i buy a new cd every weekedend. This weekend it was sick of it all-call to arms

CAss (CAss), Friday, 7 May 2004 22:07 (twenty-one years ago)

There is no real record store in my small No. California town. I have to order everything I really want or drive two hours to the closest decent indie store. The general store here has a small selection of classic rock so if I'm desperate I'll cop a few of those. To wit:
Pink Floyd "Echoes"
Rolling Stones "Sticky Fingers" (still have the original zipper LP my parents bought, all scratchy tho)
CCR "Willy and the Poor Boys"
Led Zep "Houses of the Holy"(2nd time I bought this)
Loudon Wainwright III "History"

AaronHz (AaronHz), Friday, 7 May 2004 22:17 (twenty-one years ago)

good. they dont suck it depends on your taste

CAss (CAss), Friday, 7 May 2004 22:22 (twenty-one years ago)

No, they suck. There is relative music preference and then there is music that sucks.

GET TO THA' (PRICE) CHOPPA!!!!!!!! ROFFLE!!!!!!!! (ex machina), Friday, 7 May 2004 22:24 (twenty-one years ago)

Wait, I bought Pink Floyd "Relics", not "Echoes", duh.

I do download occasionally but I'm stuck with slow dial up speed up here. Took two hours to download !!! "Me and Giuliani Down by the Schoolyard (a true story)"

I could get a satellite for high speed but I heard those suck.

It's hell. I used to live two blocks away from the best used CD store in the county. Then rent prices went up there and I had to move to a cheaper county which has only high priced lame-o record stores. Oh well, it's temporary. If I was rich I'd live within walking distance of Amoeba in SF. But, alas....

Trout Mask Replica. I listened to that so many times it now sounds as comfy as a Beatles record to me. Everything in its right place. Only took about 500 spins.

AaronHz (AaronHz), Friday, 7 May 2004 23:00 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm not really sure how I'm supposed to listen to it yet, honestly.

stephen morris (stephen morris), Friday, 7 May 2004 23:10 (twenty-one years ago)

At first the best course of action would be not to pay too much attention to it and let it sink in. Read the lyric sheet a few times. Definitely don't try to do anything that requires a lot of concentration while it's on at first. It's a good sex record if you have a weird enough girlfriend. Kurt and Courtney used to fuck to it all the time (according to her). Eventually it all comes together brilliantly like those stupid digital art things you have to stare at all crosseyed to see the picture.

AaronHz (AaronHz), Friday, 7 May 2004 23:11 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh, I'd love to hear Violator for the first time again. lucky.

Auburn Lull, Alone I Admire
The Coctails, s/t
Morrissey, Vauxhall and I
Some Girls, Feel It

I've been cash strapped, and these are the only one I've picked up in a couple months. Not so hot on the Coctails yet, but the others are lovely.

Another story about Trout Mask was that PJ Harvey's mom used to put it on at dinner all the time. So there you have it. Play it at dinner time and maybe your kids will grow up to right the next Sheela Na Gig.

Right=write. Right? Right.

AaronHz (AaronHz), Friday, 7 May 2004 23:17 (twenty-one years ago)

My serious answer - listen to "Moonlight on Vermont" first. That's probably the easiest song to settle into. You can tap your foot to it. Concentrate on one instrument at a time. Check out that awesome guitar tone. Real sharp, biting. Listen to how the guitar line and Beefheart's vocal play each off each other; it's like they're having a conversation. You'll want to sing about that old time religion before you know it.

Broheems (diamond), Friday, 7 May 2004 23:18 (twenty-one years ago)

Veteran's Day Poppy is also relatively accessible. And the Acapella songs like "The Dust Blows..." and "Orange Claw Hammer". Gotta represent for "The Blimp(mousetraprelica)" "TITS TITS THE BLIMP THE BLIMP THE MOTHERSHIP THE MOTHERSHIP" -classic.

AaronHz (AaronHz), Friday, 7 May 2004 23:23 (twenty-one years ago)

THE DRAZY HOOPS WHIR!...I guess you have to have a fly's eye to see it. I have to put this record on RIGHT NOW.

