Those of you who were having trouble finding discs by the various
spectralists discussed a little last week, including the Grisey set
on Accord (which doesn't turn up on most of the US catalogs I've
seen), might want to try the following French Web site:
<http://www.cdmail.fr/gb/sommaire.htm>.
The prices seem good once you subtract the VAT (the form on the Web
site will calculate this for those of us living outside the EU) &
their service has come with recommendations from people I trust.
Also, the new Wire just arrived (taking longer to get halfway across
the country to Texas than it does to get to Seattle, but that's
another story) with a long-ish article on Jonathan Harvey with some
discussion about spectralism in it.
Bests,
Herb

Hate to chime in with a negative opinion, but it took me almost a year of
constant e-mail reminders to shake loose a copy of a CD that I ordered from
CD Mail. Every response promised to rectify the situation immediately, only
to be followed by total silence and a lack of delivery. Since it was a very
obscure Tim Berne (and also because Southern males tend to get really
fixated on closure) I kept up the messages until finally I received the item.
Had they not had it in stock and weren't able to provide it I would have
had no problem with them, but my plastic was billed and they never said
anything about lack of supply, leading me to conclude that that wasn't the
issue.
Enough said on a distasteful topic, but I feel that I must, in good faith,
relate my dealings with CD Mail.
Saturnally,

Subject: Cibo M
Hello gang,
I'm a bit puzzled about the appeal of Cibo Matto. I remember seeing them mentioned here, and I had no reservations about buying it given that Douglas, Ribot, and 2/3 of MMW are on board the album (Stereotype A). But I find it barely creative. Nothing that Beastie Boys or Bjork don't do 10times better. What's the deal? Has it grown on any of you? Are these guys just paying the rent by playing on this record?? Or perhaps their incentive is scoring some cute and spunky Japanese ladies?? Can't figya it out...
