Gratis 2CD bij Wire
Herman Nijhuis
dubbelCD bij. Er staat veel aparte electronica, rock, etc. op.
Hieronder de tracklisting, met beschrijvinkjes die ik van
www.thewire.co.uk heb geplukt:
Tracklisting CD-1
01) Liars - Grown Men Don't Fall In The River Just Like That
Although hailed in some quarters as New York's next big thing, none of
the members of this Gang Of Four/Pere Ubu loving group actually hail
from there. Singer Angus Andrew is from Australia, guitarist Aaron
Hemphill was an art student in LA, while Pat Noecker and Ron Albertson
are cornhuskers from Nebraska. 'Grown Men Don't Fall In The River Just
Like That' is from the Blast First release, Fins To Make Us More
Fish-Like.
02) Themselves - Hat In The Wind
After changing their name from Them in order to avoid a letter writing
campaign from the Van Morrison fanclub, the duo of MC/poet laureate of
the Don Coscarelli set Dose One and producer/sampler svengali Jel
retreated to their art brut rain forest to slay their personal demons
and rescue damsels in distress. Their adventures are recounted on
Anticon's latest post-modern roman picaresque, The No Music, a densely
layered, richly detailed, utterly bonkers HipHop
collage/fingerpainting/Rorschach inkblot.
03) Tarwater - 70 Rupies To Paradise Road
The duo of Ronald Lippok and Bernd Jestram has been one of the
mainstays of the contemporary Krautrock scene since their 1996 debut,
John Donne Death's Duel. Over numerous releases on the Kitty-Yo, Soul
Static Sound and Gusstaff labels, Tarwater have explored warm,
electronic soundscapes interspersed with loping, looping structures
and cut 'n' paste dynamics. Their latest album, Dwellers On The
Threshold, features appearances from To Rococo Rot's Stefan Schneider
and Ghanaian percussionist Nicholas Addo-Nettey, while on "70 Rupies
To Paradise Road", Norwegian performance artist Tone Avenstroup
narrates.
04) Múm - We Have A Map Of The Piano
Formed in 1997 while the members were all working on a childrens'
play, Múm (Gunnar Örn Tynes, Örvar Fóreyjarson Smárason and twin
sisters Gya and Kristín Anna Valtysdóttir) are yet another group who
were influenced by Aphex Twin to drop the guitars in favour of
electronics. With the lilting melancholy, naive folk melodies and
childlike vocals of their Fat Cat album Finally We Are No One, they
have come up with a fairytale electronica reminiscent of Boards Of
Canada.
05) Badawi - Evocation
Across a number of releases as Badawi, as one half of Sub Dub (with
John Ward), as part of Rotor (with DJ Olive and Toshio Kajiwara) and
under his own name, Raz Mesinai has sought to integrate various Middle
Eastern percussion traditions, dub principles and electronics. Equally
influenced by Sufi chanting and Jewish cantors, Jerusalem-born Mesinai
brings a spiritual and real-world grounding to the rootlessness
usually implied by such Fourth World globetrotting.
06) Suicide - Swearin' To The Flag
Suicide, of course, are the original art-electro-punks. Much of the
music we now take for granted would be unthinkable without their
minimal, hot-wired psychobilly, and two generations of 'producers',
Industrialists, electro-clashers and noiseniks bow their laptop heads
to them. A decade after their last album, Martin Rev and Alan Vega are
back to their confrontational best on American Supreme, one of the
few, if not only, albums to examine the American psyche post-9/11 and
ask difficult questions.
07) Supersilent - C-4.1
This Norwegian electric jazz quartet consists of producer Helge Sten
(electronics), Ståle Storløkken (keyboards), Arve Henriksen (trumpet,
electronics, voice) and Jarle Vespestad (drums). Their nervous,
jittery rhythm blowout is superimposed on Henriksen's windswept drone
swashes in a post-Miles meltdown to make your trousers quiver. This
exclusive live recording from the Moers Festival in 2001 is produced
by Deathprod (Sten's other alias).
08) Polwechsel/Fennesz - Framing X (Reconstructed by Patrick
Pulsinger)
The Vienna based microsound Polwechsel quartet, consisting of bassist
Werner Dafeldecker, cellist Michael Moser, guitarist Burkhard Stangl
and saxophonist John Butcher, has joined forces with melodic laptop
explorer Christian Fennesz for this one-off Erstwhile collaboration.
