There's a review at Just Outside:

I have the record. It's surprising, not something you can "digest" in one sitting.

To me, it's more about story-telling than setting an atmosphere, if you see what I mean. When listening to it, I'm sometimes tempted to hit "pause" to relax before going on with the narrative nature of the music. It's a huge compliment for me because to narrate you need a vocabularty, and you really get a sense of musicians with a rich vocabulary, although with very rough intonations in some places !



and a nice digipack too...

[Dan Warburton]

Yes, this is an excellent release. If you enjoyed this one Julien you should try & get hold of the other English releases (maybe send a PM to Joe & he'll tell you how). As an English teacher you have to know the language

- some photo documentary about punk

The most remarkable thing about those three purchases: after having bought them, I put them directly into my rehearsal room, left them there for about one week - and during that week I didn't think once of them. I entirely forgot about them. When setting up for a gig yesterday, I found the bag in a drum case and thought "haa? - what's this?".

I apparently started the habit to buy stuff I believe to be interested in.


I'm more excited about another new purchase:
"Cosmik Debris" - apparently substancial documentation on Frank Zappa

Is that this one?



If so I have that and have very little time for it. The Fedman piece (called "Last pieces" though written in 1958) is pretty awful, though I'm not sure if thats down to it being a very unusual composition amongst Feldman's catalogue, or its just played badly. It sounds more like a Tom and Jerry cartoon soundtrack than something you might expect from Feldman.

[bostontricky]

Yes and no, Richard: it's a reissue of the original LP as far as I can tell, so it has the Ligeti and Feldman pieces, along with four live short pieces here titled "Four Improvisations by the Orchestra". I'll keep your advice in mind while listening to the Feldman, the whole enterprise doesn't really seem like a Lenny Bernstein production.

I picked up the disc mainly for Larry Austin's "Improvisations for Orchestra and Jazz Soloists", with Barre Phillips and Don Ellis.
