You know, this really is an awesome album... I'm just starting to realize it... the solos are excellent, especially in So What... it's all very nice and laid back...

heh yeah, I guess I should've said that the music from Simcity 3000 sounds like A Kind of BLue, and not the other way around...

speaking of Kind of Blue, I own that, A Love Supreme, and Time Out, anyone have any good suggestions for other jazz albums to get?

yeah I'm thinking about getting that one actually... I had a lend of it off a friend one time, but yeah, it was pretty extreme for me at the time... but now that I've gotten into some other jazz, I figure I might as well give it another listen...

Kind of Blue is great. It's like the essential jazz album. "Here's your swiss army knife, and here's your Kind of Blue."

you might also like Weather Report's first two albums, 'Weather Report' and 'I Sing the Body Electric'.
i'd say they are closer to the 'Bitches Brew' style tho, especially the first one.

for something with a similar vibe to Kind of Blue, you might want to check out some of the other (1st) classic quintet albums: Round Midnight, Cookin', Steamin', Workin', or "Relaxin'... i wouldn't say that any of them is quite as good... but there definitely worth while... (as is just about anything miles did for most of his career)

Wow. Even though it's an old post, I can't believe Tits left off "A Love Supreme".
Pure emotion in that record.

I don't much like A Love Supreme... the solos are too fast for me, that I can't get any feeling from it... just sounds like a load of bollocks to use a British term!
