Anything our readers and followers would like to contribute goes here. That may include recommendations, reviews, recordings, you name it.
The earlier contributions thread was unfortunately deleted, but we have managed to recover about three years of the last five years of posts. The recovered posts have now been moved to separate posts in the new thread. All links to files are working at the time of writing. If there is anybody out there who has found that their contributions are missing, feel free to repost them or if anybody has downloaded files when they were still available, the same thing applies. Of course, we welcome any new contributions from our followers, anything that we and you should know about.
@Magogiallo
Unfortunately the rip of the Tom Bruno & Ellen Christi is in mono, it comes from ninegreychair. All the others Tom Bruno posted on this blog are in stro except this one. SO if someone have the lp and want to do a new rip it would be appreciated.
TO change totally the topic, do someone know a late Cleve Pozar album titled"let's try it again? IN the eighties and nineties Pozar have changed a bit the aesthetic of his music and was less interested in avant garde so I wonder about this album where he plays bata drums? If someone knows it and can describe.

there is one copy for sale actually on discogs but I won't buy it due to the fact that I know the seller and have problems with him in the past.
I have listened to the preview of this one -lp and it seems very interesting. Agusti Fernndez is a well known musicians I don't know much, Liudas Mockunas is new to me. @ OSIRIS Lake/Newton duo is quite great, James Newton is one of those musicians I first met here at IS. Thanks
@ trabukko.59, I think the most of us have the house full of records, CDs, tapes etc. if not, how could exist a blog as Incostant Sol and if they are not available on the market, I don't see which is the problem to share between music lovers. Actually didn't we already done that in the past exchanging tapes and then CDr, well at least I did it with all my friends. Of course just my opinion :). Thanks for your last share, if someone would like a lossless rip I can upload it.
@ magogiallo. It seems to me that the blog is careful not to share currently distributed material and to stop sharing albums when they are republished.
I think this serves to encourage the purchase of records, but many who download albums in lossless quality will certainly not be interested in purchasing the original version.
The above are just considerations. Of course I agree with you on the spirit of the blog (awesome blog!).
magogiallo ... sei italiano ?

All contributions are good but frankly MP3's sound like crap, which is why this blog and most of the community of OOP and RoIO collectors renounced MP3's 10 years ago as a policy. For instance they have no 'trade value' whatsoever with collectors and the sources of these OOP and RoIO's utterly reject MP3's. Personally I don't touch them unless there's no other option.
@ Osiris I perfectly agree with you, I avoid mp3 and use them only if I don't find something better as for the above post that I decide to upload bc I think it is quite interesting even if the rip is pretty crapy. Hopefully it can also be a way to find a lossless one :).
It was not long ago that we were talking about Mr. Cherry and his RAI recordings...and here it is -shanti-shanti-om-lp it is out for Black Sweat Records a very interesting italian label.
hello people
Maybe ' contributions' is not the right place but here is were the discussion started.
A few words again on the infinite history about mp3 and flac.
As a participant of this blog I always share music in flac, when is the rip of an album that I own, for respect to the people that prefer it in flac, while to me 320 are good as well.
I spotted a comment above by OSIRIS where is said "mp3 sound like crap".
I don't notice the difference between a 320 and a flac and like me the majority of listeners (there have been inquiries and statistic made on this issue).
From what I know, to notice the difference between a flac and a 320 you need a very expensive sound system; saying mp3 sound like crap looks an insult to all the people that cannot afford to spend some -or many- thousands euros for amplifier, speaker etc., and this is the majority of people.
The format or the music?
In one of my last post I shared "Reform Art Orchestra meets Subway Art" as a 320, no other format available. There were about 180 downloads, about the half of the usual, for an album very well recorded, while some live concert posted here and around are unavoidably of very poor sound quality, and flac cannot change this, even if the music is still worth listening.
Again the music or the format? what do you find more important?
@corvimax - thanks for those words and opinions. What is important? To me it is Music. I am trying to remaster some shared recordings, when they have in flac or even in any mp3. With rusty and dusty recordings format is irrelevant. What you hear in the end is music, if it's there.
@Osiris
it depends on what kind of mp3, of course if you compare lossless with mp3 at 192 or in a less quality you will hear a difference but the difference between mp3/320 and lossless in term of high frequencies (those are the ones compressed in lossy) is very smal, less than 1 Khz if my memory is good.
Can we make this Contributions Section better? I'm doing what I can to post things that are exciting and enjoyable. In the past Sirone was a big deal on Inc Sol but I just posted his largest body of RoIO recordings with the wonderful Pharoah Sanders on his Summer 1968 tour in France and crickets. Where are the collectors who will give to this blog freely without a bunch of hot air about nonsense? This section is for contributions of RoIO's and OOP jazz and discussions about said contributions. Come on people -- we can do better. Cheers :)
check my contributions in the past two years and you will see if it is hot air man! where have you read that I have trolled you? Obviously you need a good psychiatrist that can deal with your paranoia. So go on posting your music and complaining that there are no reactions.
this seems to be quite interesting -echoes-the-covi Horace Tapscott and Pan Afrikan People's Arkestra live 1976. I first listened to his music on I.S. so again thanks for all the passion and time some people put here on the blog. I am a bit surprised to see this kind of discussions on the blog, people use their time as they like or can, talking about me, from when I was a kid I am used to listen to many different kind of music, not only jazz or more strictly improvised music, then I love to spend as much time as I can outdoor, then I am dealing for a couple of years with a demented mom, then I have friends I love to see, then I have to work, then I also like to wonder around on the net to see if I find some music stimulates my curiosity, I.S. is one of the best place for that, but days have only 24 hours and sleep is a must too :). So guys take it easy, there are bigger problems out there. Of course just my opinion and I promise I won't talk about that anymore.
Regarding Jamie Saft, this treasure is now finally available for download for people who don't have no more turn table:
-healing/
one of the best Sun ra inspiration without being a simple copy
@Trabukko
yes it is available for download but the download version have some noises in several tracks that probably comes from the digital transfer. I bought the digital version from itunes and they refunded my order. I suggested them to remove the file or to get in touch with the label, I don't know if they done it or no. I think they don't care due to the probable low level of sales of that kind of album. So I think that considering that it might be possible to share it, eventually for a limited time if Ernst is oK or if not I would be interested to have the file personally because due to the digital problems I never listen to the download version.
Thank you for the invite Andy. I'm not the original uploader of these RoIO's so adding them to the Contributions section seems prudent. The original blog owner Marc also invited me to be an admin/moderator here many years ago and I did not accept for the same reason. Cheers!
@ Osiris, thank you a lot for all of these GUnter Hampel recordings, Vienna concert is quite amazing! After many years I finally found lossless rips of Spjrnsvallet, Vargavinter, Levande Livet, Archimedes Badkar & Afro 70 and the first two Arbete och Fritid, if someone is interested just let me know
Testimony of an incredible and unrepeatable period of Italian Jazz, this record is unfortunately and unfairly little known.
Patrizia Scascitelli, a pupil of Giorgio Gaslini, was 25 years old at the time of the recording and, as a trio, offers original pieces alternating with reworkings of popular themes.
Absolutely to listen. That's all folk.

@roberth You're very welcome. I'm not the recorder or original seeder of any of these but I have acquired a large RoIO collection. I also have a large freejazz LP collection that I treasure. Cheers! :)
ops...I didn't check it :)...I've recently relistened to the 35th AACM anniversary festival, lots of great music there. I have it for a very long time and as I have never bumped again in it, if someone is interested I could upload it. They are 4 double CDs, one for each day (27-30-4-2000).
