Philip Glass, Glass Box: A Nonesuch Retrospective (2008)

Revisiting the work of my childhood hero. For those interested, I didn't purchase the 10 CD box set, but checked them out from the library.

I very much admire all three musicians, but haven't got hold of it yet

Simon, my two listens were of the putzing around the house windows open variety. In short, allowing the three urban fields recorded to mingle pleasantly within that environment. There is a significant range of sounds in the mix, plangent and harsh, as well as burbling and steady state. This is a heavy roster of environmental recordists, I expect closer litens will reveal much.
It is akin to the excellent Warburton "walking through..." stuff.

V/A - Polska młodzież śpiewa klasyków

...featuring Isaac Hayes, Curtis Mayfield, The O'Jays, The Spinners, Barry White, Al Green, The Dramatics, Harold Melvin and my favourite track by Jesse & Trina "Where is the Love?".....this always brings tears to my eyes

The movie isn't bad either

extraordinary studio trickery from the 60's...

that's a good record, although I'm a much bigger fan of the 'rock' side of Futura. fantastic, probably still underappreciated label.

March 1971, actually (but you could argue the 60s ended with the fall of Saigon, so I'll let you off

) Yeah, all those early Futuras are wild. Red Noise, Mahogany Brain..

Well, considering the guy spent years locked up in the studio, the music's from the 60's

Yeah, Mahogany Brain... Where's Michel Bulteau ?

Wish I knew. Maybe Jean-François Pauvros could tell us. Got a copy of Rincures, Julien? That's a good one.

this would certainly rank high in my 100 best list (it'll probably stay in my head)

I heard fille qui mousse : se taire pour une femme trop belle a long time ago now, but apart from that...

I'm baffled as to what people hear in this one, personally. probably the most disappointing release of the year for me so far, given what I'd read about it before hearing it...

well, it's been a while since I've spent time with this stuff, but I believe this would be my recommended list, in rough order of preference:

Jean Guérin-Tacet
Red Noise-Sarcelles-Lochères
Fille Qui Mousse-Se taire pour une femme trop belle
Semool-Essais
Jacques Berrocal-Musiq Musik

and the Horde Catalytique pour la Fin and Mahogany Brain (With Junk Saucepan) are worth checking out also, although I think I wasn't as into those.
