"Matinee" was one of first things I searched for when I was checking out eMu, and one of my first DLs. Well, I see that Jack and his label are gone now...!
Sohrab was born in Tehran in 1984. He was seven when the Iran-Iraq war ended. His name, from an old poem called 'Shahname', means 'rouge water', which can also mean 'blood'. He started a punk band with his brother and a friend, which lasted about two years before splitting. Sohrab is totally isolated in Iran, with little or no connection to what is happening there. Sohrab is, like so many, displaced within his own country and occupies a similar internal cultural isolation. This is suggested by Jon Wozencroft's imagery and artwork; looking in through shattered glass and an air of menace underneath the surface.
He recently performed live at Berghain for a Touch night, with Fennesz, Hildur Gudnadottir and others. It was his first legal gig since a performance by his punk band was broken up by the police in Tehran...
He is currently seeking status as a political refugee...
Even with the $3 coupon, this was still $6 ... but oh so good. David Byrne must envy Klucevsek's ability to mix styles and improvise. Plus, John Hollenebeck's drumming is awesome. Of all of Tzadik's more "ethnic" releases, this is the best I've heard.
Took about 2 months, but this freebie from Guvera is finally complete. Time to subject myself to the entire 2 disc. To be honest, I had no clue "Comfortably Numb" was off The Wall.
bn, can you comment on the Massey? Frisell in 1981 - is he prominent? I definitely enjoy his nascent guitar sonics on Arild Andersen's A Molde Concert from the same year.

- I don't know, I noticed it in todays freshly ripped because of the label and Bill Frisell. The RICHTER 858 is really a fantastic album. (my first Frisell album so far)

Craig's got me digging old Replacements albums out of storage.
Doofy - If he keeps writing songs like "Let's All Die" he can stay bummed out as long as he wants!

"Second Minute or Hour" is one of the greatest workout songs ever...for Jack too, apparently! UK people, where is he in this video?
Now:
I've seen both of these guys live in the last year or two...Paquito was fantastic, Arturo phoned it in.

So wonderfully off kilter.
