Greetings,
In the latest issue of Perfect Sound Forever <http://furious.com/perfect/index1020.html>, you'll find (among other things):
BRIAN ENO
Can you orchestrate ambient music?
article by Daniel Barbiero
"The problem that Jerry Pergolesi faced consisted in finding a way of translating the inputs and operations of Eno's original simple-melodies-and-looping mechanism into specific, scored gestures for Contact's musicians. The means Pergolesi chose for doing so involved constructing an ingenious, open-ended and genuinely indeterminate system that worked through a set of rules that would allow the individual musicians a significant degree of choice over what they could play at any given time."
HAWKWIND
The mad tale of their Space Ritual tour
Days of the Underground book excerpt by Joe Banks
"With its own alliances, revolving door membership, egos and power struggles, this motley group included not only a dancer and a science fiction writer but also metal-god Lemmy before he hatched Motörhead. Theirs is a tangled, twisted story that's worth telling in detail, blow by blow, and they've found a fine chronicler in the likes of Joe Banks whose new bio on the band (Days of the Underground, available from Strange Attractor) not only includes details of all of their albums in the '70's but also full interviews with numerous former band members."
KEITH TIPPETT
RIP- unique UK piano drama
tribute by Jorge Luis Fernandez
"Born in Southmead, Bristol, Tippett played piano, church organ, cornet and tenor horn in his early teens, and in 1967, he moved to London to pursue a career in music, taking menial jobs while performing in jazz clubs. By the early 1970's, he became somewhat of a fashionable figure. His punchy yet polished Sextet included the celebrated horns of Marc Charig, Nick Evans and Elton Dean (who, by that time, became an established fourth member of Soft Machine), along with bassists such as Harry Miller and Roy Babbington, and drummers like Alan Jackson and Nucleus' John Marshall (who, along with Babbington, would also join the Softs). "
We also have a Spotify playlist with most of the artists above here:

We're always looking for good writers and/or ideas so let us know if you have anything to share.
See you online,
Jason
