Never heard of Kowald before, found two 10 min solos on spotify... mesmerizing. Thank you very much for that recommendation...!

cool, it´s great isn´t it! Kowald played with all the classic free jazz figures from the 60s onwards, both in Europe and America, starting with Peter Brötzmann. But sadly he passed away a couple of years ago. I´d never thought sounds like this could be made from a simple bass, was quite overwhelmed when i first heard it some months ago. Another brilliant bass-record, but with drums as well, is the Henry Grimes/Rashied Ali - Spirits aloft cd, more of a jazz feel, but there´s some really weird sounds on that one...!
I rather like solo-instrument records, must be quite a challenge for the artist to do. One of my favorite drummers Paal Nilssen-Love have made a solo drum cd and also one with drums/electronics, i must check them out!

IRM - Order4 has been on rotation a fair bit the past few days. First experience with this band and definitely going to seek out more.

I'd recommend everything. Especially the 10" and 12" on Segerhuva and the Nihil comp on CMI.

... and also Oedipus Dethroned (one of my all-time faves)!

$30 for quality music is not soo bad. With shipping for 2 LPs it may be expensive though. Unless your converting from the Euro. All the bands play well except I think the Institut side is pretty weak. But the Nod tracks are really excellent. Each bands plays about 20-25 min worth of material so you're getting a fair bit of music. And I don't want to spoil the surprise of Sharon's Last Party but it's again, even better than most of their other material.

I take this opportunity to let you know that Autarkeia re-released the debut "Red Album". First time in CD I guess

Well, there's not too much material to choose from, is there? There's only the 7" on Segerhuva and the later tape, which is a whole different affair. The main difference probably being that Martin Bladh was part of the Nihil recordings (+ maybe also on the 7", I don't remember now?) - the music shifted in the same way Adolphi's musical interests changed considerably during this period.

[GEWALTMONOPOL]

It is worth 30 dollars but you should be able to find it much cheaper than that. I'm sure CMI still has copies but of course you take your chances ordering from him. There must be several brand new copies sitting in distros out there who can't wait to get rid of them. Keep looking.

Yes, the Institut side is probably the weakest I've heard from him/them. For Institut I recommend getting the Unto the Last Man 2 x 7" and work your way forwards. The releases before that are shit.


I got this in the post this morning. A Cage CD compiling material from the period when he was still fucked up and doing tons of drugs. Before he matured and became a bit boring.

[absurdexposition]

well, I mean, it's $30 including shipping (roughly $18 before). I did say "ppd" in my original post. thanks for the tips, though. i think i'll aim for it. only reason shipping is so much is because the seller is in Canada, and we have ridiculous postal rates. sucks there's nothing else I want from the guy to combine on shipping.

[imaginaryforces]

Antti Rannisto - Ääniesineitä
Autechre & The Hafler Trio - æ³o & h³æ
Failing Lights - Failing Lights
Prurient - The History of Aids
Sleeparchive - LBB Works

In that case, it would be totally worth it! As others have said, Institut are uncommonly weak here, but the other acts more than make up for it. It's a quality release with thick, heavy vinyl records and all.

Blodvite - Hämnaren tape
Alfarmania - Over Europe 2010 tape
Lust For Youth - Bodies In Barrels tape
Haare - Funeral of Souls CD

[absurdexposition]

Ended up finding it for $22ppd. Funny thing is it's cheaper for someone in the US to mail something to Canada than it is to mail Canada-Canada. Looking forward to it. Everything I keep hearing about IRM is good.


In relation to playlist:

I checked out Peter Kowald, couldn't find Bass Solo, but got Bass Duets, and was pretty into it. Is Bass Solo more rhythmic at all?

M.B. - Symphony for a Genocide also got a play last night.
