5 out of 5 stars TRICYCLE is NOT Jazz Child's Play.......2005-12-29

You can be assured that any time a Flim and the BB's CD enters your digital stereo domain - you are in for a treat. TRICYCLE is no stranger to this idea. In fAact, it is probably in my top ten most loved Jazz Albums along with Coltrane's Blue Trane and Miles' All Blues - It relally is that good!! It is jazz and improvisation at its finest. Dick Oatts and Billy Barber continue to remain innovative and creative in their approach to Jazz improv. Bill Berg is as masterful a drummer as you could ever "wish upon a star" for and Flim (JImmy ) Johnson has proven over and over again to be one of THE bassists that the world of jazz must stand up for. Add this CD to your collection byut don't stop there, you must also add BIG NOTES, TUNNEL, NEON, NEW PANTS, THIS IS A RECORDING, and THE FURTHER ADVENTURES OF FLIM AND THE BB"S to your collection as well. Lift them all onto your MP3 player and enjoy hours of pure Jazz GENIUS.

5 out of 5 stars The gold standard for stereo evaluations.......2005-09-27

Where to start. This was the first Flim album I ever heard and I was absolutely smitten. This disc and possibly Big Notes are the discs to use for stereo evaluations in my book. Incredible sonic range. If a stereo has a weakness this disc WILL find it. Carry this disc to the store to try out systems and crowds gather to listen. You will be asked about the disc and artists so be prepared to tell them all about Flim and the BB's. If you only have room for one Flim disc in your library, this is the one.

5 out of 5 stars One of a kind.......2005-03-03

I first heard this CD when it was first released. The DMP label was only released on CDs. Tom Jung is the engineer on the series of recordings by Flim and the BBs. Musically, this is original music. Theres nothing to compare it to. My initial exposure was the result of a magazine called Digital Audio. This publication was highly critical of the technical aspects of digital audio. This album was, and to me, still is the challenge to all to properly mike and record a live performance. The dynamic range of the CD is paralleled with the future efforts by Flim and the BBs. Again, credit Tom Jung. The recordings were, as I understand, laid out in one take. No overdubs here, and no remixing.
The lead in piano work on the first track will tempt you to turn up the volume to hear it all. The bass and drums blast in to fill in the developing riff and the CD is a great musical journey from there. I do highly reccomend these CDs for their sound quality. Some of the future efforts were critisized musically by some reveiwers. My advice is not to expect the recording quality on the CD New Pants. It is a clean effort, but the quality is not the same. Other CDs on DMP are good. None equal, to me , Flim and the BBS.

5 out of 5 stars One of the First CDs - Still a Classic Listen.......2000-06-14

I bought this CD in 1984 and still listen to it frequently. While it is fair to say that it was originally popularized as a test disc for high-end stereo systems (it showed off the "new" CD format to great effect), the music is what has kept it alive in my collection. Not easily categorized...kind of a light jazz meets new age meets pop, with a unique spin. Above all, the music has an optimism, a jubilant quality that's hard to describe but immediately apparent. Go for it...I bought several more Flim CDs after this one if that tells you anything. By the way, another exellent choice from this band is "Further Adventures"...but then again they're all really good.

5 out of 5 stars Instumentals designed to test the limits of high-end audio........1999-05-28

Very good artisitc and technical production of intrumentals with big sound and lots of dynamic range. Buy this CD, listen to it, then start upgrading your system to reveal the complexities of composition that can break through the surface. This production is not for boom boxes or 90% of mobile audio systems. Read the liner notes before playing and start your first listening with a low volume setting.
