For those how don't know them, 'tis a duo between Tatsuya Yoshida and Tsuneo Imahori (tipographica) playing a RIO influenced/improv/noise rock/math rock style.

 
Chris or Adam;
You wouldn't happen to have any samples or links to where I may hear some notes of it?
 

Would appreciate this also, thanks!

Right, that's my next shopping expedition sorted... LOL

I already knew I wanted more Present.  One of my favourite recent discoveries (out of so many!).

And I gave a listen to some Ahvak and U Totem samples earlier, they definitely seem to my taste, so they're on the list for sure.

I'll wait for a bit though, I've bought a lot recently (don't want to overspend or end up with a listening backlog!).

[Currently playing Weidorje again.  Soundbite: Nice combination of pound-bash-stomp and dreamy soothing spaciness... Big%20smile]


Well, just listened to U Totem's s/t and it was excellent.  Love Emily Hay's vocals, and the music is highly Henry Cow influenced and therefore awesome.  Wink

I am also currently enjoying Thinking Plague's In This Life - more great female vocals and very tight musicianship - I'll have to order In Extremis shortly as that seems to be the consensus best.

The Frith/Zorn 50th Birthday album is also a killer. I might have to review some more free improv when I get round to putting my reviewer's hat back on.
 
Apropos of nothing at all, I'm currently suffering from a dental abcess which is going to need some root canal work in the near future. I've downloaded the 1st Aka Moon album from emusic and I'm thoroughly enjoying it - James, if you don't know them give them a try; if you like Elton Dean albums like Into The Nereika you'll probably like this as well. 
 
I've also been listening to Bob Drake's Little Black Train album, which I think will take a few more listens to absorb properly.

I found the 50th Birthday celebration with Frith to be a nearly unlistenable mess.  A few neat ideas, but nothing worth hearing again.

On the other hand, I'm listening to The Bribe right now (the "sequel" to Spillane), and it's blowing my mind.

Spillane is probably better, but The Bribe will probably end up in my top ten Zorn albums as well.  If you don't know Spillane (not just Syzygy, anyone), get it.  Then get The Bribe.

It really does contain some brilliant improvisation. I should get hold of more of Zorn's free improv work. I really like what i have heard.

Oooh, I do like Into the Niereka.  Not my favourite Dean album (that has to be Ninesense Live at the BBC) but still very good.

Chris, you'll also enjoy Organon's Klusterbuckstuckle, which features Dean.

29/9/2002, Organon, The Premises, London, recordings for "Klusterbuckstuckle" CD


1. Rekelecterak
2. Klusterbuckstuckle
3. Arpaloogy
4. Froomillais

Elton Dean - alto sax, saxello
Jim Dvorak - trumpet
Tim Crowther - guitar, guitar synth
John Edwards - bass
Jim Lebaigue - drums

released as Klusterbuckstuckle (SLAM 2004 CD)



I tend to prefer a full band... rather than just Dean with a double bass and drummer, to be fair.  Into the Niereka was rather freeform and I'm still getting into that style.

I've just ordered more Dean albums actually, my collection is growing.

Those words don't do the album justice, Pat. Wink

It's one of the best avant-prog albums ever... seriously.  It's in my top 5.

News Just In from Cuneiform re. forthcoming tours etc. (via Avant-Prog Yahoo Group):

I want to go to one of those London Soft Machine Legacy gigs.  Or I could even make it up to The Robin 2 in Bilston.

Wadada Leo Smith would be cool too.  Argh... more gigs outside of London, please!

Melissa, fancy seeing SML at Bilston?
