it IS the new Dialing In record on Music Fellowship.  it's more..  "songy" than her other records..  not 100% sure how I feel about it yet, but I do think she's pretty criminally underrated..

Weis..  hit me up on email....  but yeah..  did a solo tour..  no banjo, but very guitar/vocal heavy..  went well for sure..  people seemed into it..  and I was pretty happy with my sets..  so..  there probably will be more eventually..  super busy these days tho and I probably won't be able to do anything longer than a weekend for awhile so..  probably no Chicago for a bit..  :(

oh.  scored a bunch of Gift Tapes that I don't already have on this tour..  and..  I think that label is probably the best "new new age" shit that's around right now.  a cut above for sure.

The Pink Noise:Memory Box (some great tracks on here although I love the lp on Sacred Bones even more)

Cave Dudes: First Strolls

yeah, the LP is the cream of the crop as far as the pink noise goes, though that children's hospital record is prob. my fave of the s.bones stuff.

preordered that bobby beausoleil 'lucifer rising suite' 4xLP on ajna today.  i'm ridiculously excited about it as his 'lucifer rising' release is one of my all-time faves.

...and another recent arrival in the mail: an 'invitation' asking me to pick up a non-EU package from the customs. I've been to this place before. It's at the other end of the city. To get there and back will take me about two hours and I'll be lucky if I won't have to pay import tax. I'm slowly giving up on ordering from overseas.

Got two cd's in today from Dragon's Eye Recordings.

Sublamp - Breathletters
Jamie Drouin - A Three Month Warm Up

I went crazy again last few days and the first packages are slowly coming in...

Today:

Black To Comm - Charlemagne & Pippin
Darwinsbitch - Ore
Peter Wright - Red Lion

(thanks Brad)

Emeralds - Allegory Of Allergies, 

Erstlaub - Broadcasting On Ghost Frequencies, 

Alva Noto & Ryuichi Sakamoto - utp

@James

No problem hope you enjoy it as much as I do :)

Package I go from 12K

Motion - Every Action
Fourcolor - Letter of Sounds
Steinbrüchel - Stage
Tu M' - Monochromes vol. 1

Cex "Dannible" 12" - Interesting mashup.  His role player album was my fav back in the day

Savath & Savalas "La Llama" 2LP - Pretty good, downtempo meets latin from Scott Herren

Richard Skelton's new Landings release

Amazing record that James, coming on Type at the end of the year :)

Just got through the post -

Moniek Darge - Sounds of Sacred Places LP

LOVELY.

Finally picked up that package from customs: 2hrs travel, 45 minutes waiting to learn that my package was 67 cents too expensive to be free and that I had to pay 5.77€ import tax. That's an entire morning away from work for 5.77€. Surely that's not how it's meant to be? Anyway, inside were:

Magic Lantern/Hop Frog Collective: split lp

Blue Sabbath Black Cheer: Dried Up Corpse 10"

[artist]Grouper[/artist] - Cover The Windows And The Walls
[artist]Stephan Mathieu + Taylor Deupree[/artist] - Transcriptions
[artist]Fenn O'Berg[/artist] - Magic & Return

oops...

and the story continues:

Ensemble Nipponia - Kabuki & Other Traditional Music
The National Raga Company of India - Classical Ragas of India

William Fowler Collins - Perdition Hill Radio

Grouper - Cover the windows and the walls (CD)

Jacaszek - Pentral

Kreng - L'autopsie phénoménale de Dieu

Jóhann Jóhannsson -Virdulegu Forsetar

Tu M' - Monochromes Volume 1 (Line)

Black Sabbath - Planet Caravan / Solitude (Slow To Speak)

Monolake - Atlas / Titan (Imbalance Computer Music)

Harmonia - Live 1974 (Grönland)

Various Artists - 50 ans de musique electro-acoustiques au GRM (INA GRM)

Jon Hassell - Power Spot (ECM)

Moritz Von Oswald Trio - Vertical Ascent

Jon Hassell - Last night the moon came down ...

What's the Moritz Trio album like??? Been meaning to grab it!

Well, I listened to it only once and it has all the qualities of Moritz' previous productions, but it's less austere and minimal than basic channel's outputs. Vadislav Delay's percussions make a noticeable difference here, I would say.

I'd love to catch them live in Paris on Saturday... but unfortunately, I can't...

Hmmm... I like austere and minimal :)

What a shock!  :D
