Boyce & Hart - stuff

Dick Gaughan - No More Forever (with this album I almost managed to do something that I've never previously managed, that is to listen to a Dick Gaughan album without crying at least once. I got to the final 30 seconds of this album and then the closing verse of "The Green Linnet" did for me and I found myself welling up at the thought of "Sweet Boney" dying on "St. Helena's bleak shore".)

Joyce 'Clareana' -- acoustic gtr and voices make run away, this is one of the v few times that it doesn't.

A sound track (not sure whether its a compilation or what) by Bappi Lahiri -- 'College girl' uses the riff from "I feel love" in between tablas/overdramatic (near stalker) emoting..

V/A - RGM Rareties Vol 2 The Beat Years (Joe Meek productions from 64-66 e.g The Buzz, Charles Kingsley Creation, The Beatmen, The Impac, Jason Eddy...) all utterly fantastic.

― Dr.C (Dr.C), Tuesday, 7 February 2006 11:58 (twenty years ago)

I cannot stop listening to the Bellowhead E.P.onymous that Ed left on my 'puter last weekend.

It's a bit weird when the most inspiring, uplifting, make-you-get-up-and-dance-about-the-flat thing I've heard all year is a bunch of beardy folkies with tubas and things.

Bobby Womack - lots but esp. "Communication" (I can live without the covers of "Fire and Rain" and "Everything Is Beautiful" but the 9:30 mins version of "Close to You" is great - but what is he on about in the monologue that precedes it?!??!)

Joe Meek productions (first time I'm listening to his work) and music for film noirs.

Gyorgy Kurtag 'Concertante' and Benedict Mason's 'Double concerto'. The latter esp., is mastreful, in the way he seems to move sound around the ensemble without forcing it.

No I don't Sundar. I've only heard him on rec w/Tom Waits and live w/Electric Masada (where he sounded great). How is it?

Last Night - Jean Barraque's 'Sequences' - prob like this more than most Boulez i've heard bcz it packs in quite a bit of drama.

Claude Vivier and his opera 'Kopernicus'.
One of the most original works of the last 20 years: Lachenmann's 'NUN' for flute, thrombone, perc, singers and small ensemble.
Unsuk Chin's 'violin concerto', Kaija Saariaho's 'Graal theater' and Chris Dench's disc for flute are more recent and just as wonderful too.

Tin Soldier: The Steve Marriott Anthology.

It is rubbish apart from the Small Faces tracks, which I already have apart from one in Italian (bad idea) and a French EP version (good idea). I managed about two minutes of Humble Pie, but did sit through the whole of the disc of even later stuff.

I wonder what I should exchange it for.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller 68), Thursday, 23 February 2006 08:00 (twenty years ago)

Went to a piano recital that took place at this Lutheran Church in Central London - great programme, with a good mix of old (from the mid-50s) and new pieces composed specifically for the pianist. Well balanced and v nice sequencing - from virtuoso to simpleton works to a plain playfulness.

Vangelis and Irene Papas: Odes

Thanks t\'\'t, I somehow only just found this tucked away in the double CD you sent me. I didn't like the first disc of that Theodorakis stuff, so I must not have opened the other half (even though even I find it hard to believe that's what I did). Anyway, I kind of like this. It makes a pretty good segue from Greek laika and rembetika to chill-out sounds.

― Rockist_Scientist (RSLaRue), Wednesday, 1 March 2006 00:30 (twenty years ago)

Rockist-O, I'm glad you liked Odes. A couple of those pices are really very beautiful.

Btw, can you tell me who're the composers of the music on those Kalsoum CD-R's you sent me ...?

― t\'\'t (t\'\'t), Wednesday, 1 March 2006 01:35 (twenty years ago)

Can you remind me what I sent you? I think they were all, or almost all, Riad el-Sounbatti (al-Sunbatti, Asounbati, etc.--I think I may be the only one on the internet who regularly spells it "el-Sounbatti" and that's just out of preference), my favorite of her composers (and also the one who wrote more songs than of the others). A great oudist too.

Regarding the Essex luv - hadn't heard All The Fun ... for about thirty years. Had my vinyl copy "badly stolen" when I was in secondary school. And now - it did sound even better than I remembered.

― t\'\'t (t\'\'t), Wednesday, 1 March 2006 18:09 (twenty years ago)

Some works by Christopher Fox -- he sounds very minimal and yet there's just enough grit in between to make it work -- these are wild surfaces.

Liza Lim compositions as played by the (really great) Australian ensemble ELISON.

