With apologies for the lack of visuals and links here's the lowdown on what I've been listening to so far on the holidays. I don't normally track my listening but this was done to spark a few comments in my next contribution to Franks APA the physical paper zine I write for.

"Hashisheen is the result of two years of hard work and collaborations.
This conceptual project guided and supervised by Bill Laswell is
presented through voices and music from artists such as: WS Burroughs,
Iggy Pop, Patti Smith, Jah Wobble, Paul Schütze, Techno Animal, Genesis
P-Orridge...
A series of pieces about the ancient (11th century) and mystic story of
Hasan bin Sabbah, Alamut the "Garden of Earthly Delights" and the rites
of the Hashisheens (also called the "Assassins"). . . . "
"A possible suite of Luna Park (a collection of avant-garde voices
1913-1974) and still edited by Marc Dachy, this is a complete cd built
on the 3 axes of the european dada avant-garde : 3 major artists reading
their own texts. Hans Arp (from a very rare record) Raoul Hausmann
(some rare pieces from 1918 to 1957 - recorded by Henri Chopin) and the
great
Kurt Schwitters who read his only two recorded merzpoems Anna
Blume and Ursonate (both recorded in 1932). Including photos, texts,
historical introduction (translation in German, French and English).
Hans Arp was close to Tristran Tzara when he created Dada in Zürich.
Kurt Schwitters was one of the major figure of the German avant-garde
and Raoul Hausmann one of the creator of Dada in Berlin. This is the
first time that the three mighty artists appear together on one record."
