Alan] http://www.museumfire.com/ and http://www.museumfire.com/news >From now until sometime in early March (of my choosing) we are running a special on our releases by Alan Sondheim. First off is "The Songs", http://www.museumfire.com/sondheim.htm a reissue of the Riverboat Records release from 1967 with Ritual Al-770. Dan Wharburton of Paris Transatlantic found the occasion to comment thusly upon reviewing: .An endearingly ramshackle melting pot of free jazz, blues and folk (if Eugene Chadbourne later described his work as "free improvised country & western bebop" then this is "free improvised Hawaiian flamenco gospel blues music theatre).. its influence resonates in the free folk of today's New Weird America scene." After that we released "Ski/nn", http://www.museumfire.com/skinn.htm recent recordings on acoustic guitar and alpine zither. The review in The Wire stated: .He wades into each track using a strong sense of rhythm to tame and shape his often harshly dissonant figures. Whether at a stately pace or in rapid scrabble, the music evokes an ethnographic hybrid of countless string instrument traditions, from koto to bluegrass, vigorously wiping past idiomatic technique as it does so. As a rough equivalent, you'd do equally well to imagine either David Fair or Derek Bailey punking out in imitation of Robbie Basho. The results are so compellingly idiosyncratic that any number of newly bearded Americans and brazen improv festival tryhards pale as extremely corny in comparison." At the end of last year we released "Boojum", http://www.majmua.museumfire.com/boojum.htm a keyboard odyssey and a tribute to his feline companions through the ages. Too new to have a review! We are making all three of these fine releases available for $20, as always with these specials the price includes postage, no matter where on the globe you reside. As a thank you, we will be including a cd-r of recordings from earlier this month of Alan on electric saz, yayli tanbur, cura cumbus & ukulele. Alan is joined by Azure Carter on three of these tracks. To order, send payment via paypal to sales at museumfire dot com - [email protected] - and be sure to mention "sondheim special" in the subject header or the text of the message. So pick up the catalog releases of Alan Sondheim and a disc of recordings unavailable elsewhere! At Fire Museum Records/Majmua Music, we do it because we care.. _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
