― 69, Wednesday, 25 March 2009 21:57 (fifteen years ago) link
maybe he's the guy you will copy it for as he's been looking for it too. you have to admit though, it was a good guess.

oh dogg no worries i got you on that tape shit -- ill throw AKWAABA on the b-side and blow ya whole mind
― 69, Thursday, 26 March 2009 14:20 (fifteen years ago) link
akwaaba is real nice - there's another bebey lp that i can't remember that's super too. it's way less polyrhythmic, but have you heard richard crandell's mriba stuff 69? real nice.

i havent! ive been interested in more f bebey, too, but havent been sure which to go for...
― 69, Thursday, 26 March 2009 15:15 (fifteen years ago) link
will try to find out what the bebey record is. it was much in the same vein. i get a little lost with that kind of thing, like hearing vocal or chant records, where there are so many that you could dedicate forever to them, but the bebey ones are nice and spiky and warm sounding.
richard crandell's the first song on this; i don't really have a frame of reference for it beyond minimalist composers etc but it's really hypnotic. and it makes you want to go buy a mriba.

has anyone gotten the van morrison vinyl reissues? if so do they sound great?

i think i like the sacred harp record a bit better fwiw.but i am not an africanophile.

ive heard the sacred harp record (on CD, was there an LP pressed? (LOL annoying question)), and totally love it
― 69, Thursday, 26 March 2009 16:27 (fifteen years ago) link
this is the VINYL THREAD pete. if it was the CD thread i probably would have talked about the doo wop box i just put on my computerz. makes the bitches swoon i hear.

this is my favourite vocal thing. there's the run of stores on maybe fifth and second that have all these enchanting looking folkways kinda TYPICAL KORA MUSIC OF NORTH JAPAN type releases that always look amazing but i wonder if i'd listen to again and again. interesting recommendations anyhow.
― deveraux billings (schlump), Thursday, 26 March 2009 19:14 (fifteen years ago) link
yeah im easing into ethnic folkways and explorer series so far, just picking up stuff ive heard about, or which sound up my alley. im sure in six months, ill kick myself for not picking up every eastern european folk-ballad LP while i had the chance :\ such is the curse of being a world-music doofus
― 69, Thursday, 26 March 2009 19:23 (fifteen years ago) link
i went through a phase of collecting lots of ethnic field recordings, and i still pick up certain things. but i eertainly have way more santur music LPs than I need. Fave labels are def Ocora, Lyrichord, Nonesuch, Ethnic Folkways & the Unesco Collection.
Some other fave ethnic folkways: Music of Mozambique; The Waswahili of Lamu, Kenya (three vol. series); Tribal Music of Australia. There's a series of Tibetan recordings on um, the Unesco label i think, that have some real gems. Epic, dense singing bowl/shawm/percussion drones.
Fave nonesuch LPs: Golden Rain (Balinese Gamelan); Voice of One Thousand Colors (Indian LP featuring the sarangi); and I forget the speecific title, but there's a v good LP of South Indian Carnatic vocal music.
― ian, Thursday, 26 March 2009 21:40 (fifteen years ago) link
were I nearer my LPs I could probably add more. I have a few Bulgarian Nonesuch LPs that are great.
Went shopping specifically for vinyl for the first time in awhile:
Land of the Loops - Multi-Family Garage Sale/Rotate 7"Kerosene 454 - Two for Flinching 7"Mecca Normal - Armchairs Fit Through Doorways 7"Dau Straun - Dragged Down/Poe Road (live) 7"Mason Proffit - Wanted!The Incredible String Band - Liquid Acrobat As Regards the AirThe Incredible String Band - RelicsGary Numan - TelekonSessions II (haven't listened to this yet, but it seems to be some synth-loaded fusion thing that features a bunch of session guys like Ritenour & Grusin - the cover art was too fantastic to pass up)

anybody else excited about drag city's george-edwards group reissue? never heard the original, but drag city has been on a reissue roll with private press-y obscuro stuff, like J.T. IV and death...

i like the mex summer kurt vile LP. it's kinda spacey/raga folk with ambient swooshes and some electric touches. indie?the new one on woodsist is also good.
pete: "Sleeping Beauty" is nice. I've only listened to it once so far, but it was laid back & groove-oriented overall, one of the tracks had group vocals that were along the usual lines...
― ian, Friday, 3 April 2009 22:47 (fifteen years ago) link
whenever i see original saturns under like $50 i think it's a good idea to pick them up, unless the condition is really bad. (will buy scratchy saturns, but will only go so far.)
