BC Streaming: Tim Motzer & Markus Reuter - Descending
"Philadelphia guitarist Tim Motzer and German touch guitarist Markus Reuter's duo project of dark ambient improvisations features UK flautist Theo Travis, the gorgeous pedal steel work of BJ Cole (the Orb, Brian Eno), Pat Mastelotto (King Crimson, Stick Men, XTC) glitch electronics, and spatial cymbal work by Doug Hirlinger. A stunningly beautiful record."

KWJAZ - KWJAZ "*Absolutely killer album of frayed and unstable electronic mutations from the Rangers-related KWJAZ project* NNF present the hallucinatory first LP from Rangers associate Peter Berends aka KWJAZ after a blink-and-miss-it debut cassette for the Brunch Groupe in 2010. We enter a potently warped world of decomposing ambient electro-jazz with 'Once In Babylon', ferrying us along a ferric-murky exhalation of blurry mixtape-styled moments flopping from loungey, twinkling keys to blunted synths nd proggy rhythm switches to the deserted-harbour-cruising drones and soggy bossa-lite inflections of 'Righteous Wane'. His sound has been aptly compared with the more esoteric jazz of Madlib's YNQ outings and the culture mulching 4th world experiments of John Hassell, and there's certainly an affinity with the work of James Ferraro. Mind-bendingly surreal and utterly zonked."

As usual, Destination:Out is on the job with its tribute to the recently departed Sam Rivers, with a long essay and career-spanning selection of tracks.
Craig, I think I got The Flaming Lips at Amie because someone (from here probably) rec'd it.
Edit - No, I got it from last year's 7dig Xmas sale - isn't a Search function a grand thing. It makes up for brain cells. And it was amclark2.

Another collection of 78s put together by the Western Swing on 78--The Rice Brothers.
Greg - it wasn't too late; only about 10:30; it's a 5 hour difference.
Airs de cours, mostly from France, mostly from around 1600: the nexus of popular music and court culture.

This one is a strong favorite for me of the three.

Doofy - I highly recommend the book. Fascinating read.
BigD - I'm sure the Jonsi was Amie, but don't recall on Grizzly Bear (I have the Flaming Lips CD). I miss Amie too, though. A lot.
