New Vinyl Record - The Awakening - Mirage

The only 'group' on the Black Jazz roster, today should be heralded as one of the great bands in early '70s jazz. That they're not is the result of the Black Jazz label's distribution woes; witness the fact that original copies of both of their records for the imprint command prices in the hundreds of dollars if you can find them at all. Mirage is their second (1973) album, the last one they made together; it boasts the same Chicago-based, AACM-centric line-up as the first, with the notable addition of bassist Rufus Reid on a couple of tracks. Spiritual jazz, free jazz, soul jazz, fusion jazz, you name it'The Awakening take all those threads common to early '70s African-American music and, like any great ensemble, weave them into a beautiful sonic garment that's greater than the sum of it's parts. The Mirage is a bit less political/pan-African than Hear, Sense and Feel, it's predecessor, which definitely owed some of it's feel to the band's Art Ensemble of Chicago/AACM roots; this record is a little more abstract, a little more varied in it's moods and textural coloring, yet no less powerful and transporting. Our Real Gone release represents the first time Mirage has been reissued on LP; the CD and LP come newly remastered (by Mike Milchner at Sonic Vision) and with new liner notes by Pat Thomas. A record to discover, savor, and treasure. REAL GONE MUSIC

    Just fine if you have simple needs...
    Color: Black/Digital/Black/Green
    Exactly what I needed: a cheap, durable wrist watch. The only thing it was lacking were instructions, but about 5 minutes of messing with the buttons got it set up

    Surprising good!
    Color: Brown/Blue/Stainless Steel
    I purchased this watch on whim, I was pleasantly surprised at how good it looks. I just love the design of the face. THe quality is good. I did change the strap for a premium leather. It comfortable to wear. Worth the money in my opinion.

    Really nice and unique watch
    Color: Black/Black/Black
    This watch really caught my eye on Amazon. Every once in awhile you order an item and it looks better in person than it does in a picture. This is one of those items. It looks really great in person! I collect mostly unique watches that look different than a normal watch. What is really unique about this watch is that it has 2 separate second hands. One that is always ticking for the time and another one that starts going with the Chronograph. Not sure I've ever seen that on another watch. Sure I've seen subdials that do this, but this is 2 full size second hands. And they look different also so they don't get confused. I've never seen this one in a store which is a shame because I think Timex has some great watches right now and I don't think a lot of people know about them.

    nice but.
    So, this really is a nice watch and if you can get it on sale it's a bargain. The bracelet is junk, with hollow end links. I would recommend replacing that with some type of fabric or rubber type strap. The reason I took one star off is because the chrono function isn't the best style. If you don't plan to use it much or only plan to use it for 10 minutes or less that's fine. More than that and the minutes counter flies back to zero and starts counting again which can be confusing and the next register is the combo 24hr and chrono minutes/hours counter which isn't easy to use for timing say 30 minutes or so. The standard type chrono counters are way better by design and Timex sells another one with standard counters with neat multicolored registers for less money. Otherwise it's a solid watch comfortable to wear not too big or thick or heavy. Of course it has mineral glass for the xtl so you need to be careful or it will scratch pretty easily but for the price.....
