Richard Pinhas & Merzbow

While browsing the ever changing and time consuming Cuneiform site, I came across a real treasure: Richard Pinhas & Merzbow collaboration. Never before have I heard such a romantic noise scuplture , it is a really enjoyable hum/music. Guess we have Richard Pinhas to thank to, since Merzbow does not make noise in this vein.
Absolutely beautiful, I tell you.

Cuneiform Story


A fine compilation covering the great Cuneiform label. Dating from 2005, catalog number MJCD 1172, Italy, from the Musica Jazz magazine.
Containing great track from the early Soft Machine (with Robert Wyatt on drums!), my personal favourites Impossible John by The Muffins, and a great track Misty Hymen by The Claudia Quintet.

Jučer, danas, sutra


Hrvatska glazba jučer danas sutra. Upravo tako, iako kronološki gledano trebalo bi se zvati davno nekad i jučer ali zanemarimo gnjavažu zvanu vrijeme, povijest, kronologija itd. ionako izgleda to ništa ne postoji po najnovijim dostignućima znanosti i umjetnosti bla bla.
Prvi u nizu, album je hrvatskih crkvenih napjeva, gregorijanskih korala, dakle srednji vijek - Hortus Musicus - Croatian Music of the XI-XIV Centuries, estonskog "ansambla" Horticus Musicus.
Izdavač Melodija, dakle CCCP.
Zvuči zanimljivo i moćno.

The album of gregorian chants of Croatian origin, dating from medieval times and the Ars Nova (what more seductive and unsettling times.) This vocal group in singing fills me to the soul in terms of singing, vocal chords to the spirit of those who sing.
Sunniva, the owner told me this LP was recorded in the cathedral Oleviste, Estonia. If you havn't ever heard Gregorian chants, I think it's a great way to leave and go into the real passion of christianity

Drugi po redu je, glupo je reći ali je istina, legendarni Homo Istrioticus Franci Blašković sa jednim od svojih 156 albuma (lažem ko pas ali snimio ih je npu racku...), i to projekt Rostiglio, jedno od najdotjeranijih njegovih izdanja u zadnjih ohoho godina. Zadnje nešto ovako fokusirano je bio, mislim, Masterplan, ili čak možda još raniji Kobra je u brajdi.
Franci raspušta Gori Ussi Winnetou nakon 59.albuma i snima pod drugim nazivima a jedan od njih je ovdje prisutni Rostiglio. Jule je ovdje zaslužan za sve tekstove i muziku i sve je sam odsvirao a Franci je odpjevao. Na albumu se sviraju svi pravci u muzici pa možemo čuti akustiku,metal,elektroniku,folk,progressive rock,funk,gothic, industrial,punk itd. Inače ovo je Francijev 65.album.

I na kraju treći, kronološki jebza ali realno i stvarno nešto što pripada budućnosti odnosno nečemu što bi moglo biti budućnost.
Ivo Malec. O njemu više drugi put. I to u FLAC-u. Majke mi.
