I have been enjoying this one for the past week. As a tentet, it has an orchestra flavor. If it's still up on Spotify, I recommend that you give it a listen.

Thanks, guys!

RareNoiseRecords Presents OBAKE with DRAUGR The Third Album. The First To Hit The US! CD, VINYL (33RPM) AND MULTIPLE DIGITAL FORMATS AVAILABLE IN STORES AND ONLINE ON OCTOBER 28, 2016 AND THROUGH WWW.RARENOISERECORDS.COM. Eraldo Bernocchi guitars Lorenzo Esposito Fornasari ("LEF") voice, guitars Colin Edwin electric bass Jacopo Pierazzuoli drums ABOUT THE LABEL - RareNoiseRecords was founded in 2008 by two Italians, entrepreneur Giacomo Bruzzo and music producer Eraldo Bernocchi. Located in London, the label's mission is to detect and amplify contemporary trends in progressive music, by highlighting their relation to the history of the art-form, while choosing not to be bound by pre-conceptions of genre. It seeks to become a guiding light for all those enamored by exciting, adventurous and progressive sounds. For further information and to listen please go to www.rarenoiserecords.com. New York, September 28, 2016 - After releasing their debut album in 2011, the self-titled Obake and the follow-up Mutations in 2014 to widespread acclaim of the British and continental press, Obake are back with Draugr, which signals both a return to the origins of the band and a purification of its sound. This shift is immediately apparent in the choice of title: while the Japanese term 'obake' (お化け) signifies 'that which changes' or 'shapeshifter' or more generally 'ghost of a departed', now the chosen title for the band's third release, Draugr is a term of indo-european origin which means 'creature returning from the dead'. The compactness and formal cohesion of band and release name reflect the newly found balance in the band, now featuring their live drummer Jacopo Pierazzuoli (of Morkobot and Kings Of Fire fame), Colin Edwin on electric bass (member of Metallic Taste Of Blood with Eraldo Bernocchi and of o.R.k. with Lorenzo Esposito Fornasari), Lorenzo Esposito Fornasari on guitars and voice, and Eraldo Bernocchi on guitars. The multiplicity of collaborations between the members of Obake have enabled them to develop a compact and unique sound that is as extreme (in its doom and grindcore roots) as it is borderless (in depth explorations of ambient music accompanied by colorings of jazz, progressive rock and noise); Obake's sound brings the listener back to the roots of rock, along the way drawing vital lymph from Popol Vuh, AshRa Tempel, via Slayer, Sunn O))), Melvins and Coil. Draugr will be available in all formats (from October 28th, 2016) and will also feature a remix by renowned British breakcore artist Leon Switch. TRACKS 1. Cold Facts 2. Incineration Of Sorrows 3.

So here we are again! This year's Grand Final will see the Sydney Swans take on the Western Bulldogs. http://www.theage.com.au/afl/ I believe the game will start at 2:00 pm Saturday Melbourne time, which is 9:00 pm Friday pacific time and midnight eastern time.

Thanks very much for this, TTK! 1) It was my observation at the time that Americans who entered college in 1961 thought it was very uncool to continue to do high school things like listen to rock 'n' roll. But Americans who started college in 1965 did not feel that way. The class of '65 bought Sinatra and jazz records, but the class of '69 bought Beatles records. 2) I think the sales number of Kind of Blue doesn't mean anything, just like the sales number of Bitches Brew didn't prove anything. If in the past fifteen years the sales of '50s and '60s jazz recordings have exceeded the sales of current releases, maybe it's because not even jazz fans are particularly interested in what today's jazz musicians are doing.

By far the most popular golfer of my lifetime. RIP.

Steve Reich has been described by The Guardian as one of “a handful of living composers who can legitimately claim to have altered the direction of musical history" and as “the greatest musical thinker of our time” by The New Yorker. Reich celebrates his 80th birthday on October 3, and The ECM Recordings brings together the landmark albums Music for 18 Musicians, Music for a Large Ensemble/Violin Phase/Octet and Tehillim in a limited edition set to mark the occasion. Originally released in 1978, 1980 and 1982, each of these recordings had a decisive influence which continues to reverberate across musical idioms. The 3-CD box set includes a 44-page booklet with original liner notes by Steve Reich, a new essay by Paul Griffiths, and session photography by Deborah Feingold and Barbara Klemm. Kim Kashkashian viola / Lera Auerbach piano Armenian-American violist Kim Kashkashian, one of the major musical voices of ECM New Series, introduces a new duo with Russian composer-pianist Lera Auerbach. Their first recording together features Auerbach’s viola and piano version of Dmitri Shostakovich’s often playful 24 Preludes op. 34, and Auerbach’s own, darker, sonata for viola and piano, Arcanum. Lera Auerbach says, "Arcanum means ‘mysterious knowledge’, and I was fascinated by the inner voice within each of us, some may call it perhaps intuition, some may call it guided meditation, but there is some knowledge that we have, which we may not necessarily verbalize or rationalize, but that allows us to see the truth, to be guided, to seek answers.” Auerbach wrote her sonata for Kashkashian: “There is a quality of life-or-death-intensity to her performing, which is rare and wonderful.” Sopranos: Jaanika Kuusik, Jaanika Kilgi, Anna Mazurtšak, Eve Kopli-Scheiber / Altos: Kadri Hunt, Miina Pärn / Tenors: Mikk Dede, Anto Õnnis, Sander Pehk, Kuldar Schüts, Erik Salumäe, Endrik Üksvärav, Mikk Üleoja / Basses: Tõnis Kaumann, Taniel Kirikal, Ott Kask, Aare Külama / Jaan-Eik Tulve artistic director and conductor Mari Poll: violin / Johanna Vahermägi: viola / Heikko Remmel, Taavo Remmel: double bass / Robert Staak: lute / Toomas Vavilov: clarinet / Susanne Doll: organ The second ECM New Series album to fully showcase pure-toned Estonian vocal group Vox Clamantis is devoted to compositions by their great countryman, Arvo Pärt – whose music has been the most performed globally of any living composer over the past five years. This album – titled The Deer’s Cry after its first track, an incantatory work for a cappella mixed choir – is also the latest in an illustrious line of ECM New Series releases to feature Pärt’s compositions, the very music that inspired Manfred Eicher to establish the New Series imprint in 1984. Along with such classic works as Da pacem Domine, the new album includes first-time recordings of the a cappella pieces Drei Hirtenkinder aus Fátima and Habitare Fratres. There is also an a cappella version of Alleluia-Tropus, which Vox Clamantis previously recorded alongside instruments for the acclaimed New Series album Adam’s Lament. Rarely recorded material makes up nearly half of this new release, including three pieces with instrumental accompaniment: Von Angesicht zu Angesicht, Sei gelobt, du Baum and Veni Creator. Carolin Widmann violin / The Chamber Orchestra of Europe Violinist Carolin Widmann brings together the last major orchestral works of two German composers: Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy’s Violin Concerto op 64, celebrated from the outset as a masterpiece, and Robert Schumann’s Violin Concerto WoO 23, which had to wait for so many years to find due recognition as one of the greatest compositions of the Romantic era. Widmann leads the widely-acclaimed Chamber Orchestra of Europe in these inspired performances, recorded at Baden Baden’s Festspielhaus. Her earlier ECM recording, in 2007, of the Schumann violin sonatas received the highest international praise, including a Gramophone Award nomination and each of her releases since then – with music from Schubert to Morton Feldman, Xenakis and Tüür – has emphasized her resourcefulness. In 2013 she was named Artist of the Year at the International Classical Music Awards. ©2016 ECM | 1755 Broadway, Floor 3, New York, NY 10019
