Oink.CD FIasco


We at Last Train to Cool express our sadness due to the recent removal of the torrent searcher, Oink. We fully respect that archive due to its vast amount of OOP and foreign records that are otherwise near impossible to find. It is also with regrets that we say goodbye to our fellow blog ROAWR! which has also decided to pull the plugs as not to be involved with the recent file sharing fiasco. Last Train to Cool will remain up for an unforeseeable future as we are devoted to providing users with a way to expand their intellect through a guise of various musical resources. As stated if any artist has an issue with their work being up on this website, I will gladly remove if I am only informed. I am not interested in stealing profits from artists and urge that everyone help support the music they love, but I will also not remove my website because a few bureaucrats can't deal with the explosion of freely available art.

On a lighter note if anyone has anything they wish to be uploaded (or re-upped) feel free to post it as a comment on this post.

Art is dead, let's liberate our everyday life.

Sam Rivers - Contours

Sam Rivers - Contours

Sam Rivers. Herbie Hancock. Freddie Hubbard. Ron Carter. Joe Chambers. If you know anything about '60s jazz you know that is one hell of a line-up. This record is a often overlooked jazz classic of the '60s and if you aren't familiar with the avant garde bop scene, a great place to start exploring.

Shugo Tokumaru - Exit

Shugo Tokumaru - Exit

""Exit" is Shugo Tokumaru's first album since switching from a tiny indie label to the larger P-Vine Records, but the move hasn't been accompanied by any compromise of the bedroom-music aesthetic that made his previous albums "L.S.T." and "Night Piece" so beguiling."
