* "Julian" <germ(a)iinet.net.au>: >I'm looking for some interesting female vocalists for a singing friend >of mine, for the moment I'm looking more in the 'interesting pop' vein >(Bjork, Laurie Anderson) than moving into really experimental or modern >>classical stuff. Any recommendations? Late as always (digest), but some of these might work (inpo): Anja Garbarek Emiliana Torrini (Icelandic/Italian, sim. to Björk) Sussan Deyhim Haco (maybe too out) Tujiko Noriko (Mego) Edda dell'Orso (on Morricone's 60's/70's work) Alison Goldfrapp (a modern Edda?) Liz Fraser (Cocteau Twins/Massive Attack) Lisa Gerrard (Dead Can Dance/solo) Jennifer Charles (Elysian Fields/Lovage) Sandy Dillon Erykah Badu (Billie Holiday-ish) Diamanda Galas Stina Nordenstam Brigitte Fontaine (60's/70's) Gal Costa (60's/early 70's) Nina Miranda (Smoke City) Iva Bittova Liliput/Kleenex gals Rosie Cuckston (Pram) Antye Greie-Fuchs (Laub/solo) Roisin Murphy (Moloko) Sidsel Endresen (ECM/Jazzland) Mari Boine (early + new Jazzland) Be Good Tanyas (trio) Kazu Makino (Blonde Redhead) Tara Jane O'Neil (Retsin/Sonora Pine/solo) etc. etc. >Any recommendations for PJ Harvey albums? Best IMHO are "To Bring You My Love" & "Rid Of Me"... maybe also "Is This Desire?". "Dry" is earlier, and "Stories From The City..." is the last LP. All have something to like. -Patrick NP: Ty - "Awkward"

I have a couple of albums by Anita Peacock, Bill Bruford is the drummer. Must pull out the records to rehear, but I recall them being quite interesting. One is on Tomato Records. I believe that she was married to Gary Peacock.

