please help me parse this fuckin NWW list

it wasnt a mass text, just to you two fellas!

and damn these records are fuckin awesome

it's official -- THIRD EAR BAND is my favorite new thing from the list

i will put on Alchemy later in your honor, pete.

dude if you are liking 3rd Ear Band then don't sleep on their AWESOME 90's "comeback" records Magic Music and Live Ghosts, both of which are totally great and not that different from the 1st three classics.

excellent, will do!

there was also an *unreleased* 4th LP that Akarma put out, and then it seemed to quickly disappear. I tried to order it from Forced Exposure a few years ago around the time it appeared, but it was always perpetually "on backorder". Never ended up scoring a copy. Huge bummer, and I've been forced to scour the 'bay ever since.

then there is also that 'Abelard and Heloise' thing by the original band which i think only ever had a CD release, on Voiceprint (same label that does all the Soft Machine archival stuff.) Still haven't found that one either.

that one's not as good... I had it but did the burn and sell. There is a great CD EP on Voiceprint called "Radio Session", also from the 90's iirc.

Listened to Ian's show on the archive last night, really enjoyed it. Good sequencing, great segues/crossfades.

Is sonny sharrock the only black person on the list

I don't know the ethnicity of most of the list, but no others jump out at me aside from Malcolm Mooney. There are a fair few non-white people on the list, but as far as I can tell, not many black people.

feel like these guys should have really liked jazz

so racist

thought I had a winner with the Hampton Grease Band, google images says no

lotsa azns tho

yeah

I think I was thinking of Harlem River Drive

joseph bowie plays on a james white & the blacks record, but he is neither james white nor a contortion, so i think thats a no.

I thought Ghedalia Tazartes was black, I don't know why.
I remember getting a L'Infonie reissue when I was at the college station that was pretty rad, I'd like to hear it again.

ghedalia tazartes is so rad

ha, speaking of ... I just got the VOD box set in the mail *today*

JEALOUS!

I want that box so bad, didn't subscribe this year.

buncha stuff from the nww list is available on wfmu's beware of the blog: http://blog.wfmu.org/freeform/2005/09/adventures_in_t_1.html#more i had no idea benzaiten was on that list! i used to have that record, picked it up cuz it looked interesting a... [Read More]

i have a few terje rypdal things but i was wondering what you guys thought were his more nww list-worthy moments?

never heard any of his solo stuff, but (maybe too obviously) his contributions to mantler's edward gorey record comes immediately to mind, given a lot of the participants on it made the list.

also if you can find it this is amazing: url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gittin%27_to_Know_Y%27All/url

his piece on that has vocals provided by the great karin krog

damn my lack of internet skillz^ lp is gittin' to know y'all recorded at the baden-baden free jazz meeting in 1969 and it's immense!

got a heck of a cover, that's for sure

for the curious, just discovered 4 discs worth of material from the baden-baden free jazz meeting at:

http://inconstantsol.blogspot.co.nz/2013/05/baden-baden-free-jazz-meeting-1969.html

haven't attempted to d/l yet, so caveat emptor etc.

i like inconstant sol

inconstant sol is pretty reliable -- has been posting free improv stuff for many years.

Also, I finally heard Lemon Kittens -- and they are totally awesome

I have been really really into them lately, even more than usual. All of Karl Blake's solo output is also totally awesome (The Underneath and Evil Twin especially, Shock Headed Peters too).

Stapleton is selling some of his record collection...

http://www.nursewithwound.co.uk/shop/?category=STEVEN%27S+VINYL+ARCHIVE

one of those black sun ensemble records is soooo much better than the other

was a photo of his collection on d.keenan's twitter feed the other day btw:

arent a handful of bands on that list made up or something. i remember hearing someone tell me it was a wild goose chase sort of thing

don't think so, but I could be wrong

hope you mean the S/T there!

Chamberpot
Checkpoint Charlie

mentally merged these two as Chamberpot Charlie. if i ever own a racehorse, well...

hope you mean the S/T there!

ja ja ja! been a looong time since i ran aghast from 'lambent flame' tbh, though maybe i might like it more now?

my advice is "don't go there"

i have that dimthings record in my store right now. it's a hard sell.

also, the Ultra album is essential.

Given their obscurity, some of the artists named on the list have been a mystery for many collectors.[4] Stapleton has even boasted that some of the names on the list were invented,[5] a statement absolutely refuted by John Fothergill.[6]

yowza, this looks awesome - I don't think I've heard a single one of these tracks

https://finderskeepersrecords.bandcamp.com/album/strain-crack-break-music-from-the-nurse-with-wound-list-volume-one

Well, you're in for a treat. The only tracks I recognize by name are Lard Free's "Warinobaril" and the Horrific Child's "Frayeur", but they're both stone cold classics. (The Horrific Child is probably the best record JP Massiera put out.) I know the others by name - the only Mahjun I spin regularly is a dodgy audience bootleg from a '76 French rock festival but it's a jam.

I have the ZNR record the track is from, I'm sure because of the list...

Not sure if I know the particular tracks, but Etron Fou Leloublan have some great stuff, also know Horrific Child, Henry and Guerin. Which means there's still a lot for me to discover there.

I did a weird French music of the 70s comp for a friend a few years ago that had most of these tracks and/or artists on it!

Have never heard of Mahjun though.