"Framing X" is an exclusive reworking by fellow Viennese Patrick
Pulsinger (aka Sluts 'N' Strings & 909). Rather than remix one track,
Pulsinger took the whole Polwechsel/Fennesz album, Wrapped Islands,
and reconstructed it.
09) Wazahugy
Wazahugy is a one-off strings and percussion Improv quartet featuring
Philipp Wachsmann (violin and electronics), Ingar Zach (percussion),
Charlotte Hug (viola and electronics) and Ivar Grydeland (guitar).
While Wachsmann and Hug are established presences on the European free
improvisation scene, the Norwegian duo of Zach and Grydeland are at
the forefront of Improv's next generation of musicians, and bosses of
the prolific Sofa label.
10) Asa-Chang & Junray - Tsuginepu To Ittemita
Percussionist/trumpeter Asa-Chang was the leader of The Tokyo Ska
Paradise Orchestra before discovering a strange drum on a trip to
Indonesia. In his hands (and with the aid of some old school
electronic kit) the Dandud bongo becomes a kind of PoMo, comedic tabla
- perfect for the playful mixture of cute pop and avant garde practice
carried out by his group, guitarist/programmer Hidehiko Urayama, FX
maestro Kiyoshi Kusaka and actual tabla player U-Zhaan.
11) Deadbeat - Organ In The Attic Sings The Blues
Organ In The Attic Sings The Blues Along with producers like Akufen,
Jetone and Mitchell Akiyama, Deadbeat (aka Scott Monteith) is part of
Montréal's increasingly vital electronic music scene. Through solo
releases on Force Inc, Mutek, Revolver and Background, and in a duo
with fellow Canuck Stephen Beaupre as Crack Haus, he has explored the
same micro-structures that have fascinated fellow travellers like
Matthew Herbert and Monolake. "Organ In The Attic Sings The Blues" is
from Deadbeat's forthcoming album on Pole's ˜scape label.
12) DJ Vadim - Till Suns In Your Eye
Ever since he released the Abstract Hallucinating Gases EP on his own
Jazz Fudge label in April 1995, the erstwhile Vadim Peare has been one
of HipHop's most restless travellers. Moving from the deathbed
instrumental HipHop of his earliest releases to working with some of
the most challenging and innovative MCs around (Antipop Consortium,
Sarah Jones, Company Flow, Mr Lif, Gift Of Gab, Phi Life Cypher, Slug,
etc), Vadim has constantly expanded and refined his palette, giving
credence to Nas's assertion that "sleep is the cousin of death".
13) Oxes (Prison And I Were In A 5 Way mix by Cex) - Horses R OK
The Oxes are three guys from Baltimore, Maryland who play a grindingly
intense, churning, brutal brand of instrumental math rock - it's so
punishing it could be called trig rock, except it isn't that complex.
Their mate Cex (aka Ryjan Kidwell) also hails from Baltimore, records
for Tigerbeat6, thinks he's a rap star and often performs live in his
underwear. Together on this exclusive track, they're the best
combination from the Chesapeake Bay since crab cakes and Old Bay
seasoning.
14) Sagan - JabPunPlusOne
As the great astronomer Carl Sagan himself might have said, there are
billions of sounds floating around the laptop universe, and the San
Francisco-based multimedia Improv trio of J Lesser (of Lesser, Disc
and Matmos's live crew), Blevin Blectum (from Blectum From Blechdom)
and video artist Ryan Junell are on a mission to discover them all.
Although the group have performed frequently around the Bay Area,
"JabPunPlusOne" is their first cosmic fugue to go public via CD. Their
first album will be released by Asphodel sometime next year.
15) Leafcutter - John Mandolin Work (Edit)
After becoming disillusioned at art school, John Burton ditched the
brushes and canvas first in favour of performance-based work and then
hard drives and the Max/MSP programming environment. Attracting
comparisons to Autechre, Pimmon and his label boss, Mike Paradinas,
Leafcutter John combines often abstract field recordings and snippets
of folk tunes with brittle, glitchy, parsed electronics and granular
synthesis. "Mandolin Work" is an as yet unreleased track from his
forthcoming album due out on Planet Mu next year.
