Strategies Against Architecture - The Avant Garde/Experimental Album Club

I really like that Partch guy. I looked up his music and thought "It sounds a TINY bit like Cage," but after doing a bit of research I found that Partch actually hated Cage and what he stood for. While I am against animosity (especially against John Cage), I do think he's an interesting and great musician. I'd really like to learn more about him.

I also voted Phew.

Well, if we do end up doing Phew (which I have absolutely no problem with), do we have anyone who can translate it into English. Maybe there already is an English translation - who knows?

^That album has such a great music that the last thing you're going to pay attention to are the words. But, if it helps you, the song titles are in English, although she sings in Japanese (unless it's some semi improvised language a la Damo Suzuki, I wouldn't know really).

I vote Flux Information Sciences.

Also voted Phew - from the looks of it, it'll sound awesome.

Yeah, Phew looked the most interesting for me.
