Oh, and on the new-agey-ness... guess where I got the second line in my sig from?

I received an email from Rossbin stating that the discs were being mailed. Thanks for telling, John! It's been 24 hours now that I sent the money, so I hope I'll get a message pretty soon, too!

Did you at least awake refreshed? Cold Blue I googled and found it myself. Obviously no metal, but what IS it? Mood music? Bubbling electronica? Those write ups sound quite new-agey, and I don't know any of the artists involved, so... please enlighten me! No comment So my notion *was* right, in the end? Go for Ludwig Van for lashings of the ultraviolent! Guess there's not the slightest need in ordering any of the blue stuff, yes? Though what 7/4 wrote makes them sound a little less bad...

Very nice read, that article. Thanks for sharing! Is there any book with photos of Levey? Or at least some "famous" album covers he did? I think the Getz West Coast 3CD set has some great b/w photos of Levey, but that's all I can think of right now.

On Futura/Marge: anyone read this? http://futuramarge.free.fr/fr/edito.htm

wtf is "cold blue"? some hard rock double delta label? From the Enjas, the Minafra looks nice. Biondini is good, but I have no idea who that sax player is. *** I gave the Sugimoto/Krebs and the Beins a thought, too! Tell me how they are once you get them, John! Does one get any other mail from the fellas, or just the PayPal one? I have only gotten the PayPal message that I sent the money, not heard anything else. ubu

"our ur" sounds remarkable! The other one you didn't order is the one Nate recommended a few pages up. Which is the third you ordered? Or did you order only two?

Let us know what you think! I've got three of those en route to me now, too. Three of those on my list? if so, as you have "luwa", you ordered the Curran, too? Got some tape or minidisc with some performance of his Simphonia or what it's called, though it has been long since I had that in my hands... can't remember if/how much I liked it.

just ordered the following four Rossbins: NMperign/Günter Müller: "More gloom, more light" Kawasaki / Akiyama / Kahn: "Luwa" Assumed Possibilities: "Still Point" Alvin Curran / Domenico Sciajno: "our ur" Hope I'll like them! Thanks to double delta, John B and Nate for recommending the first three, the fourth I'll have to blame myself if I don't like it... ubu

Could have gotten the Actis Dato birds disc in that sale, but a short listen did not do much for me... maybe I was wrong? You have it?

Le 13 ventôse II, Saint-Just déclare à la tribune de la Convention : « Le bonheur est une idée neuve en Europe. »

had to delete the last post, the images do not show really... go here to have a look at some other goggomobils - these are a bit more special. Check the pickup for laughs! and what makes them special? first of all the coolest name ever for cars, no?

nothing beats a goggomobil:

I made a few remarks about the BFT thing getting too fast for my liking in the past, but that was mostly because the answers were posted merely a day or so after I'd had a chance to finally spin the disc(s), not because the discs came in too fast - what I would prefer is more time with the discs, not longer waits between. I know how much work it is to put a BFT together, but I and several others have asked to be moved up a few places when it became obvious that it would be a hassle otherwise. No offense, Rooster, but that's what I think you ought to have done - it seems there's always someone who's waiting for his turn and has the discs done, already, thus, imho this should be sort of a "standard procedure" in case someone cannot pull it through in time (a week or two of waiting is still "in time" in my book). And again, this has nothing to do with the span the discussion is open!

Hey ghost, how was it? I only now saw this thread - I'm a big fan of Hoagy's Pacific album and several of his movie appearances (in my book he won the oscar for best ever performance as a bar pianist in Hawks' "To Have and Have Not", and he's great next to Kirk Douglas in that Bix biopic, too).

love "Large aluminium"! Hey Al, time for a new alias? Large one laffs!

Enjoy the Clayton! It's one of the very few Mosaics I have on LP. Fantastic stuff, all round!

maybe you're right... if I want to know more, some day, I'll drop you a PM.

Rod, thanks for your post! Maybe I'm just too young to get the fluxus movement, maybe I'm too... categorical? I don't know. I'll keep trying, though. (Just please spare me any more Yoko Ono videos and similar crap!) Of course I don't know the names you mention (ok, Paik yes, but none else), but maybe I should give another try, soon. Any suggestions for books? (I suppose it's not something to put into books, but then, what other possibility does one have with things - at least partially - past?)

yes indeed!

just listening to the first cut now! thanks a lot for sharing these, Dan & Jim!

Those are both really inexpensive through Screwgun. The Empire box is on sale for $6 a disc ($30) and the Bloodcount box is $28 for 3 discs or, if you buy all three Bloodcount releases, $40 for 5 discs. Not too shabby. Yes, I'm aware of this - really good prizes, indeed! Anyone here familiar with "Ogloudoglou", the duo of drummer Michael Kiedaisch and singer Frank Wörner? Heard a broadcast of them interpreteing Scelsic, Cage, Billone and Xenakis. Maybe this goes beyond the rat's scope, but hey, we've discussed anything from Jelly Roll to da shit, so why not this!

"Science Friction" and "Open/Coma" are the only officially released Berne discs I have, so far, but I think both are excellent! Just to add my opinion on Berne. I'll have to pick up both his box set offerings, some day! I definitely want to hear more!