AaronHz (AaronHz), Friday, 7 May 2004 23:27 (twenty-one years ago)

its not bad music! i like it

CAss (CAss), Saturday, 8 May 2004 09:16 (twenty-one years ago)

Magnetic Fields - i (nowhere as good as it could be)
Patterson Hood - Killers & Stars (nowhere as good as it could be, but its a reissue of a 2001 album he made in his kitchen so I should've guessed)
French Kicks - The Trial Of The Century (I couldn't give a shit what they're saying but I definitely like the grooves)
Camper Van Beethoven - Camper Van Beethoven (a much more tolerable way to get to hear Lowery's voice than Cracker - though I would have preferred Cracker back in middle school)
Trouble Everyday - Days Vs. Nights (this band just played in town last night after a UK tour. Nobody cared but its the best band we've had in town in ages. They're sort of like Les Savy Fav with more straightforward chanting lyrics. Possibly one of my favorite albums of the year.)

Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Sunday, 9 May 2004 08:31 (twenty-one years ago)

i love the way we note which things were on sale, as though we need to justify lavish expenditures to each other.

jim you are certifiably insane.

Broheems (diamond), Monday, 10 May 2004 03:28 (twenty-one years ago)

does it help my case at all if i point out that most of it was super cheap or on sale? thought not. and to think my plan for the year was to spend *less* on music

the 'surface' 'noise' (electricsound), Monday, 10 May 2004 03:43 (twenty-one years ago)

I haven't bought anything much in the last month or two (been very poor, downloading HEAPS, blah.). Elephant Man's "Jook Gal" 12", David Axelrod's "Songs of Experience", an Australian release Nancy Sinatra best-of ("Lightning's Girl"), the Kanye album and that's about it.


p.s. fucking hell, Jim.
p.p.s. is the My Disco 7-inch any good?
p.p.p.s. do you ever shop at Melbourne Music Exchange in Richmond? I'm there most weekends now, we've probably got some stuff you'd be into.

OCP (OCP), Monday, 10 May 2004 03:44 (twenty-one years ago)

You work there OCP? I've been in there quite a few times - lots of second-hand microhouse 12inches I noticed.

Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Monday, 10 May 2004 03:47 (twenty-one years ago)

haven't heard it yet (need new needle for turntable0 but coolsies in the know seem to think it kicks seven shades of ass so we'll see. i've been there a few times, got some nice stuff there actually (including a first pressing of Buckingham Nicks!), might pop down again soon

yeah, I'm generally there on Saturdays but sometimes on Sunday instead.

lots of second-hand microhouse I noticed.

we seem to get quite a few Kompakt duds! (and the Total 4 2lp has been sitting on the rack for $20 for months and months now.)

OCP (OCP), Monday, 10 May 2004 03:54 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah I considered picking that up but at the last minute the size of my bank balance flashed in front of my eyes and I resisted the urge.

Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Monday, 10 May 2004 03:55 (twenty-one years ago)

I should be more adventurous.. but stuff was on sale.
Tori Amos, "From the Choirgirl Hotel"
Mary J Blige "Mary"
Thrill Kill Kult "Kooler Than Jesus"

Next to buy are the Wax Trax! Black Box, Les Savy Fav, Erase Errata, and some good rai and dancehall comps...

Oh, and craziness - somebody mentioned an album by Atau! he used to be my housemate!

broheems, dinosaur l has been reissued??? details pls.

mullygrubber (gaz), Monday, 10 May 2004 04:26 (twenty-one years ago)

Apparently so! I bought it at DustyGroove here in Chicago. But it's LP only. So, um, the "legitimacy" of this particular reissue might be suspect. DustyGroove seems to receive a lot of these type of things from time to time. They are always high quality though, so honestly, I'm unsure of their provenance. Maybe it's totally legit!

I am, however, embarassed to admit that I haven't even listened to it yet, despite buying it a week ago. I have a big pile of unsleeved LPs sitting on top of the turntable that I need to clean and store first. And I've been avoiding that task.

Broheems (diamond), Monday, 10 May 2004 04:36 (twenty-one years ago)

i avoid looking at the dustygroove website. too much enticing stuff! but yeah, looks like lp only :-(

I got blue by *Joni*, Parade by Prince (YUS! on vinyl 2 replace my scratched up CD) - only 3 pounds each from the lovely mixed up records. oh and 2 other 50p bargains from that shop, probably regarded as unacceptable to most people - a 1985 Luther Vandross album and Elton John's greatest hits from the 70's (U know the one with him with big glasses on the cover, only 10 songs) - which is surprisingly pleasing.

Robbie Lumsden (Wallace Stevens HQ), Monday, 10 May 2004 11:44 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm assuming the Vandross album you got is The Night I Fell In Love - awesomely good record. "The Other Side Of The World" is deathly gorgeous.

