^^wow!!! played constantly in college...got a buzz just thinking about it!!!!
How do you like their latest? My copy is arriving later this week.
"The album casts aside almost all of the experiments the band tried on the last couple albums and forgoes outside contributors, orchestration, and production tricks. Apart from the horns on “Digging for Something” and a viola on “Fractures in Plaster,” the record is just the four members of Superchunk bashing out trademark high-quality indie rock bolstered by loud drums, a thrilling twin-guitar attack, and Mac’s always impassioned vocals....There are songs here that stand with the best the band has done (“Learned to Surf,” “Crossed Wires,” “Winter Games”), songs that will break your heart with their minute details on human frailty (“Fractures in Plaster”), songs that you’ll want to sing along to at top volume (“My Gap Feels Weird”), and songs that sound exactly how you want Superchunk to sound (“Slow Drip,” “Digging for Something”). They may not be the hippest band around in 2010 but they sound as fresh and important as they did in 1990, 1995, or 2001, and Majesty Shredding is the kind of album that’ll make you glad to be a fan of indie rock."
The Beatles - The BeatlesImage is of my original CD bought on the day of release in '87, but I'm listening to the 2009 remaster. My favourite album of all time. Beautiful...Cornelis

The Profound Sound Trio, first heard in the Vision Festival of 2008, is made up of co-leaders Andrew Cyrille (Drums), Paul Dunmall (Tenor Saxophone/Bagpipes)and Henry Grimes (Acoustic Bass/Violin). Pioneering improvisers Henry Grimes and Andrew Cyrille have performed together worldwide and are inspirations to musicians everywhere, as they continue to carry the torch for innovation and free expression. In 2006, Henry Grimes first collaborated with British mulri-reedist Paul Dunmall, a kindred spirit. Thus the idea for the Profound Sound Trio came about: Three equal partners in total improvisation, informed by history and mystery, truly a meeting of hearts, minds and souls. ..http://www.allaboutjazz.com/php/news.php?id=39972