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Thursday, 2 March 2006 10:06 (twenty years ago)

A couple of great old-school Brit improv CD reissues just out: Study II/Stringer by Barry Guy and the LJCO - the Stringer stuff's from 1980 and Brotzmann's in the line-up, as is the otherwise-unrecorded (to the best of my knowledge) drum coupling of Tony Oxley and John Stevens (a pity they didn't repeat it; their duo features here make you wish they'd done a whole album together). So it's pretty bloody by LJCO standards but great nonetheless. Also Spirits Rejoice by the Louis Moholo Octet FINALLY out on CD - though coupled with a 1995 Vive La Black session which is OK but not as great; and disappointingly they seem to have cut the CD from a vinyl master. Still, it's there for those as wants it.

― Dr. C (Dr. C), Monday, 6 March 2006 10:42 (twenty years ago)

Richard Emsley 'Juniper Tree' is a chamber ensemble piece scored for "puppett theatre" that happens to be the wildest ride i've heard in ages, fierce complexity at its most entertaining and it got me thinking of a compilation for this stuff: this wd be the last track.

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Monday, 6 March 2006 10:56 (twenty years ago)

I'm not sure about Hello Young Lovers either. Interesting ideas (or idea) but the songs long outstay their welcome. Trevor Horn would have made twice as good an album at half the length if he'd produced it.

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Monday, 6 March 2006 11:05 (twenty years ago)

Meanwhile, I am currently listening to: well, the usual undisciplined melange of stuff - Procol Harum, the Mars Volta, Eugene McDaniels, Barry Adamson, Nancy Priddy, Hoagy Carmichael, Kiki, Miles (Live/Evil), Mark Stewart, Francoise Hardy, Manfred Mann, Gorky's Zygotic Munki and Nick Heyward but mostly Broken Social Scene.

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Monday, 6 March 2006 13:21 (twenty years ago)

What Procul Harum, M? There's a cracking track on this month's free Mojo CD which has got me interested, but I don't have any full albums of theirs, just bits and bobs on comps.

I am now listening to 'Hot Generation : 60's Punk From Down Under'. Beat/freakbeat of the highest order - absolutely cracking stuff.

(Dr C/Procol x-post)

Mostly A Salty Dog but also the one they did with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra and Exotic Birds And Fruit, the latter of which I still think is their masterpiece (it resonates even more strongly when you think just how indispensable Gary Brooker's voice and keyboards are to Aerial).

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Monday, 6 March 2006 13:59 (twenty years ago)

The Doc is back on the 'freakbeat' - of the highest order!

PJM, your choice was good.

Youn, do you rate that Aztec Camera record?

Coincidentally, today I dug out my Zombies tape. I was struck by the rather precious (in a bad sense!?) delicacy of it. I tried to remember the name that the singer has, which I knew was one of the most lumpenly naff ever in pop, like the name of a Birmingham City centre-back. Now Youn has reminded me!

"Sparkle in the rain" - Simple Minds.

OK, so it's the point where I gave up on them, but what a place to stop. The fact that it reminds me incredibly of a very emotional time in my young life (14, and losing the first girl I ever had a crush on) also adds to its joy.

― Rob M (Rob M), Monday, 6 March 2006 16:39 (twenty years ago)

Sundar i really love 'time and motion II'.

Peter Maxwell Davies 'Eight Songs for a Mad King' is a 'Pierrot Lunaire'-type piece, and that is a format I'm all for.

Stravinsky 'the Rite of Spring' (cond. Abbado) - as a sorta warm-up as there ws a TV drama made about the riotous 1st performance, including the whole performance of what Nijinsky's choreography might have looked like.

Ennio Morricone 'Il serpente' great soundtrack score from the early 70s.

Chris Dench 'Music for Flute' - In which he imagines everything a Flute can do, and that happens to be a heck of a lot, as far as i'm concerned.

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Monday, 13 March 2006 09:27 (twenty years ago)

Have finally stopped playing "Sparkle in the rain", and Marcello you should listen again with fresh ears, or at least pick up the remastered edition whilst it's dirt cheap, because it's worth it.

Instead I'm obsessing on the new James Roberts album "Everything you know is right", which makes up for all the dreadful Delta records I've bought over the years waiting for him to make a record as good as "A morning odyssey" again, and he's finally done it. Hurrah.