Marcello Carlin, Monday, 10 May 2004 11:49 (twenty-one years ago)

I just moved into a new apartment, so all my old CDs sound new (or at least, that's what I'm trying to convince myself to believe). The good news is that my arm-chairs are now across from my boom-box. The bad news is that the very high ceiling seems to suck up all the sound.

Rockist Scientist, Monday, 10 May 2004 13:16 (twenty-one years ago)

Yes, having VERY high ceilings myself, I've been wondering for a while if music sounded more hollow because of that.

I bought the new Six Organs of Admittance cd reissue of "Music For Octavio Paz" and it might be Ben's best release yet. I got it from him at his show on Thursday night at the Brick in Kansas City. His set was utterly amazing. He was on fire (no pun intended) and would string together five or six songs in long takes without stopping, modulating keys like nobodies business, and then suddenly stooping in front of the amp (acoustic electric, natch) and generating some beautiful feedback. One of my friends was literally in tears. I was almost moved to them myself.

They are great live!! I actually think girls would be more comfortable with the t shirt, I don't know. I've read one bad review and one good. The album is good. I'm just thinking girls would like it more. That's just what I'm getting from it. I'm like, addicted to the album and a single that's supposed to be and EP, but you don't get all the songs on the American version.

See them live if you can. They are good. I got the album on sale for $10 at Tower Records.

Mamborama: Entre la Habana y el Yuma

Too jazzy, too Latin jazzy, too smooth Latin jazzy for me, I think.

Ricardo Lemvo & Makina Loca: Ay Valeria!

Okay mix of merengue, bachata, salsa, Afro-pop, soca (I think), and so forth.

I have not listened closely (or even close to closely) to any one of these though.

Rockist Scientist, Thursday, 13 May 2004 17:20 (twenty-one years ago)

willem (willem), Friday, 14 May 2004 20:58 (twenty-one years ago)

The Marble Index in blue! What a nice concept.

Sadly, The Marble Index remains for me one of the most difficult of the early Nico albums, along with The End, (I'd prefer "Desert Shore")but the song "Frozen Warnings" pulls me in over and over. Even John Cale's version of the song at the end of the Nico:Icon documentary is great. Also, the sleeve of the Marble Index is cool front and back.

sundar subramanian (sundar), Sunday, 16 May 2004 02:02 (twenty-one years ago)

I haven't heard the 12-inch version but this one is pretty short, at 3:22, and has "Need a Man Blue" on the flip.

Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Sunday, 16 May 2004 02:06 (twenty-one years ago)

And I took the Wobble off after about 1 minute because it hit me in the wrong place tonight...we were in an irritated mood and it didn't help. AMG also gives it a real pan, but we'll see. I remember liking it okay when they used to play it on Nightlines a long time ago.

(Felonious, I don't have any way to copy CDs, not even a decent tape-recorder.)

Susie Ibarra: Folklorico

"How is it?" It's pretty good, although I was expecting to like it more. Had hoped it would be somewhat more accessible. There is one purely percussive track that lasts about ten minutes, which is easy to get into. The main piece (or suite) "Lakbay" stays pretty close to the style of Songbird Suite, minus the laptop electronics, and with some additional rhythmic, gong-oriented, percussion passages (similar to the first piece on this CD) as well as moments of more lyrical, traditional-sounding, Asian (presumably Filipino) melody. The overall approach, though, is closer to modern classical chamber music than anything else.

sundar, I think you will like it.

Various Artists: Champeta Criolla Vol. 2 - Visionary Black Music From Underground Colombiafrica

This didn't excite me too much. It basically sounds like Colombians doing soukous and highlife. I thought there would be something more identifiably Afro-Colombian about it (maybe some folkloric percussion that developed there). I don't like Afro-pop all that much to begin with though. Those of you who do might find this an interesting change of pace. Also, you are more likely to hear what makes it different from African Afro-pop than I am if you are more familiar with Afro-pop. My favorite track was one that mixed some cumbia flavor in. Also, I liked the sound system DJ chatter (etc.) and between cuts. Nice package, but musically nothing much to excite me.

(Oh.)

Oh my god! The beginning of the first song on this Nazem al-Ghazali CD is amazing. I know this song from somewhere, but I still haven't figured out where. (Definitely not this performance.) It may be a folk song.

Nazem al-Ghazali was Iraq's most prominent popular singer (since the beginning of recorded music, I think).

