RE: So Much Balkan Fun: Shantel, _Bucovina Club_ (Essay Recordings)

>> Isn't Fanfare Ciocarlia on there as well? >I thought of them too while reading Stephen's message. >They're such an incredible group. My fave album is >their first one, which runs at a frantical pace, no >mercy. Highly recommended for fans of Balkan flavors >with some aggresivity thrown in. True, their first album - Radio Pascani - is the best, the most 'pure' and 'raw' (whatever that means). Second and third CD are wonderful too, but a little bit more polished. Their label Piranha has lots of other nice releases too by the way, including a Klezmer recording by Frank London.

Re: Marc Ribot: Scelsi Morning
by Nick Utrie 27 Aug '03

Packaging is cool handwritten excerpts of a score and an acedemic sounding bio. recorded in 2000..The once through proves a couple things to me.. the album is programed nicely. its dark the last two (maybe 4) tracks are a cool breath of fresh air. and I am not immediatly attracted to it, which is ussuallya sign to me of staying power. the coolest sound is a pump organ/acrodian/bass clarinet harmony interplay - Messiaen-istic I also include some seach info I found trying to get some backround on the references in the titles TITLE : SCELSI MORNING http://www.classical.net/music/comp.lst/acc/scelsi.html TRACK 1 - BATAILLE - rhythmic and chasing motivs. good opener - distructive French essayist, philosophical theorist, novelist, often called the "metaphysician of evil." Bataille was interested in sex, death, degradation, and the power and potentialities of obscene. He rejected traditional literature and considered that the ultimate aim of all intellectual, artistic, or religious activity should be the annihilation of the rational individual in a violent, transcendental act of communion TRACK 2 SCELSI MORNING .. a beautifull ambient peice that creeps ad surrounds me.. TRACK 3 and then she fell... solo guitar delay, swells, ambience Track 4 EARTH - guitar, drums samples .... rhymic noise OK TRACK 6 - GEESE KILLS!! Ned Rothenberg destroys on the bass and sop clarinet with a cool (tounge slaping?) clucking, counterpoint, interplay with the acordian and pump organ.. the LAST four tracks are programed nicely ..the whole album flows movement to movement.. OVERALL dark with a bit of redemtion. anyhow gotta fly nick

So Much Balkan Fun: Shantel, _Bucovina Club_ (Essay Recordings)
by Stephen Fruitman 27 Aug '03

27 Aug '03

I cannot emphasize enough what a joy it was to receive this new recording from Germany. DJ Shantel is apparently a popular dance jock in Frankfurt who, while on a trip of discovery of his East European roots, fell entirely in love with the music of the region. The result is a _very_ original DJ mix and the most fun record of 2003 so far (edging out Easy Star All-Stars´ reggae take on the entire Pink Floyd album, _Dub Side of the Moon_). This CD incorporates absolutely _amazing_ tracks by some entities known to me (Taraf de Haidouks, Goran Bregovic, Kocani Orkestar, Boban Markovic Orkestar), with others less known but at least as good, along with Shantel remixes and compositions, and even contribution by bedroom dubster Rootsman. Mix CD of the year! There´s one track, for instance, which just sounds like a wonderul relaxed Balkan boogie; checking the liner notes, it turns out to be a transcription by Shantel for Gypsy orchestra of a recent hiphop track popular in Germany. (He does the same thing with a couple of Calypso originals, too. And he even has the perfect good taste to include a track composed by Lajko Félix, that unparallelled recently-only-teenage Slovenian violinist.) The Rootsman contributes something equally fabulous, combining a tarantella by a band from Southern Italy, accordians a-blazing, with heavy dub. Stuff from Macedonia, Sicily, Spain, Rumania, Turkish and Serbian material, New York Russians, Ukrainian reggae! Wonderful! And such horns! And such voices! On most every track! -- Stephen Fruitman Dept of Historical Studies Umea University SE-901 87 Umea Sweden

Marc Ribot: Scelsi Morning
by Theo Klaase 26 Aug '03

26 Aug '03

Anyone else on the list heard this album yet? I thought it was, for the most part, lame. Don't get me wrong, I love Ribot and his playing but this album did little to inspire me to do anything except turn the volume down. Ribot's done so many wonderful things in the past - Saints, the Cubanos project, Zorn's Filmworks stuff, James Carter, etc. - I just don't understand it, I suppose. It seems this kind of thing (music) has been done in the past sooo many times already - I'm just burned out on it... Better luck next time... The new Joey Baron - all percussion album is interesting though. -Theo __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Burns dossier in "Philosophy and Literature"
by Franz Fuchs 26 Aug '03

26 Aug '03

In its issue from April 2002 Dennis Dutton's "Philosophy and Literature" had a "Symposium: On Ken Burns's Jazz". You'll probably say "Oh no, not again" but I thought that this would be useful to those interested :-) Normally, "Phil&Lit" is subscription-based - I think the current free access results from technical problems - so I can't guarantee that the links will work tomorrow. Brown, Lee B. Jazz: America's Classical Music? Gracyk, Theodore. Jazz After Jazz: Ken Burns and the Construction of Jazz History Hagberg, Garry, 1952- On Representing Jazz: An Art Form in Need of Understanding http://makeashorterlink.com/?U3B4423B5 or muse.jhu.edu/journals/philosophy_and_literature/toc/phl26.1.html Regards Franz Fuchs
