thom - Nice! They're a band I need to see at some point. Although I bet you have more opportunities than I do. I do have some great summer shows coming up though. Rock the Garden (Metric, Bob Mould, Dan Deacon, Low, and Silversun Pickups), ?uestlove and D'Angelo, Savages...gonna be a good summer.
@Kez - yes it is a compilation. Although I have most of her albums there are certainly a number of tracks I didn't have previously, especially the collaborations. I did think about just downloading those tracks I needed but it worked out cheaper on Amazon to get the whole album. What is good is that it shows the whole range of her career in a way that a single album cannot from traditional folk tracks to more contemporary almost jazz influenced music. She's doing a short tour of Britain at the moment with Jim Moray, getting excellent reviews, unfortunately none near me. There is a rumour that there could be a live album of the tour.
Steve Reich refers to Caleb Burhans as "a unique, unusual, and distinctive voice" all of which the young composer and multi-instrumentalist brings to bear on his Cantaloupe Music debut EVENSONG (July 30).
Featuring ALARM WILL SOUND, the TRINITY WALL STREET CHOIR and the TARAB CELLO ENSEMBLE, the recording is a testament to Burhans' versatility as a composer and the defining statement of his complex connection to the church an emo-classical epic where sacred meets secular in a pure, dynamic expression of musical influences that range from classical to ambient to post-rock. While the album presents motifs from the Christian church service (book-ended with the opening Magnificat and the closing Nunc Dimittis, recorded with the Trinity Wall Street Choir), it refracts them through the modern lens of new music and the avant garde.
eta. (I believe i've finally figured out those letters)
Field recordings, electronic music & why I don't like headphones.
Mixed in perfectly with tonight's storm. Cataract was a standout with the wind picking up and trying to suck the door out of the room, only to send it smacking back into the frame again, and again. (i'd fix that but I kind of enjoy it). It's pretty calm right now. Good time for it to retreat.
Ps (it's shorter)
I really like that way of thinking. I really got it in toward the wires, had birds competing inside and out for attention as it cleared up and held right through to a steady burn........I guess, I love the rain.
More perfect timing from a great speller.
I'd been hoping to hear something new from him, his songs have so much feeling and that voice!
ETA. (stretching it out)
A little disappointed but not by much, I found another paradise to add to the collection. I'd already built up a thirst and really love the way it used to be.
Well, I'm finishing of my stash of emusic prepaid $.49/track downloads and I'm 9 cents short of finishing off this album which is credited to Sophie Cherrier. Another booster on the way.
- ""Shimmering Mah No 1" - almost 48 minutes of unmistakable Joxfield ProjeX music in their most heavy, progressive, psychedelic space-rock moods, with roaring instruments; the playful jazzy electric pianos, the screaming guitars, break-the-ceiling-basses, wild electronics, rumble keyboars eccentric voice samples and rough arty rolling drumbeats - all of it pointing out new directions of their uncontrolled, explosive creativity."
