Re: any good releases lately?



hi list....

just wondering what releases have sparked people's interest lately?
there's been a bit of talk about the Fallt boxed set.. while i have
received mine.. i haven't listened to the whole thing yet.. but i'm
finding it quite enjoyable.. the 15 minute cds are nice little
windows of sound.. not too much.. not too little..

The Fällt 3"CDs are quite lovely. I'm enjoying the more out-of-way composers' work as much as the 'provens'. Aesthecially pleasing set as well (although the Rabelais CD-art is the perfect wrench-in-the-mechanics for the design purist). I hope this series continues, there's a good healthy breathing living exchange between man & machine going on there...

Also interesting (to me) are the following:

Rune Lindblad & Others: RL CD/LP/Book (Firework Edition). A sort of
homage to Lindblad, with a few original vault pieces aside reworkings
by folk like CM Von Hausswolf, Leif Elggren, Kent Tankred, et.al. The
LP is actually a 'dub version' 12" by the unkown-to-me outfit
Brommage Dub . Accompanying book/libretto fills in the gaps.

Oren Ambarchi: Persona 12" (ERS). Still reeling from Oren's set at
Diapason last month, ezxcellent guitar based but not necessarily
guitar sourced sound-set. Chiming bell-tones and drones abound,
lengthy sides for extended alpha-state meditation.

Olivia Block: Mobius Fuse CD (Sedimental). Sort of a slow-motion
conrete. Quite lovely and vivid.

DJ /Rupture: Gold Teeth Thief CD-R (Soot). Novel not only for its'
inclusion of pieces by Mimaroglu, Berio & Zwedberg amidst a hodge
podge of contemporary r&b/hip-hop, breakcore, dancehall, computer
music, and frican music but for making all work. Seemlessly. And not
a hint of the sort of 'I did this for the sake of being quirky &
eclectic'. I get the feeling that this is what Jace listens to in a
week, crystallized into a 67 minute chunk.

Many more of course but those stand out... -Våt