16) Sun (Pluramon remix) - Reach For The Sky
Sydney based duo Sun is the unusual pairing of experimental guitarist
Oren Ambarchi with music figurehead and soundtracker (his portofolio
includes Dead Poets' Society) Chris Townend. Their debut album,
released next year, is inspired by melancholic pop outfits like Talk
Talk - quite a departure for Ambarchi, who is better known for his
uncompromising guitar stirrings with artists like Otomo Yoshihide and
Phill Niblock. "Reach For The Sky" has been reworked by Cologne based
Marcus Schmickler aka Pluramon.
Tracklisting CD-2
01) Max Tundra - Mastered By Guy At The Exchange
Beginning as something you might have picked up on Rough Trade 20
years ago only to evolve (or devolve, depending on how low you like to
wear your trousers) into particulated disco, "Mastered By Guy At The
Exchange" amply displays the range of influences that Ben Jacobs has
brought to bear on his off-kilter electronica since his debut, 1998's
"Children At Play".
02) Wire - Spent
Along with The Fall the only members of punk's first wave that can
still walk with their heads held high, Bruce Gilbert, Colin Newman,
Graham Lewis and Robert Grey (aka Robert Gotobed) haven't stood still
since they burst on the scene with the extraordinary Pink Flag in
1977. The group ushered in their Silver Jubilee with Read & Burn,
their first recording with the original line-up since 1990's Manscape,
and an intense, vitriolic return to their original, abrasive sound.
03) Sonic Youth/ICP/The Ex III
This abstract miniature, which was recorded last year in Holland, is
further evidence (as if any were needed) of Sonic Youth's
extraordinary enthusiasm for testing their limits and leaping into the
fray. "III" can be found on In The Fishtank which documents an
impromptu jam session between Sonic Youth (a line-up which includes
percussionist William Winant, but not Kim Gordon) and Dutch
improvisors Han Bennink, Ab Baars and Wolter Wierbos (from the Instant
Composers Pool), and Terrie and Luc from The Ex.
04) Sigur Rós - untitled
With the epic, cinematic sweep, plangent strings, melodramatic
melodies and mournful vocals of their breakthrough album, Agœtis
Byrjun, Jon Thor Birgisson, Georg Holm, Kjartan Sveinsson and Orri
Pall Dyrason became the biggest thing to come out of Iceland since
Björk. "Untitled" is from their new Fat Cat album, helpfully titled
().
05) John Fahey - Red Cross, Disciple Of Christ Today (For Guitar
Roberts)
Few people have expanded the range of their chosen instrument the way
John Fahey broadened the scope of the acoustic guitar. By using blues
and Country fingerpicking styles to express more 'complex' ideas from
Indian ragas and Charles Ives, Fahey spanned both continents and
traditions. "Red Cross, Disciple Of Christ Today" is taken from Red
Cross (which will be released next year on Revenant), Fahey's last
recordings before he died last year.
06) A Small Good Thing - A Mighty Stillness (Remix)
Big skies, tumbling tumbleweeds, whoopin' banditos, six-gun shooters
sitting under sagebrush sippin' sarsparilla: they're all to be found
on the two volumes of A Small Good Thing's Ambient ode to the Wild
West, Slim Westerns. Wonderfully evocative of the lone prairie and
Monument Valley they may be, but these two albums were recorded by
three refugees from former Fourth Worlders O Yuki Conjugate (Andrew
Hulme, Tom Fazzini and Mark Sedgwick), who live in London, Leeds and
Hull.
07) The Sea And Cake - Left Side Clouded
Featuring Archer Prewitt, Sam Prekop, John McEntire and Erik Claridge,
The Sea And Cake are the supergroup of the Chicago indie scene. All of
the Windy City hallmarks are here: post-Krautrock meandering, loping
tempos, diffident guitars, gentle, warm tones and shy-boy lyrics and
vocals all wrapped in a gauzy electronic membrane. "Left Side Clouded"
is from their latest supersession, One Bedroom, which will be released
on Thrill Jockey in January.
08) Masha Qrella - I Want You To Know
Masha Qrella is usually associated with two largely instrumental
German groups, Contriva (for whom she plays bass and guitar) and Mina
(for whom she plays keyboards). As a solo artist, Qrella is an
intimate, impressionistic singer-songwriter in the vein of David
Grubbs or Elliot Smith. She played all of the instruments on her first
solo album, Luck, which was released on Monika Enterprises earlier
this autumn.
