― is anyone anticipating the new Baaderonixx? (baaderonixx), Tuesday, 6 February 2007 14:02 (seventeen years ago) link
Just got the Inmost Light trilogy reissue and it's fantastic. I knew some of the pieces from the "Calling for Vanished Faces" comp, but it's a stunning listen from start to end. This is some of the darkest material of their folk era. The background drones and ghostly chants are really unsettling.
The 1st and 3rd parts are 20 minute long but each one gets its own CD to preserve the listening order. Me lieks this.
― no-nonsense, Friday, 8 June 2007 11:10 (sixteen years ago) link
I need to get that. But the new reissue of Of Ruine Or Some Blazing Starre is first in the queue for me. Sometimes I think it's the essential C93 album.
― Jon Lewis, Friday, 8 June 2007 14:33 (sixteen years ago) link
Yes, that one is by far my fave. Great great album.
Inmost Light 1 and 3 always left me pretty indifferent. Maybe I should give them a new spin.
― baaderonixx, Friday, 8 June 2007 14:41 (sixteen years ago) link
try the first one when you're in a meditative mood. I really really like that one a lot.
― sleeve, Friday, 8 June 2007 16:33 (sixteen years ago) link
I'm pretty sure when I get the Inmost Light reissue I'll seldom listen to chapters 1 and 3. I'm just excited to have All The Pretty... possibly sounding even better than it did. The remaster of Thunder Perfect Mind had luscious sound, so I expect goodness.
― Jon Lewis, Friday, 8 June 2007 16:45 (sixteen years ago) link
also: when the hell is the "England's Hidden Reverse" book gonna be repressed? $200 on eBay just won't do.

HELLO DAVID KEENAN I AM STILL WAITING FOR YOUR BOOK

Yeah, why hasn't this been reprinted? Isn't there supposed to be something about supply and demand? I'm not even a serious fan of the bands, but I'd be happy to shell out for a budget paperback, just out of curiosity. Same for the Krautrocksampler, warts'n'all.

OH YOU GUYS Lucifer Over London yes yes yes
It begins with a sampled "Paranoid" riff and trundles through "six six six it makes us a sick" and the bells, the bells, and it disappears with a chime bar and a soft guitar and it is something that you need to have.

yeah that's a good one. I think Jnana actually has this in print right now on the Sixsixsix/Sicksicksick CD (which is a singles collection). Pretty sure Bevis Frond dude does guitar on this as well.

I bought something from Tibet's Durto distribution once, and get regular email updates from the man. I'm not a C93 fan, but they're always highly entertaining reading. He's playing in Europe soon with avant-metal dudes Om, Aethenor and . . Rickie Lee Jones.
― Soukesian, Saturday, 26 January 2008 10:06 (sixteen years ago) link
yeah, so, uh, Rickie Lee Jones...
As many of you will have seen, Rickie Lee Jones has been unable to appear at the C93 shows. Both I and Rickie Lee want to point out this happened due to bad luck and unforeseen problems. We remain good friends and, although sadly this time the energy was against us, we are both determined to reschedule our working together as soon as we can.
I haven't really kept up on this band lately but I would love to hear whatever they do together.

