Current mood: EARLY MORNING CALM
Category: EARLY MORNING CALM Music
BASTARD FUCKERS!! - I just lost another almost done entry for this 'ere blinger due to an over zealous whoop flourish across the keyboard...
I'll have to learn to calm down when I'm typing and write what I lost again DOUBLE QUICK! before I forget what I was saying...
OK..
This entry is hits and they're all coming from the experimental and minimal side of sound...
National Subnormal are an act that appear to specialise in limited edition runs.
'Supplying the finest in conceptual music since last week. Things you can listen to and touch and think about afterwards.'
By the sound of things, Vespas of 2006 is a lovely piece of work and I feel sorry I wasn't quick enough to get the 1 of 1 copy that was available. An hour of choral music on almost continual pause sounds very appealing indeed..
I'm a big fan of choral music.
If you get the right choir singing the right music, with passion, in the right reverby church, the resultant sounds are as exhilarating a sound as can ever be heard. It's a sound that doesn't need amplification to be powersoulful...
ADRENALIN IS GUARANTEED!!
With the situation heating up in Rangoon, Burma it's perhaps fitting a band called Weeping Over Rahoon have slipped onto the radar..
This is a wonderfully soothing track and perfectly suited to a slow and romantic death scene in a film...
I would have to admit that I don't know much about the situation down there in Burma, neither do i want to - it's not my country or my business.
I do know that the opposition leader is familiar with the insides of her house, that alot of hippie traveller gap students prop up it's economy, and that like Iraq it's reported to be run by a corrupt and wholly mad dictator..
If the fighting does kick off, it'll be a poignant symbol of the war between the old religious way and the new agnostic, academic and democratic way of life. I should imagine Quentin Tarrantino will be glued to his set...
Anyway, I wish the Monks well, but doubt Burma will become a Utopia whatever happens. I also get an overwhelming sense of dread about the impending merchandising of this revolution. 'Monks fighting Coppers' is tailor made for clever £30 T-shirts on Brick Lane, and every other trendy neighbourhood in the rich world...
Hakujin are interesting..
I like their style and design and their 'About Me' says
"This is the official HAKUJIN page. We are grateful for ill-informed fans. Domo."
Interesting music, good character - the kind of thing I'd definately like to hear more of...
John Kannenberg produces very minimal music. There's not much to say about this other than it's a bit like smoking a joint in the bath after a hard days toil...
And lastly it's Enzo Favata..
Enzo is one of the finest exponents of traditional Sardinian music. I picked up a CD of his for a quid the other day and it's wonderful.
Sardinia is perhaps currently best known for having wonderful beaches, and for an argument regarding whether former Italian Prime Minister (and current Media Overlord) Silvio Berlusconi had the correct planning permission to build his own private hill onto which he placed a bench to enable himself to consider wordly issues in the company of his hareem of young women...
He's a man of peculiar charm is Silvio and someone who never ceases to make me smile...
Of course, the differences between Silvio and the Burmese Dictator would seem to be few and far between, other than that Italy is a democarcy and a lover of freedom.
Anyway Enzo is great. Lovely intricate, soulful and smooth music...