09) Dictaphone - The E.Song
Berlin based composer Oliver Doerell (electronics) has joined
actor/musician Roger Döring (saxophone, clarinet), who formed
Orchestra Obscure with Rudi Moser (Einstürzende Neubauten) back in the
days, to form the duo Dictaphone. The duo, whose crackly, melancholic
soundscapes are reminiscent of artists like Pole and Kit Clayton, will
be releasing a full album on Berlin/Manchester label City Centre
Offices.
10) Pulseprogramming - Blooms Eventually
A multimedia collaboration between musicians Joel Kriske and Marc
Hellner, graphic designer Hans Seeger and video/film artist Eric
Johnson, Pulseprogramming originated in Portland, Oregon. Their
careful pop sensibility and gentle vocodings create a warmth rarely
ascribed to electronic music. Drawing inspiration from artists like
Mouse On Mars, Boards Of Canada and Telefon Tel Aviv (whose Charlie
Cooper mixed the record), Pulseprogramming release a new album on
Aesthetics next year.
11) Electrelane - This Deed
Verity Susman (keyboards, vocals), Emma Gaze (drums), Rachel Dalley
(Bass) and Mia Clarke (guitar) make up this young Brighton based avant
rock outfit. Located somewhere between Broadcast and Neu!, Electrelane
started out in 1998 and own their own record company Let,s Rock!.
"This Deed" has been recorded exclusively for The Wire Tapper 9.
12) Ellery Eskelin Trio - 43 RPM
Kansas born tenor saxophonist Ellery Eskelin formed his trio with
Andrea Parkins (accordion, piano and sampler) and percussionist Jim
Black back in 1994, since when they have amassed a large body of work.
Neither 100 per cent free nor completely improvised, the outfit's
direction is never predictable. "43 RPM" is an exclusive edit taken
from a forthcoming Hat Hut album that is due out in spring next year.
13) Jimmy Lyons - Jump Up
Underrecorded and undersung, Jimmy Lyons was nevertheless one of the
great alto saxophonists in jazz. His reedy tone and flurries of notes
were regularly heard in the Cecil Taylor Unit from 1961 until his
death in 1986. "Jump Up" was recorded in Geneva in May 1984 with
bassoonist Karen Borca and drummer Paul Murphy, and will form part of
Ayler Records' projected five CD box set of Lyons material.
14) Amon Tobin - El Wraith
This Brazilian born breakbeat adventurer must be hooked on filters and
distortion software. His fourth album, Out From Out Where, released on
Ninja Tune, continues where he last left off: compressed, heavy
rhythms filled with dark textures and murky drones from what sounds
like a digital didgeridoo. The string and vocal samples on "El Wraith"
gives his work a distinct soundtrack quality.
15) D'Arcangelo - All That J
If you believe the style mags and all the hipsters who hang around
Shoreditch and Williamsburg, then retro electro-funk synth-pop is the
sound of 2002. Ask Italian brothers Marco and Fabrizio D'Arcangelo,
however, and they will tell you that this was the sound of Rome circa
1998. Along with fellow Italians Marco Passarani and Bochum Welt,
D'Arcangelo's records on ACV, Nature, Monomorph and Rephlex helped lay
the groundwork for all the sullen fashion students currently raiding
the Berlin back catalogue.

Bij Donner hadden ze 'm niet. Wel de nieuwe Uncut (met favoriete liedjes van
Keith Richards) en de OOR (met Oorgasm) meegenomen, dus toch wat lees- en
luistervoer.

Je schijnt het blad te kunnen krijgen voor 6 euro. Ik heb er 9 euro
voor betaald. Ik kom qua naamsbekendheid ook niet veel verder dan jij.
Onderstaande namen had ik weleens van gehoord:

> > 04) Múm - We Have A Map Of The Piano

> > 14) Amon Tobin - El Wraith
En alleen van Mum, Wire, Sonic Youth, Sigur Ros en The Sea and the
Cake had ik al daadwerkelijk muziek gehoord. Van Amon Tobin heb ik wel
's wat gedownload, maar eigenlijk nooit echt goed naar geluisterd.

Blijft grappig, want behalve Leafcutter en Múm zijn dat exact ook "mijn
bekenden".
Wel heb ik zelfs een LP van Suicide; die timmeren al jaren aan de
electro-weg.