Sheikh Ahmad Al-Tuni

This guy goes into a deep, slightly demonic sounding, voice occasionally. The closest thing to Capt. Beefheart that I have heard in Arabic music, I think. He also does kind of funny rhythmic nonsense things. Maybe he's possessed.

Ooleya Mint Amartichitt: Praise Songs
Various Artists: Starry Nights in Western Sahara*
Abyssinia Infinite: Zion Roots
Various [compiled by Deben Bhattacharya]: Maqams of Syria

*Now playing. Parts of it are rather beautiful. To me it sounds more or less exactly like the Mauritanian music that I've heard (well, with maybe a few surprises like that little Bedouin-like yell they just did). But unlike the other recordings I've heard, this one doesn't have one central singer in the foreground. It has a really collective feeling that works well. Lots of rhythmic group clapping. The liner notes are nicely done. The CD is quite open about the participants' hopes that it will raise awareness about the political situation in Western Sahara (which I have to admit I know next to nothing about).

billstevejim, Friday, 28 May 2004 22:23 (twenty-one years ago)

Ooleya Mint Amartichitt & crew perform a style very similar to what Dimi Mint Aba & crew perform, as I expected. Somehow the Mint Amartichitt CD is a little more accessible. It might be that most of the songs I've heard so far seem to make a little more use of the likeable rhythmic aspects of Mauritanian music than what I remember of my Mint Aba CDs. (Lots of hand-clapping again.) Beautiful liner notes (visually--I haven't actually read anything).

The Syrian CD is also quite nice. Closer to home for me. Actually, I recognized one of the songs, though I didn't know exactly where I knew it from.

Rockist Scientist (rockistscientist), Friday, 28 May 2004 22:36 (twenty-one years ago)

There is definitely something I find more enjoyable about this Mint Amartichitt than the Mint Aba recordings I've heard. (I saw her perform live and that's a whole other matter. In a live setting is very easy to be drawn into her music.) Yet there aren't any elements that seem to be obvious attempts at a crossover audience. The liner notes are all about 11th century African empires and the like, and leave me feeling pretty ignorant.

These are mostly your standard 50's-60's party record fare, but whoever owned them didn't party too hard, cuz they are really clean. Which is why I picked them up. If they had looked beat on, I wouldn't have bothered with a bunch of them. Even for 15 bucks. (well, i wouldn't have bothered with the Brubecks and the ellas and the ray charles records anyway.)

(I'm getting around to giving some of these newly bought CDs another listen. Bhagdadiyat is a lot quieter than the AlGhazali collection, but it's really very good. Very strong rhythmically. Even though the Mauritanian sound isn't totally appealing to me, Praise Songs is remarkably good. I think people who like Diamanda Galas or Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan would probably like this music. I find it far more varied than the two Dimi Mint Aba CDs I have.)

Rockist Scientist (rockistscientist), Monday, 31 May 2004 00:16 (twenty-one years ago)

Rockist, do you ever hit the Indian stores in West Philly for cheap tapes and cds. I never left those places without 10 or 15 tapes. I would pick them at random. End up with great Bhangra, classical, soundtracks, ragas, etc that I knew nothing about (except for people like Nusrat) and always discover some real gems.

scott seward (scott seward), Monday, 31 May 2004 00:33 (twenty-one years ago)

scott, I know the stores you mean, but there's not a whole lot of Indian music that I like. I have a few things I've tape off the radio here and there (and I tend to like the Indian music I hear Sikh cab drivers playing), but I like a really small percentage of the Indian music I've heard. It's just a blind-spot for me.

(Cheap cassettes and some helpful guidance are what gave me a quick orientation to Arabic music.)

Dr. Annabel Lies (Michael Kelly), Monday, 31 May 2004 06:28 (twenty-one years ago)

tim i ws just discussing this with plum d today! i ws really excited to find all those cds including world domination at my favourite junk shop and finally pay a reasonable, (even good!), price for a 666 mafia cd. so the answer is that i have not bought da unbreakables - i've held it in my hand in hmv examining its $$$ price tag with an anguished look on my face more than once tho. p says its really good, better than world domination and i kind of wish i'd got it instead of the expensive jeans i bought today. i really love my mp3s of 'ghetto chick' and 'rainbow colors'.

jeremy jordan (cruisy), Monday, 31 May 2004 12:17 (twenty-one years ago)

Ha ha I have done the *exact* *same* *thing*.

