Ruben,
Tried to send you a PM but your inbox is full...
 
Look in that thread again, for a Zshare.

Thanks for the notice  Assaf. I'll clean it up ASAP and check the thread.

BTW, I'm loving the new Ahleuchatistas. It's more aggressive than What You Will which makes it much more enjoyable.

Ooh, sounds good.
I am waiting for my order of this album along with the new Time Of Orchids and the latest Upsilon Acrux (and also some Secret Oyster re-issues, and a lot of other stuff but that's beyond the scope of this thread...).

I took a day away from work (yes, it's Sunday, but I usually go to my lab on Sundays) since frustration and anguish has lead me to a dangerous point so I decided to spend the day writing reviews and working on band additions later on.
Sadly I had two promo CD's which I still had to write a review for them (sadly because they weren't that good...) so it held me back a bit but I did write one for Shining's Grindstone here:
 
I hope to have the addition of Förträngt hushållsarbete ready asap, before returning to the busy work schedule...

Among my numerous cd purchases lately, I have also ordered the three following which should arrive in a few days:

 
So, has anyone here already heard those and would like to comment on them?
 
All of these three bands are now touring the US (and there will also be shows where they perform together as well as with Cheer Accident as well - look here for more info Cuneiform artists, various tour dates)

I must say I'm somewhat intrigued to hear you thoughts on this one once it arrives. As for me I have not heard any of these releases, at this point in time. Life doesn't seem to be leaving me too much finances for CD purchasing. BTW I have been enjoying the influx of reviews you have recently submitted.

Wonderful! And great that Phillippe's already written a couple og rewievs. I got to start writing a couple myself, atleast for two of my favorite albums of all time: Docteur Faust and Hathor.

Btw: Förträngt Hushållsarbete's label Bauta Records' got plenty more bands that should be here. Check my thread in the suggest new bands/artists department.

Igor Wakhévitch Logos

Line-up/Musicians

Igor Wakhevitch/keyboards, synthesizers

The french kraut/psychedelia band Triangle plays Logos and probably (uncredited) on Docteur Faust. This is defenatly not two pure keyboard/synthesizer albums. The latter is more like an occult krautrock/kosmishe deathmass.

...The climax of the whole opus comes with “Danse Sacrale”, an extraordinary psychedelic instrumental performed by Triangle (one of the earliest French psychedelic bands) that has to be heard to be believed. A great band in their early days, this goes to prove that Triangle were not just Pink Floyd cum Traffic copyists. This all amounts to a unique fusing of psychedelia and the avant-garde, and an awesome experience! Alan Freeman on Logos.

^^^^ yeah, I've listened to it about three times now. The first listen was quite a shock, somewhat different to what I was expecting. Then again, I'm coming to expect the unexpected from Circle these days. I really have not formed a full opinion as of yet, overall the album makes me feel a little disgruntled, not sure why, makes it hard for me to stay where I like it or not. Though something I am certain off, they have had better releases, enjoyable but nothing out standing.

I'm way ahead of you buddy.Wink

I was a decent release. I liked it more than Panic. They're still on shaky grounds with their different changes in genres from album to album, but they're improving after each consecutive (except Tower which is still their best from this year, IMO).

I don't know if my rating was fanboyish or not, but I found the album very enjoyable.

Don't make me post in a RIO thread again, buddy!

You know me - the only thing I need after such kind words is a review

Some links of interest that Avant-music News posted (http://www.somnius.com/amn/):
 

Rudresh Mahanthappa is interviewed in anticipation of a Denver gig.

The mysterious language crafted by alto saxophonist Rudresh Mahanthappa might be considered “friendly avant garde” or “accessible outside” jazz. Raised in Boulder but a part of the New York scene for a decade now, he returns to Colorado, at Dazzle on Friday, with his working quartet.

“I’ve always thought that it has this complexity and esoteric whatever that people like to put on it,” Mahanthappa said of his collection of sharp, mathematically inspired compositions. “But it has this energy and momentum that has this wide appeal. I’m very conscious of how I write melodies. People can walk away with a song going on in their heads.”

And the tracks on last year’s “Codebook” (Pi) do stick with you, even if the complexities that go into the writing and improvising may not

 

 

A review in All About Jazz about ”Millennium Jumble” by Elton Dean & The Wrong Object  - http://www.allaboutjazz.com/php/article.php?id=26948

 

Some interesting posts and reviews at the Free Jazz blog - http://freejazz-stef.blogspot.com/

 

 

And last but not least Die Anarchistische Abendunterhaltung (DAAU) are now here; I added them after the ZART's many discussions about this.

For those who are unfamiliar, go to www.daau.be and also Myspace http://www.myspace.com/daaudieanarchistischeabendunterhaltung

Their first album is fantastic! (read the bio to get an idea)

^^^ thanks, I hope you enjoy the album, it has been quite a while since I have reviewed anything. I think it will be quite a different experience from the Otomo Yoshihide that you have heard before, actually I'm not sure how far you have dived into his works? I will be interested to hear some of you thoughts, might take a little while to grow on you.

Hey everyone, I made a thread about this, but I know it will die very quickly, so I wanted to tell you:
Art Zoyd albums on eMusic! Even the early ones!
 
Also, it's cool to see DAAU added.
