I mentioned this upthread. one of my favorite jazz tracks ever, and yet nothing else on the album (or anything else I've heard from Harris) sounds remotely like it

that recording is amazing...so minimal, and the effects are so central to the playing (not at all tacked on)

I know right? it's such a great marriage of riffs and effects, really hypnotic, beautifully constructed

getting blazed with this record and a pair of headphones = FYM ASMD, no better way to spend a Friday night.

Oh by "this record" I meant Live At Newport.. Like I said, blazed.

yeah, Live at Newport. So hard to track down for some reason. Was it ever reissued?

Man, "I Need Some Money" is such a great album. I mean not like grab you by the shirt and shake you great, just a relaxed, funky gem.
"i don't want nobody" might have to be my official jam of the year.

I mean, goddamn what a song. Almost sounds like something Robert Wyatt could've been involved with.

Silver Cycles is worth having just for the title track

Yeah that and Swiss Movement are both cool (their version of "Compared to What" is fucking great). As is Silver Cycles! Title track is almost Terry Riley-esque delay experiment...
BTW glad you liked that track, mark!
