^^^ was watching the solo performance linked at the bottom of the article, she delivers her dual vocal/violin in a stunningly dexterous manner. I also agree with her inclination to record live, especially in a jazzy/improv context.

Thanks for clearing that up, for while there I thought my mind was playing tricks on me again. I see they have some interesting up 'n coming releases in stall - dalek, circle, borhen and der club of gore (i know many people don't like 'em), etc...

Also, while I was browsing Southern Records yesterday, I notice one of their 'featured' albums was the recent Stars of the lid release Stars of the lid and their Refinement of the Decline. I picked this disc up a little while back after reading a few, positive reviews, I think fans of every minimal post-rock and some of the early minimalist composer, like Riley, should somewhat enjoy this album. A very sparse album, which glides and floats through the ether, at times the double disc can be quite testing, drifting off into oblivion, but if one is looking of perfect deep night music, I suggest checking out some of their material. At times it obtains an optimistic, nostalgic, vibe which fits my shifting moods like a glove. 

Stars Of The Lid is actually one of my bands on the "to get" list since January.Confused I'll need to check them out.

Nope, not yet, not sure when I will. You brought the new Wyatt disc yet, been wondering how that turned out in the eyes of visitors to this thread? Besides the article Assaf posted, there was an in depth overview of all the travesties surround the album in the October - or was it august - issue of the Wire. Interesting reading , didn't finish reading the article tho' as someone brought the damn magazine.

From Bob Drake's website - http://www.bdrak.com/news/news.htm
 
26 October 2007:
I mixed Fred Frith, Chris Cutler and Tim Hodgkinson's shows recorded last year at The Stone in New York City. Great performances! Presumably to be released next year sometime.

For the past several days I've been making demo versions of song arrangements for the other members of my band Bob Drake's Cabinet of Curiosites to learn for our upcoming show in Denver this January. The idea of digging up songs I recorded five, ten, twelve years ago on my various solo albums was initally something I was not especially thrilled about; but it's actually really exciting and fun coming up with new "playable by a band" arrangements as if it were new material. I'm also really enjoying the recording of these demos; overdubbing the parts using one mic which sits in the middle of the room, all done very quickly and simply. In a way I prefer them to the "real" versions! It's giving me a good idea for the kind of production I'd like on my next album, which I plan to start recording next summer.

 
7 October 2007:
We've been mostly working on construction around the house, adding new rooms, finishing up the "guest suite", re-doing some floors in the studio, etc. In the evenings I've been amusing myself with a couple of projects: one is the new photo gallery featuring pics of me with various bands as far back as 1974. Thought it might be fun for those of you who have been following my music over the years, so here it is!

Also made a little webpage about my band: Bob Drake's Cabinet of Curiosites.

 
The rest is here - http://www.bdrak.com/

Has anyone here ever heard of The Rascal Reporters? They recently reissued their album, 'Ridin' On A Bummer,' from 1984. It features Dave Newhouse (Muffins), Tim Hodgkinson and Fred Frith (Henry Cow). A pretty cool indy release from a band you've probably never heard of. CD Baby has some soundbites at their site worth checking out.

Yeah, I'll get it soon as well, only I haven't decided whether to buy it from Wayside or from IndieJazz.com (Cryptogramophone's mailorder).

Persons here may or may not be interested in this.

