Kim Boekbinder - I Have Your Heart. A cool animated film, with a catchy song. Kim Boekbinder is on bandcamp, so I bought the song (my daughters both loved it). She is in the same orbit as Amanda Palmer. The video is worth watching, your mileage may vary on the song.
For reasons which are not quite clear to me, Last.FM suggested I listen to Vagabond Opera after Kim Boekbinder. Whilst looking for that band, I found a comp called "Waltzes, Glitches & Brass: The New Sounds Of Vaudeville", which CD Baby describes as "Vaudeville, Music Hall, Freak Shows, Concert Saloons, Minstrelsy, Dime Museums, and Burlesque; all major forms of entertainment in the late 1800s/ early 1900s. A time where costuming and stagecraft was paramount, and a certain warped fascination with the bizarre and freakish, spliced with titillation and risqu
I found a single track from this in my emu. folder.
- Right now streaming the album from BC and wondering if it was a DDL or if someone here recommended it.
In any case, this is wonderful "Space Cello Music"
- "As the recipient of the 2005 Hertz Grant, Jody Redhage began developing her singing cellist projectwriting and also commissioning a repertoire for her voice and cello from some of New Yorks most talented emerging composers. All Summer in a Day, the CD culmination of this commissioning/recording project, was originally released in 2007 on New Amsterdam Records and has been called a freewheeling, slightly edgy and altogether different kind of musical experience highly rewarding and worthwhile (Dave Lewis, All Music Guide). Jody spent 2009 going in and out of the studio, recording more pieces for her voice, cello, and electronics. The updated album, of minutiae and memory (featuring a few tracks from the original 2007 release and many new compositions) is the compelling result.
The album includes eight immersive, nuanced premiere recordings of compositions from some of todays most talented young indie classical composers: Missy Mazzoli, Ryan Brown, Anna Clyne, Stefan Weisman, Paula Matthusen, Wil Smith, Derek Muro, and Joshua Penman. The tracks have been carefully curated by Redhage to flow effortlessly from piece to piece, and the albums extremely high production value lends an alluring sheen to each track."

@BN. Oddly enough, I found a single track from that same album in a long neglected folder yesterday evening and had a listen. Pretty sure it must have been a DDL. Nice stuff indeed.
After something on another thread, I'm playing the three tracks I have by Lindisfarne on itunes. I really ought to get my LPs converted. For those who do not know anything about Lindisfarne they were an early folk/rock band in the first half of the 1970s. Their sound was a bit like Bellowhead, but much less traditional. Most of their material was original. Their biggest hit was Fog on the Tyne.
This album totally encapsulated the late sixties/early seventies to me. In the UK it was never a major chart hit at the time, but actually becane a big sellerto people like me over several years
From Guvera - thanks again for the DL's. All album-only songs were available on this.
It's hard to describe. From one of the customer reviews on Amazon:
Argentinean Dino Saluzzi manages to be a great bandeonist and sound different from great Astor Piazzolla. His music is much closer to new age than to "nuevo tango" invented by Piazzolla and Co, his approach is more "down-to-earth" and "minimalistic" yet still bears an influence on Argentinean music . That's what makes him interesting for me and I love this album in particular because of "chamber sound" if you know what I mean. Like you seat in a big dark room next to a fireplace and the guys are playing for you. Five stars
Yes BN I do have it as a CD. I think only one or two original members are still alive - Brian Maclean died in the late 90s before the live version of Forever Changes. Another from the same period:
That Ben Webster meets Oscar Peterson went very well with a cabernet the other night, thanks BigD (I think). Plenty more Ben Webster to check out on Guvera.
Comments
Thanks, BN, the cover art immediately sold me on giving this a listen.
RACHMIEL - VORTEX ENGINE
More Entity Netlabel; sampling this from their site. Kind of fun so far.
ETA: Similar territory to Giuseppe Ielasi with more dissonance/spacey noises
Speaking of covers selling albums, this cover sold me this album straight away. It has been on my daily playlist for over a week now.
- Strange, haunting and utterly brilliant !
(info @ the N&N thread)
Not from Guvera; although I wonder if they have any Genesis?

See Meet me on the Corner and Fog on the Tyne

- - A live recording from 2003 and a document of one of the most successful band reunions in music history . . .
I got it from Emusic, but it is no longer there.
- Greg, If you haven't got it, get it !
ETA: breathtaking ! - Thanks for the reminder Greg !
ETA 2: Arthur Lee died in 2006
From Guvera - thanks again for the DL's. All album-only songs were available on this.
It's hard to describe. From one of the customer reviews on Amazon: I also highly recommend.
This is easily the best album I've dl'd in the recent Guvera run. And Rod Stewart had no business going anywhere near "Taj Majal."
New release 6 tracks 40 minutes long
That Ben Webster meets Oscar Peterson went very well with a cabernet the other night, thanks BigD (I think). Plenty more Ben Webster to check out on Guvera.
