Jürg Frey : Weites Land, Tiefe Zeit : Räume 1-8 I have so much respect for Frey's music, so this came as a surprise. Especially after it was written about as being so extraordinary. I mean, seriously, even if this is simply "good", is it really so good as to garner such glistening praise ? Where is...

Great, release all of it!

mmm 3 cds..... maybe I'm being too sceptical, but that sound to me there's 2 man being old and thinking all they do is genious..... maybe your are a little cynical too. what's the problem with these 2 old genius geezers doing 3 cds? I see no harm in it. Hell I'd like to hear the 3 cds and the outta...

I have a good chunk of these... still unclear of the story/mythos/hoax surrounding them. Anyone got info - & more importantly a good rip of the Roundtree LP and the Box set? Jim Collins was a project of some young guy in Chicago and his back up band consisted of a few Reckless records employees. Th...

[quote="Damon_Smith"][quote="faster"] I think there were some obvious comparisons between Rowe and some abstract artists, though it could be argued that Twombly (who is still pushing and creating VERY contemporary work so the Ornette comparison doesn't really work) is not so abstract. Why does the O...

i don't think I've ever witnessed a painter in front of a canvas so I wouldn't know what their body language would look like. I highly recommend checking out Clouzot's 'The Mystery of Picasso': http://www.amazon.com/Mystery-Picasso-Pablo/dp/B00007ELEI/ref=sr_1_2?s=gateway&ie=UTF8&qid=1284778047&sr=...

I think the beauty of abstract material of all kinds is the material doesn't tell you how to experience it. this has got me wondering, and I hope I don't sound too much like a newb but could the general consensus amongst members of this board be that the music most often discussed here is considered...

and to maybe take a shot at Kevin's question, I think the connection between Keith's music and painting is pretty obvious to anyone who's ever seen him live. his body language is consistently that of someone with a canvas in front of him (the canvas being the room), someone who knows that any sound...

[quote="Damon_Smith"]Yeah, but I don't really care if you or anyone else sees the similarity between Rowe's music and visual art. His music is put out there open ended and if it is easier for you to deal with purely as sound or music then go ahead and enjoy it that way. i close my eyes and listen to...

Is there anything to expand on? Its a tautology, no? Like saying water is wet.

I wanted to know why or how he thinks other perspectives will be valuable in handling specifically sound and texture. Merely curious is all.

Dylan is best for me in opening credits of the Big Lebowski. The rest of his output just falls flat for me without the bowling footage. Ha, good one! I am fan of most of Brötzmann's periods. I think the Miller/Moholo trio is the high point for me, but his recent groups Full Blast, Hairy Bones and t...

Hello, new here, fascinating discussion going on. When relating music to art there are always these very vague fuzzy notions put forward but nothing concrete is articulated. It serves the goal which is to align the two arts imbuing the music with a prestige it wouldn't other wise have but what is re...
