[journal] December 27, 2004 at 12:50:00 PM CET Private announcement I'll be away for the next two weeks, Catherine and I are flying to Lanzarote tomorrow morning. Therefore don't expect any updates around here. In the meantime you can check the blogroll. I have the feeling that I will dig deeper into non-rock music next year. Right now I am intrigued by the Aussie improv band The Necks (two mp3s of their last release are over at one faint deluded smile). Instrumental music on the fringes of modern classical, minimal, jazz, ambient and I do not know what. They are a three piece unit with piano, drums and bass. The only comparisons I can come up with are fellow countrymen The Dirty Three (but more experimental and less tuneful) and Oregon (with less world music influence). After the few things I heard The Necks to me seem like one of the most ECM-sounding bands which are not on the label. Another release I am very much interested in is the La Monte Young and Marian Zazeela collaboration The Tamburas of Pandit Pran Nath which I discovered in the recent ILM ambient and drone thread: the young / zazeela tamburas record -- well it's just 74 minutes of them playing tamburas. no melody, no progress, just that sound. you can hear the microvariations of human playing, the sound never changes but is always changing, sends me into orbit within 10 seconds of being on.
Other bands I don't know yet but should check which are more on the noisy side of the musical spectrum are the latest albums of The Boredoms (2004's #1 chez Marcello) from Nippon and Pan Sonic (Nick Gutterbreakz #1) from Suomi.

Enjoy your time in the sun! I look forward to reading your musings in the new year, I really do. I might even start my own bloggie somewhere soon, not sure whether it'll be in english though... If you're interested in the latest Boredoms, drop me an e-mail and we'll work something out. In 2005, of course :-) ... link ... comment |