EYVIND KANG: live in Seattle 6/21/02 with "KUDZU"
by rusegarden 17 Jun '02

17 Jun '02

Hi, given all the talk about Eyvind Kang I figured this might be a good time to chime in about a highly anticipated show coming up this Friday, June 21, in Seattle, WA, USA -- that he will be a part of. Here are all the details. By all means please this info along to any friends you might have in the area! theFUNKYJOINTpresents: ----------- <<< KUDZU >>> ~ featuring ~ Wayne Horvitz Bobby Previte Doug Weiselman Tucker Martine and many more! {{see below!}} ----------- w/special guests: LARKSPUR [Reggie Watts/Paul Kemmish/Kevin Sawka] DJ SAXTON [of Sound Tribe Sector 9: www.sts9.com] ----------- Friday, June 21st, 2002 I-SPY 1921 5th Ave. (Alley Entrance) Seattle, WA www.ispyseattle.com 9pm doors | 10pm show == $10 adv. tickets * Ticketweb.com {toll free: 1-866-468-7623} * Orpheum [Ticketweb outlet] {618 Broadway Avenue E.} * Jambasetickets.com == $12 at the door ----------- KUDZU is: Wayne Horvitz (keyboards) ~ Bobby Previte (drums) ~ Doug Weiselman (guitar, clarinet, sax) ~ Tucker Martine (electronics) ~ plus special guests: Reggie Watts ~ Eyvind Kang ~ Keith Lowe ~ Timothy Young ~ Robin Holcomb ~ Dave Carter ~ Danny Barnes ----------- KUDZU began as an off-the-cuff studio-based collaboration between keyboardist Wayne Horvitz and electronicist Tucker Martine. They messed around with loops and samples and sequences, and soon brought in some of their many colorful and talented friends to help expand Kudzu's palette. Some of the resulting sketches were sent to Terminus Records down in Atlanta, GA. They dug Kudzu's ingenious directions, and gave them a budget to flesh out their visions. As I write this, Kudzu is on course to finish a record, and are looking forward to their 6/21/02 world-premier performance at Seattle's I-Spy with a bunch of great guests, and special opening acts Larkspur & DJ Saxton. ----------- SOME NOTABLE CREDITS, ASSOCIATIONS, AND LINKS: ----------- WAYNE HORVITZ - Zony Mash, 4 plus 1 Ensemble, Bobby Previte (Bump the Renaissance, etc.), Ponga, Robin Holcomb, John Zorn (Naked City, etc.), Bill Frisell, Pigpen, New York Composers Orchestra, Fred Frith, Marty Erlich, Butch Morris, Billy Bang, Carla Bley, Michael Shrieve, DJ Spooky, Kronos Quartet, Gus Van Sant (Psycho) ~ for extensive info regarding Wayne's current activites please visit www.waynehorvitz.com & www.zonymash.com ~~~~~ BOBBY PREVITE - Bump the Renaissance, The 23 Constellations of Joan Miro, Ponga, Voodoo Orchestra, John Zorn, Charlie Hunter, Latin for Travelers, Weather Clear and Track Fast, Empty Suits, Wayne Horvitz (The President, etc.), Tom Waits, Terry Adams (of NRBQ), Elliott Sharp, Robert Altman (Short Cuts) ~ for extensive info regarding Bobby's current activities please visit www.bobbyprevite.com ~~~~~ TUCKER MARTINE - Mount Analog, Hughscore, Wayne Horvitz (4+1 Ensemble, etc.), Julian Priester, Sam Rivers, Bill Frisell, Vinicius Cantuaria, Laura Veirs, Danny Barnes, Lori Carson ~ for extensive info regarding Tucker's current activites please visit www.mountanalog.com ~~~~~ DOUG WEISELMAN - Flying Karamazov Brothers (music director), John Lurie (Lounge Lizards, etc.), Wayne Horvitz (The President, etc.), Bill Frisell, Robin Holcomb, Victoria Williams, Anthony Coleman, and many others ----------- EYVIND KANG - (violinist/violist) - John Zorn, Mike Patton, Secret Chiefs 3, Wayne Horvitz (4+1 Ensemble), Varmint, Bill Frisell, Dying Ground, Graham Haynes, Sun City Girls, Laurie Anderson, Amir Koushkani, Arto Lindsay, Michael White, Beck, Michael Bisio, Aiko Shimada, Ikue Mori ~ for more please search for Eyvind at www.allmusic.com ~~~~~ ROBIN HOLCOMB - (vocalist/pianist) - Wayne Horvitz, Bill Frisell, New York Composers Orchestra ~ for more please visit Robin via her record label at www.nonesuch.com - or via www.allmusic.com ~~~~~ KEITH LOWE - (bassist) - David Sylvian, Zony Mash, Bill Frisell, Fiona Apple, Crack Sabbath, Danny Barnes, Robin Holcomb ~ for more please visit www.moonliner.com ~~~~~ TIMOTHY YOUNG - (guitarist) - David Sylvian, Zony Mash, Bloodbunny, Sam Rivers, Julian Priester, Eyvind Kang, Skerik, Sam-Ang Sam Ensemble, Guitar Monks, Very Special Forces ~ for more please visit www.zonymash.com ~~~~~ DANNY BARNES - aka "the string technician" - (banjoist, guitarist, etc.) - Bad Livers, Thee Old Codgers, Bill Frisell, Gullyjumpers, Robin Holcomb, Laura Veirs, Pete Krebs ~ for lots more please visit www.dannybarnes.com ~~~~~ DAVE CARTER - (trumpeter/flugelhornist) - Zony Mash plus horns, Robin Holcomb, Aiko Shimada, Oxygen Ensemble, and many others ----------- REGGIE WATTS - aka "the soul technician" - (vocalist/keyboardist) - Maktub, Wayne Horvitz (4+1 Ensemble), Elemental, Das Rut, Smack, Jumbalaya, Kaya, A Very Reggie Christmas ~ for more please visit www.maktub.com ~~~~~ PAUL KEMMISH - aka "PK" - (bassist) - Das Rut, Varmint, Rockin' Teenage Combo, Expanse, Hair of the Dog, Dangerous Brain Clinic, Big Stick, Bantam Duo, Argonaut ~ for more please visit www.paulkemmish.com ~~~~~ KEVIN SAWKA - (drummer) - Siamese, 94th Street, Varmint, DJ Sawka, Argonaut, Fotumaru ~ for more please visit www.siamesebeat.com & www.94thstreet.net ----------- CONTACT: PeruviaNighTrain Promotions James Kirchmer jameskirchmer(a)attbi.com (206) 339-3975

M'shell Ndegeocello's "Bitter" is probably my favorite pop album of the '90s. Slow and funky and spilling over with the emotion (lyrics) of love-fucked blues. Gorgeous. Her new one, "Cookie," has some moments but a lot of unnecessary clutter.... PJ's "To Bring You My Love" is a searing, honest, rousing document. Hard to go wrong with this.

