i'm 87% sure that I was at a concert in my hometown area. I was totally blown away by Skinny Puppy's show..they were opener's for Ministry ... I think Ministry was the headliner and after the show I ran into my sister who was like "WTF was that?" In her mind Ministry had secretively morphed from some type of Euro-disco (a la 'Twitch') into some metal-centric head-banger band (I didn't have a clue and simply loved the show that presented itself to me that evening).
I think there is a point somewhere but... whatevers. I still dig Skinny Puppy and Ministry along with so many other bands that rode the 80/90 wave of consumerism.
I still like those testtube recordings a lot! I bought 4 audio DVDs from them of the complete label. I'm thinking of doing a Random Radio mix using those - and possibly the Impulsive Habitat break-off label - in the future.
UNIFONY is a unique project where Minco Eggersman and Theodoor Borger work with befriended guest musicians to find the pure essence of music with them. Together, they wander off the beaten track and rediscover purity by experimenting with (high end) sounds and vintage instruments. Part of the project are a.o. Mathias Eick, Phill Brown, James Marsh, Bob Ludwig and many more...
Baudouin de Jaer's approach gives a new dimension to the works of 20th century's major artists. He had not been previously exposed to Wölfli's work. He was completely moved by the artistic and human dimensions of the mystery surrounding this gigantic and universal body of work created within the Waldau hospital in the early 20th century. He managed what none other had accomplished before: to decode Wölfli's hermetic and emblematic scores.
Adolf Wölfli (Bern, February 29, 1864 - Waldau, November 6, 1930) - was a Swiss artist who was one of the first artists to be associated with the Art Brut or outsider art label. Wölfli was abused both physically and sexually as a child, and was orphaned at the age of 10. Institutionalized in 1895 at Waldau psychiatric asylum near Bern (Switzerland) where he spent the rest of his adult life. He suffered from psychosis, which led to intense hallucinations. Wölfli started drawing in 1899, but no work prior to 1904 has been preserved. In 1908, Wölfli started developing what would become a potentially endless narrative stretched across 25,000 pages interrupted only by Wölfli's death in 1930. His images also incorporated an idiosyncratic musical notation. This notation seemed to start as a purely decorative affair but later developed into real composition which Wölfli would play on a paper trumpet. After his death the Adolf Wölfli Foundation was formed to preserve his art for future generations. Today its collection is on display at the Museum of Fine Arts in Bern and can be seen in many museums in the world.
Until Monday all Bruce Springsteen live concert releases are half price. There are 152 to choose from, from throughout his career. These are not bootlegs but are officially sanctioned releases. This one cost me $5 for three hours music. See here

"Kuniko Plays Reich". I'd be surprised if this outstanding album hasn't been recommended before. Deservedly in the top 20 eMusic downloads.
From 1981 on Horace Tapscott's Nimbus West label. Became aware of this when I saw a new vinyl release coming up
Stumbled on this, sounds great
