Peter Szöke - The Unknown Music of Birds (brief edit) 256k 8.3mb " Bird song is not as it seems to man as he hears it under normal conditions in nature, nor do the birds themselves perceive it in that seemingly natural form. It is possible to slow down (stretch) bird song (the tape recording) to 2, 4, 8, 6 and 32 times its natural duration...Once they are slowed down in an appropriate form, then our ears can recognize the true melodic structure [...]

**** theme music title sequence: peering into through the windows of Palais de l' Elysées we see Nicolas creaking on all floors. a mouse dangles between his teeth - it's mouthing " 90101-5l-l ". **** Interior - Jacques' house. The phone rings and Jacques answers. In a split screen we see Nicolas lying on his belly daintily eating chocolates from a heart-shaped box while his other hand plays with the phone cord. "I'm bored" he said "invite me to dinner with your gang... I promise to [...]

Lovers rock. verb and noun. "For us then all letters are pornographic and this dedimensionalism reaches its psychopathic conclusion in 0s and 1s which reduce love to a penetrative function. All language is sexual and its power is in creating forcefields which manipulate and shape behavior between the poles of birth and death through the construction of an individual point of view based on the visual organ – I. It is areas in this space that is locked and unlocked through an alphabet of bodily positions which are learnt and performed by military inteligence occultists in both [...]

force nine gales. no salvage. Bpemms in and out of 140. 8-bit coda at the end. The 2nd track is my screw of a bongo-flava track from Tanzania (thanks to zhao for that). Bishnu Majhi is a star of Nepali lok pop - a style that's grown out of traditional lok dohori (call and response singing/flirting).

140bpm reductionism here . This idea of the ' hardcore continuum ' (post-rave permutations) in uk music has been coming up a lot recently. I wasn't sure if it even bore comment up til now, but it won't go to bed so here goes: I've always been suspicious of people who write about music (myself included), and more suspicious of people who write about music professionally (disclaimer: this isn't meant vindictively). When writers erect enclosures around 'their' patch it is for reasons that have more to do with the way they perceive themselves than anything [...]

IN FRIENDSHIP and gratitude for everything that he has given to us personally and to humanity through his love and his music, we bid FAREWELL to Karlheinz Stockhausen, who lived to bring celestial music to humans, and human music to the celestial beings, so that Man may listen to GOD and GOD may hear His children. On December 5th he ascended with JOY through HEAVEN'S DOOR, in order to continue to compose in PARADISE with COSMIC PULSES in eternal HARMONY, as he had always hoped to do: You, who summon me to Heaven, Eva, Mikael and Maria, let [...]

An old 'New Thing': more ex-patriated fire music from Europe* Many of these mp3s were originally posted at the now secretive church number 9 blog. The blog took its name from this LP from the Frank Wright quartet ( Frank Wright : tenor sax, Noah Howard: alto sax, Mohamed Ali; drums & Bobby Few; piano). The LP is 2 sides/2 improvisations. Jazz signifiers (refrains and solos) elevate and tumble. As Val Wilmer's sleeve notes observe, Coltrane looms large over Wright; something you can also hear in his release as a duo with [...]

New Burial LP out today... The level of hy pe this has received makes me expect a backlash... we shall see, but when artists are put on pedestals its tempting to only see the pedestal and not the thing on top of it. For the record, there's nothing wrong with a coffee table. I, for one, don't always want to put my mug on the floor. The record is good by the way - reminds me of Bukem/early Metalheadz (metalheadz re-presses also [...]
