Ah! As if the spring weather didn't already have me thinking about going camping.

Bhob Rainey & Ralf Wehowsky - I Don't Think I Can See You Tonight (Sedimental)

One of the most inspiring recordings I've heard since 4g's Cloud and Lionel Marchetti's Red Dust. If you haven't heard this, get on it.

I'm eagerly awaiting its arrival. Comparing it to 4g is a big fucking call. You've really raised my expectations there. Hopefully it will arrive tonight.

Ramleh - Be Careful What You Wish For.

This is pretty awesome.

i wouldn't say that's such a big call. but i agree with jon that the rainey/wehowsky is a masterpiece.

So is Crouton actually Jon Mueller? I didn't think it was, but if so hi Jon, nice label.

I really like the Rainey/Wehowsky too. Its one that on first listen I thought was amazing, but on subsequent listens I just think is very very good, however definitely one of the best this year so far.

It's great.....took me a bit to get accustomed to it, I don't know how much work of his you've heard, but he's sort of like a really chill Lachenmann (most of the time, anyway - there's a work on here that's downright "Wolf Eyes"), in terms of his sound world at least. But I think it's great, really interesting, he has an incredible economy of gesture, so even subtle changes come across as quite significant.

Perhaps at this point I should say that my cd is not the one recently released on confront; this is just an assortment of versions I received from James. I look forward to hearing the confront - most of the versions on my cd are with larger ensembles, with the exception of a solo piano version performed by Sebastian Berweck, and that piece is of such a different character than the larger group ones. So I'd be interested to hear a version for just cello and piano.

I've only played it through a couple of times so far, but I've enjoyed the Confront disc. There's certainly nothing on there that sounds like Wolf Eyes however, its mostly very tastefully played muted and lower volumes tones with the occasional outburst. Some of Saunders material can be found at the Wandelweiser Radio stream http://radio.wandelweiser.de:8002/listen.pls" onclick= "window.open(this.href);return false; and for this release in particular I definitely hear a link to the work of the Wandelweiser guys.

Another interesting link is to Saunders' fellow London contemporary composer Tim Parkinson, whose Cello Piece composition that was released on Wandelweiser late last year carries similar instructions for playback. Both the Saunders and the Parkinson releases request playback in random shuffle mode, so that a new time and place specific work is created each time. The Saunders also adds the option of playing both of the discs in the 2CD set at the same time, but essentially very similar ideas. (not that I'm suggesting that the idea is actually original in any way in the first place!)

Still, I've enjoyed listening so far (and only on 'normal' playback mode so far!)

I recently tried out Charles Curtis' instructions to play two sides of Ultra White Violet Light/Sleep simultaneously on my radio show. Having only ever listened to one side at a time before I was fairly stunned by how effective the combination was. Recommended.

What radio show might that be Mr Git?

Because of the recommendation over in the Shoe Doom thread, I just got finished with almost an entire day of listening to Monarch. The self-titled, or 666, or Hell or whatever the hell it's called double album (the one with "Dead Men Tell No Tales," "Somewhere Below The Devil Is Laughing," and "Les "Lumieres" Have Been Blown Out" on it) is particularly awesome. It would really be nice if someone reissued this. I just bought Dead Men Tell No Tales and, if it's still in stock, the split CD from Aquarius.

Now, for something completely different, I've moved on to Feist's new album. And it's pretty great.
