Supposedly 'Onze Danses Pour Combattre La Migraine' paved the way for future releases on the label (according to the linear notes). Coincidently I have been looking for some world fusion-ish music for the last few weeks, but the world umbrella covers a lot of ground so it is quite hard to know where to start. Have you heard either (I noticed them on the Crammed label): - HECTOR ZAZOU With JOHN CALE/DAVID SYLVIAN/BILL LASWELL/RYUICHI SAKAMOTO/LISA GERARD et al - Sahara Blue (Crammed MTM 32/Ryko; Belgium) - HAROLD BUDD & HECTOR ZAZOU - Glyph (Crammed MTM 37/Ryko; Belgium)

He was in Eno's ambient series. I also ADORE S.B. It's quite funky. It is based on poems by [Arthur] Rimbaud - exceedingly hip [and quite sexy..]! [If you're interested Alucard, just say the word ;)]   re: world/fusion - Both Bill Laswell and Peter Gabriel [who really started the trend here..] are great places to start. Material's work from the 90s [that's Laswell's baby] - such as Hallucination Engine, 7 Souls, etc [I can send some samps here too - give me a bit o' time though..] Gabriel's The Passion is a bit of a masterpiece imo..   I have a lot of crammed stuff - very post-punk in their leanings. is that a style you like BV [I can't recall]? LMK if so and I will suggest a few titles/send some samps [been listening to The Honeymoon Killers a lot lately]. How I came to Crammed: they have released most of Tuxedomoon's work. An all time fave band started on Ralph records [The Residents label] in S.F. in the late 70s. Their early stuff pretty raw/edgy post punk, but their flavour is extremely dark and atmospheric..A friend of mine once said that you should never listen to them first thing in the morning unless your into suicidal moods..   Hope all are well -   BTW Geck0 - are you interested in the Momes? Personally, I think it's really good...[hard to gage via my very eclectic taste I know..;)]   Cleo   It's a holiday [here in the us], but I'm still busy working..

A positive on the post-punk, I have liked a decent slice of what I have heard. I'm quite sure I have one Material album on the computer, not quite sure which one, sounded kinda funky from memory.

"A friend of mine once said that you should never listen to them first thing in the morning unless your into suicidal moods.."

sounds like my kinda band ;)

I'm obviously slightly familiar with The Honeymoon Killers because of Aksak Maboul, but still have not heard any music. I'm also ok on Budd's works, I don't actually own any albums, but have browse through some of his discography at CD stores.

Geck0 wrote: The Momes would be cool, thanks.  I've yet to listen to my Unrest Work & Play album yet though. Bill Laswell was also in Massacre, if I recall.  Has anyone got their new album?

Just dl the second one as we speak, I would be very interested in the first one :) Going to put it on once this magma disc is finished. 

Have the Avant team put thought into adding Ikue Mori to the archives? We all know who she is - mostly because of DNA and her work with Frith and Zorn - but I think her solo work might be just as worthy of a place here. =)

Right now I'm listening to her "One Hundred Aspects of the Moon" album and I could argue that it was chamber prog. ;) I also noticed similarities between it and After Dinner or Hoahio, although this CD is a little less gentle than any of Haco's work.

Have you been through this already? actually I sort of want to get involved with the process, if it's possible.

I may like it, I'll check my inbox later.  Cheers.

Hmm, L'infonie never fail to impress me.  Volume 3333 is maybe not as good as Volume 333, but it's still excellent stuff indeed, bearing in mind it's supposed to be a live recording of the Paix, the main suite on Volume 333, but with Conservatory musicians instead, apparently.

I don't think most of you will be interested in this [except maybe syzygy, who probably already has it] - world influences/touches, but rather on the funk side - so just delete it if..if you do like it though, LMK [I uploaded another, less funk oriented/more world etc]   C
