I ordered it the same time I mentioned it on the list, which was at least two months ago. It remained backordered so long that I had to refresh my order -- but it finally arrived last week. Surprisingly good sound, thoroughly acceptable packaging, personnel and recording dates seem accurate (haven't studied them all yet). Billed as the complete Duke 1924-1947. 763 tracks. In any event, enough to get you through the night, or two or two thousand. I noticed by the time my set arrived, CD Universe had it on backorder again. I'd recommend sticking with it and keeping your order active. Also, it should be noted that the price has leaped from $89 to, uh $95 or something like that. ... I've listened to the first six discs -- incredible, wonderful music, even in the early years. Martin

Some shows coming up
by Craig Lieske 27 Jan '04

27 Jan '04

Hello everybody! Just thought I would take the time to tell y'all about a few shows that are coming soon that I am involved in. CALEDONIA LOUNGE, January 29th: No More Revivals: Jeremiah Cymerman brings some tunes down from NYC for Jeff Rieter, Brian head and myself to play. A once in a lifetime type gig. Ceramic Duck: One of the best of the newer Athens bands. Distressed song structures and hooks aplenty. The bastard child of Napalm Death and Devo. Garbage Island: The Island is back and smellier than ever. Featuring the bass talents of special guest Steve Scarborough from Maserati and the trombone talents of Trombonicus Maximus. ULTRAODD COMPOUND, February 1st: "Stupor-Bowl Party" Alpha Jerk: The twisted brainchild of Scifules Mark Kaczmarek and Chris Herron. World music as imagined by acid-damaged missionaries. I will be assisting in the carnage. Other Athens psychopaths may join us... Treble with a capital "T". We will be playing around 7PM. Ceramic Duck: These guys are always following us around! Brown Frown: Songs about dead whores and other morally uplifting topics. Charles Bukowski and MC 5 had a baby... The Spinns: Don't know much about these guys, except they are from North Carolina. Madeline: Athens' favorite chanteuse since, well, ... last year! There may be others playing this event that I don't know about. Ask Raleigh Hatfield for more details about this... 40 WATT, February 5th Echo Canyon: Barren landscapes, and the sound of America collapsing in on itself under useless litigation and 200+ years of bad decisions. Myself, Jim Wilson (AKA Diego Catalan) and Chuck Bradburn (AKA Chuck Bradburn) will bring this party to the 40 Watt stage about 10:30 on this night... Mother Jackson: Get out yer bell-bottoms and comb out yer 'fro, it's 1973 again!

New Fantomas
by igor balac 26 Jan '04

26 Jan '04

Hallo Zorn List! Yesterday night I heard the new Fantomas cd "Delirium Cordia" and sadly, I must admit that I expected too much. My opinion is that one 72 minutes long track played by such a great quartet can offer so much more. Every now and then you'll be able to hear some thrilling moments; the rest we've already seen before. GRAND GUIGNOL, LENG TCHE, AMERICAN PSYCHO ETC ETC... _________________________________________________________________ Play online games with your friends with MSN Messenger http://messenger.msn.nl/

Delirium Cordia
by Efrén del Valle 26 Jan '04

26 Jan '04

Hi, Yesterday I was gladly surprised that the Fnac stores already stock the new Fantomas album, so I got my copy. This could be my favorite Fantomas record to date, I'm really impressed. As someone said, although on paper their path is quite similar to Naked City (soundtracks, ambient, etc), the truth is that musically the results couldn't differ more. There are many atmospheric passages but they seem to serve as links between the different episodes ocurring, just like small cells connected by ambient segments. The sound palette is wider than in previous albums (including some theremin!) and the whole atmosphere is that of a horror movie with the usual metal element. I have just listened to it once, so I can't give too many details yet but the general impression is very good. No wonder why they had some trouble with the artwork, it's fantastic. However, the inlay pictures are quite disgusting, particularly if you're a bit of a hypocondriac (my case!). They're surgical full-color pictures and I don't think I'll ever be able to stomach those things, so I'll keep the sleeve inside for good :-) Best, EfrÃ©n del Valle n.p: Fantomas "DC" (Ipecac) 2nd round. ___________________________________________________ Yahoo!

re: cramps and MERZBOW IN ADELAIDE
by Cameron Wood 25 Jan '04

25 Jan '04

Ah The Cramps. I only got into them half way through 2003 and they're great!!! Dunno about where you live, but I've seen in stores here the first(?) three, Songs the Lord..., Psychadelic Jungle, and Off The Bone alltogether for $30 (AUS). Highly recommended. Only heard bits of Date With Elvis, which has them with a bass player instead of two guitars. Still gold though. Oh, and if you're gonna get Fiends of Dope Island, you have to get the vinyl. Just look at that cover: http://www.multimafia.no/revolusjonkel/galleri_illustration.php?id=82 Also, slightly off topic and it may have already been mentioned, but for those living in Australias favourite punch line, Adelaide, Merzbow is playing here in the basement of Big Star records on Feb 9th. Surely a once in a lifetime thing for us :) Also check out the Improvisations festival in the Fringe guide, one of What Is Music?'s organisers Oren Ambarchi (hey, he has a record on Tzadik so this is related) is coming over, along with Annette Krebs and a few others. The Fringe guide is wrong by the way, Fennesz will not be coming :( Later, Cameron. _________________________________________________________________ ninemsn Premium transforms your e-mail with colours, photos and animated text.