milk from cheltenham -  triptych of poisoners

"Milk fron Cheltenham is the first in a series of Alga Marghen editions documenting the activities of the It's War Boys underground label, founded by Amos (of The Homosexuals fame) in the late 1970s. The original LP was issued in an edition limited to 300 copies. The material was recorded from 1979 to 1981 but wasn't released until 1983 due to problems with the silkscreened sleeve. The band only put out this record, a real hidden gem. Lepke said that he wanted it to sound like a Beach Boys LP by using lots of different studios but it was mostly done on a cassette machine with a primitive 'surround' function. Lepke is the man who does the impossible every time he picks up a tin, carton, bottle or instrument. The first person with enough originality to adopt 'anything' to his own idiosyncratic style. Retired to an obscure basement, still without peers in the world. Lounge makes rhythms that by this time need no words of praise with a wallop, that when left, makes the usual praise words disintegrate. A mix of inestimable ability with feelings as wild as it is rare. 'Salamander' has that certain something that most people can never have even if they practice for an eternity. Most important in his influence, most endearing in his emotional impact and most convincing in his new-found authority. If The Homosexuals were a strange prospect, and their music should fit into a similar spot as that of angry young men like Wire and Magazine who carried their penchants for art-school angst in the midst of proto-thug posturing, Milk from Cheltenham were an even more extreme band. Not only progressive with a certain artistic notion (a reference could be found in This Heat, Family Fodder and Chris Cutler's bands Henry Cow and the Art Bears) but also closer to more primitive sound experimentations of a cryptic and sinister Residential perspective. This release finally documents one of the most important projects developed in the scene explored by The Homosexuals. Amos&Sara, Sara Goes Pop, Nancy Sesay & The Melodaires and more hidden mysterious activities will soon be available through Alga Marghen. Digipak first edition limited to 500 copies."

I found today that the Danish band Afenginn has two full albums that you can listen to on  their website. The sound quality is great too.

 The music? Weird but beautiful Klezmer/folk-rock, reminds me of Alamaailman Vasarat.

AFENGINN is here in PA, added by James. We both have their two albums, which are indeed a delight to listen to.
 
 
 
 
On another note, I received a promo cd for reviewing by this very interesting group called Random Touch. I'll give you a link and I'll post my review here when I'm done writing it

I like a lot of the It's War Boys stuff - L Voag, Amos, Amos & Sara, The Just Measurers etc., but somehow I've never heard Milk From Cheltenham.
 
If you're into that stuff, I recommend Die Trip Computer Die, which is the current project of Lepke and Amos. Definitely one for Residents fans and lovers of post punk weirdness!

I have recently bought from Wayside the Live album from Suishou No Fune (Shining Star) - Live
Still learning this, but I'll give you this I found on them:
 
 
 
 
 
"

artist: SUISHOU NO FUNE
title:The Shining Star - Live
catalog #: IMPREC165
upc:793447516523
release date: October 9, 2007
format: CD

Suishou no Fune [soo-ee-sho no foo-nay] was formed in 1999 by guitarists Pirako Kurenai and Kageo. They were quickly acknowledged in Japan for their unique take on Japanese psychedelic traditions but it wasn't until their inclusion on PSF's Tokyo Flashback Volume 5 they became that their international prominance began to grow.

Heavy lyrical emotion transcends linguistic barriers and Pirako's blown out fuzzy free-dream guitar work is an alternate universe psychedelic Japanese shoegaze. They are a forest at night drenched in echoing reverb and soaked with deeply spiritual/emotional melodies. Awash in waves of fuzz Suishi No Fune's control of detail amidst chaos and heavy emotions is their deepest asset. Here's to the past. Here's to the future. Somewhere between Fush*tsusha and Windy & Carl there is Suishi No Fune.

"The group's sound runs from massively distended nod-outs that recall parts of the first Fush*tsusha album through weird duo tracks that orbit a parallel universe where late-period John Fahey was the prime influence on Charalambides, infernal Dead C/Gate style guitar abuse and achingly beautiful comedown ballads. The twin vocalists are massively different in their approach, with Pirako singing in a high wayward style that's all throat and no lungs while Kageo works from the other end of the pipes with a ripped Father Yod/Jim Morrison/Keiji Haino polyglot. Simply one of the greatest out-of-nowhere groups to come out of the Tokyo underground in years and the undisputed stars of PSF's recent Tokyo Flashback 5 compilation." --Volcanic Tongue

"
 
 
For the collabs, look in the collab zone for a thread I opened about several bands to add and you'll see this there as well.
