  1. some dudes with many consonants and funny letters:

    Iancsi Körössy

    Andrzej Trzaskowski

    Krzysztof Komeda

    and in honour of his recent death and also because he's da shit if you find him playing piano:

    Andrzej Kurylewicz

    there's more but with less consonants and funny letters.

  2. these wind machines are by Theo Jansen

    another dutch guy, Gerrit van Bakel has been building moving artwerks/machines that, instead of the fast wind, use the energy of day/night, summer/winter, dry/wet changes. His Tarim machine is made to move 18mm per day and designed to cross the Tarim basin (Takla Makan desert) in 36 million years. So the old man will have to tell his grandson to tell his grandson to move the house a little as the machine will be passing by in a couple of centuries.

  3. You're quite right with your name-dropping... but the difficulty is to attach the right names to the wrong tunes...

    hmm, right name, wrong title... let's see... track 4 is by W. 'M.' Ng. and titled "roaring Bullfrog", track 12 is by the B.N.'s and titled "Purple Andrew", track 13 is the A.J.P.'s and titled "don't look!"

    or did you have something different in mind?

  4. As I will be away next week and need to take care of some things before I leave, I doubt I will be able to post detailed comments, but just a few jots here to leave my general impression. Which is good. This is nice & lively stuff, some of it more high-life than jazz, some of it a bit "primitive" in theme or execution, and some of it too smooth to convey its deeper joy to me. Anyhow, my guess is that the theme is South African jazz with Ibrahim on several tracks and I think Dudu is there and the Blue Notes and Kippie and whom have you. Good and enjoyable disk all in all, so here's to hoping I do find the time to make some detailed comments soon.

  5. The question is: Why isn't this stuff available here directly from Universal? :angry:

    Sort of like saying, "I like cocaine. Why isn't the local pharmacy allowed to stock it? If they aren't allowed to sell it, I will get it from the people who do sell it."

    you mean there is a law that forbids Universal to re-issue this?
