Re: ? RE: ECM guitarists?

Thanks for all the replies on this thread - I've been checking out a lot 
of stuff this week as I've always loved ECM but wasn't so aware of a 
couple of the names.

The first Rypdal I tried out was Odyssey, which was well-recommended 
online as one of his best. I HATED it - masturbatory was the kindest 
word I could think of. But then I tried the trio w/Miroslav Vitous and 
DeJohnette, and have been listening to it several times a day for the 
last three days, I absolutely love it. Beautiful and moving music.
