseum and such like that I wasn't particularly into when I was a teen, typical!

Cheers!

If I remember rightly 'Harmony of the Spheres' suffers from MarkKingitiis - intrusive slap bass.

Maybe you should check out Mike Westbrook 'Citadel/Room 315' - not expensive either.

I remember, a few years back, 'Kaleidoscope of Rainbows' being in a local chazzer for months at the princely sum of £1 and I kept leaving it cos the release date just seemed too recent for the music therein to be much cop.

What a helmet.