― Rob M (Rob M), Monday, 13 March 2006 11:03 (twenty years ago)

No I think I'll stick with my "HMV £4.49" stickered vinyl original. Don't know why I've still got that, even. That tortuous take on "Street Hassle"! And as for "Get out of Bom-BAY and! Go up to Brix-TON!" - is Jim Kerr sure he didn't mean to sing "Go up to Bridgeton?"

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Monday, 13 March 2006 11:16 (twenty years ago)

where is it dirt cheap?

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller 68), Monday, 13 March 2006 11:18 (twenty years ago)

Aha, someone else who leaves the price stickers on their records! Trust me, my original vinyl sounded dreadful - particularly on "Kick inside of me" - so yours may too. Of course, with the CD you can program out "Street hassle" so you never need hear it again.

(It's £3.99 in HMV, or was at least)

"Happy Mondays" by My Teenage Stride

Everybody's getting together.
I'd rather just stay at home.
Everybody's going out drinking.
I'd rather just drink alone.
So I say let's go to a party
But you never have the time.

[and also]

You only want to dance to the Happy Mondays.
You never do a thing when I put on the Sundays.

dragnet by the fall, right now. whilst ironing, arthur or the decline and fall of the british empire by the kinks. in the car, a pinefoxian tape - hard shoulder / i think you dropped a moonbeam. chained (not really - more like ruminating - bovine!) to the elliptical trainer (is that what they're called now?), strange geometry. i also listened to an interview that a. maclean did on a college radio station in guelph, canada. this was in bed, trying to get up. the inspiration was to record all his influences in my notebook.

Helmut Lachenmann 'NUN' - really one of the great chamber/orchestral works of all time. His instr concrete aesthetic is worked to its ultimate, savage conclusion - the atomized textures are unbeatable and miraculous, sounding so good at 2am.

Luigi Nono 'Fragements of Silence' - his only score for str quartet and already a top 10 on only a 1st listen. This can only get better.

Benedict Mason's str quartet works nice melodies n'all - heard quite a few things from him, can't tie him down to anything too concrete. And that is a great thing.

Hampton Grease band 'music to eat' is pretty smart about its soloing, really keeps me on my toes. Zappa produced it and its a shame that it didn't rub off on the mothers stuff i've heard but i can see how the minuteman might have heard it.

Julius eastman ws a classical singer whose compositions have just come out, a few years after he passed away: 'if you are smart why aren't rich' is all i've heard so far - its a cracker.

Jakob Ullmann on ed.RZ: 'a catalogue of sounds' is a 73-minute piece for string trio + string ensemble. its great noise, pure and simple (or complex).

Morton Feldman 'words and music' my fave of his short works, and, clocking in at 41 minutes, that's short - an excellent take on the whole Schoenberg 'pierrot lunaire' vocals + small ensemble format.

Franco Donatoni chamber pieces - really love the pieces composed in the 80s although you can plot how he developed from the late-60s.

and yeah, scott walker - bits from 'the drift' - it does anything but merely drift along.

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Wednesday, 5 April 2006 10:43 (twenty years ago)

Coil - The Ape of Naples. I really think it might be their best album, it's almost unbearably beautiful in places, the sound is deep and crisp and it sails through a huge range of moods and themes.

The Streets - Hardest Way to Make an Easy Living. When he's good, he's very very good, but when he's bad he's kind of meh. Not a patch on the Sway album, though.

Pink - I'm Not Dead. It's good, and "Stupid Girls" is grrrrreat, but it feels like it lacks a lot of the fizzy pop thrills of the last two albums. No Linda Perry might have something to do with that. I'm hoping it'll be a grower. "Dear Mr President" is surprisingly good, if obvious.

And a bunch of other stuff. A lot of Joni Mitchell. The Eagles' The Long Run. The new Donald Fagen's bleeding amazing, obv. Some Chet Baker, soon, I think. I got Chet Baker come down blues kicking in big.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller 68), Thursday, 13 April 2006 08:33 (twenty years ago)

Quite a bit from Scott Walker 'the drift', 'pola x', 'tilt' as well as material from the walker brothers.

Sciarrino's 'Vanitas' for violin, voice and piano is prob my favourite score from him but he's composed so much.

Chaya Czernowin's disc of chamber works is a wonderfully sequenced selection.

James Brown - star time CD 1 - so nice to hear his sound evolving into what so many know and love and live by, i guess.

Elliott Carter 'ASKO concerto' and 'Boston Concerto' from his latest disc on Bridge - kind of hard going but there is an impression that there is a hook in there (the way the harp came in on 'ASKO..') so i'll keep looking.

Making my way through Howlin' Wolf 'Howlin at the Sun' from 1951.