Jeans are always justified. Yeah I love "Rainbow Colours" too.

What is your favourite junk shop?

They have a David Banner Big Face Entertainment comp at JBs for cheap, should I get it do you reckon?

Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Monday, 31 May 2004 23:09 (twenty-one years ago)

tim, you shd definitely buy that david banner comp, it has the amazing eurythmics song d banner did with lil flip on it, and i really love the song with jagged edge too! theres also a freestyle with bun b where they keep laughing at eachothers jokes, its great.

i dont know what its called but the junk shop is in smith st collingwood right next door to the old toy museum and its open on sunday nights!

"i dont know what its called but the junk shop is in smith st collingwood right next door to the old toy museum and its open on sunday nights! "

Yeah I know that one I think - it's kind of totally open at the front like a garage right? I loved it when I lived around the corner from there (also the Cash Converters half-price CDs on Sundays was brill too)

"haha btw tim i'd bet youd love my mix where i fade rainbow colours into thomas fehlmann - rainbow over stadtautobahn!"

I really like when Mark E Smith's cracks his voice purposefully and he seems to do it more on this Perverted By Language LP.

At the same time I don't know if I want to become one of these Fall dudes.

christhamrin (christhamrin), Tuesday, 1 June 2004 06:28 (twenty-one years ago)

Trammps, 'The Legendary "Zoom" Album' or something like that . . . their Buddah stuff. Looking forward to playing it lots.
Added 'Collector's Items' to my Miles stash, my biggest single artist collection.
Richard Berry, 'Have "Louie" Will Travel': I love Ace Records (UK)compilations. They rarely seem to hit the five-star mark for me, but they're always pretty great.
'DNA on DNA.' Waiting to play this until my downstairs neighbor goes to work tomorrow.
'Sing Hollies in Reverse' tribute with Posies, Tommy Keene, etc.
Snow Patrol for $7.99. My ex recommends it. Haven't played it yet; it may wind up in her collection.

Rickey Wright (Rrrickey), Tuesday, 1 June 2004 06:37 (twenty-one years ago)

$5 prize to the next person who buys/acquires/receives/steals 'Cheap Trick at Budokan' and acknowledges the fact that THERE'S NO "LIVE" IN THE TITLE, GODDAMN IT!

Rickey Wright (Rrrickey), Tuesday, 1 June 2004 06:51 (twenty-one years ago)

Trammps sound like they were mastered from a cassette. It rules anyway. It's the Collectables reissue of the "Zing" (not "Zoom") album, of course, titled after their disco take on the Coasters' remake of the old standard.

Rickey Wright (Rrrickey), Tuesday, 1 June 2004 07:11 (twenty-one years ago)

Picked this up cheap at the weekend:

Earle Brown/ John Cage/ Morton Feldman/ Christian Wolff - New York School 2

Pieces for piano/flute/percussion and combinations thereof plus one tape piece by Earle Brown (from 1952!) Got to listen to this a bit more but all sounds pretty fine so far!

Dr. Annabel Lies (Michael Kelly), Friday, 4 June 2004 07:24 (twenty-one years ago)

Various: Capitol Sings George Gershwin: Fascinatin' Rhythm

A very mixed bag. Some of these singers don't do much for me. I might try George & Ira Gershwin in Hollywood.

Willie Nelson: Crazy: Demo Sessions

"Crazy" is great, but there are some other songs here that I like as well on first listen. If I am going to explore country at all, I think I'm going to do it very slowly. But anyway, the stripped down sound here is definitely more appealing to me than the heavy string/chorus sound that apparently showed up on the finished products. I wish I could find Patsy Cline in a setting like this.

Rockist Scientist, Friday, 4 June 2004 12:41 (twenty-one years ago)

Jeri Southern's version of "Nice Work if You Can Get It" from that Gerswhin comp is my fave.

dleone (dleone), Friday, 4 June 2004 12:46 (twenty-one years ago)

gone a bit weird this week. found Amen's 'We have come form your PArents' album and found that being spun a LOT more than it really should, and today plumped for Coal Chambers 'Dark Days' .. £1.99 and £2.99 respectively, then there was the anticon comp, Oxide and Neutrino 1st lp with bonus disc (99p!), and the last SFA album (not the remix album) in LTD packaging - £2.99 ! tons of them @ V.Megabores

clearance sale madness. but against my better judgement i am enjoying the Coal Chamber album an awful lot. i fear for my sanity.

mark e (mark e), Friday, 4 June 2004 12:50 (twenty-one years ago)

I liked that one, dleone. I still haven't listened to the whole thing, to be honest. It's very rare that it happens, but I've bought so many CDs lately that I am having trouble listening to them all.

