Very Best of Randy Travis

[Hayao Yamaneko]

I'd forgotten all about Taraf de Haïdouks - that was one of my most listened to groups through uni - constant essay writing soundtrack. I've barely listened to them since.

This is what happens when your record collection at 20 was 90% slsk mp3s. I have almost none of the records I listened to most at that time.
Home filesharing is killing nostalgia, people*.

(*Good riddance to most of it. Though I'm glad to remember this one. These days I buy loads more than I download, but form an emotional connection with about 1/100th of what i buy. Take that, received opinion about the ephemeral and superficial nature of digital media! pow.)

I was unfamiliar with Huber. Thanks for this tip!

[Piano Mouth]

ditto on that!

a little post-script to Huber:
Here's one particular beauty - among his most sparse and delicate ones I guess, and not released on CD, a.f.a.i.k.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DAtIxM5xjA - sometimes Youtube beautifully fills blank spaces in certain peoples' discographies.

Today I've been listening to about 3 hours of randomly mixed Evan Parker stuff from 1967-1981; I've been familiar with this since the early/mid 90s, yet didn't listen to most of it for several years. Old but still fresh to my ears, loved most of it!

Horace Tapscott -- The Dark Tree 1&2

sick.

[walto]

Again, thanks for all the Huber pointers. I've now listened to a bunch of stuff on youtube. I think I most enjoyed this piece for solo and pre-recorded celli:

[J.F.]

The Ensemble Alternance's quartet version of "Ein Hauch von Unzeit III" is among my Klaus Huber-favorites.

Here's the one from his catalogue I like best so far: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_qoboybDHrM
(I sense a bit of a Charles Ives vibe here... I feel his 4th symphony has a similar atmosphere in the last movement)

Now playing:
Joseph Jarman: As if it were the seasons
I don't know... for me probably not a highlight in the early AACM-catalogue.

[Piano Mouth]

Ah yes, I should revisit the AACM catalog. I have a pretty cool book about them that I read halfway. It's pretty interesting though, with details of the lives of the members at an early age in Chicago.
