what are you listening to? a second wave

Just finishing this up:


Charlemagne Palestine - From Etudes to Cataclysms: For the Doppio Borgato -- Sub Rosa (2008)

Pretty huge and relentless, as one would expect. Cataclisma 3 & 4 had some of my favorite parts where he would back off a bit, exposing the lower layers which sounded quite ethereal. Good stuff, though perhaps a bit much for one sitting (over two hours worth of music after all).

staff carpenborg and the electric corona - fantastic party

"...while this is definitely not some undiscovered classic on the order of a Can, Faust or Neu! (or even the more obscure likes of Siloah, Kalacakra, Necronomicon, etc.) it IS pretty cool. And weird. Especially weird. Imagine Reynols or Yahowha 13 gone lounge, trying to entertain a bunch of jet-setters at some hip, swinging '60s party... It's called Fantastic Party after all and that's what it was meant as, a party record! Some cheesy German record label in 1970 put this together, presumably paying (with drugs?) a bunch of studio musicians to create a one-off psychedelic exploitation album by a nonexistent "band". A dime a dozen back then, maybe, but these guys really really went for it. It is pretty darn tripped out. Groovy but really off kilter and demented. Maybe we'd compare it to the children's songbook funk of Stark Reality, if you've heard the reissue of that. Or some totally dosed jazz combo doing porno music. Good times. Yup, it's got stinging fuzz guitar solos, flute warbling, hiccuping percussion, damaged "singing", bizarro titles... this has LSD written all over it. If you went to this "fantastic party" you'd know that Peter Fonda would be there for sure. And go-go dancers with dayglo body paint. And Timothy Leary, and midgets, and people who look like extras from a Terry Southern penned movie" Aquarius records

Trippy!
Not for too long though

Jason Kahn / Takefumi Naoshima - In a Room -- Winds Measure Recordings (2009)

Love the sleeve design on this (as always with Ben's work). Got this online, so I'll have to order it to get the full experience, given that Winds Measure releases are always a ... tactile experience as much as they are aural and visual.

christopher mcfall - the city of almost

i bought this at the same time as the new asher on sourdine. been meaning to get it for a little while. really nice. takes a few listens to get past all the digital pops (from cutting a section of audio in the middle of a wave) -- i immediately think of them as bad edits, and cringe. but clearly they're intentional.

i've only listened to 'miniatures' once, but the piano does nothing for me. too bad. doesn't diminish my interest in the rest of his music.

Putting out a call for Gianfranco Pernaiachi's Ora, on the ANTS imprint. I will swap anything I have that is oop for a burn of this work.
Thank you.

I don't recall much chatter about this one; it merits close and repeated listens. A long distance collaboration (via Oregon & Estonia), the duo have managed to create a synthesis that belies the distance between them. Strong sculpting of field recordings of organic sources.
Joda, this is up your street, if you don't have it already.