Various: The Finest Mawawel from Iraq

Last night I remembered that I hadn't gotten to this yet. It's pretty good. One track in particular has some very distinctive electric organ playing of the sort that seems to show up more often on my barely audible cassettes than on any CDs. I don't know any of these singers, except one (Saleh Abdel Gafor).

On the down side, it's a little odd to listen to one mawawel after another (even though it's not uncommon for such collections to be released). Normally the mawawel, which is a type of vocal improvisation (on an existing text) unconstrained by any regular rhythm, leads into a more straightforward song section. Listening to some of these mawawel, I was a little frustrated at time when the track stops before the song picks up. Nevertheless, this is pretty nice material. (The CD itself looks pretty dodgy. I think it might be an unlicensed release put together by someone in the U.S., but I'm not sure.)

Rockist Scientist, Saturday, 5 June 2004 14:55 (twenty-one years ago)

This seems to be the year I dig more deeply into Iraqi music. I tend to prefer Iraqi recordings that fall between the extremes of their classical music (which can be too rarified for me) and their poppiest pop music (most of which I find to be an incomprehensible jumble, at least starting at some point in the 80's).

My replacement for the problem copy of El Gran Combo's Salsa Classics Revisited arrived today.

Rockist Scientist, Tuesday, 8 June 2004 23:36 (twenty-one years ago)

After all that, it's not all that great. I'll definitely take the originals, although a couple of these remixes might be--in fact, already have been, I think--enjoyable to me when I am in a club setting. The best ones are remixed by Baron Lopez who seems to be the main DJ who can pull of a salsa remix that adds something, without losing a distinctive salsa feel. (There must be others I don't know the names of.) Also, thanks to this collection, I have discovered yet more songs I knew and liked without having realized they were by El Gran Combo.

How are Prism and Electric Masada?

Apparently Bill Ware was associated with Steely Dan! A nice review all the same.

I bought the David Behrman wave train 2LP set on algha marghen, with many of his works from the end of late 50s/60s.

And finally Lol coxhill's 'the bald soprano' cassete*

David Sylvian -- Blemish

...and The Day Today DVD. :-)

Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 13 June 2004 17:27 (twenty-one years ago)

Pure Cult on used CD. It's unsurprisingly disappointing in its entirety but I'm very happy to be able to play "Fire Woman" any time I damn well please.

Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Sunday, 13 June 2004 17:41 (twenty-one years ago)

Sun Ra: Nuits de la Fondation Maeght, Vols. 1 & 2
Mephista: Entomological Reflections

I probably should have bought a Mamas & the Papas collection instead (since that's been kicking around in my head lately, and I keep running across reminders), but I wanted to get that Sun Ra recording before it disappears again. (I'm not certain it will become hard to find, but it seems possible.) And then I impulsively bought the Mephista--I'm not sure why exactly.

Not that I dislike either. I wasn't paying that much attention to Mephista when I listened to it, but every once in a while things would get really interesting and draw me in. (Mephista consists of Ikue Mori, Susie Ibarra, and Sylvie Courvoisier.)

Rockist Scientist, Monday, 14 June 2004 12:44 (twenty-one years ago)

How are Prism and Electric Masada?

Ok, based on my somewhat cursory first listens, I'd rate them as follows:

Prism - four stars - Pretty much exactly what I was hoping for when I bought this CD. Wild and woolly improvised piano trio the way only Matt Shipp and William Parker can do it. Goes places you wouldn't expect it to go.

Electric Masada - three stars - Unerringly professional, musical, and adventurous - and yet I can't shake a faint sense of clinical ennui. You get the feeling you're not really hearing anything that you haven't heard from Zorn before in one shape or form.

