I tried to download the Ghosting CD and it came in some odd file format I had never heard of, .ogg instead of mp3 or m4a. Weird. As for Reich, I'd start with Music For 18 Musicians, great.

Minimalism, jeez that's SO five minutes ago...
But seriously I love Steve Reich. I bought the big mammoth 10 CD set called Works 1965-1995. It has EVERYTHING, Piano Phase, Music for 18 musicians, clapping music, New York Counterpoint, the list goes on. If you are a fan I would suggest getting a hold on that set. It's 100% quality. |

How did I miss this thread??
Horse Rotorvator The Ape of Naples
Something was really wrong with Amazon on this release. I ordered it directly from Kranky when it came out (which was mid-October, yes) and got it fine, if you're still having trouble you should just do that.
Doesn't do much for me. Too safe.
What's it called?
Which album are you referring to ooc?
Piano Phase / Come Out / It's Gonna Rain Music For 18 Musicians |

Horse Rotorvator is one of my all-time faves. The Unnatural History series isn't bad either, and Love's Secret Domain is definitely worth owning. "Windowpane" is a great song. |

I like Love's Secret Domain a lot too.
Another item of this-thread-related trivia: I got my copy of Halve Maen at Other Music in New York. Oh and foobar2000 will play Ogg Vorbis files just fine. |

Yeah I was finally able to get a physical copy of this as well, now that it has been reissued. As for whoever was joking about minimalism being SO five minutes ago, if you want we can talk about spectralism instead. |

Steve Reich - If you like Music for 18 Musicians and/or his early tape stuff you should check out Different Trains. The style in this piece was copped (and IMO a bit butchered) by (or at least it inspired bits of) the last books album and the fiery furnaces on 'Rehearsing My Choir.'

It's called Pleasure Ground. I've only listened to it twice so far and I was pretty shocked with the change in style. First of all, the piece actually uses some traditional goth synth tones (blasphemy!) and the songs are longer, slower to develop, and overall I think more subtle than his previous work. To be honest I love the change. For some reason Pleasure Ground, for all its accessibility, is the most devastating of Prurient's releases. There is an undertow of depression rolling throughout. Also thanks for the Coil recommendations, I'll be sure to check those out. |

Yes indeed. That new Prurient record is fucking destruction incarnate. It is definitely strange how Dominick Fernow managed to work so much actual melody into a record that is more dynamic than most noise records I've heard this year. You turn Pleasure Ground up past about 2 or so and it literally starts doing physical damage to your speakers, not in some metaphorical sense either. It has piercing highs and super low-end rumble. Incredible.

Thanks for the Reich recommends. I was just looking at my year end list and there is a hefty amount of slots filled by Avant Garde artists. So I think that for those who frequent this thread I would love to see your top 10 Avant of 2006 lists. And, uh, here is mine:
1. Tim Hecker - Harmony in Ultraviolet 2. Broken Deer - Displaced Field Recordings 3. Geoff Mullen - Thrtysxtrllnmnfstns 4. OOIOO - Taiga 5. Keith Fullerton Whitman - Lisbon 6. Greg Haines - Slumber Tides 7. Mouthus - The Long Salt 8. Eluvium - When I lived by the Garden and the Sea EP 9. Belong - October Language 10. Chihei Hatakeyama - Minima Moralia Stuff I haven't got to in 2006 that I wish I would have for this list: The Boats – Tomorrow Time Magik Markers – A Panegyric to the Things I Do Not Understand Mountains – Sewn Cloudland Canyon – Requiems Der Nature 2002-2004 Yellow Swans – Psychic Secession Sunn O))) – Black One (This is 2006, right?)

I think there needs to be some serious discussion about this new Goslings album because it is insanely amazing. Grouper's Wide through me for a loop too.
How was Geoff Mullen JB? |

Geoff Mullen was awesome. Unfortunately his set was surprisingly short. There were some technical difficulties and he ended up only playing a handful of the tracks from his second record The Air in Pieces, which I think is even better than thrtysxtrllnmnftsns. A friend of his that was performing under the moniker Black Hand joined him for some impromptu drone stuff that sounded a lot like Double Leopards or Hototogisu to me. All in all they played for a total of maybe 35 minutes.
I haven't heard that Goslings record yet. I need to Soulseek it. I've heard good things about it from friends and it got a nice review on Tinymixtapes too. |

Here is a really good avant filled year end top 50: http://oldsunnewsun.blogspot.com/

Yeah I love it. I had never heard their previous work at all. The sheer resonance of sound coupled with incredible shredded vocals really sold me outright. In completely different news: having a bit of an ambient streak lately I checked out Blamstrain's Disfold. This is definitely one of the best ambient albums I've heard in awhile. It's centered around a futuristic city. Definite train motifs running throughout. He fully realizes an entire world full of sound on this disc. |

Hey JB,
I think I saw that you had the new Max Richter on your year end list. What do you think of it? |
|||
|
|
Jedi |
I really enjoyed the Max Richter record. If you've hard Blue Notebooks its like that but with more strings and less piano. Not a huge difference but lovely all the same.
