Howdy. I've seen your av around a bunch (it's hard to miss) and only now checked out your collection. Really interesting stuff you have here. I read your bit about the Mingus album. I've been just discovering him these past few weeks. Let My Children Hear Music is the one I keep coming back to. But I will check out The Black Saint... as well. Cheers.

Yeah man, just needed a little fix. Anyway, cool that you're chatting with Dam Funk. You should interview him for your blog man. That's what you should do with contacts like that. If you don't want to put it on your blog, we'd happily put it up on SBBS (written by you of course!)

Excellent, thank you! I'll upload some Ligeti for you soon (with accurate tagging!). His orchestral works are just amazing. You might recognise some of it from The Shining and 2001: A Space Odyssey. And for the lulz, check out this piece of he wrote for 100 metronomes. The concept: each metronome is set to play for a certain length of time--each one at a different tempo--and all of them are set off simtaneously, so that eventually, there will only be one left ticking at the end. It's quite amusing. Also, unlike most composers, he looks extremely cool. http://userserve-ak.last.fm/serve/_/15648909/Gyrgy+Ligeti.jpg

The third track really sounds like it would fit onto an old Faust album, proably because of Zappi's presence on percussion. And WHAT, Reich and LIGETI? I need to get this right now. The only composer I like more than György Ligeti is John Cage. He's very different from Reich (most people know his work from Kubrick films; it's incredibly atmospheric and ambient), so it should be interesting to hear how their styles merge.

This is crazy. People talk about Steve Reich being hypnotic (which I won't and can't deny), but this is really doing it for me right now. Check it out of you're in the mood for some abstract and obscure minimalism! 'Jam Jem Jim Jom Jum' is fantastic. It's just three people chanting over some sparse piano chord phrasings, but it really works very well.
