what are you listening to? a second wave

[Jesse]

I highly recommend Vent, from the same era. It's a nice mix of noisy textures, tactile sounds and uncomfortable drones. I'm not so fond of Static Burn, it's somewhat similar to Field of Skin but not quite as interesting, IMO. Legions in the Walls is cool, really dense walls of sound, barely changing. Crawling Towards the Sun is a nice drone piece, as well, but I kind of stopped keeping up with his output around that time. That said, I really enjoyed his afternoon live performance in NYC during Erstquake 2.

Thanks Joda, they're appended to the short list.

Herve Castellani

Tomasz Stańko - Wolność w Sierpniu

Tadek - what's this one like?
Is it as non-chalant as Goodbye to Maria?

kind of. I think it's better than "Pożegnanie z Marią". perhaps it is not a good disc - the music is solemn, arrangements are sugary - but it's quite nice

[Oprucz tego sie spozniles troche bo jest juz listopad - chyba na bal prezydencki sie wybierasz? ]

byłem ostatnio w Muzeum Powstania Warszawskiego - to o ten Sierpień chodzi: Prezydent mnie nie zaprosił, więc się nie wybieram

High level improvisation.

Thanks for the pointer, Tadk.

[mono tony]

afx - stone in focus

[gohleekwang]

Ryoji Ikeda, Test Pattern. Not sure what to think of this one yet. It seems more relentless than some of his other releases.

I think it is another breakthrough from Ryoji Ikeda.

[7/4]

Alice Coltrane & Carlos Santana - Illuminations

with Dave Holland, Jack DeJohnette, others.

[Richard Pinnell]

Add to the list "Kanticle", "Creatures of Cadence", "Animality" & "Glass Forest"

Thanks for the pointer, Tadk.

I'll second the first two of those Jesse. I've not heard the last two.

Me np: Goh Lee Kwang - Coins

How do you like it? (dum-dee-dum)

n.p.:
A PJ Harvey mix I made out of all those more aggressive & noisy songs from her oeuvre.

I'm a tad let down by the new Luomo Tad....maybe my expectations were too high???

Kinda fun, the sound of coins of different sizes being dropped onto a miked up surface. Its a 3" that accompanies a cute little book full of scribbles that I haven't quite worked out yet!

maybe...
the new one has some fine moments, but as a whole is not good
(at least I'm disappointed)

I think Vocalcity is the best disc of Luomo/Delay/Uusitalo

That's a really strong disc IMO.

I'm listening to some unpublished recordings of John Butcher & Sebastian Lexer's first meeting. Very beautiful.
