Slum Dunk, 1-2PM on Tuesdays. Some great stuff gets played there, lots of baile funk but not exclusively so. They'll be playing the entire Tropicalia ou Panis et Circenses album on the next show, for example. Don't miss it.

Magma Magma (1970) French jazz drummer Christian Vander and some of Johnny Halliday's hornsmen do brassy Prog rock/opera in a sub-Soft Machine vein, the song titles sound positively Klingonian ("Sckxyss", "Thaud Zaïa"...) Michel Colombier Mr. Freedom OST, Gainsbourg sings the title track...

I guess you'd have to sing it or tap it out on the tabletop, both of which are impossible on an online forum! Maybe do an approximation of drum notation, like an online guitar tab.

Not much help, but... Gong Magick Brother (OK, so only Didier Malherbe is Parisian) Serge Gainsbourg 69: Année érotique (a nice title for a compilation, actually!)

Standard drum kit notation? http://www.insidethemusic.co.uk/aural/drumnotation.html

How was it?

The peerless rhythm section of the Skatalites.

Dunno, there's great stuff in all of these, and I wouldn't want to be without any of it. Is this meant to be as funny as it reads? No offense, but you're right, you don't know too much about this.

As much as their music meant to a very young me... judging from the abominable quality of post-1988 Metallica releases (and after what those greedy bastards did in the anti-Napster lawsuit business, unforgiveable!) that one star rating is spot on, IMHO.

Oh, do be fair. It's called Dissensus for a reason, and there's room for everyone.

It IS very trebly indeed. I dunno, but I think the almost total absence of bass on that record was the very best tribute to the then recently deceased Cliff Burton.

...And Justice For All. Getting this on a shitty cassette at a street stall in Cairo as an impressionable 12 year-old was a real musical epiphany. I was living in East Africa at the time (1988), and music was very hard to come by. Anyone going to the US or Europe would leave with huge wants...

These were lovely, thanks.

I wouldn't be surprised if The Futurist gets better reviews in Metal than in electronica-oriented publications, actually.

This just in. Hope people reach this, reports are very much appreciated. " REBEL BASS 4 (Friday 8th April) Mark One (Virus Syndicate show) (Planet Mu/ Rephlex/Boka) Shelley Parker (Haywire/ N.E.R.D) Plasticman (Terrorhythm/ Rephlex) Slaughter Mob (Soulja/ Rephlex/ Halo) Downshifter (Hyponik/...

Either Schönberg or Schoenberg, not Schöenberg. :)

Got it. That 'no one turned away' business still has me guessing, tho'. Do you have the link to Kudu's website? All I get is stuff about the African kudu (Tragelaphus strepsiceros). What a beautiful creature!

Great, wicked stuff, D. Thanks a lot!

It is indeed. However, you often find umlauts (ä,ö,ü) appearing in their long form (ae,oe,ue), so writing Schoenberg is acceptable, too, if a bit dated. Both are acceptable and correct.

Anyone following this? "As he walked toward the airport entrance, he turned, unzipped his pants and acted like he was going to urinate on the wall. He called Japan's ruling party 'gangsters.'" http://edition.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/europe/03/24/fischer.release.ap/index.html "The former British...
