audio arts / orchard gallery LP





i discovered this lp a couple of years ago at a friend's place and liked a lot its concept of in situ field recordings and their manipulation afterwards.

scans included too but if you want just a simple info / track listing visit here

dimitri mitropoulos - scriabin 'poem of ecstasy / poem of fire'






i was unaware of the master mitropoulos's LP of scriabin's 'poem of ecstasy / poem of fire' to be honest or at least i hadn't paid the necessary attention to it earlier. i only had the stokowski version on everest of poem of ecstasy and svetlanov's version of the 1966 melodya lp w/ an impressive version of rachmaninoff's 'isle of the dead'. but mitropoulos's LP unfolds a completely diffent universe compared to the other 2 LPs that makes it a devastating LP! no words to describe it, just listen & experience it!

i got acquained with idiotsavant's sound thanks to this mini LP back in early 90's upon visiting a friend's place to listen to some musics. still love it. can't say the same for their rest records but this one remains a trully fave one.

sadly my copy misses the inserts so just front/back & sound @ 320 mp3 and infos pasted from disgogs.

cecil taylor 'nuits de la fondation maeght' 3LP box (shandar)



for trully loooooong i wasn't keen on cecil taylor's work. perhaps because i was (and still am) allergic to piano but some exceptions or rock tracks.
i only had the monstrous 'winged serpent' and 'conquistador' since early 90's in my collection till last year that did i chance upon the thread on the skafunkrastapunk forum and downloaded a couple of albums like the unit's 'akisalakila', 'nefertiti', etc and was totally blown by them! long story to cut it short here and explain why, etc.. the thing is his music, etc..

being nuts w/ his work started -as you can guess- downloading and then buying the ones i love the most.. such as this gem the 3ple lp box on shandar. no comments on it, i totally love it including once more a stellar line up such as

cecil taylor : piano, voice
sam rivers : tenor sax
jimmy lyons : alto sax
andrew cyrille : drums

rcorded live on 29 July 1969 at saint-paul-de-vence,paris.

it's only one simple track in 6 parts

anna planeta 2cd (betley welcomes careful drivers)



betley welcomes careful drivers (a.k.a. the brainchild of phil todd alias 'ashtray navigations' and many other disguises such as dogliveroil, tea culture, etc) is one of my favest lo-fi noise labels. not only because of one of my favest projects ever, ashtray navigations but for many releases it brought to daylight.

anna planeta being one of them. recorded in an abandoned building by phil todd, andy jarvis, dan bird, harrased by the neighbours who called the police at some point thinking that a 'satanic mass' was taking place in the building is an intense lo-fi recording sometime thanks to its nature bringing in mind the work of projects like metgumbnerbone whose lp on a-mission was also recorded in the ruins of an abandoned industry at least to mention one.

was pretty funny too when a couple of years ago since the 2cd set's release i accidentallly chanced upon the project's name, being one of the female characters of dusan makavejev's cult 'sweet movie' film (you can download it here & you can check & donwnload (not sure but seems is 192kbps) infos on manos hadjidakis's incredible soundtrack here)

phil also has some very few remaining copies of the anna planeta 2cd set. you can ask him for price, availability, etc not only for the memorable anna planeta but also for various other remaining betleys but also for ashtray navigations and related ones!

so 'welcome to hell'... (mp3@320)

bela bartok 'the miraculous mandarin / music for strings, percussion and celeste' (decca lp 1964?)




i can't recall the blog where i tracked down first the 'music for instruments...' piece a couple of years ago but it was of those bartok pieces that i fell in love with upon first listening... i was also curious on the 'miraculous mandarin' piece too and it was a few months ago when during an accidental but usual ebay buy that i cahnced upon this lp.. classic things.. 1 euro auction ending.. 7 euros postage...

i like a lot this lp, to be honest in general i love a lot the 50's / 60's interpretations of contemporary / classical pieces (well some classical mostly contemporary) as were more liberal times they are or at least sound to me more open minded, etc... perhaps is my dillusion.

for the record though you can check the back cover... is georg stolti conducting the london symphony orchestra. 1964 on decca.

enjoy!!! (vinyl rip @ flac)
