jazzy_daveTalking of sonorities -
King Crimson - Islands
Probably the best band use of the mellotron as a musical instrument and not a special effect. All performances here are filled with emotion -- Mark Charigs cornet -- its sadness quite stunning -- Ian Wallace's creative & accurate, lightly touched drums, the thin, but effective Boz Burrell vocals, jazz musician Keith Tippett's gentle piano (husband of Julie Tippett who worked with Brian Auger as Julie Driscoll). This music -- after King Crimson gave us "21st Century Schizoid Man," and "Epitapth," is incredible. Of course, if you still want that "Sailor's Tale" on this album will peel back your skin.
The Necks - Buoyant
Nanook Of The North - Arfineq Pingajuat
Offered to live soundtrack a film of their choice by the Sopot film festival near their home city of Gdansk, renowned Polish musicians Stefan Wesolowski and Piotr Kalinski chose 'Nanook' as their source material, leading the pair to travel to Iceland to capture some of the Great White North's essential vibrations that haunt and seep through the images of Flaherty's seminal documentary.
Bill Orcutt - The World Without Me
Bill Orcutt formerly of band Harry Pussy.
Jandek - I'm Ready
Philip Glass - Pruit Igoe
Pruitt–Igoe was a large urban housing project first occupied in 1954 in the U.S. city of St. Louis, Missouri. Living conditions in Pruitt–Igoe began to decline soon after its completion in 1956. By the late 1960s, the complex had become internationally infamous for its poverty, crime, and segregation. Its 33 buildings were demolished with explosives in the mid-1970s, and the project has become an icon of urban renewal and public-policy planning failure.
Enjoy.
