So far (haven't had time yet today for Cafe Oto), I haven't gotten into any of their releases all the way through, but always love some tracks, starting with "Cummins Falls" and "I'm Not Trying To Wake Up," both on my gateway, Wood/Metal/Plastic Pattern/Rhythm/Rock (still need to check earlier stuff).

Huh--when the Arthur Russell Roulette set was posted, I was able to right-click on that page's player widget and get it to download, but now it isn't cooperating.

Right click > view page source > look for the mp3 address.

Right on--thanks!

Man I'm still absorbing Power Failures, haven't even thought about getting to those Roulette or Cafe Oto sets yet. Definitely an embarrassment of riches, I'd have been happy even if the Little Big Band would have been all we got this year.

imo
Cafe Oto > Roulette > Little Big Band >> Power Failures
but I might bump the Roulette set up after further listening, and there ain't much margin in any of those

I get the low ranking for Power Failures, give the grab bag nature, but that live set at the end with the birds in the background is utterly sublime.

ooh I haven't really dug into that one yet, thanks. I dig the two versions of "15" and I like that Sue Garner is on it.

Sorry for the self-promo quasi-spam, but I think this is actually pertinent to this thread since 75 DB and Josh Abram's NIS are the two acts that come to mind that my own music seems really kindred to (and to an extent influenced by, although I was making stuff in this vein before hearing them), so maybe some of you fellow ILMers might dig this--if anybody likes these tracks I'm aiming to record 10 more by end of August: https://kunudusuvuntu.bandcamp.com/album/p-a-n-d-e-m-o-s-1-10

(Abrams, whoops)

imo there should be more self-promo quasi-spam on ILM

Ha, cheers
