Hi y'all... Thought some of you might be interested. Here in Thailand a new (Thai) Yakuza (!?) film "Last Life in the Universe" (by Pen-Ek Ratanaruang) started screening at the cinemas - Takeshi Miike has a guest appearance in it. Main actor is Tadanobu Asano. Cinematography by Christopher Doyle who's worked on Psycho and also worked with Wong Kar-Wai. Another one that came out two weeks ago is Francis Ford Coppola's re-cut version of "Legend of Suriyothai", the most expensive Thai film ever. Will probably hit the States soon. patRice np: Kill Allen Wrench - My Bitch is a Junky nr: Bizzare Magazine ________________________________________________________________________ Want to chat instantly with your online friends?

It looks like the soundtracks for both Yojimbo and Sanjuro are out of print. There are however a couple of compilations of soundtrack material by the extremely prolific Sato (the Japan Movie Database lists over 300 composing credits to date). This comp includes the main Yojimbo theme: http://www.hmv.co.jp/product/detail.asp?LANG=en&sku=152177 Alan > I am looking for Masaru Sato's soundtrack music from Akira Kurosawa films > 'Yojimbo' and 'Sanjuro'. Does anybody have recordings of this music? I > would love to trade some material, or buy a copy of this music. Thanks.

Each item price is set by the individual sellers at GEMM, and I am one of literally hundreds there. I have made several VERY reasonable purchases through GEMM as well, all with complete satisfaction. If you don't mind taking the time to hunt, you won't be overwhelmed or put off by the volume of material there, and its reasonably obvious who the reliable sellers are. For anyone curious, my listings at GEMM are at: <A HREF="http://www.gemm.com/c/search.pl?sid=360438086&key=90002&table=sellers&selle…">http://www.gemm.com/c/search.pl?sid=360438086&key=90002&table=sellers& seller=GMV8022&view=BROWSE</A> Thanks for looking.

You might want to check out Village Music in Mill Valley, CA. John Goddard, the owner, is a serious collector and music aficionado. If he doesn't have it in stock he can probably find it for you. www.villagemusic.com Tom ______________________________________________________ Discs I'm listening to at work: Bevis Frond -- New Riverhead Bevis Frond -- A Gathering Of Fronds Muddy Waters -- His Best 1956-1964 Alejandro Escovedo Fundraising Concert, Fitzgerald's, 8/1/03

where to buy records (LP's) online?
by ahorton 19 Aug '03

19 Aug '03

This weekend I bought a nice new turntable, and am going through my 1000+ LP's. Does anyone know of a place online to buy used records? I'm not looking for audiophile, mint-condition quality, but something a little higher than the scratchy thrift store ten-cent record bin. Also- does anyone know where to find/buy new or reissues of classic records on LP? I see them all the time in record stores- you'll see "kind of blue", or "double nickels on the dime" reissued on LP. Where can we browse and purchase those online? Thanks for any help. andrew

Cecil Taylor Video
by Richard Gardner 19 Aug '03

19 Aug '03

This may have been discussed at some time on the list. After years of searching I have finally found a copy of the live Cecil Taylor video "Burning Poles". I seem to remember a remark, made here, along the lines that for those struggling to understand his music you really have to see Cecil Taylor live. For many of us particularly in Europe this is becoming increasingly difficult. I warmly recommend "Burning Poles" as a way of getting some idea of a Taylor performance. Its not the torrid assault of vintage Taylor and it is cut into bite size pieces but you do get a very good look at the man in action. He is accompanied by the Feel Trio with an extra percussionist. Its split into 3 sections, the first is a recital/performance/dance with bass and percussion which lasts about 10 minutes, then comes the main body of the piece a 30 minute piano performance that builds in a similar way to the "2Ts . . ." pieces, finally there is a short piano piece with a brief spoken performance in the middle. The whole thing is shot by 4 cameras in a studio with atmospheric lighting. The CT fans may feel this is not representative of an unleashed performance but I found it a fascinating and detailed look at a true genius at work. Five stars. Richard Gardner
