Flash Strap's avatar View Flash Strap's profile Options

This is where all of culture and all of time are collapsed into one seductive portal and viewed through the panoramic lens of the exotic. Come and embark on an armchair-travel virtual-voyage to the heart of timeless darkness and beyond; embrace the numinous monolith of the exotic immensity. Let us find that place where hybridization meets its destiny as pure fantasy. Let us become observers observing those others who are ourselves. You wear your mask and I'll wear mine.

hi
Avatar Thu. 6/14/18 6:57pm Flash Strap:

hiya chresti!
Avatar Thu. 6/14/18 7:03pm Flash Strap:

This is from a mostly-unreleased, widely bootlegged soundtrack to some Jane Birkin film I've never seen or heard of in any other context
Avatar Thu. 6/14/18 7:03pm Flash Strap:

love early Vangelis
Avatar Thu. 6/14/18 7:06pm hyde:

hi. seems a good soundtrack for my reread of Kirby's New Gods books!
Avatar Thu. 6/14/18 7:06pm listener james from westwood:

Evening, Evan and all!
Avatar Thu. 6/14/18 7:06pm Flash Strap:

oh wow, yes
Avatar Thu. 6/14/18 7:06pm Flash Strap:

hi hyde, hi James!
Avatar Thu. 6/14/18 7:09pm Flash Strap:

Basil Kirchin is so good – to me this sounds almost like a Sven Libaek arrangement, but with Roger Roger's touch on the Ondes Martenot
Avatar Thu. 6/14/18 7:13pm hyde:

more on New Gods: i requested this from the library, and when it came it turned out to be a b + w reprint. i was bummed at first because the color is such a big part of my memory of these books, but as i read on the pencils seem somehow even more amazing in b + w.
Avatar Thu. 6/14/18 7:14pm chresti:

Have you seen any of these films?
Avatar Thu. 6/14/18 7:14pm Flash Strap:

that's interesting - i'm a big lover of b&w but Kirby is such a technicolor guy in my mind
Avatar Thu. 6/14/18 7:15pm Flash Strap:

no i haven't, though I have seen the original Emannuelle film, which this one is sort of ripping off
Avatar Thu. 6/14/18 7:15pm Flash Strap:

it has a pretty good soundtrack too
Avatar Thu. 6/14/18 7:15pm doctorjazz:

Hi Evan and Explorers!
Avatar Thu. 6/14/18 7:15pm hyde:

@Flash yeah exactly!
Avatar Thu. 6/14/18 7:16pm Flash Strap:

Hi Doc! how goes it?
Avatar Thu. 6/14/18 7:17pm hyde:

i confess i have seen a number of Emmanuelle films, but not this one
Avatar Thu. 6/14/18 7:18pm Flash Strap:

most of these films are hardly films, not really worth seeing (even considering their intended utility) but some of them are surprisingly artful, well-shot. I know this one was filmed in Kenya, which is probably interesting and somewhat hair-raising
Avatar Thu. 6/14/18 7:19pm Flash Strap:

the original is decent filmmaking imo. makes a pretty wild read from a postcolonial perspective, actually
Avatar Thu. 6/14/18 7:22pm hyde:

crap, i totally forgot about the Tuesday show! there's some weekend listening.
  Thu. 6/14/18 7:27pm chresti:

Art films
Avatar Thu. 6/14/18 7:30pm Flash Strap:

@Hyde: it was a funky one
Avatar Thu. 6/14/18 7:31pm Doug Schulkind:

Cap'n, my Cap'n! The roiling waters are no match for you, Sir!
Avatar Thu. 6/14/18 7:33pm Flash Strap:

Ahoy Doug! The sea is my skating rink, I never stumble
Avatar Thu. 6/14/18 7:37pm Flash Strap:

this seems to be the only release on Botafogo, very mysterious slice of library pie
Avatar Thu. 6/14/18 7:37pm chresti:

the primitive london 5 track reminds me of the scene in "under the skin" where, she's leading her prey (as she's disrobing) to get liquified, which also reminds me of Noh theater music
Avatar Thu. 6/14/18 7:38pm Flash Strap:

i REALLY need to finally watch that one
Avatar Thu. 6/14/18 7:39pm northguineahills:

