Justin Toner said:I'm really sorry if I insulted anyone. The jibe was directed at Tuareg drivers. Sorry if you are one.
Justin Toner said:It's the principle of taking spontaneous, improvised recordings and overdubbing post-facto with which I disagree (hence the Patterson/McCormack reference. Could easily have used Nat King & Nathalie Cole). If the Cooders, Cachaito, &c. had been in the studio, that's different.
Justin Toner said:The difference between this and e.g. Magic Numbers, is that this seems designed to appeal to the Three-CDs-per-year crowd.
Justin Toner said:Cooders' participation was at the behest of Nick Gold.

Name me five records records that you have bought in the last year that are truely new and completely original. Everything is ripped of someone else, some people are just more obvious than others.giveadogabone said:music that isn't new or original is pointless!

note to self - Zigsplat - good name for a band.quasiquasi said:Well ultimately, anything we classify as music must be perceived as similar in some way to other things we classify as music, so it can't be completely original - if it was, we'd call it "zigsplat" or suchlike.

Justin Toner said:Just got it yesterday. Cello/piano duos. These arrangements are based on the original T.A. de Hartmann transcriptions. Eastern/Sufi-tinged. Booklet essay looks like it might shed some light. As might next week's Lechner/Tsabropoulis gig in Liberty Hall, opening for Louis Sclavis' Napoli's Walls quartet.
chutneyfarmer said:Sufjan Stevens - Illinois: Just a beautiful record. The more I listen to it, the more I love it. The arrangements are just amazing! The track about John Wayne Gacy has to be one of the most beutiful songs ever written.
chutneyfarmer said:Arcade Fire - Funeral: Really didn't like this album at first. The singer's voice kinda annoyed me. Still, I kinda liked what they were doing in terms of arrangement and production so I stuck with it and I'm glad I did. This is probably the best record I've heard this year, hands down.

Onny listened to this very quickly yesterday, early impressions are that they spent alot of time on the construction of the tunes and the overall sound is mellow and lush. On first listening it's maybe missing that little bit of personality that's on most of their records, but I get the idea its a grower.
I bet its not as good as the original.tripoli said:especially "vapour trail". Nice stuff.
Burgerbarbaby said:H3O...The Sea Org. Think this is crap. Still haven't found one of their albums to compare with Fuck.
snap-apple said:Stars of the Lid - The Ballasted Orchestra
Sleepy time. Just thought as I saw a few ambient recommendations further up that I'd say this is my favourite and regularly comes out for a spin.
tell me more.......Stan Bowles said:I bet its not as good as the original.

Just deadly
Brian Conniffe said:my personal favourite is still "the tired sounds of...". if you like this stuff, i highly highly highly recommend the work of Mirror. in particular, "visiting star", "mirror of the sea" and "eye of the storm". utterly blissful stuff.
snap-apple said:ta! have just ordered some mirror, steve reich, hafler trio and other stuff from forcedexposure.com. they better be good now
