Prog-Jazz-Fusion: Yeah! Draugei's Finest Selection of Albums Fro

Varsågoda! These albums are in my opinion essential if you like jazz, progressive or any unconventional and groovy music. All albums are picked by Draugei, as a result of years of searching and collecting at Soulseek, Direct Connect etcetera. They are not selected for any other reason than being great albums, but they somehow show the progression from avant-garde jazz, merging with folk music and progressive rock, transforming into present day electronic jazz and progressive metal. No longer is there any valid excuse for not having these albums! I think you'd want this collection. The albums included are: ------------------------ Miles Davis - In a Silent Way Michal Urbaniak - Fusion Nucleus - Labyrinth, Elastic Rock Kebnekajse - Electric Mountain Jaga Jazzist - A livingroom hush Sun Ra - Secrets of the Sun Mahavishnu Orchestra - Inner Mounting Flame, Bird of Fire Dave Holland Quartet - Conference of the Birds John Coltrane - My Favourite Things King Crimson - In the Wake of Poseidon Jazz Mandolin Project - Jungle Tango Jan Johansson with Georg Riedel and Rune Gustafsson - Live in Tallinn Cynic - Focus And a few songs: National Health - Parcivalus Cherry Five - Country Graveyard ----------------------------- I would argue that Nucleus and Mahavisnhu Orchestra are the two central groups in this transformation. Check out Cynic as well, calling them progressive would be a severe understatement. You can find more of these artists at Soulseek, the Direct Connect hub [Fallen Angel] or perhaps (doubtfully) at your record store.

Thanks for everything else but cynic. WTF is it doing there.. did you misplace the album or do you use words jazz, progressive, or groovy in some unconventional way?
It was terrible. Monophonic and agressive. Everything else was a complete hit.

Anybody who loves Cynic, try Atheist's album "Elements"...it is even more aggressive but wit plenty of jazz elements.
Jazz Mandolin Project is great, cheers

Fusion @ 128 Kbps?? What a waste of bandwith. If I had known the bitrate was so low (128-192) I wouldn't have bothered. Duh.

1. Thanks for putting this together. Really glad I found it as I'm just discovering Jazz.
2. I also don't understand why Cynic is here.
3. Tags were ridiculously all over the place. I don't know if you had changed them and they didn't save or what.
4. Finally, @stratosfear, as they were collected off SoulSeek and Direct Connect, what did you expect really? Either way, it's great for trying our some new music before buying.
