Anyone a fan of No Wave?  I'm listening to James Chance - Buy the Contortions right now and it's awesome.  Not PA-acceptable, but fantastic nonetheless.  The saxophone is ridiculous and awesome.

Just felt like re-emphasizing this post.

Joren has recommended me (I think it was in 2006) to listen to this British composer named Steve Martland who was a student of Louis Andriessen (a Dutch composer who is also recommended!) and is composing wonderful music that blend orchestra and rock (which will remind you of some of your favourite avant-rock).

I'm listening to Elements of Structure/Permance right now and it's destroying me.  Amazing.

Thanks, Assaf.

Well the reviews for Le champ des larmes weren't favourable, from what I can tell, so let's hope Le chute de la Maison Usher gets a better rating.

It has a 2008 release, but I'm not sure if it's out yet.  I guess I should check their website.  Anyhow, if anyone gets to hear it, I'd be pleased to hear how it is.

I also wouldn't mind of someone who knows Japanese could somehow translate the words on those Art Zoyd remasters, as it seems there could be a little explanation of the songs.

Also, are some of those bonus tracks solo ones by Thierry Zaboitzeff and the other guy?  I was curious, because if they, I will change the artist name so they post correctly on last.fm.

If you know, again, it would be appreciated.
 
 
I'm also curious about this one; didn't find anyone who listened to it yet.
 
 
On another note, I read a review in Musique Machine about an interesting band called Barzel (Iron in Hebrew) that released an album called Born to Destroy Amalex which is a sort of game of words on Amalec (http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/01377c.htm) 
Review is here:

RCD 2075 - Elephant9: Dodovoodoo
PRICE: 119,00 NOK

Excellent new trio consisting of Ståle Storløkken (Supersilent, Humcrush) on keyboards, Nikolai Eilertsen (The National Bank, Lester) on bass and Torstein Lofthus (Shining) on drums. Storløkken mostly concentrating on organ and electric piano gives the album a late sixtees, early seventees flavour with traces of rock, jazz, prog and psychedelia. The rock solid rhythm section gives it all a contemporary edge and we get an extremely tight little unit with a high degree of great musicianship as well as pure joy in their playing. Already a firm live favourite on the Norwegian scene for a couple of years due to a handful of highly energetic and enthusiastically received concerts, they have transfered their live promise to the recording studio with ease. The album was recorded live to analogue tape in Grand Sport Studio, Oslo.

Release: 26.05.08

 
 


I am really looking forward to this album coming out!

I think these guys are definitely Canterbury, so I'll drop a link in the JR/F thread.

Supersilent is rather interesting though I haven't listened to them in the longest time
to be honest the only one I listened to more than once was 6, I had 8 but never gave it a proper listen
aren't their first few albums abrasive as hell?

Listening to Elephant9's myspace tracks right now....I dig, sounds like Egg if their drummer was on 'roids.

New Lars Hollmer, nice!  I'll have to check that out.  

Besides that, the rest don't sound terribly interesting to me.  Well, 1313 is interesting but I already have it.
