The dvd is fantastic for a musician to watch. Possibly a bit repetetive for anyone else as you only see one musician workign at a time. No ensemble playing. CV seems like a nice old cove. I expected him to be a bit less grounded and a bit more mad professor.

I heard Journey In Satchidananda by Alice Coltrane off an Underworld comp that was pretty groovy - would Translinear Light be in a similar vein?

Lost Idol- Brave the Elements. Excellent new album of what would probably once have been called trip-hop, by the bloke who works in my local record shop. Moody psychedelia with beats and samples.
Stanley Brinks and the Wave Pictures- S/T. Excellent new album by the bloke from Herman Dune. Folk pop, I guess.
Charlie Alex March- Home/Hidden. Pleasant enough electronica tinged soft psych. People from Stereolab and the High Llamas appear.
Martin Rev- Stigmata. Straightforward high church classical compositions all played singlehandedly (probably literally) by Mr Rev on the synth. I like it.
An Taobh Tuathail Vol 3. Still enjoying this remarkably consistent comp, especially on winter evenings.
Memory Tapes- Seek Magic. This loses its way at points and tends to drift into trendy clothes shop background music, but when it's good it's very good.
Roger McGuinn- S/T. Roger's first solo album has some real gems on it, especially when Crosby or the other Byrds lend a hand, but just as I'm thinking this should be reappraised as a classic alongside Crosby's 'If I Could Only Remember My Name' and Gene Clark's 'No Other,' it all falls apart on side two. Obligatory early 70s white reggae pastiche, 'M'Linda' is the undoubted low point.
Also:
Genesis- Nursery Cryme.
Van Morrison- Veedon Fleece.
Public Image Limited- Second Edition.
Pulp- Different Class.

It's less modal/groovy/trance oriented and much less 60s sounding than "Journey" and even more led by the sax as a main instrument and there is much more piano and Wurlitzer organ than harp.
So it sounds more like a traditional post Coltrane modern jazz record (there's even a ballad with strings) than her earlier records as a leader.
I guess it would have been more accurate if it were credited to Alice and her sons as a family. Not that I am complaining at all.
It's pretty great for all that and there are a couple of tracks that are still firmly in the 60s AC style. The piano playing is peerless in terms of the jazz records being made today that I get to hear.
It's not impossible to imagine that this is the sort of record Coltrane himself would have been making were he alive. Safe to think that he probably wouldn't have been making Dub Step records, jamming with Govt Mule or (shudder) making crossover albums ....
