This is a compilation of some of the best reimagined sounds from the
Cities and Memory project during 2018 - the original field recordings
upon which each is based are included as bonus tracks.
The Residents, long known as the world’s most mysterious and reclusive band, are pleased to announce a new chapter in their lengthy and legendary career. Teaming up with PledgeMusic, the group is releasing not just a new album but a completely new concept: I Am A Resident. After inviting their fans to create original versions of the band’s songs, The Residents were blown away by the submission of 197 amazing pieces of music. Stimulated by this outpouring of creativity, the group molded this material into the ultimate mashup: editing, looping, over dubbing and regurgitating, The Residents reinterpreted their fans’ interpretations, resulting in layer on top of layer on top of layer. Hauntingly familiar and achingly wrong at the same time, I Am A Resident is both original and completely unexpected. It also only fits into one singular category — a Residents’ album.

Well I suppose this is probably cheating as I might not be actually listening to all these again right now, but I enjoyed them so much I want to make sure they get added to my lastfm. Walt Dickerson 1962 - Relativity 1962 - To My Queen 1964 - Plays Unity 1968 - Vibes In Motion
Jonathan Bepler, a composer who has worked
largely on dramatic/cinematic scores, was a guitarist / instrument tuner
for Glenn Branca's Ensemble beginning in 1985 and running through 1996.
While
his largest claim to fame is most likely his contribution of soundtrack
material for the latter 4 of the 5 Cremaster Cycle films of Matthew
Barney (all save Cremaster 4), he has also sung title roles in operas,
supervised sound installations, taught music, collaborated with
choreographers, and composed scores for dozens of other films.
Ellen Fullman, long string instrument
David Gamper, natural flutes, bells, conch, melodica and electronics
Stuart Dempster, didjeridu and trombone
released October 7, 2018

Irresistible fun, especially the Socialist anthem 'O Tannenbaum'. Play it at your Christmas party and baffle your guests

Very very nice. Picked up from Ted Gioia's list, where it's described as 'Genre-Defying Jazz/R&B Fusion from South Africa'