Mark Radcliffe: last night, annoying - due to woeful interview with Louise Wener (who says she can't understand why people still associate her with Sleeper; ponder that at leisure), and recent revelations about his salary, spoiling it for me. He probably gets a load of extra cash for narrating a documentary on John Martyn or whatever, too.

― the bellefox, Tuesday, 25 April 2006 12:56 (twenty years ago)

But he would be on XFM otherwise. I'm sure he gives it all to good causes anyway.

Coil - Ape of Naples. Noodle Vague put it well upthread: Coil - The Ape of Naples. I really think it might be their best album, it's almost unbearably beautiful in places, the sound is deep and crisp and it sails through a huge range of moods and themes.

Nurse With Wound - Alice the Goon. Wonderful and terrifying.

Montana Pete - assorted 7"'s. Free records, and they'd probably send them to you too: www.montanapete.co.uk. Tight playing and good arrangements.

05/06 salsa-y-mas mix premature draft.

People really should check out Sos Lazaga's "Chango." It's hard to describe, but it's got a solid Afro-Cuban rhythmic base with a quiet mildly funky Sunday morning urban sophisticate smooth jazz music feel (no horns), a male vocalist singing in a fairly aggressive Afro-Cuban (Yoruba) religious style, dueting with a female singer who sounds more like she's in the smooth jazz place, and then a larger chorus, which maybe bridges the two vibes (although it's clearly got an African feel to it).

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller 68), Friday, 19 May 2006 08:34 (twenty years ago)

Highlights of the last couple of weeks:

Friedrich Cerha - Spiegel. If he is known at all, its for completing the scoring the 3rd act of Berg's 'Lulu' but 'spiegel' reveals what a good composer he is.

Lhasa - the living road. As I recall she's Mexican. She does sing in 3 languages and some of the arrangements do manage to complement the sultriness of her voice. The electronics happen to be muscular but not too overwhelming.

Toru Takemitsu - His film scores were compiled in 6 volumes in the early 90s and I've been checking out 4 of these. The range is fairly astonishing. As w/Morricone, you get the feeling he can deploy any type of music to score any emotion convincingly. Of course, I only happened to have seen one of these movies, so its only a guess.

Julio Estrada - Music for Chamber strings is excellent so far. Some other things for the 'significant classical music in the 15-20 years' on ilm that I intend to write-up later on.

**the clean anthology**

Yes, I would like to be listening to this, but the cnut who I bought it off on ebay has taken 3 weeks to get around to shipping it.

Meanwhile :

MC5 - Big Bang (Best Of). Fun!
Dr. Alimantado - Best Dressed Chicken. Still a classic!
Echo and The Bunnymen - Flowers. Surprisingly terrific - relaxed, lightly psyched up - Will and Mac in great form. It's Alright and the Title track may just be two of the best songs they ever did.

I listened to Clap Your Hands Say Yeah while exercising and without really paying attention because I was tired and thinking about work (so slow). I also listened to parts of Sunlight by the Windmills because summer has finally started, but that album takes you all the way to high heat and daze, but I guess that's all right because that's it's progression: it starts and already you've had enough.

― youn (youn), Tuesday, 30 May 2006 00:28 (nineteen years ago)

Some instrumentals by Antonio Carlos Jobim. All very Meg Mortimer, but lovely nonetheless.

Before that The Chemical Brothers 2xCD singles thing. Rather hard going at times. Perhaps it will go back to the shop in exchange for a manky fiver, or perhaps another £5 CD.

Before that, Eyewitness 1910 - 1919. I now know all about the first ever Royal Variety Performance. Cambridge Circus, you know. Idea being to give the music hall a veneer of respectability. I shall think about this when I return my Chemical Brothers 2xCD to Monsieur Le Fopp, if indeed I do return it.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller 68), Tuesday, 30 May 2006 06:36 (nineteen years ago)

Mostly the stuff I unsuccessfully tried to burn for some CD compilations I was wanting to make for my other half in Canada. What a waste of a Bank Holiday weekend - not the compiling of them, but the fact that it all came to nothing, since on testing the blank CDs back at home I found them to be, er, blank. Clearly I am not to be trusted with Modern Technology.

