this is great, Tenniscoats doing something with an electronic guy
The newest album from the Weeknd. It's funny how he became this huge star, I always thought he would remain in the indie realm. But playing with Daft Punk, and changing his image a bit on the cover is kind of interesting to me.
Keith Rowe -- The Room Extended (The epic length makes one naturally reticent to comment on the whole four-hour piece after a single listen, but I will say that there are many extraordinary moments throughout and the sound palette is breathtakingly diverse.)
Florian Hecker - new work & programme of others' work on Radio 3. The first thing I've listened to in ages that's bought back the feeling of first encountering completely alien music on the radio when I was 14/15. Really great
Keith Rowe -- The Room Extended (I'm not close to hearing the whole tetralogy as a whole yet; but disc #4 is a stunner, maybe as great a classic as the original The Room. And something is happening in disc #2 that has left me wonderstruck both times I've heard it, and leaves me without memory both times. There is also the strongest sense I've had from any eai piece -- and perhaps it is just the length, but I don't think so -- that the frame/ boundary between the piece itself and the outside world's sounds is porous and somewhat arbitrary.)
