― dleone (dleone), Wednesday, 16 April 2003 16:39 (twenty-three years ago)

Goodiepal/Mainpal Inv. 'B&O' & 'Statoil' 7" singles (excellent as always)
Vladislav Delay 'Multila' (finally found one I like)
Pita 'Early Works'
Robert Ashley 'Wolfman' (if you sprang for the vinyl, i wouldn't rebuy the CD for the extra tracks, as I did, like a dummy. 'Wolfman' itself certainly lives up to its reputation though)

awh, now I want to go listen to 'malesch' again

This record, and to an extent this band, is shockingly good. Apparently, someone forgot to make them as famous as Can and Faust.

That ISO record is good.

― dleone (dleone), Wednesday, 16 April 2003 17:49 (twenty-three years ago)

yeah I wish otomo had kept 'ISO' around longer, much more varied and interesting than the 'filament' stuff. I saw them live in SF in 98 and i was feeling pretty alive. watching the drummer play with a live microphone instead of a drumstick _because of the sound_... oh hell I'll just start an Otomo thread or something.

'malesch' is very very impressive... ok I will go check out 'second'.

― milton, Wednesday, 16 April 2003 17:57 (twenty-three years ago)

much more varied and interesting than the 'filament' stuff

You mean 30 minutes of straight sine wave isn't doing it for you?

― Bruce Urquhart (Bruce Urquhart), Wednesday, 16 April 2003 18:17 (twenty-three years ago)

sachiko m's often just simple pain for me. but I loved her track on the 'improvised music from japan' box set, it was busy and filled with details, made my ears happy rather than sad, so maybe I just have more listening to do...

just copy a copy of Henry Cow's 'unrest' LP (2nd hand).

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Wednesday, 16 April 2003 21:26 (twenty-three years ago)

RS, I'm listening to it right now. Some songs I really loved right away ("Hurting Each Other" and "Rainy Days and Mondays" are alone worth the price of admission), some I wasn't as mad for at first. I was somehow a little surprised by the 'dentist's office' vibe of the first few tracks but they've grown on me by the second listen. On the whole, it seems pretty good. "Sing" is really good too.

― sundar subramanian (sundar), Thursday, 17 April 2003 00:08 (twenty-three years ago)

I grew up hearing most (or possibly even all) of these songs, so I know what to expect, but I've never owned anything by the Carpenters. I was thinking I would just buy through their albums, but I think I'd rather get a collection like this first. I don't want anything with recordings that has been too tampered with.

― Rockist Scientist, Thursday, 17 April 2003 00:17 (twenty-three years ago)

Wait, now I think "Sing" is kind of cheesy.

― sundar subramanian (sundar), Thursday, 17 April 2003 00:20 (twenty-three years ago)

LOL. Look, some of the songs are a little cheesy.

― Rockist Scientist, Thursday, 17 April 2003 00:30 (twenty-three years ago)

...record and cd-fair...

does make one envious, really does. there ain't anything remotely resembling that in my homeland any more. 8=(

― t\'\'t (t\'\'t), Thursday, 17 April 2003 08:37 (twenty-three years ago)

The Carpenters are like the greatest thing ever! It's starting to click that I've heard some of these songs before.

― sundar subramanian (sundar), Friday, 18 April 2003 00:56 (twenty-three years ago)

Amnesiac is awesome so far.

― sundar subramanian (sundar), Friday, 18 April 2003 02:47 (twenty-three years ago)

After crawling around on the floor, flipping through the clearance bins at a local shop, picked up lots of stuff very unlike most of what I own/listen to. And payed just $20 + change for the whole bundle!

