Meredith Monk - Facing North - not merely wintery but positively arctic

some of the sounds in there literally sound like when you ram a pole or something like that into a frozen canal/lake, that hollow oinky sound the ice makes.

The Russians really know about winter

It's a jolly time when old Saint nick is on his way to liberate the gulags

Uncomfortable isn't the right word. They both have an eeriness I find enticing, like seeing a dark wood and part of you wanting to go into it and see what it's like and part of you wanting to stay well away.

It's the same feeling I've talked about when we've discussed "liminal spaces" and when I made that thread about the uncanny. I like vague, unresolved things that suggest something you can't quite grasp, hence why I like writers like DeLillo and Beckett, also those short stories of M. John Harrison's I recently read.

The Infamous is interesting because I think of it as a cold album, but there's that stretch in the middle from 'Give Up the Goods' through to 'Trife Life' which sounds like summer then it dips back into winter with 'Q.U. - Hectic' and stays there for the rest of the album.
