Re: what are we listening to today?
hmmm....
This is fun to hear - I've gotten a lot of good suggestions from these
posts, now if only I had the money to buy some of them...
my pile of CDs near the CD player is the following:
Squarepusher-Big Loada (the american version with the Port Rhombus EP
tagged on the end : for when I want to get hyper. It's his best on the
more
electronic side I think - wow...)
Kronos Quartet - Early Music (it's a burned copy, so I can't remember
if
that's the real title. It's a fantastic disc and great working music...
some actual rennaisance music, and some new composers suggesting early
musics)
Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works Vol.2 (very nice... I once drove
through far northern Wisconsin in thick fog with this double disc playing
in
my car, perhaps one of the most wonderful musical experiences I've ever
had.)
Astor Piazzolla - Octeto Buenos Aires (one of his first nuevo-tango
recordings, I think. Fifties recording quality, wild music... it's
great!)
Steve Earle with the Del McCoury Band - The Mountian (can't miss with
this one... I like the title track a lot. 'course you gotta be some kind
of country fan to like this stuff, but it's good...)
Isreal Vibration - Isreal Dub (mmmm... nice chill-out sounds. probably
the closest to loop content. I can't believe the dub pioneers made these
sounds in the 70s.... ahead of their time, for sure, and it rocks
hardcore.)
Georgy Ligeti - Piano Works (from the Sony series... good stuff,
killer
performances. although it includes his Ricercata thing which I'm not as
much a fan of as his etudes... I'm still looking around for a recording of
his double concerto for flute and oboe that I heard once on CD at a music
library - beautiful.)
Ikue Mori - One Hundred Aspects of the Moon (there is one track on this
Cd that I have to listen to every couple weeks or I will die. It's the one
with the vocal melody - and the last track is very pretty too. Amazing
what
she can do with this "obsolete" equipment.)
My own stuff - while mixing (I'm very self-absorbed and I actually
listen to my own music more than other people's. Hey, if I didn't like it,
why would I make it?)
okay, I'll go back to lurking... hope this wasn't too long. sorry that
there's not much loop content in my list, but I have other interests,
too...