― Marco Damiani, Tuesday, 28 April 2009 07:08 (fourteen years ago) link
the new stuff they played in london last year sounded very nice. what an amazing night that was...david tibet, andrew w.k., baby dee, matt sweeney, antony, marc almond, alex nielsen, andrew lilles and some crazy italian soprano guy singing too. bill fay was there but sadly didn't sing anything, slightly irritating considering he gave into Wilco's demands and sang a song at one of their shows a year or so before. anyway, looking forward to the new one too.
― Jamie_ATP, Tuesday, 28 April 2009 07:52 (fourteen years ago) link
For those who've ordered C93 stuff online -- what's the difference between ordering the same albums (say, Dogs Blood Rising or The Inmost Light) from the Durtro store or the Jnana store??? Anything?
― I just wish he hadn't adopted the "ilxor" moniker (ilxor), Tuesday, 28 April 2009 19:41 (fourteen years ago) link
what's the new album?
― a somnambulist in an ambulance (r1o natsume), Tuesday, 28 April 2009 20:09 (fourteen years ago) link
I'm in doubt about the new one (Aleph at Hallucinatory Mountain). It sounds so 'harsh', in comparison to his last albums. I can't get used to the distorted sound, would've much more preferred a 'Pretty Horses' or 'Thunder Perfect Mind' sound. On the other hand it is intruiging. I just haven't found a mood yet to appreciate it. It's lacks eerieness, to my liking.
― Gerard (Le Bateau Ivre), Tuesday, 28 April 2009 22:23 (fourteen years ago) link
i re-listened to imperium for the first time in a while because of the revive - man there's some tasty-weird stuff on there. it's like miserabilist cosmic music.
― GÖTT DAT SCHING (GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ), Wednesday, 29 April 2009 07:05 (fourteen years ago) link
"as real as rainbows" isn't harsh at all, gerard, and might be an entry point
― kamerad, Saturday, 2 May 2009 16:36 (fourteen years ago) link
but i hear what you're saying. stuff like "invocation of almost" is way up there among their heaviest songs
― kamerad, Saturday, 2 May 2009 17:23 (fourteen years ago) link
Just blasting Aleph At Hallucinatory Mountain. Really is heavy.
I feel it's taking me a long time to get to know this album well. So I've been in this 'like it, but don't really love it' limbo for the past few weeks, but I'm beginning to come round to it.
― Duke, Saturday, 25 July 2009 18:44 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah one of the highlights of the year for me, its intensity was not something I was expecting from DT at this point in his life.

Anyone got the new album yet? "Baalstorm, Sing Omega": http://copticcat.greedbag.com/buy/baalstorm-sing-omega/
It's being presented as the final piece of a trilogy that begun with "Black Ships...". I'm only a few songs in, but it sounds lighter, less dense than the preceding "Aleph.." (not difficult, that), with strings, piano and light percussion -- sometimes a little eastern in touch.
― Duke, Saturday, 10 July 2010 15:59 (thirteen years ago) link
I've given it a couple of listens and it hasn't grabbed me yet, I am more interested in the pic disc LP that came out at the same time which apparently has two sidelong pieces. That tends to be the kind of C93 stuff I prefer.
also waiting waiting waiting for the VOD box set, but there really isn't THAT much new stuff on it.
― bug holocaust (sleeve), Saturday, 10 July 2010 19:09 (thirteen years ago) link
Yes, that picture disc looks interesting. It's also available in CD format -- which is not half as interesting, I realise but maybe more easily available.
― Duke, Saturday, 10 July 2010 19:45 (thirteen years ago) link
oh, and the VOD set is now available, I think. Or you probably mean you've ordered it and are awaiting delivery
― Duke, Saturday, 10 July 2010 19:52 (thirteen years ago) link
Those two album length pieces (both 35 minutes each) are kinda boring, actually. It's mainly cello and violin music against a background of waves at the beach.

― Florian Wimpissinger, an Austrian urologist (Abbott), Saturday, 10 July 2010 22:43 (thirteen years ago) link
Despite not being impressed with the samples I heard I bought the 2-track cello/violin/waves CD (longer version(s) on the CD), along with Baalstorm, anyway, & I actually like it a lot more than I expected.
― Wandering Boy Poet, Monday, 12 July 2010 12:01 (thirteen years ago) link
I received the 2-track disc before I received Baalstorm. It didn't impress me. But as it is claimed to be a meditation piece based on the melodies of Baalstorm, I hoped that getting to know Baalstorm would improve my listening experience, that it would click afterwards. That has yet to happen...
Luckily I like Baalstorm a lot, though that took a while too and it is a bit C93 by numbers.
― Sebastian (Royal Mermaid Mover), Monday, 12 July 2010 12:31 (thirteen years ago) link
