Listening to that ^^^^^. Or at least more or less. I've got a playlist with 23 new to newish tracks, and another one with 152 tracks. So something might overlap. There's just so much! I honestly haven't even given a solid listen to everything in the 152 yet...
Thanks bn! I've been curious about this for a long long time, but somehow never could convince my self to buy it. Free seems the right price for Plunderphonics.
"Dagmar Krause (born 4 June 1950) is a German singer, best known for her work with avant-garde rock groups like Slapp Happy, Henry Cow and Art Bears. She is also noted for her coverage of songs by Bertolt Brecht, Kurt Weill and Hanns Eisler. Her unusual singing style makes her voice instantly recognisable and has defined the sound of many of the bands she has worked with."

I am finally getting near the end of sifting all these huge Future Sequence compilations, boiling them down to the tracks I really like and deleting the rest. It's yielded a nice series of normal-length very good albums of hand-picked tracks.
I've actually been doing a fair bit of deleting. There is a lot of very average music from free compilations and netlabel finds on my hard drive and I want to remove the future obligation to listen to it again to see if I like it. I have so much music and life is too short.
There is actually quite a bit of stuff there that if I just got someone to delete it wholesale I would not miss it because perhaps only once on a rainy afternoon in 2019 between cups of tea would I ever remember that it was there. But I can't quite bring myself to delete wholesale without a listen to check if it was good. Which is why I need to protect myself from doing that over and over...

Yes - I do know Grayfolded; I haven't listened to it in a while, I should pull it out sometime.
ETA: bn, you should check out this Feldman piece if you haven't yet; it's very nice.
Just been playing Hard Day's Night in the car. Back home I'm about to move onto this, reminded of it by a very similar cover above.
I am really not sure how I got this image into a second comment box! I also cannot get rid, or copy my comments from above to put into this box1
