    @confused I listened to a bunch of his other ones some years back and came back to liking Mizuumi best - the others did not stick with me. The Resting Bell stuff is all free to download. I dunno, try Tokyo Morning Loop?
    Thanks, as I expect to be in the letter S for a while I'll do a bit more exploring. Free is always good so I'll start with Tokyo and then do some sampling at Bandcamp. Thanks for the suggestion, anyone else?

  • @Lowlife and djh - you have reminded of the mid 80s and Kings Cross area. I did a Masters at the Institute of Education (off Russell Square) for a year commuting from Peterborough. I remember some great pubs in that area near the station, even heard a few decent bands too. Now we come into St Pancras Station next door, totally different area now. Can't see me getting the train to London for a while though...

    Glad to help! Yes a very changed area. To be honest some good and some bad things. It is a bit funny that they now have a "cultural hub" with Kings Place, which I enjoy. But OTOH the rest of the area now seems totally devoid of culture having been given over to bland corporate mega-stores, despite a branch of St Martin's Art College being there.  C'est La Vie and so forth. "Culture" and "scuzzy" apparently don't mix.
  • For the experimentally inclined, this is new out on 901 editions and well worth a listen. Quite thought-provoking.
    A Jisei is one of the death poems belonging to Japanese tradition, sometimes referred to as the last words, the last images or the last sounds before the farewell. Jisei is composed of fragments, memories, field recordings, explorations on emptiness and objects having personal meanings. The album is informed by dusty impressions as if they were brushes creating forms which disappear as they take shape. Each track on Jisei is infused with restraint and stillness.

    Guindani created an immersive space of meditation, crafted in a time span of several days, where gestures instinctively occurred in the present moment without judgment or hesitation. The intangible forms Jisei is forged with remind of life’s fragility, bringing profound sensitivity and faint traces...

    Etienne Jaumet - 8 Regards Obliques

    From Sun Ra with “Nuclear war”, Miles Davis in “Shhh / Peaceful” or “Theme from a symphony” by Ornette Coleman to “Caravan” (already quoted by many jazzmen), Etienne enjoyed revisiting classic jazz masterpieces and paying tribute to his inspirations. He allowed himself only one personal and original composition, “Ma révélation mystique”.

    Early recordings from the time when they . . .
    I remember one of their first shows in Copenhagen where they brought drill hammers  and started to break down the stage at the venue, in an anarchistic house called Ungdomshuset (The Youth House)

    Now, who would have thought that the artist would chose to present himself like this:

    Nevertheless, some very nice Dick Dale'ish twang sort of stuff.