Also picked up these recently:
Beastie Boys - To the Five Boroughs
A.C. Newman - The Slow Wonder
Public Enemy - It Takes a Nation of Millions...
David Bowie - Diamond Dogs

dlp9001, Monday, 21 June 2004 21:39 (twenty-one years ago)

David Murray & the Gwo-Ka Masters: Gwotet

Why did I rush into buying this so quickly? This sounds too much like regular jazz to me, even though there is a lot of skronking. (This isn't the kind of skronking I like.) The best part is probably the tight unison hornwork and some of the African (-sounding) drumming. Even so, the primary, upfront, rhythm on a lot of these tracks doesn't thrill me. I find it kind of boring overall.

two weeks pass...
Neil Young: Decade. (Finally.)
John Fahey: Red Cross. (I really like this.)
Kudsi Erguner w/ various sheikhs: Gazel: Classical Sufi Music of the Ottoman Empire. (Out of print, but readily available from half.com. Hardly any rhythmic variation from song to song, but good performances, though probably lacking in mass appeal. The vocal style definitely sounds more Arabic than Turkish to me, which is a good thing (to me).)

Rockist Scientist, Friday, 16 July 2004 12:12 (twenty-one years ago)

i was a little disappointed by red cross, rockist... i think i should devote a little more time to it.

as for me,

acid mothers temple: in c
nico: the end (one of my favorite things ive heard all year)
ikue mori: labyrinth
amon düül: para dies warts düül
black dice: beaches & canyons
devendra banhart - oh me oh my...

also, i DLed todd rundgren - a wizard, a true star - thats a psychedelic freakout of an album...

peter smith (plsmith), Friday, 16 July 2004 12:43 (twenty-one years ago)

peter smith, have you followed Fahey closely? I haven't at all, so that may have something to do with it. I remember listening to somewhat folkish sounding Fahey records back in the mid-80's and liking them; and then not thinking much about him until he reappeared several years back with quasi-industrial sounding things. It's not the only thing I like about the album, but I really simply like the sound of his guitar.

Jaga Jazzist, 'Day EP' (maybe I don't love this, but the title track and the Herbert remix are great)

Jordan (Jordan), Friday, 16 July 2004 12:57 (twenty-one years ago)

yeah - i agree, and i totally wanted this to be my entre into the world of john fahey - my dad liked him, and i live like 10 minutes from his home town, takoma park. i guess i like his more active raga stuff than this more ambient stuff. i bet ill grow to appreciate red cross, it just wasnt what i expected.

his guitar DOES sound great.

hey, besides fahey and derek bailey, whos done creative acoustic guitar stuff? i like some early leo kottke, but thats just basically reinterpreted fahey... anybody? truthfully, i dont even know where to begin with d.bailey... i was similarly disappointed by ballads - just wasnt the entre i was looking for into his work.

peter smith (plsmith), Friday, 16 July 2004 12:58 (twenty-one years ago)

I like some of Hans Reichel's work. I think a lot of it is drifting into out of print status, but it will probably come around again. I have the 2-fer Death of the Rare Bird Ymir/Bonobo Beach. I like Bonobo Beach a lot, but not the first album. (Most people here who have commented like Rare Bird more.) Death of the Rare Bird Ymir is more rhythmically oriented, I guess, maybe less ambient than Bonobo Beach. At least if you buy this CD, you'd be getting two fairly different albums by Reichel. I also have Angel Carver w/ Tom Cora, which I like some of the time. It took me a while to get into that however. It's pretty disjunctive--they jump from one thing to another a lot--but after several listens it started making sense. Also, the variety of sounds they come up with is kind of comic. They might momentarily sound like 80's King Crimson, and then a little later sound like trance music from Balouchistan, etc.

I like some Fred Frith, as well (another usual suspect). For purely solo acoustic work, I think I like Clearing best. It alternates between ambient things, repetitive minimalist things, and slightly more song-like pieces ("Theatre").

Rockist Scientist, Friday, 16 July 2004 13:10 (twenty-one years ago)

hey, besides fahey and derek bailey, whos done creative acoustic guitar stuff?

This is more in a jazz vein, but the Duck Baker album "Spinning Song: The Music of Herbie Nichols" is pretty great - arrangements of Nichols tunes for solo acoustic guitar.

o. nate (onate), Friday, 16 July 2004 13:23 (twenty-one years ago)

Roland Dyens. My classical guitar geek friends introduced me to him, apparently he's this sort of rebel French classical player who plays a lot of modern, Brazilian, and jazz material. I'm not a guitar-head, but his record pretty much blew me away with how much sound one classical guitar can make.

Julio, what is the name of the Christopher Hobbs piece on this? (I think I have something on tape by him that I like, but it's one of those taped off the radio/not sure if I got the right name with the right piece/things.)

Rockist Scientist (rockistscientist), Saturday, 17 July 2004 13:17 (twenty-one years ago)

OCP- hurrah for getting paid!

rockist- there's two, 'aran' on side one and 'McCrimmon will never return' (essentially a bagpipe duo with gavin bryars, so maybe its by both of them) on side two.

