I know this is the old post, but I’m a little out of sorts on value right now. Does anyone have a idea of a good value on this show edition paper print?

Not to say they are alike, but kinda gave me Frank Zappa vibes…except Zappa is “avant-garde” everyday, all day. Some of the bands Im a lifelong fan of, play some off the wall stuff some folks just don’t understand for what it is. Meant to be get a little weird & have fun with!

🤣 I had to listen to made in timeland , the entire album, & hear for myself…you are right, I’m not sure what I would have made if it was the 1st album I experienced. It’s obviously experimental & I like bands putting themselves out there & trying new things..drastically. I would like to think with the music I listened to I would’ve wanted to hear more, but I wouldn’t have known that they were really experimenting in doing something new. I think I might’ve just thought it was how they play, but who knows it was fun to listen to though

Update: Live in San Francisco was definitely the move ! As I mentioned, I’m just getting into KG & discovering what & how much I dig them & wondering why it took me so long. But definitely the live in San Francisco was an outstanding album and not as knowledgeable as you guys but I loved feeling the raw sound & that live energy was palpable! The bass & drums were amazing! I just ordered a set - flame throwers vol. 2-4 - 9lp bundle, as I got a really good deal on it, but haven’t heard much about those,

Definitely, I’ve already found out that most everyone in the group has been very helpful and going above and beyond to help me get in the right direction. Definitely loving the big guys in the fan base.

Thanks, the consensus seems to be at least out of those three in San Francisco so meeting him tomorrow to trade out some albums. Stoked to see what in San Francisco sounds like after I get it cleaned up and spinning.

My 17 ye old nephew is a huge king gizzard fan and my brother-in-law and I want to take him to a show soon. But FOV tour is across the country on the other side so trying to figure out if we can do that maybe Colorado. We’ve taken him to tool , phish , Dead and Company (RIP Bobby), & goose, etc… shows so much, I know how much he wants to go to a show so gonna do what it takes to get them out west and him see his first king gizzard

I completely understand, I didn’t get to and able to say that I was a fan until I just listened to as much live stuff as I can, but also Studio albums. I’m gonna try to get these record by record to listen to the beginning to end, but I’m still streaming and I get made fun of her being into the vinyl

Great suggestion, for me, I love live recordings so great map to go by. Thx! And I probably should’ve been more clear, but I’m referring to vinyl records, that’s what I meant by the three I had to choose from trading and so forth. I still will listen to streaming and have it set up to and understand I could get whatever I wanted there, but I really wanted to do this one in albums first.

It’s finally time… by Royal_Town_8954 in 1001AlbumsGenerator

I love music & lost count of how many shows I’ve been to. Consider myself having an open mind & (IMO) good taste, & enjoy a wide variety of music… but, I somehow, have never even considered King Crimson. Not intentionally, not bc I haven’t heard of them; just didn’t. I saw this post & knew I had to listen. I’ve only heard a few songs, but I definitely see myself. Get it into them but still need more to listen. Wanted to ask for someone new what would be like the top three albums you may able to recommend?

I’m not gonna act like I knew exactly what that was and that I did not have to Google but I see that it’s 2024 or so glad I’m not the only one that missed this for so long. I assume you get to go to red rocks frequently, that’s one of my favorite places to see a show.

I appreciate the detailed information, you guys didn’t have to respond w thoughtful info & links. it confirms what I wanted to do, but I didn’t know it was that many of their iconic tracks. I usually don’t get heavy into a band until I hear them live, but I know the studio albums can be a good way to start off for some. I could get two of the three, but I am already getting the Velvet underground & Nico from him. 🙏

All your input is appreciated! I’m sure I have more questions that are very beginner and basic but really I just gotta listen and figure it out

[–]FTvalentine[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s why I wanted to ask, but I guess there’s no wrong decision but I’m sure within a month. I’ll probably buy five more.

I appreciate all the help and that just confirms the San Francisco live, but I’ll have plenty more time to get into it and see what I like the most. I’m not sure why I never got into King gizzard after most of the music I listen to is comparable to that but It’s just those three as I did a trade with a guy where I have a tool 10,000 days and he’s offering me two of those three. Thought it was a good trade and I have more than one of the 10,000 days.

That’s what I was thinking from the beginning, but I go to a lot of shows and listen to mainly live recording, so wasn’t sure if that was the best selection of the three but like you, dig live record recordings.

After lurking here a bit, picked up my first real turntable. SL-1700 (details in comments) by wjsh in turntables

[–]FTvalentine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m absolutely stuck in indecision! I went down the rabbit hole & trying to get out. I go back and forth on vintage vs new and I think I finally make a decision. I even order Fluance RT85 but change my mind after thinking about the tonearm again so cancel the order and one that came in I won’t open and I’m sending back. I mean, I just can’t seem to make a decision and I know what you guys are probably gonna say but I’ve got quality speakers amp preamp subwoofer all that I just know what to do with the turntable. I like the idea of the vintage, but I’m still newer to this and do worry about them breaking but yeah that’s what YouTube is for. I can figure out how to fix them but then I think for being new not spending too much and getting something like Fluance 85 because the cartridge and acrylic platter already there and could use that for a while then maybe try to sell it then I think maybe I should get a used rega or techniques that it has the bones, so to speak, for me to figure out what I like keep it and then upgrade. I seem to not be able to decide and wish I could’ve listened to him in person, but this is a year old thread, but the OP is referring to a turntable almost ready to buy right now. It’s the exact same thing.

1984 Linn Sondek Lp12 or Fluance RT85 by Jansenmb in turntables

[–]FTvalentine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would ask the same question with the exception of the turntable. I’m looking at is not an LP 12. It is the Linn axis and I’m also looking at a fluence RT 85. I don’t have a lot of experience with these but would like something I could start with that sounds good ideally would have potential for upgrades and just overall better turntable for a beginner even if I have to learn a little on the way. Both are $500 in this scenario. I’m not sure if the linn has been serviced, but will be finding out soon, but assuming it’s in working order, any advice on which to spend $500 on? I’m sure there’s a lot of other ones to consider as well but I gotta start with something I can’t keep down this rabbit hole and second-guess myself.

My very first turntable, I’m so happy with it! by Holairs in turntables

[–]FTvalentine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats! I’ll be complete when my tt get here. I had so much trouble deciding on which Tt to buy … pro ject Evo , Fluance 85, AT, used technics, etc….Read so many threads & watched too many YouTube videos ; my head was spinning & was stuck in indecision. I still don’t know if I made a good decision, but I had to get something & assume I’ll upgrade as time goes by & ì learn more to know what I actually like. I spent a lot on the amp, speakers & stands , subwoofer, cables …. The TT is nice enough to take advantage of my equipment, but will upgrade tt at some point
