Denver: "I can't imagine listening to a drone for anything approaching 59 minutes, much less wanting to go through that again, but to each his own."
GP: "if you can't imagine it perhaps you should try it for real."
- Yup ! - thats a constructive and much recommended approach to the matter . . .

This is from the big "Essential Masses" set. I loves me some monster church organ.
Amusing comment on Amazon:
A definitive recording of these Masses is a rarity and for the serious student of French classical liturgical interpretation, this is quite fine. I plan to consult other serious organists for their opinions.
I bet that person lurves some monster church organ too.
Earl Howard, synthesizer, live processing; Georg Graewe, piano; Ernst Reijseger, cello; Gerry Hemingway, drums.
- "Earl Howard's Clepton is as complex, mysterious and poetic as the outer limits of science he finds inspiration in, and the imagery of particle physics is particularly appropriate for the extraordinary interaction that takes place between the composer and his three playing partners throughout Clepton's 38 minutes. For Gerry Hemingway, "these are models that might be referenced to help us focus our approach to a given section-a basic understanding of scientific principles and concepts is useful as they often have terminology that better articulates the intent of a player's actions rather than, say, feelings which are more vague and open to interpretation."
Rosebud, a Howard/Hemingway duo recorded during a tour of upstate New York back in 1989, is as fresh and challenging as if it had been recorded yesterday. What's particularly remarkable is the range of color and timbral sophistication of Howard's electronics. Milton Babbitt's famous line about nothing growing old faster than a new sound certainly applies to the world of electronic keyboards; tune in to your local Top 40 station and if you hear a mellotron, an ARP Odyssey, a Yamaha DX7 or a Korg M1 you have a pretty clear idea as to when the song was recorded. Very few musicians have taken the time to explore these instruments in depth and go beyond the standard patches that soon sound dated, even clich
I haven't listened to this in a long time until recently, but boys it good. As an added bonus, last time I listened was on tape, so the "plus 3 songs" are totally new to me.
Listening to Seeljocht by various artists including Nils Frahm and Greg Haines. Had to order the CD from Hong Kong. The Frahm track is just marvelous. Marvelous.

Sometimes the right thing comes on at the right time. This is vastly improving my mood this morning.

Thanks, Plong.
Another new free Audio Gourmet EP, very warm and enveloping.
Full-length on bandcamp from artist of above EP. Quite varied, some nice tracks.
I'm not sure where I downloaded this, but it wasn't emusic. I downloaded it last July and this is the first full play - music overload?
The first track is wonderful. The rest is very good too, only suffering from the first track being my favorite.
Starting:
Shake your rump-a!

Guitar based indie pop from a member of Vivian Girls.
