Then I saw the Congo, creeping through the black

February 26, 2012

As part of my musings today I consider a photograph I took on Friday of a Lego Giraffe in Berlin. All of us like to think we’re seeing something special on our travels overseas, but with the internet and digital cameras and everyone immersed in a rising tide of instantly-available images, I find some...

Towers of Silence / Identity is Death

February 25, 2012

A couple of items from the Israel label Heart & Crossbone, which has for some years now been feeding me with mind-blasting examples of obscure extreme metal music in many mutant forms. This record by Eric Lunde is not in that genre, but is more like abrasive electronic art music from this Milwaukee industrial...

February 19, 2012

Archipel Électronique Vol 1 (D’AUTRES CORDES DAC 2010) is a compilation of contemporary French electronic music put together by Franck Vigroux for his own label and showcasing friends, collaborators and label-mates – in fact two tracks here have been lifted from previous DACs. It might be an indicator of the strength of the D’Autres...

Flotsam and Jetsam

February 18, 2012

Cold Cuts While we’re enjoying something of a Ghédalia Tazartès bonanza, seems the right time to mention this LP Repas Froid (PAN 17) which I’ve had lurking in the Summer 2011 bag for a while now. Unlike the recent Superdisque, Repas Froid does not feature the uncanny singing voice of M. Tazartès but is...

The Grand Erector: Irregulare Palpitationen – S/T Remixes

The Grand Erector, “Irregulare Palpitationen: S/T Remixes”, Barbelo Records, BarbeloCD2008 (2010) If you don’t mind the double-entendres in the artist name and album title, this recording of remixes of S/T songs by Andy Wilson aka The Grand Erector is quite a mind-spinning, party-going doozy. The entire disc is dominated by two very long remixes...

Quando Quandary

February 12, 2012

Superdisque (SUB ROSA SR321) was sent to us in November, an uncanny record made by three towering personalities in Paris and musically occupying a twilight area which somehow includes improvisation, jazz, rock, folk, African and Tibetan music, poetry, pop, sound poetry, and much more. With this release, the strange world of Ghédalia Tazartès is...