Killing Joke - s/t
Killing Joke - Night Time
Pere Ubu - Terminal Tower
Birdsongs of the Mesozoic - Sonic Geology
Japancakes - The Sleepy Strange

― Paul in Santa Cruz (Paul in Santa Cruz), Friday, 18 April 2003 03:43 (twenty-three years ago)

All right, here's the fun of scrounging through an almost dead store. The Wherehouse near work, like most of the rest, is closing down completely, and at this point their $5 and under bin has been reduced to 20 cents a disc. Ridiculous. Most of it is utter, utter, UTTER crap, but at that price, there's always room for a few random things -- including some things are also just crap but what the hell, give it a whirl, review it for the AMG, whatever. I left the Darkside and Thin White Rope because I have them already, but among what was remaining:

2 Unlimited, Get Ready
Jon Balke/Oslo 13, Nonsentration
The Beloved, Happiness
Clouds, Thunderhead
The Family Cat, Magic Happens
Five Thirty, Bed
Fudge Tunnel, The Complicated Futility of Ignorance, In a Word
Gay Dad, Leisure Noise
Gobblehoof, Gobblehoof
Monie Love, Down to Earth
Marvelous 3, Hey! Album
O'Jays, The Ultimate
Prodigy, Baby's Got a Temper
Ratcat, Tingles
Scorn, Deliverance
Shudder to Think, First Love, Last Rites
John P. Strohm, Vestavia
Television Personalities, Privilege
To Live and Shave in LA, An Interview with the Mitchell Brothers
Xtra Large, Now I Eat Them
Pay it All Back, Volume 5
Trans Slovenia Express
A Cat-Shaped Hole in My Heart
Kismet (original soundtrack)

Then there was the almost-nothing paid for the DVD for Battlefield Earth. There's always room for laughter at the follies of the likes of Travolta.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 18 April 2003 04:11 (twenty-three years ago)

Oh you got Trans Slovenia Express? How does that sound?

Me:
-Jan Jelinek "La Nouvelle Pauvrete"

The trick with live DVDs if you can't stand to watch them is to just listen to them. Mmm.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 29 June 2003 17:17 (twenty-two years ago)

Just picked up Glenn Branca's The Ascension and Triple R Friends. My god!! I listened to the Branca last night extremely loud, and it floored me. The opening bassline in the first movement is completely badass. And jeebus is Friends ever amazing! Track 1 sounds like all the good parts about the opening 1-2 punch of "Everything in its Right Place"/"Kid A" made into an extract and laced with an actual groove -- all the way down to the slightly-distressed-but-bored glitch vocals and the billowy synths (heck, even the chord changes are reminiscent of "EIIRP"). Beautiful.

― Clarke B. (stolenbus), Sunday, 29 June 2003 17:20 (twenty-two years ago)

Heh, Marcello played "The Ascension" on his show the other day and damn it was good indeed. Good to finally hear it after years of hearing about the darn thing.

Dr C , I recommend you check out the Miles disc. No doubt Marcello or mark s can discuss it more eloquently than me, sufficient to say it's the under acknowledged bedrock of all that scratchy post punkfunk we know and love.

Received in the mail:

Farid el Atrache: Eternal Songs, Vol. 1
Abdel Halim Hafez: Resala

The string sections on these Farid songs are getting to me a little. I think I like the stuff on Vol. 2 more, but it wasn't available. I don't like the chorus too much either. (So glad Oum Kalthoum mostly did away with having a chorus in the background.)

Borrowed from the library:

Murray ("Piranha") Perahia w/ the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields performing Bach Keyboard Concertos Nos. 1, 2 & 4
Eleni Karaindrou: Trojan Women
Nikos Skalkottas: Duos with Violin

Yes you do Jim - and you can still get a free Crispy Ambulance live CD with Black Music if you order it soon (they appear to have sold out of free the Section 25 CD that was given away with initial copies of The Night Watch).

Because I compiled that list from my on-line order history at various places I managed to omit one of the - if not THE - best album I've acquired recently:

FourFathers - Dust

I'd start a thread about The FourFathers and their incredibly talented and verstaile bass player Benjamin Horrendous if I thought there was a reasonable chance that anyone else here had heard of them and might contribute to such a thread rather than leaving it to sink slowly and ignominiously to the depths.

Everyone who likes good experimental rock music - especially Captain Beefheart - really should give them a try 'though: http://easyweb.easynet.co.uk/~bgwaters/Mymusic.html

Then, maybe, when you've bought all the albums (tell Ben I sent you if you are ordering anything btw!), we can have a proper thread about them, eh?
