Same. Although I think that album is special in terms of raw emotional content even if the music is really uninteresting.

Was very bored with it. Condolences to the guy, but I don't know him, and I don't want to listen to 40 minutes or whatever of him crying about his life while accompanied by an acoustic guitar.

I've been listening to Rumours by Fleetwood Mac a lot lately. I always used to prefer their blues stuff from the late 60s with Peter Green more than anything, but lately it's been this. I just like the way their albums with Buckingham and Nicks sound with a good stereo system, even though this is one of those bands that classic rock radio really played the hell out of when I was growing up and that's what my parents were listening to. Maybe that's why it's taken so long to really get into these albums again, but I'm starting to like them (and even the stuff from the 80s).

Tuluum Shimmering - Linus and Lucy
Seventy-five minutes plus of that “Linus and Lucy” in process-music form as cyclo-navigational atmospherics. Another special cover version from Jake Webster of North Wales who brilliantly takes this over-exposed Peanuts theme and adds an upfront soft seed-pod pulse reminiscent of the shaker rhythm that you hear at the beginning of Steve Reich’s “Four Organs.” It continues thru a surprising sweep of musical touchstones without feeling in any way forced. It’s almost “natural” but somehow astronavigational to hear it develop from a fade-in of an almost Tinker Bell-with-maracas-and-celeste to the cRaZy ghost of “Rainbow In Curved Air” that forms almost exactly in the middle of the piece - then morphing into, first, Lonnie Liston Smith/Stanley Cowell 70s spiritual jazz curls and then, second, a clear “Dark Star” saturated jam just before the piece ends as various pied pipers ripple into the ethers. Zeitkratzer should give us a more professional recording. |

Bérangère Maximin - Frozen Refrains
She just keeps getting better - and her fifth album continues her acousmatic sound manipulations that lie within a range of overlapping INA-GRM/Henry complexity and an almost Ferrari or Enoesque love of organic sound. There’s usually some kind of “ground” - a regular, soft rhythm or a drone - that keeps you focused on the beautiful darkness of a crystalliferous deep space yaw that only she’s able to audibly manoeuvre. |
