POPOL VUH - Herzog SoundtracksAll movie soundtrack stuff in big CD box. All discs in digipaks + hardcover book. Good stuff? Of course! Finally opened the box week ago and been listening these since.
Roel Meelkop & Mecha/Orga "Rotterdam 54:21" CDWho?? Don't know really. While one tries to openmindedly check out global experimental music, it is simply impossible task. Can't follow everybody, not even small fraction! Nevertheless, popping in CD and being captured by unknown (to me) artists and listening disc over and over againt without really being able to say why exactly this stood out from a lot of stuff that doesn't? Label says:
QuoteThis first collaboration between Roel Meelkop and Yiorgis Sakellariou consists of three pieces, two solos and one duet. Unusual and groundbreaking combination of modified field recordings and twisted sound of old analogue synths shows the distinct and personal approach to the electronic composition, shaped throughout the years of studio practice.
Groundbreaking...? Not sure, but very neat modified field recordings and electronics.
Z'EV "Handful of Elements" CDZ'ev.... hmm.. Not bad. But I have hard time really getting totally into new Z'ev. Not much wrong, but very little what captures my attention?
RIDE FOR REVENGE / SADOS split tapeTwo rehearsal (?) recordings of RFR style heavy and highly repeating patterns of black metal. SADOS, unlike previous recordings, is sort of black-noise. Bass, vocals, some sounds. Very primitive and simple stuff that unfortunately also falls into typicalities of "black noise".
