| [1] "Solar: A Musical Travelogue volume 1" on Soleilmoon / Staalplaat info@soleilmoon.com with among others: Tuu, Jorge Reyes, O Yuki Conjugate, A Small Good Thing, Rapoon, Paul Schutze ... First of a series of music travelogues in the old Touch cassette manner. They call it here "a journal in sound). It feels more like a photo album of an excursion around the world. It includes electroacoustics, sound sculptures, field recordings, traditional percussion and self-made instruments to offer a melting border view of the world. | |
| [2] "Counterintelligence: Subproject 01" on Electro-Chemical Research www.noisemail.com The "recent" phenom of soundings, of allowing the surrounding air and elements to do the talking for awhile before the musicians talk or squalk back. Includes Aube, Dandy, Voltaic, converter, Mimetic Field, si-{cut}.db, Bit Tonic (this lovely piece) and others. Very fascinating. | |
| [3] "Chinese Whispers" on Sprawl Imprint www.dfuse.com/sprawl/ is a conceptual circle jerk or exquisite corpse of sound where the original samples of a Stereolab piece are taken and stretched and crunched and warped by succeeding producers such as Sons of Silence, Ultramarine, Freeform, Subtropic who take Stereolab and others further and further afield then re-re-re-remixed at the end. It also resembles the game of telephone. great conceptual fun. | |
| [3a] Dead City Radio, I think, produced by Hal Willner. "Thanks for the wild turkey and the passenger pigeons ... thanks for a continent despoiled and poisoned. Thanks for the Indians for providing a modicum of danger. Thanks for vast herds of bison to kill and skin, leaving the carcasses to rot. Thanks to bounties on wolves and coyotes. Thanks to the American Dream pulverized and falsified until the bare lies shine through. Thanks for the KKK, nigger-killin moral men ... thanks for church-goin' women and their mean evil pinched faces. Thanks for Kill-A-Queer-For-Christ stickers ..." | |
| [4] Wechma, the second Atlas Project CD on Prikosnovenie [prikos@worldnet.fr http://www.multimania.com/prikos] is a stunning record of what the French call "topographiques sonores", a subtle and sublime disc that pulsates between the hidden vibrations of many musics both found and manufactured as produced by Norsq, the genius behind the French ground-breaking ethno-techno band of the late 80s, the Grief. As if soundings were made in countries without names. Predecessors might include Terre Thaemlitz, Holger Czukay, Zoviet France. Again, stunning disc. | |
| [5] "Horizontal" on Sprawl Imprint www.dfuse.com/sprawl/ is interesting speed drone & bass from Seattle. | |
| [5a] "we are going to create in the years coming ... an American Liberation Front to combat the avaricious businessman, the demagogic politician and the fascist pig cops who murder, brutalize, and terrorize the people.." | |
| [6] "Liquid Sky Music: This is Home Entertainment volume 3" on Home Entertainment / Caroline marketing@caroline.com is a very intriguing collection of musical glitches (made to groove) intercepted from the furthest reaches of space. Includes Lux, Recloos, DJ Wally, The Bronx Warrior. Dj Spooky, the Alien Mind, We and others... | |
| [7] "Dancehall Malfunction" on Asphodel www.asphodel.com a mixed record of odds and ends from one of the potentially great post Laswell heavy bass bottomfeeders. Dark, dingy, morose and charged with all the viruses that run through our electronic intestines. "Revolution, revolution, revolution ..." | |
| [8] "Midnight Band: The First Minute of a New Day" by Gil Scott-Heron & Brian Jackson on Rumal-Gia Records is Heron at his stand-up scurrilous soulful best, criticizing the government with the incisive humor of Dick Gregory and Lenny Bruce. The live version of "Revolution" is a spoken word version. "You will not be able stay home brother, you will not be able to plug in and turn on and cop out. You will not be able to lose yourself on skag and skip out for beer during commercials because the revolution will not be televised...A lot of time people see battles and skirmishes on tv and they say ah ha, the revolution IS being televised. It is NOT being televised; the RESULTS of the revolution are being televised. The first revolution is when you change your mind ... but the revolution, the change that takes place will not be televised. It will not be brought to you by Xerox ... or Miller Lite starring Natalie Wood & Steve McQueen or Bullwinkle & Julia...The revolution will not be televised..." | |
| [9] "Tick" is Black Sifichi's highly recommended 1999 debut album from Noise Museum with Negative Stencil which includes ex-members of the Grief and Von Magnet, Fagus Sylvatica, mega-producer Norsq & Matthieu Safatly. It is a series of highly original takes on the human voice and the potential for verbal communication at the millennium. Moving between disillusionment and an infectious will to live, the words go for the throat as they infect the mind. From a detournement of the Marlboro Man to an update of the man On The Waterfront, macho comes in for some cogent pummeling. To a total customized remake of Gil Scott-Heron's "the Revolution Will Not Be Televised" to a blisteringly imagistic take on the Beatniks to a bitter/tender reappraisal of his teen years to a scathing open message to Jesse Helms. | |
| [10] "Mind the Gap, volume 28" this is a great series of compilations. This cut is from Freq Nasty's album "Geeks & Mutilations" www.planetinternet.be also includes the elusive Curd Duca, the ubiquitous Scanner, the great Doug Wimbish and Professor Tsungs in Trouble, Cabbage Boy, Dj Wally and others. "Revolution became Revolution, Inc. comin' at you in a rap on MTV, comin' at you on the internet highway, comin' at you courtesy of Sony, Nike. Revolution, revolution, revolution, revolution, inc." | |
| [12] Drum & Bass with some samples of an anonymous Black Panther (?) speech: "When you study the historic nature of a revolution, the objective of a revolution, the moral of a revolution, and the result of revolution | |
| [13] Includes the sample "this is dub revolution" by Lee "Scratch" Perry as the only lyrics. | |
| [14] "See the tv listen to me double trouble / I'm over a hole and I'm comin from a lower level / I'm takin' tabs sho nuf up for grabs / like Certs in a Hertz ... took control of the education of a tv station / now look around / here goes the sound of a record called BOOM & POW when I shut em down ... Who kept the money in the neighborhood but we spendin' money in the land / lookin for a friend in a war to the core / rippin' up the poor and the doors / until they give a proper kickin' down doors / then I figger I can get bigger / look'm there in the eye and they wince the fence pressurize / they don't really want there to be another racial attack in the skies / so give the money back / I like Nike but wait a minute / the neighborhood support so put some money in it / the corporations they gotta give up the dough / or else we shut em down ..." [or something like that!] | |
| [15] "Everything you see you want ... a middle class revolt / Put it down! Put it down! ... Calorific! a middle class revolt ..." | |
| [16] "Don't call me nigger, whitey / Don't call me whitey, nigger ..." | |
| [17] Future Dub is a Paris / Radio Nova CD compilation of world & French dub compiled by Black Sifichi It includes Gregory Isaacs remixed by Kruder & Dorfmeister, Dub Syndicate, 2 smokers by Treponem Pal & Renegade Sound Wave plus, among others, this in-your-visage cut by High Tone: "The next time around the revolution will not be televised ..." | |
| [18] "Fellatio Praecox: Outspoken Word Trips" his Black (unreleased private trax) Bootleg CD, has a harder alternate take. | |