Reading up on the Emanuelle movies....
Avatar Thu. 6/14/18 7:39pm Flash Strap:

Hi NGH!
Avatar Thu. 6/14/18 7:40pm hyde:

@chresti i liked that movie. cool soundtrack, too.
Avatar Thu. 6/14/18 7:43pm Flash Strap:

i heard only really good things
Avatar Thu. 6/14/18 7:47pm Flash Strap:

this record is so spare and uncomfortable, but it really interests me
Avatar Thu. 6/14/18 7:49pm geezerette:

Howdy!
Just watched "Onibaba", a b&w Japanese film from 1964.
Extremely beautiful and terrifying with a Noh-like score.
Avatar Thu. 6/14/18 7:50pm Flash Strap:

i love the score for Onibaba SO MUCH. what a great film
Avatar Thu. 6/14/18 7:51pm Flash Strap:

i'm actually working on the cover to a new Mike Cooper LP that is 1/2 a new score to Onibaba that he composed and plays along with the film at live events
Avatar Thu. 6/14/18 7:51pm Flash Strap:

how great is the lead actress in that film, btw?
Avatar Thu. 6/14/18 7:51pm geezerette:

I loved it! It's PERFECT!
Avatar Thu. 6/14/18 7:52pm hyde:

@geez! that movie is amazing
Avatar Thu. 6/14/18 7:53pm chresti:

I have not seen it, I must at once!
Avatar Thu. 6/14/18 7:54pm Flash Strap:

i remember watching a featurette where the director was talking about the film analytically, he was really wonderful but it was so funny; everything was sex.

"The grass represents sex"
Avatar Thu. 6/14/18 7:55pm geezerette:

She's riveting! Actually I thought they both were. The whole thing is riveting. Seeing it with a live score would be a powerful experience.
Avatar Thu. 6/14/18 7:56pm Flash Strap:

yeah the other woman is so natural in that neorealist way. what a movie
Avatar Thu. 6/14/18 7:57pm geezerette:

Hyde, I was so happy to see it. Filmstruck again. I'm hooked on it.
Avatar Thu. 6/14/18 7:58pm Flash Strap:

cool distortion on this track
Avatar Thu. 6/14/18 8:04pm hyde:

ohh, Emanuelle Nera is Emmanuelle in Bangkok, which means i have seen it...
Avatar Thu. 6/14/18 8:05pm Flash Strap:

no i think it's Emanuelle in Kenya
Avatar Thu. 6/14/18 8:05pm Flash Strap:

the original Emannuelle is in Bangkok, I think
Avatar Thu. 6/14/18 8:08pm hyde:

haha, oh right you said that! my bad. Emanuelle Nera: Orient Reportage is Emmanuelle in Bangkok. it's tough to tell this Laura Gemser stuff apart.
Avatar Thu. 6/14/18 8:08pm northguineahills:

Thanks geezerette, Onibaba is now on my radar!
Avatar Thu. 6/14/18 8:11pm doctorjazz:

I see Amazon Prime has it, for those who have it.
Time to take off, maybe catch more later on...
Avatar Thu. 6/14/18 8:11pm geezerette:

NGH, great! Love to hear what you think after you've seen it!
Avatar Thu. 6/14/18 8:12pm geezerette:

'Bye, Doc!

safe travels and fond adieu, Doc!
Avatar Thu. 6/14/18 8:18pm Flash Strap:

it's almost funny how straight this is, considering the 2 principals
Avatar Thu. 6/14/18 8:18pm geezerette:

Kenny Drew new to me! Digging the set. :)

Avatar Thu. 6/14/18 8:28pm Franco Twinkie:

I was far, far away on a sandy beach eating a muti fish, then the phone rang. It was my mother, She wanted to know if I paid her water bill. Now I can't get back, Wait! maybe Yusef can help me.
Avatar Thu. 6/14/18 8:29pm Flash Strap:

James Black on drums, i love what he's doing here
