  1. I'm slow to catch on as usual, just noticed this has been reissued and is on Dusty Groove's (USA) "Coming Soon" list Also, I finally ordered Keith Tippett's How Long This Time after fence-sitting and missing a couple of low-postage chances.
  2. This looks good, but I haven't heard it. Recently got and enjoy this (The Recursive Tree):
  3. R.I.P. I long ago considered listening to some of his operas (e.g. Lear, das Schloss, Medea) but never got around to it.😢
  4. This Renaissance polyphony disc is up for grabs, free USA postage. Mistaken purchase: I got it from BRO a few years ago but already had practically all the contents in a (very good) box set. https://www.discogs.com/release/13584233-Jacob-Obrecht-Capilla-Flamenca-Piffaro-Chansons-Songs-Motets https://www.amazon.com/OBRECHT-Chansons-Capilla-Flamenca-Piffaro/dp/B000EMT17C
  5. Thanks. Yes, Binchois Consort is excellent! I have that very album plus a few others by them on Hyperion. Many good ensembles on that label.
  6. Going to continue the polyphony binge over the weekend with this estimable set:
  7. Thanks for posting! For sure. I once had memorized extended periods of dialogue, but that's faded over the years. I've also seen all the later "mockumentaries" by the same group. Best In Show being the favorite (next to Spinal Tap, of course).
  8. Thanks, I might try that later. Also this, though "jazz" is used figuratively: But right now I'm listening to Discs 1-3 (various/Dufay, Dufay, Dufay), 4 (Binchois/Ockeghem). This is a good set.
  9. I hadn't listened to much polyphony for a long time, but something (maybe springtime?) triggered an urge, so Six discs of the box so far.
  10. The timeline isn't that clear to me. Some earlier recordings are straight-ahead, and some later works are extremely abrasive / noisy. But I'm not sure his style followed a smooth trajectory, because the dates of certain "conventional" and "weird" recordings are really close together. Granted I've so far shied away from the noisiest material such as Mass Hysterism, 😉 and don't have very many recordings.
  11. It's one of those "historically significant" albums. I got it pretty recently, am still evaluating. On first listen I was unimpressed, but am now liking it better. The album starts out as kind of straight-ahead but transitions (Free Form Suite) to exploratory and eventually outside. I'm partial to Takayanagi's late weird/noisy material, and the final track (3d movement of Free Form Suite) is very much in that wheelhouse. At this stage I'd say "interesting" rather than "essential", although that final track is really outstanding. At this point I overall prefer the Cool Jojo (straight-ahead, even Tristano style) and Takayanagi's Angry Waves 850113 (outside/noisy) albums somewhat. I don't regret getting this recording, however.
