The Tierkreis pieces are precisely notated. Does it say which 3 pieces they play?

a new Kraftwerk disc.

I don't think any of those guys did any albums with the 8-Bit Operators.

uh, oh...

uhh...what's an "aficiando"?

Yeah, but Sanity Stomp, like Coyne himself was a real bi-polar affair - I mean, half of the 2 LPs are with The Ruts(!!!) as backup band. Coyne himself admitted to having a nervous breakdown during the time of this recording. Someone who's a (typical) fan of the Mantler stuff may have some issues with The Ruts. BTW: there is a song on the more contemplative LP (disc 2 - or the second half on the CD) called "In Silence." ® --- Now playing: Tony Conrad with Faust - From the Side of Woman and Mankind

Silence and The Hapless Child were definitely a couple of goodies, but, actually, you already have Coyne's best LP in Marjory Razorblade. His best sides were the dozen or so that he did for Virgin, but not all were winners. After that period in the 70's, I couldn't continue listening to him regularly because his output became too erratic - much of this due to his life being (or becoming?) a real mess. Not really much of anything you could call jazz with these sides, but you can cherish "Silence" as the great LP that it is.

The "extremely popular" was in Japan. The American interest is still a bit cultish. • ...but tonight, I went up to look at the discs. It was pretty much a slow gait up and down about 4 aisles and that was it... Right now, I can peer over my right shoulder and see more CDs than what was in that store. It's a dead item. Bought a book by André Breton and left.

...and, boy, is it butt ugly! ®

oooh sheesh - i know who that is on the left and he's looking a little older than when I took some lessons from him in the early 70's... BTW: how was the show? ®

I reiterate.... Manga is an extremely popular form of Japanese comics that took off in Japan just after WWII and caught on in America around the early 80's. ®

Yup! That's it. The McKinney & Lemmon store. I still get my magazines there, but the upstairs is only good for sitting in comfy chairs in the art dept. Like Jim said last year, the stores are turning to these machines that make discs and covers for you. Hasn't happened at this particular store yet, but a new one that opened in Allen (IIRC) advertises one of those "kiosks." I'm running out of places to spend some comfort time at night near the "Cosmic Cafe."

Borders has become the new Tower for me on those late nights after dinner out. The local store now closes at 10 instead of 11 and the upper floor's CD collection (which wasn't all the great anyway) has dwindled to piddle. Still, I'll attempt to see what's left and make a go of it. Manga has taken over here too (about a decade or so too late), but I think Borders would be the last place to buy it. R

Poet Sylvia Plath's Son Commits Suicide "The son of poet Sylvia Plath followed in his famous mother's tragic footsteps by committing suicide. Nicholas Hughes, 47, hanged himself at his home in Fairbanks, Alaska, on Monday, March 16, the Associated Press reports a week later. His death comes 46 years after his mother committed suicide and nearly 40 years after his stepmother, Assia Wevill, did the same..." <more at link>

Yes, of course, a very limited readership for this kind of thing, but for those that are interested, it really covers a nice variety of perspectives with lots of score fragments, illustrations, as well as TWO CDs worth of pieces as audio signposts. Covering composition, performance, improvisation, and other areas while doing so in a rather easy (but not simplistic) presentation. Composers such as Dumitrescu, Avram, Murail, and others discuss their music and composition methods.

Thanks Paul! Nice to now have a chance to get a clean copy of these. (as a download too - this may be my first!) ®ø∂

Aaaaah, OK, I see. I think yer right about it showing up on that set for the first time. Not sure that I've ever seen it on CD.

Are you excited because you've actually found the single? Those tunes have been available on the Milestone 2-LP called "The Many Faces of Yusef Lateef" which may not be all that difficult to find. ®
