- "I asked some friends to reinterpret Arvo Pärt compositions as if they were the soundtrack to David Lynch's first film, Eraserhead. Initially, I had the plan to present the film with these new recordings as an alternative score. But that proved untenable. After years of effort, I eventually came to the conclusion that the film score as it stands is just too good to be replaced with anything whatsoever. So I have offered up these reinterpretations as an homage, not as a replacement. Thanks to Lynch and Pärt for the inspiration. Thanks to the friends who contributed to this project. And special thanks to Sandro Perri and Matthew Collings, both of whom declined my invitation to contribute precisely because I was trying to replace an irreplaceable score. Turns out you were right, fellas. I think we made some beautiful sounds nonetheless." - C.J.
Emmylou Harris and the Nash Ramblers - Live At The Ryman. What is new and different is that I am listening to it streaming. Got a 99 cents a month trial offer from Amazon for music Unlimited, so I've crossed the divide. Actually gives me something useful to do with my cheap Fire tablet - can use it at work (hooked up to the ole stationary boombox - I still have auditory standards) to listen to all kinds of music I don't own, check out new stuff to see if it's worth consideration. Spent yesterday afternoon listening to Songs For Groovy Children by Jimi and I liked most of it - hadn't figured I needed to buy it since I have parts of it on other releases and the rest on bootlegs.
Chris Watson - The Rail Trail released January 17, 2020
From Chris Watson... The sunset had left us in limbo. Lewis and I were hanging over the reeds on a bend in Blackbutt creek. One hand grasping an overhanging branch whilst with the other I clung to Lewis by his belt as he hung out over the water arcing a microphone pole towards the source. The frog chorus picked up, our conversation ceased, and we tuned into the darkness. ... NB : All monies raised from this edition will be donated to the Australian Red Cross Disaster Relief and Recovery for the Australia Bushfires. Room40 will match all donations. It has been a hellish summer, we're glad to support the Red Cross in their efforts!

shovel snow and use the roof rake to pull some snow off of it. Brrr.
Moon Zero is the enigmatic and ethereal project of London-based Tim Garratt.
Composed and recorded entirely in churches, Moon Zero's compositions explore
the harmonic chaos of competing frequencies.
