RANGDA (Richard Bishop, Ben Chasny, Chris Corsano)

Three night residency @ Cafe Oto, 11-13 July. Supported by different solo sets/collaborations by each member on each night.

this record comes together for me more than the others but i'm not really sure why yet

yeah I finally got Heretic's Bargain on LP and it is fantastic, but it's hard for me to articulate just what it is that made the previous one more disappointing - no wild parts? out of all the long epics I like "Hermetic Museum" the most, lots of variation and texture.

has anyone heard the live 10"? are the versions different enough that it's worth getting?

Man I haven't even heard the actual release/album yet, need to get on that.

I know, I felt like I was totally late to it as well! A lot more surf guitar bouncy action and there's a pretty awesome 8-minute freakout with a long fadeout ending ("Hard Times Befall The Door-To-Door Glass Shard Salesman")

yeah, it's good! especially love the long closer.
was just listening to david grubbs' new one and there are actually some pretty rangda-y moments on the tracks with drummer eli keszler

I haven't checked in on a Grubbs thing in forrrever. Mirror Repair remains one of my favorite records of the 90s.

yeah, me neither -- this one is almost all instrumental, which is a plus in my book when it comes to his stuff. i like it!