"Et Nico" [New release from Vel Net]
by Vel Net 17 Jun '02

17 Jun '02

Hi to all here Vel Net, label specialized in HQ new music. We have released the Nico Girasole's cd "Et Nico" and we want give you some information about this work. Apologies in advance to those who will get this more than once. Nico Girasole is an author/musician of surprising talent. It's impossible to include only in a genre his music which is archaic and modern at the same time, dreamy, mysterious as an ancient ritual but also playful. Georges Markakis (Radio Flash Athens) wrote: "Nico Girasole was a sweet surprise for me to be honest. I am going to play the songs "Gnotiseauton" and others of course and play it beside Jordi Savall's work / I think they fit with each other little bit..." Although "Et Nico" comes out with his first release and his name is utterly new to the international public, he has been a mature artist for long. He has written music for theatre collaborating with several companies in Europe alternating to this activity some incursions in different art's sector. Himself says in an interview by the journalist Antonella Gaeta (Repubblica): " The time is a discontinuous experience and in the meanwhile a thousand things happen...". The recording of "Et Nico" took three years, essentially to form the musicians ensemble fit to live play so delicate and rich music. Having worked for a long time in our studio, we recorded in a little country church completely live in order to render the experience we lived. Here are some comments about "Et Nico": " Girasole's music is a rich and intimate sort of chamber music, with influences stretching from east to west (but still unmistakably Italian), from ancient to modern, and meeting somewhere in between.... The music quiet and lyrical, the acoustic instruments mingle in movements that are in turns sensitive and bold, meditative and dramatic..." Richard di Santo (Incursion Magazine) "The sounds float in a way with shaded colors of oriental flavor from which strange objects of the memory appear: quotations and allusions to music loved by the author, even Habanera of Ravel and Fleurette africaine of Ellington ... are notes for an imaginary travel, jotted down by a man who mockingly declares " I have never been beyond Corfu" and plays with the false and the likely, searching a very elusive truth..." Fabrizio Versienti (Corriere del Mezzogiorno) "Et Nico" is the fulfilment of a possible "happy Babele" populated by poetic impulses and breaths, spots of sound and minimum theatre. Hypothesis of journey which Pessoa would have liked: made of pauses and renewals as travellers able to wander with own memory beyond the body... Giuseppe De Trizio (Cupa Cupa) "The cd finds its concrete identity far from Battiato's or Jocelyn Pook's esotericisms" Piercarlo Poggio (Blow Up) "Piccola Sosta Del Circo Macedone", seems composed of spashes of irony and amusement ... At once I though of Emir Kusturica..." Marco Delsoldato (Suburbia magazine) " Sixsteen incursions around the world, sixsteen placid and sunny watercolours... To listen to with your eyes closed" Carlo Crudele (Musicboom) To listen to and to have other information about Nico Girasole's "Et Nico" you can visit Vel Net's web site and Cdbaby that chosen to insert it on its front page in these days.

Besides Aiko, a couple of others just came to mind: Ute Lemper has done some dreck, but Ute Lemper Sings Kurt Weill (on London) is quite excellent. She has just the voice for it. June Tabor also really makes me sit up and listen. Don't know quite what to suggest from her oevure. I have a CD, still in print, called Anthology. It has an odd song selection, but you WILL be wanting more after hearing it!

Hello, ....on the very accessible side of the street, I really like Madeleine Peyroux's record "Dreamland" that came out on Atlantic a few years back. It features lots of NY folks, including Ribot, Greg Cohen, K. Wollinson, James Carter, Vernon Reid, etc. It has a very bluesy, Billie Holliday kinda vibe, but it's also very contemporary in feel. Lots of covers, but my favorite thing on the disc is her self penned "Always a Use", where it's just her voice and acoustic guitar. I'm also thinking of the McGarrigle sisters, Kate and Anna. Their "French Record" is probably my favorite from the two. Like the Peyroux, it's also very pleasant. For me, they are both great "Sunday morning" listens. I once works part time in a rather upscale rare bookshop, and would play both of the above recordings, getting positive reactions from customers aged 8 to 80. On the "indie" side of things, I like both Barbara Manning and Lois. Jean Smith of Mecca Normal has a very unique voice that turns many people off, but I like her work quite a bit. Regarding Diamanda, I like "The Singer". Haven't heard the stuff with John Paul Jones. I also enjoy her earlier Mute recordings, but they are "out" in a way that "The Singer" isn't. It's "scare the neighbors" type material. I remain.... Joseph NP: Shoji Hano- "Tayhei Nipon" CD NR: William H. Gass- "The Tunnel"

they're still going under the name, Vooredoms (i think you're supposed to make an upside down peace sign and swing your arm like you're pitching a softball underhand when you say the name), and are doing the 3 drums with eye on electronics (plus hidden electronics in the back by another guy) thing. the show in sf that i saw was really really good, so it's definitely still worth checking out :) this according the boredoms group on yahoo. also, an album of this music is supposed be out in the summer. peace, kim > Hello. > > I saw that Boredoms is playing in London soon and > was curious if anybody > know what the lineup will be. Do they still only > play as Eye + drummers or > will Hira and Yamamoto also join? > > Cheers. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
