Just Wondering
Feb. 8th, 2017 01:05 pmWould you rather spend the weekend camping in the woods or at a luxury hotel?
Given the choice, would you start this day over again? How about this month or this year?
Did you ever say anything to someone in anger that you lived to regret? Did you apologise? If so, did it bring you closer?

Being an unrepentant Charmed fanatic there has been some development on the so-called reboot of the series. Basically the CW plans to set it in the seventies with new actors has backfired on them bad the date of doing the show has been delayed till 2018 and it seems that the company has taken notice of fans' disgust of not having any of the original cast members.

Why Did The CW Postpone New 'Charmed' Episodes? Fans May Already Know The Answer

It would further the cause of having the original cast back as they are all up for it and now that it is on hold till 2018 this will allow Shannen's recovery from cancer to come back into the series, albeit she did die as Prudence in Season 3 but like grams and their mum could comeback as a ghost to start with. Anyway,the sighs are positive.

Colder Day
Feb. 8th, 2017 09:37 pmIt has been a much colder day than recently so me and my neighbour, Andy,shared a large pot of beef Lancashire hot pot with mashed potatoes. It was very warming. He has one of these slow cookers and it had been simmering most of the day.

Christian Fennesz - Transit (David Sylvian - voice)
From the CD "Venice"
Fennesz burst upon the scene with 'Instrument' [Mego, 1995], applauded by The Wire for his: 'takes some skillful manipulation to simultaneously tug those heartstrings and poke them with tiny pins' [Nick Phillips, City Pages, USA]
- Fourth studio album by Christian Fennesz, following the successful 'Endless Summer' [Mego, 2001], which sold over 20,000 copies.
- His most accessible works to date, this marks the crossroads between electronic music? early status as digital subculture and it's emotional quality towards melody and rapture.
- Artwork & Photography by Jon Wozencroft [6 panel digipak]
- Collaboration with David Sylvian [Mego] on 'Transit''
Reviews for This Release:
"?seems to drift as you are going into yourself in a state of dreamworld and somewhat melancholy and then rises to somethines-spectacular explosions of hectic organ droned electronic noises." - Eleanor Jones (Rant)
"There's a certain dark quality to it, yet beautiful and mesmerising , it's one to close your eyes to and picture beautiful landscapes." - Eleanor Jones (Rant)
"Manipulates blizzards of statick drone for meditative, occasionally rockish ends, fragments of melody threaded through the abstraction. It's also hymanely crafted with a warmth unsusual in the avant-garde." - Uncut
"...unique technique and production alue, which many are trying to copy" - Wire
"LIVE REVIEW OF CORNET GIG
"...Next to test the Coronet?s fabulous soundsystem is Fennesz who apparently takes a second of My Bloody Valentine and extends it over half an hour with the aid of extensive diamond-hard abrasively digital distortion. Although painfully loud within the speaker-surrounded main floor, there?s something ineffably soothing about having your cochlea pierced in this manner".
http://www.playlouder.com/feature/+fo..." - http://www.playlouder.com
""Though Venice offers the intrigue of ?experimental? music, it is also melodic and easily digestible - it isn?t lazily provocative, difficult or abrasive but utterly lovely." ***"" - Dave Hemingway (Record Collector)
""Ambient hasn?t had much of a profile since the early Nineties, when Aphex Twin was soldering together his homemade gear and making electronica without repetitive beats was a political act. Now we have ?intelligent dance music? (aka ?glitch? etc), an umbrella term for digital composition that shuns the straitjacket of song in favour of crackle and fizzes that, in the right hands, become emotive soundscapes. Few have abler hands than Christian Fennesz, whose latest album takes up where 2001?s Endless Summer left off. His warm drones, ebbing analogues and dysfunctional digitals recall the sublime bliss-outs of My Bloody Valentine as much as they suggest ghosts in the modern machine. It?s deeply lovely; and for variety, David Sylvian sings on one track, returning the production favour Fennesz did for him on his last record"" -
Kitty Empire (The Observer)
""Venice layers great plains of sound in a manner that?s likely to cause poetic ramblings in reviews with far higher word limits... unavoidable."" - Buzz
""Gorgeous digital etherealism from Vienna"" - Uncut Magazine
( More Fennesz )
This is just a sample of the widescreen vistas that he imbues into his ouvre.||heck him out and bliss out.