(The CD itself looks pretty dodgy. I think it might be an unlicensed release put together by someone in the U.S., but I'm not sure.)

Yeah, it has CD-R stamped on the disc. Duh. I don't know where this was made, but I'm not going to complain. Presumably the Iraqi recording industry isn't in real good shape at the moment, so if someone (wherever) is putting together decent quality CD-R mixes of good Iraqi material, I'm willing to pay for it.

Rockist Scientist, Wednesday, 21 July 2004 03:09 (twenty-one years ago)

Conjunto Guaguanco Matancero: Guaguanco--Con Papin Y Sus Rumberos: Guaguanco.

Conjunto Guaguanco Matancero is the beginning of the Afro-Cuban rumba group that later became Los Muñequitos de Matanzas, and the other group on the CD is now known as Los Papines. I'm still very new to rumba, but anyway, I like this.

Kako y Azuquita: Union Dinamica. This is pretty good. Unfortunately, the sound is incredibly bad (due to a flaw in the CD or remastering, not the original, I'm sure) on one of the best songs, "Guaguanco Soberano." I also find the bomba (and Kako is supposed to be especially good in that sort of context!) kind of draggy and could do without the merengue cut. I love Puerto Rican salsa, but the folkloric plena and bomba just doesn't hold my attention for very long.

Joe Cuba Sextette: Diggin' the Most. The Cheo Feliciano songs here are just about uniformly great, but that's what I expected based on everything I've heard that these two have collaborated on. I hadn't heard his take on "Oye Como Va" before, and it's very good. He does fast guaguancos, he does boleros. The English language songs sung by Jimmy Sabatier are less impressive and more kitsch sounding at this point. The audio quality is decent (compared to other Latin music reissues from the 60's).

Hector Lavoe: The Fania "Legends Of Salsa", Vol. 2.

Good. I think I like the second disc more than the first (and Vol. 1 more than Vol. 2). There's nothing here that I want to skip over, which isn't always true on the full albums. And I'm really happy to finally have a copy of "Juanito Alimaña."

I'm really glad I bought the two Blue Series CDs (by Matthew Shipp and William Parker). The Shipp is easy enough to like, and I am alraedy getting to like the Parker CD more in an overall way. I think initially I wanted it all to sound like the first track. I'm glad a got this one and not something too far out or too far in for me.

Oum Kalthoum:

Nahj El Borda (live)
National Songs (parts one and three; two was inexplicably unlisted)
Hagartak (This is famous and important, but I forget why)

Rockist_Scientist (rockist_scientist), Friday, 30 July 2004 21:47 (twenty-one years ago)

Last few things I bought were

Fennesz - Venice
Mephista - Entomological Reflection (review forthcoming, RS)
So (Can't get over how good this is)
Oren Ambarchi - Grapes from the estate

And, for class, the 8-CD Norton Recordings (Gregorian Chant to the present)

Last thing I burnt off the library was L Subramanian - En Concert (Ocora, 1985), which may be the best Karnatak disc I've ever heard.

sundar subramanian (sundar), Friday, 30 July 2004 22:05 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't like the style of the songs from National Songs that I've heard so far. I'd still rather hear her singing songs in this style than Warda or Laila Morad or Faiza Ahmad. I don't think the style of the songs on National Songs is a result of the propagandistic content, since the other songs I've heard in this style have mostly been love songs; although it is possible that this style was developed for the nationalistic/Pan-Arab/Muslim Socialist songs and then carried over into the rest of Egyptian popular music.

x-post, I look forward to your comments, but I'm not putting pressure on you.

(Oh, this song is better. Probably from the 40s or closer to.)

Wonder if you would consider selling or trading the Jeff&Jane Hudson 7"? Does it come with a sleeve?

Nils Inge Graven, Wednesday, 8 March 2006 16:11 (nineteen years ago)

one month passes...
a shockingly successful trip to camden mve yesterday:

heat sensor - touch ep
asa-chang and junray - hana
joakim - fantomes
dorau/kohncke - durch die nacht
si-{cut}.db vs scanner - bovine revolver ep
venetian snares vs bong-ra - 4 adaptations of rossz csillag alatt szuletett
black dice - smiling off

most prized being the joakim lp, which i didn't even know existed. first listen indicates that it's typically stunning. outside of ewan pearson, where is the love for this chap?
