Ubu has added two collections of Angus Maclise crucial audio documents that were released by Quakebasket some years back. Do yourself the biggest favor if you haven’t already…

the radiant mirror
One of my favorite duo records of the past few years is available at Free Music Archive this week. The Flower/Corsano duo is touring the US this month and next (for the first time?) and I hope I get to see them.

live clip from a couple of years back:
recommended
The CBS Radio Workshop’s recording of “Brave New World”, narrated by Aldous Huxley and featuring the music of Bernhard Hermann. Never has dystopia sounded so ramshackle and dreamy. Hermann’s economical score is one of my (newest) favorites..check it out…I bought it at Weirdo.
there’s only one rob aa lowe
After last night’s great triple bill at the ICA (Om, Six Organs of Admittance and Lichens), I am well convinced that Rob is an utter polymath or just…my kind of musician. I only caught a small part of his solo, which was amazing, but his contributions as a new live member of Om were a joy to watch. His vocal turns (on “Cremation Ghat I” from the new record) provided some of the highlights of the night. That and the bass shaking every girder in the theater.
