djh - when I was 7, sixty years ago, we lived in Macclesfield. At my school you either supported United or City, and I fortunately choose the right team. My first game was a month or so before Munich, so I can claim to have seen Duncan Edwards and others.
Hi @confused How do you rate Damon Smith's bass playing on this one? I've heard good stuff and DS is a Facebook friend (due to links with the London Improv crowd) - but there's large chunks of his catalogue I don't really know. I think this one has good reports? Ta.
Well, I thought it was great. More bow work than plucking but that fit right in with Blonk's weird/goofy vocal noises(which I find most interesting). Favourite tracks were 4- Karawane (Caravan) & 7- Totenklage (Dirge) but enjoyed them all.

Both were recorded in Bruce Tull's kitchen with one microphone. My wife really doesn't like Joe's singing style but it's one that make my ears perk up.
Sorry about last night Greg, for once Spurs were just too good. Bit of a night in the pub but this I think was one you recommended and enjoying this morning.
Lowlife - yes a good game for the rest of my family! Fortunately I did not have to take my 9 year old granddaughter to school this morning! And my Fantasy captain, Harry Kane, didn't even score. The problem was Spurs scoring before the bus was even warmed up, never mind parked. United didn't seem to have any alternative tactics....
I think that I'll be grabbing the new Frahm on CD tomorrow- Lord knows that it's nowhere near being on EMusic - even though they have previous releases. I was going to get the new Tom Rogerson album on the Dead Oceans label, but Dead Oceans is one of the labels that disappeared on the site.
Just released on ACT Music (one of the few strong jazz labels still showing up near release date on eMusic). Should have some cross-over appeal for those who like jazz/contemporary classical/cinema. I wasn't familiar with the artists, but am enjoying the music.

: After “La Légende d’Eer” in 2016, the PERIHEL series presents one of the
milestones of electroacoustic music: IANNIS XENAKIS’ mindblowing
54-minutes oeuvre “Persepolis”, mixed from the original 8 track tapes by
MARTIN WURMNEST and mastered / cut by RASHAD BECKER.
“Persepolis” is the longest electroacoustic composition by IANNIS
XENAKIS (1922-2001) who ranks among the most influential 20th century
avantgarde composers. Commissioned by the Persian Shah, the piece was
part of a multimedia performance – XENAKIS’ so-called “polytopes” –
which premiered in 1971 in Shiraz-Persepolis (Iran) as a performance
including light-tracks, laser beams, groups of children walking around
with torches and 59 loudspeakers to project the music in an open-air
situation. XENAKIS had realized “Persepolis” on 8-track analogue tape in
the Studio Acusti in Paris and released a stereo reduction on vinyl in
the famous Philips series “Prospective 21e Siècle” in 1972, adding the
new subtitle “We bear the light of the earth”, his most hymnal title
ever.
Out of print for decades now, the LP became – especially the Japanese edition from 1974 – one of the most
expensive collector’s item of electroacoustic music. There were some
later CD versions with different durations – too long due to a wrong
sample rate, others shortened by 3 minutes due to other reasons. The
PERIHEL series now presents a new version: mixed from the original (!)
master 8 track tapes by longtime zeitkratzer sound engineer MARTIN
WURMNEST and mastered by RASHAD BECKER at D&M, Berlin – the same
experts who had already taken care of the 2016 KARLRECORDS release of
“La Légende d’Eer”, another milestone composition among the works of the
Greek-French avant-garde composer.
Just out today, on eMusic yet. Press release announcement: 'Project Pays Homage to
Turkish Jazz Impresario Mehmet “Memo” Uluğ (1959-2013), Inspired by Avant-Garde Jazz
Legend Butch Morris (1947-2013) & Poet Amiri Baraka (1934-2014)'
Yes all those useless places you-know-who has no time for. Mainly a really relaxing and uplifting selection. Happens to include Utrus Horas by Orchestra Baobab which is one of my favourite pieces of music from anywhere - ever. You have been warned.

Thanks @Doofy - I saw that, too. Actually pretty good jazz week over at eMusic. Several new releases on Act, Mack Avenue, Motema, Whaling City Sound, and Effendi. You can see the dog's ribs, but the cupboard's not quite bare yet... ;-)