Otherwise:
Burial Burial (which is as mindblowing a masterpiece as everyone's been saying it is)
Carl Craig Landcruising
El Perro del Mar El Perro del Mar (Sweden's Julee Cruise? Some of this is remarkably, if painfully, beautiful)
The Feeling Twelve Stops And Home (it's a grower)
Future Funk Squad Audio Damage (terrible name/title, and Eddy Temple-Morris likes them, but astonishingly pretty good!)
Gotan Project Lunatico
Bruce Springsteen The Seeger Sessions (esp. "Shenandoah" which could ideally go on forever in a Sufjan Stevens kind of way)
Various John Peel and Sheila: The Pig's Big 78s (heartbreaking to listen to, really, but I'm glad it's come out)

And the new Scritti is not too bad but you knew that already.

Level 42 - Something About You 12"

I love the little fella who sings sometimes.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller 68), Tuesday, 30 May 2006 07:13 (nineteen years ago)

I have listened to all these over the last week or so:

throbbing gristle 20 jazz funk greats
TSOL dance with me
ultramagnetic MC's new york what is funky
united states of america s/t
va all for one… one for all
va desperate rock'n'roll #1
male nurse GDR 7"
male nurse my own private patrick swayze 7"
male nurse magic circle in the sky 7"
bats daddy's highway

edan beauty and the beat

exploding hearts modern kicks 7"
freda payne band of gold
johnny vomit & the dry heaves chokin' on a lude 7"
hackamore brick one kiss leads to another
peter hammill nadir's big chance

My favourite was the Desperate Rock'n'Roll comp. Closely followed by Edith Nylon, Cryptic Slaughter, Exploding Hearts (Teenage Faces 7"), Boris, TSOL & Throbbing Gristle. The Ultramagnetic MC's was a load of rubbish, the Basement Tapes is a much better collection of outtakes. Everything else is OK to good.

A MiniDisc compilation of my own devising - very enjoyable. Most striking lyric - "I don't want to check your pulse" by Elvis Costello.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller 68), Monday, 19 June 2006 07:52 (nineteen years ago)

Hot Chip The Warning
Sounds better in the sunshine. Quite like "Over And Over" now. But the vocals in general remain problematic.

Joan As Police Woman Real Life
This is something special. The title track and "Anyone" reduced me, melted me to an emotional puddle. Some of the album strays into Norah Jones territory but her voice is magnificent. When the songs are up to par she reminds me very much of Annette Peacock circa Sky Scraping - that same hoarse grace. And such emotion. The bit on "Real Life" where she whimpers the name "Jonathan" is overwhelming punctum. That lyric sums up how I feel at the moment.

Alex Smoke Paradolia
"Prima Materia" is remarkable; Victory At Sea brass and strings set to a 1989 Deep House beat (nearly New Beat; one forgets how slower House was in the old days). The rest of it is that lurking-in-shadows, minimalist champagne iceberg of techno which goes down well with me on humid late nights. He shouldn't sing, however ("I Never Want To See You Again").

J Dilla Donuts
Luminous mirage montage of (largely) unused instrumental hip hop loops; does indeed remind me of abandoned summers in a pre-Prefuse 73 kind of way. And he bases one loop around 10cc's "Worst Band In The World"! Chap! (RIP)

Also:
Camera Obscura Let's Get Out Of This Country
Final Fantasy He Poos Clouds
Booka Shade Movements

and for the oldies:
Go-Gos Beauty And The Beat
Edwyn Collins I'm Not Following You (mainly for "Seventies Night" with Mark E Smith)
Helen Reddy Best Of ("I am woman, hear me roar")

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Monday, 19 June 2006 08:04 (nineteen years ago)

Vienne art orchestra "the minimalism of erik satie" - almost as good as its rep, on first listen.

Simon Nabatov Octet "a few incidences" - so far, the more songy it is, the better. Not feeling it when its stretched out.

Elliott Carter "night fantasies" - very intense piano work - really great.

"great compilation" = 'ecstacy and wine' + 'isn't anything' era ep tracks. very little input by me. except the seeve. and most of that was done by heinz.

after missing three days due to lack of internet i am still wading through last week's bbc output on listen again. next up: garage pressure then radcliffe from thursday.

― koogy wonderland (koogs), Monday, 19 June 2006 12:54 (nineteen years ago)

I wade through sometimes, too, Koogs, but for it's mostly Bob Harris.

re. your grate compilation, I am just making public my grateful enthusiasm for the grate CD that you made for me. It keeps on going. I have come to think of some of the early stuff as perfect indie-pop - a weary-looking phrase, but I guess I mean, purer than the campy frippery that a Tallulah Gosh can sometimes dabble in.

Milton Babbitt "A solo requirem" for soprano and two pianos is v good indeed.

