Haven't heard this yet but was well pleased with "Sweet Dreams..." - looking fwd to hearing the new one. Tim, all the Moonbootica I know is the monster remix of Luomo's "Tessio" - which I completely love - where should I go from there?

Marcello, am intrigued to know what you made of the other Plush records, "More You Becomes You" and "Found A Little Baby/Three-Quarters Blind Eyes". Someone once described "More You..." to me as 'a whole album's worth of Paul McCartney's "Waterfalls"', which works for me (I am the kind of sap...

I certainly haven't heard of that many UK groups coming from the art-school angle these days - um, do Franz Ferd have some art pedigree? For some reason it wouldn't surprise me - I can't help but feel that art-schools are producing lazier groups these days, certainly nothing like the...

Hah Matt well I am a BIG fan of both "Fed" and "No Other" but am happy to acknowledge that both artists are at their best when not so 'baroque' - cf. Plush's "More You Becomes You" and Gene Clark's "White Light", both of which are stronger than their more florid companions. Though if you have...

Yeah the THUG records are classics - "Electric Woolly Mammoth" and "Blind Idiots Parade" (I think that's what it's called, working from memory here) are both fantastic albums. Also absolutely worth checking out the "Waste Sausage" compilation LP on the Black Eye label if you're after that kind...

Martin Carthy, umm, try the second solo album, w/Dave Swarbrick. And for mid-70s period Carthy, I always really enjoyed "Crown of Horn". I haven't got RIU&SA yet but I'm sure Simon would have mentioned Steeleye Span's "Hark the Village Wait" which is a must-have, ditto its follow-up "Ten Man...

he's looking at his watch, isn't he?

slugfuckers! fungus brains! (slaps forehead) such great stuff. we should add that slugfuckers offshoot rhythmx chymx. (amazing split record with severed heads, i only heard it thanks to the great phil t.) also remember venom p stinger. sekret sekret. minit. david haines. joyce hinterding. stasis...

sorry mate. (note australian colloquialism.) although the gibb brothers were born in england they emigrated to australia at a young age, and started their career here in about 1963 - they released a few australian-only singles and albums before heading back to england in 67 to try their luck. so...

Saw Haneke's 'Code Inconnu' ('Code Unknown') last night - brilliant film - can anyone recommend other films worth seeing by this director? I know of 'The Piano Teacher', and there's a short Haneke series going on at the local cinema I'll be checking out, but any words, advice, thoughts...

how could i forget them? terrific indeed. thanks for pulling me up on that one, dave. well i'm nothing if not drearily predictable.

I forgot about Ivor Cutler, good call that one. What's the story with "Ha! Ha! Funny Polis" - who's it by etc. etc.?? Can't argue with Wales (Manic Street Preachers, 'nuff said) but I won't start on the wealth of amazing stuff from NZ.

i'm not going to take stelfox on re: scotland, suffice to say anyone who knows me knows of my love for scottish music (though the stuff stelfox mentioned is completely crap, true.) australia: umm, okay. extradition. master's apprentices. go-betweens. the scientists. feedtime. hoss. sunset...

Four Manifestations is fantastic. Although "One+Two+Three Fifths in the Rhythm Three Against Two For Bosendorfer Piano" is prob. more about method than outcome it's still an okay listen in that maddening early Steve Reich way. (Later Steve Reich is maddening in an entirely different way...) The...

1. the skaters 'gambling in ohpa's shadow' 2. the wooden cupboard 'boiling the animal in the sky' ecstatic vocal unknown tongue sounds, these folks completely blow my circuits - the heaviest, yet most transcendent shit around, the final track on the wooden cupboard cd is the apex of all home...

Sorry that last post was ill-thought, crap and bonkers, I am waaaay sleep deprived at the moment, get me away from this computer.

I sometimes wonder if it's another misguided grab for (interpellated) 'authenticity' or somesuch - which is clearly misguided as a) folkrock is in itself quite an intensely 'inauthentic' form and b) why does it matter (to anyone other than a bunch of insecure 'tronica bedsit dudes)? Electronica...

r. stevie moore it was good to see some discussion of r. stevie moore in that interview - also check one of the images on the cd cover, our man pink is wearing an r. stevie moore t-shirt - it's a totally apposite reference, if you pick up a record like stevie's "what's the point???" you'll find...

Hmm well I might be totally wrong! But I remembered it from reading through some stuff I printed off the web which documented Xenakis' works & variations. This ISN'T what I printed out but it has much the same info: http://home.wanadoo.nl/eli.ichie/framesx.html ie. under Concret PH it credits...

you need this simon - and $12 does seem rather cheap - I never see Xenakis on vinyl. Yeah - Orient-Occident I was from 1960 whereas III is 1968 - Diamorphoses I is from 1957, II from '68... As far as Bohor goes I know there are 8- and 4-channel tape versions so maybe that's Bohor I/II - not...
