This just in from Ed the head Hardy, pre-order from Eclipse Records
Ghedalia Tazartes - Granny Awards LP $26.99 (Alga Marghen)
"alga marghen was the first label to issue on CD the 4 record LPs that Ghedalia Tazartes privately produced between the late 1970s and early 1980s, therefore contributing to the diffusion of this music among the new generations. At the same time Ghedalia Tazartes' music defined the high standard level of the alga marghen label in its early days. These great recordings are still available in their original CD editions and no surprise that alga marghen has now the privilege to bring you the pleasure of listening to a previously unpublished LP recently discovered in the artist's archives. Side 1 features 'Ferme ta gueule, Zarathustra' (i.e. 'Shut Up, Zarathustra') a long track constructed by several fragments recorded in the early 1980s that would have later composed, with different editings, some of the best parts of 'Une eclipse totale de soleil'. On side 2 we find five shorter tracks titled 'Whatever', 'Works', 'Singing', 'Wild', 'My Rock Ghedalia'. Recorded in the artist's own studio in his anhydridic Paris, these pieces are based on materials pre-dating Ghedalia Tazartes first LP Diasporas and were re-elaborated in the early 1980s to be included in this lost work of art. Ghedalia Tazartes is a nomad. The author and his doubles work without a net, freely connecting the sounds, the rhythms, his voice, his voices. He is also one of the most original artists in the sonic art scene. In these last years when cheap low-level editions are produced by kitsch-on-demand labels which can nothing but copy, falsificate and propose expensive tasteless boxsets, alga marghen brings you the 'original' edition of this wonderful music. Edition limited to 450 copies."

Comus - amateurist sent me a cdr of their first record years ago. is he still around? these guys are great.

didn't they do some shows a couple years ago?

answering my own q

Comus - C/D?

I remember toying with the idea of going to the boston show but... I didn't

missed the ya ho wha shows too

Listening to Ian's show again... so good!

:) you're a treat.

also, Dais records in brooklyn is reissuing Ghedalia Tazartes "Diasporas" later this year.

Man, there is so much to explore with this list. The input and recommendations from you all have me all excited to explore this further.

apparently 69 just got 2 third ear band records. i'd never listened to them before. listening to a few youtubes and damn, they're pretty great. i think what i'd always wanted incredible string band to sound like

do we get the same mass texts from pete?!??! i thought i was special.

ours were both personalized

Got this a few years ago (judging by the date, pretty much when it came out), assume it's still in print. Was relatively cheap, and is completely brilliant.

http://www.discogs.com/Gh%C3%A9dalia-Tazart%C3%A8s-4CD-Box/release/2628148

I would like that. I just have a few stray tracks (think I got them from Leonardo?) and they are brilliant.
I'd rather start with that than with the 30 dollar lp I posted about upthread.

Diasporas and Tazartes are my faves, both included in that box. Eclipse... I don't like quite as much.

I may just buy that, then. Not now, though. Browsing Forced Exposure right now lol.

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.
