Hi, His recordings on hatART are Old Eyes & Mysteries (hatART 6047) Topology (hatART 6027) Oleo & A Future Retrospective (hatART 6097) Linear B (hatART 6057) Joe McPhee & Survival Unit II at WBAI's Free Music Store (hatART 6197) The only one I haven't heard is the first, which is still available from Cadence. Looks like the others are out of print, although I think hatology will eventually reissue Oleo, which is probably his best record from this period. Topology is disappointing, maybe worth owning for the odd lineup (incl Radu Malfatti and Irene Schweizer), and the WBAI record has a more traditional free jazz sound than the others. I don't pull it out often.

Best Tim berne records
by Federici Leonardo 11 Jun '03

11 Jun '03

In my opinion obviously :) I've got all the official releases of Tim Berne and I love his music absolutely. I think that there's a continue evolution in his playing and writing so in every period there's good and bad (only good for me), in every case.... the best Tim Berne records ever is FRACTURED FAIRY TALES. Incredible energy, all the players at the top, fantastic. But if you want tlo explore the evolution of Tim I propose: The Ancestors (SPLASH RECORDS) - first period I can't put my finger on it (Miniature) Fulton Street Maul (columbia period, with a fantastic Bill Frisell) Fractured Fairy Tales (JMT and now Winter & Winter) The Paris Concert 1 (Bloodcount period) but all are really good Big Satan (Winter & Winter) Science Friction (last Tim Berne) and now two particularity: TIM BERNE/BILL FRISELL Thoretically The sevens I think are less representative of the "corpus" of Tim, perhaps The sevens is a new road, but at the moment is particular. It's ok? I hope, all the records are fantastic, only Paraphrase are a little less than other (not on stage!! If tou can take a look to to a show of this trio).

Zorn in Holland Festival: Marc Ribot
by manolis 11 Jun '03

11 Jun '03

What a beautiful evening in Amsterdam. In a slightly more than half-full, yet pretty excited hall, Marc Ribot made his solo appearence, playing Zorn pieces. According to the original program he was going to execute the "Book of Heads"; however, and to our great delight, he announced that he would throw in some songs from the Masada songbook. "I could probably pull through the complete "Book of Heads", but it would take me months of preparing" he commented later. "If a piece is slightly tonal, then you know its a masada tune" he clarified, hoping to avoid confusing the unprepared among us. He started off with etude#26 from BOH on electric guitar (the masada tunes that followed were mostly on acoustic) and immediately his mastering of the required skills was obvious. With use of few objects that included the anticipated baloons, (used to either play the guitar, scratch or step upon and break), he displayed his vision of how to handle these guitar pieces and improvised his way through Zorn's graphic notation. The highlights included one the execution of an etude for 3 guitars as well, as his use of two bows. It is actually very hard to describe what he did or what it sounded like; Not very different from the recordings as far as I recollect, yet sitting there in front of him made it sound much more sparkling and coherent. Later he laughed, "I am happy Zorn was not here", as he apparently had been stealing on the rules whenever he felt like. The program was quite divided between the BOH and masada pieces, which alternated making it sound less stiff and it really worked out! The familiar "sansanah", "moshav" and "tzalim" (introduced at the encore as "another piece from the "Book Of Heads") were included, as well as a few that I failed to recognize; some titles that I read on his songlist (which he wouldn't part) were "galgalim", "azekal", "shasal" (could be slightly wrong here...). Having not heard the Tzadik release of the Masada guitars, I cannot compare the live interpretations to the studio ones; To my feeling, the pieces were stripped down to their very essentials and the melodies often deconstructed. Overall, in the absence of accompanying instruments, it sounded very melancholic, often going into very quiet passages and rather unlike the somewhat groovy sound of the Masada sextet. Utterly beautiful. Tonight, "Rituals" and "Chimeras" by the Asko ensemble. And, less than a week to Naked City! manolis

Ack! No mention of his pretty phenomenal JMT catalog before Bloodcount, slowly but steadily being reissued on Winter & Winter. Theo, grab FRACTURED FAIRY TALES as fast as you can, superb record.

I think it was a little more complicated than that with UK punk and its ties to corporate culture. Remember, the Pistols and the Clash were on major labels, not indies (unless you count Virgin at that time). Same with the Stranglers and the Jam. At the same time, these initial bands did have kindred spirits in many other bands who flocked to indies which were sprouting up all over the place. This had a snowball effect as this encouraged other subsequent indie labels to start up. By the time that Rough Trade went from a record shop to a record label (around '78), they had effectively established a network of distribution around the country as was starting to happen in the States.

Tim Berne
by Theo Klaase 10 Jun '03

Any Tim Berne fans on the list? I saw a Big Satan show Friday and was blown away! Marc Ducret, Tom Rainey - Wow! His album "Science Friction" is amazing and I was curious as to the opinions of some of his other releases... The only ones I have are: The Shell Game, Science Friction, Big Satan's Winter & Winter release and an old BloodCount disc with Jim Black on drums... __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
