CDs

E•A•D•G•B (v/a, 12k) (highly recommended; is to glitchmuzik and the guitar what Sosumu's Grinning Cat is to ambient house and the piano; for people who liked Microstoria's Model 3, Step 2 but wanted more sonic variety)

Elektronische Musik - Interkontinental 2 (v/a, Traum, used CD bin; not recommended)

Reinhard Voigt - Im wandel der zeit (Kompakt; a present from a friend; good background music for mindless drudgery; not recommended).

DVDs

Harry Kümel - Daughters of Darkness (Blue Underground; highly recommended). Goes for $11.00 and change (including shipping) on the web.

De Palma - Raising Cain (I loved this film, but I can't defend it except in limited technical terms: De Palma brings endlessly choreographed steadicam scenes to heights of gratuity that even he hadn't reached previously. The entire filmic exercise fascinates me as an exploration of labyrinthine corridors, colonnades and pathways -- one that is intended to convey the disorientation of a multiple's mind spacially. Found the DVD (which is feature-impoverished) at DeepDiscountDVD for $9.17.)

Lapses of taste aside, I happen to think Femme Fatale's the best film De Palma's ever made.

Artwork

Trevor Brown - The Black Box (a gift from a friend who just returned from Japan). Mine is copy #894 in this series of limited signed postcards.

Book

Cautillus/Tibullus/Pervigilium/Veneris

Berlioz - Synphonie Fantastique
Sir Colin Davis and the LSO, Havent heard this yet bought it on spec as all his recent LSO recording get rave reviews.

Schubert - Sonatas - Stephen Hough
B flat major, A Minor and C major. Listning to the B flat as I type its excellent.

Schubert - Sonatas - Paul Lewis
A minor and C major. For a different take on Schubert. I have got his B flat on order.

Schubert - Complete String Quartets Vol 5 - Kodaly Quartet
Quartets 2,6 and 11. Still not listened to this as it only arrived today alongf with the three other classical CDs above.

Having a bit of a Schubert thing at present as you can see.

I'm going to enjoy this book. I've always like collections of short stories and the theme of yours just grabbed my attention. Maybe because I'm a Stephen King fan and don't mind losing sleep over disquieting subject matter. I was browsing Matterland and thought at first that was another book. Maybe it's the web site name. I did find "25 Reasons For Liking Horror", is that yours too?

newest acquisitions:

the user: abandon (label: asphodel. music for silo #5, montreal's grain elevator; highly recommended to people who liked koner's zyklops.)

v/a: heroin (label: orthlorng musark. 2cds. ekkehard ehlers cd w/2nd cd of rmxs by josef suchy, nobukazu takemura, kit clayton, christian fennesz, oren ambarchi, carmen baier, akira rabelais; gorgeous; highly recommended.)

tomas jurku: bleak 1999 73:05 minutes (label: no type. haven't heard it yet, but the label issues from montreal, which, together with the length of the piece, means it's probably experimental. i don't like jirku's club-oriented music, but i'll probably like this. more later.)






to fractus2: yes, it is.

Latest 5 -

Jean Michel Jarre- Oxygene CD - MFSL

John Coltrane - Blue Train cd - MFSL

John Coltrane Giant Steps LP (first pressing!)

John Coltrane - A Love Supreme LP

Charles Mingus - Mingus at Carnegie Hall CD - MFSL

The Mingus album sports stellar sax work but guest artist Rashan Roland Kirk really bringds it down! The best live sax recording I've heard next to 'Trane Live at Birdland. One of the best live jazz recordings I have ever heard period.
