Jun. 8th, 2006 10:41 amOKAY back to ze playlist and these are the recent spins since last time,some are new others are older and rediscoveries.As usual eclectic. Blame THE WIRE mag for that.
1/ Juana Molina - Son (Domino 2006 CD)
2/ David Sylvian - Alchemy,An Index of Possibilites (Virgin 2003 CD) - a reissue.
3/ Susanna And The Magical Orchestra - Lists of Lights and Buoys (Rune Grammofon CD)
4/ Simon Fisher Turner - Lana Lara Lata (Mute CD/DVD 2005)
5/ Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - B Sides And Rarities (Mute 2005 CDx3)
6/ Kate Bush - Aerial (EMI 2005 CDx2)
7/ The New Blockaders - 2oth Antiversary Wreckordings (4xCD Gesamtnichtswerk CD4)
8/ Scott Walker - The Drift (4AD 2006 CD)
9/ John Casken - Cello Concerto (Collins Classics 1993 Cd single)
10/ Lowell Fulson _ My Early Recordings (Arhoolie CD 1997)
11/ James MacMillan - Symphony "Vigil" (BIS CD 1997)
12/ John Zorn - Godard / Spillane (Tzadik 1999 CD) - anothetr reissue of two earlier pieces.
The John Casken CD single was a recent find in London for £1,and now is my third Collins Classic single - the others being Harrison Birtwitle's "Earth Dances" and Robert Saxton's "In The Beginning".I think they produced six in total and then promptly deleted them. Only NMC and Elektra Nonesuch produced CD singles which in the classical world is a rare beast indeed,and a s far as i know,NMC are the only company still doing them. Contemporary classical music i think such as these mentioned are well suited to the format and should be encouraged. THe Kronos Quartet did 4 such singles,and i have one by George Benjamin on Nimbus "Piano Sonata" - which is excellent.