John Cage "Etide Australes" book 1-16 dbl LP as played by Grete Sultan on piano. Fantastic score, with a lifetime of details within. 32 pieces in all and I'd love to hear the rest someday.

String quarets by Ben Johnson and by the ancient, obscure serialist Elizabeth Lutyens.

― xyzzzz__ (jdesouza), Thursday, 22 June 2006 17:11 (nineteen years ago)

― Tab Hunter loves to take his shirt off (kenan), Friday, 21 July 2006 16:10 (nineteen years ago)

Eh, DJ Naughty's One Naughty Night In Berlin has its moments, but turned out not so great,so far.Should a dance mix have to/ be allowed to grow on you? It's meant to be an immediate rush, on the dancefloor--but this ain't there, though it could have been, but then again, once a night out has been reduced to/indicated by a CD, it should be given as much patience as any other CD *might get... But Blowoff is pretty good! Bob Mould, times Richard Morel of Deep Dish etc. First couple of tracks have draggy vocals, but the others work, so far: cruel summer romance, good for the exercyle, though I'm still not dancing, yet it could happen yet.

Compositions for the Intonarumori (its a family of instruments that produce these acoustic 'mechanical' sounds created by Futurist Luigi Russolo in the 1910s) and played by the creme de la creme of japanese improv. There is defintely something here.

Luigi Nono LP of 3 compositions on the ed.RZ label -- all late period, mostly playing at the extremities of dynamic, acoustic sounds morphed into machines of sound.

Finally a boot of Ensemble Zeitkratzer covering Lou Reed's MMM.

Really, Youn? How funny. I caught some of Valley Girl on cable but there were commericals so I didn't watch the whole thing. I hadn't realized that Nic Cage was the star. I then got the DVD on Netflix and have re-fallen in love with the movie and the soundtrack. I ended up going for the debut Scritti because all of the other Scrittis weren't enough money, except for the newest one, but they kept trying to sell me the import, which was too much money. Of course, right after I made that purchace I realized I should have gotten the new Pet Shop Boys album to go with my $100 PSB concert ticket. You can never go wrong with France Gall. I have one with this cover in my car http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00005K3GU/sr=8-5/qid=1154190042/ref=pd_bbs_5/102-7413757-5859345?ie=UTF8 but I can't imagine I paid that much for it.

Lots from Charles Ives -- 'the unaswered question', 'the first orchestral set', the first two str quartets. But apart from the 'Universal Symphony' which is an atypical, late/unfinished work I'm not quite there yet.

String trios from both Brian Ferneyhough and Schoenberg. Been playing the former's ensemble works -- 'incipts', especially, is brilliant.

ONE MORE SHOT! FINGER ON THE TRI-GGERRR!!!

(Why was this not a hit? Haven't heard it since my then-girlfriend impulse-purchased a bargain bin cassette copy back in '94. Anyway...)

:) And yes, why wasn't this at least a major club hit? Same goes for the title track, "Dark One's An Angel", and "Satellite Sinner". I find it interesting that Space Monkey were one of those "bands in name only" that were actually just one musician doing their thing under the guise of a group-like name. Trees were like that (Dane Conover represent!), and Paul Goodchild certainly was good as Space Monkey.

I am currently addicted to/overplaying:

Heaven 17, How Men Are
Nik Kershaw, Human Racing (skipping past "Wouldn't It Be Good")

I need serious help pulling away from both albums before I get absolutely fed up with hearing them for one minute more. (Um, recommendations?) Thank you, Kim, for getting the Nik Kershaw ball rolling.

I guess my problem w/'Pulcinella' is that its not my thing - wish I could be more specific than that. Strav ws Radio 3's composer of the week (last week now). I quite liked 'Symphony of Psalms' from the couple of programmes I got round to listening. I'll probably try 'Agon' someday soon.

Last night Liza Lim's excellent 'The heart's ear'. Took a while to find anything to hook into but re-listening does pay off.

Jean Barraque - Concerto for six formations of 12 instruments, is my translation of the title. Really ws quite a genius composer, his works strike this balance between how harsh-at-first but also how fun serialism-blah music could be; there is quite a lot to these interplays.

Anyone who loves Webern should really pick up on him.

Works by Bent Sorensen - another excellent discovery.

Jurg Frey's 'string quartet' (google ANAblog and you shall get). All shades of white, very nicely ties into plenty of visual art (Agnes Martin) (good to look while listening, it makes sense to).

Sarai's 'Ladies' yeah I'm over two years late but a great song is a great song. Those horns are so rough, and love her delivery, too.
