what are you listening to? a new dawn

[bedouin]

ICHIRAKU / KINOSHITA / UNAMI 'Cymbal violin lapsteel'
Burkhard STANGL-Taku UNAMI 'I was'
Masafumi EZAKI Taku UNAMI 'Manga-Michi'
Taku UNAMI 'Music for white noise'

I thought it was really great music because the players convey the excitement of creating something interesting, but they have a incredible playfulness. There are not many sounds compared to other records, but each sound is ALIVE, so I don't get that feeling of entropy I get with many "reductionist" works.

Yeah, I like this thought.
and, Burkhard STANGL-Taku UNAMI 'I was', is a great album, so, i guess i need to check the other 3 in your list.

Make a Rising - Infinite Ellipse and Head with Open Fontanel

Alan Licht & Aki Onda - Everydays

how is it ?

wasn't really into it from the start. I'm enjoying Onda's walkman sounds as always, but Licht a little less. they do cover quite some territory together though, and they seem to play well off each other. but I don't care much for screechy electric guitar in this kind of music. may get into it more on subsequent listens.

second time around it made a much better impression... guess I shouldn't give stuff like this a first spin when I have to concentrate on other stuff.
np: Franz Liszt - Piano concerto no. 1

I think the Stangl / Unami is by far the best of these four.

annette krebs/ robin hayward



first track is really impressive, i like those voices.
didn't check her previous collaboration with hayward on some pieces , but this encounter will surely prompt it.

Where can I get this? I sent an e-mail to Annette but didn't receive any answer.

I just got a second set of them from her, ErstDist to the rescue!

Victrola Favorites: Artifacts from Bygone Days

[J.F.]

The new Portishead-CD.

I commented not particularly favorable on that one, but it eventually turned out there are a few spots I can't get out of my head. Portishead really should have released an ep only with the 4 or 5 tracks I like.


Anyway, the closing moments of the CD to me sound like the intro to Zappa's "Who are the Brain Police" played backwards.
