Did you spring for the super deluxe set, or one of the two that just came out? Need to grab a copy of the CD set, but likely need to hold off on spending more on CDs for a bit.
Lot's of Japanese artists. Doing another qucik look, I see two AMT albums, Acid Mother Guru Guru - Psychedelic Navigator and Acid Mother Temple & The Melting Paraiso UFO - Recurring Dream & Apocalypse of Darkness. It looks like 10% of the box is Merzbow. I also did see another I already own, John Fahey - Old Mill Pond. Not bad to only have two previously owned out of the 100. Most of the artists I haven't heard of before
I'm super pumped (I don't have either of those AMT, or that John Fahey); I'm hoping my box is similar. You get any tracking notice before it showed up?
I've forever been on the lookout for Lol Coxhill stuff and just now I found this LP in a thrift store. Steve Miller was a keyboard player in prog-era Caravan. Sadly both Coxhill and Miller have passed. I guess you can call this avant garde impro jazz.
I'm currently revisiting this avant garde 45: A My Relationship B Don't Let Me Stop You Glenn Branca: compositions and guitar Drums – Christine Hahn Guitar – Barbara Ess
I have the old 2CD+DVD set. Still trying to figure out if the Reazioni stuff is worth re-buying the whole set yet again.
I am on the fence whether to buy this thing. Relatively skint at the mo, otherwise I would have already ordered it. I don't yet have any GdINC in my collection.
Actually was just listening to samps, trying to decide whether I can afford this thing. I don't have any GdINC in my collection.
Been listening to a couple of crackers today. Right now it's: Includes tracks from: David Talcott, Henry Jacobs, William Loughborough, and Gordon Longfellow. Three of the four names were new to me (Henry Jacobs I knew). While this is early electronic music, it really is very very good. They guys had a real sense of rhythm, and they're experimenting more than some did at the time. Sadly it's short at only 31 minutes or so, but despite that, essential. Electronic Kabuki Mambo: Henry Jacobs: Amazon.co.uk: MP3 Downloads The other is more modern: The only thing that bothers me is that the opening few minutes are panned completely to the right, which is a little jarring. Still, this is a nice modern experimental piece using old tape manipulation techniques.
I've got that Vortex album. I think it would have been a lot more interesting to experience it with the visuals.
The Bug Vs Earth - Concrete Desert Earth paired up with The Bug, a UK electronic musician. Slow music, but still some of the fastest music I've heard by Earth.
I did enjoy that collab but I was hoping for something more magical--along the lines of Soused, maybe.
Bandcamp has a comp. of avant-guitarist. I'm listening now and it's pretty nice, some misses, but that's to be expected with this sort of thing: Frets Of Yore, by Various Artists Also listening to this Fred Frith album, which is kind of like small chamber music. I've been enjoying it quite a bit:
Zaum - "The Little Flash Of Letting Go" (rec. 2005) In this way one notes the emergence of new art from the dead end of pastness not into zero and not into clinical insanity. Earlier there was: sane and insane; we provide a third alternative -- zaum, -- creatively transforming and overcoming them. Zaum, taking all the creative values from insanity (which is why the words are almost the same), except for its helplessness - its sickness. Zaum has outwitted . . . from Gerald Janecek "Kruchonykh" from "Zaum: The Transrational Poetry of Russian Futurism" at Light and Dust
