I've picked up two of them, Sunshine Filtering Through Foliage is all sort
of feedback electronics, very similar to Arcane Device, and not too bad
(and no piano at all). I later got Monsoon, which was recommended by a
Wire review, and have still had a hard time getting into it. It sounds
like he laid paper across the strings of the piano then hit the same notes
over and over. I can't really recommend Monsoon, but Sunshine isn't bad at
all.

It is pretty obvious that the debasement of the human mind caused by a
constant flow of fraudulent advertising is no trivial thing. There is more
than one way to conquer a country.

We've got several soundfile-accompanied reviews of Koji's work on motion,
which should make things a little clearer:

I wrote one of the Motion reviews and for the most part, rather dug
_Preparing for April_, his next-to-last release. He also just sent me his
latest, _Momentum_, but this one leaves me stone cold: the sound of a
microphone hovering between two speakers and creating mmm-mmm sounds and
feedback. Colour me perplexed.
According to his bio, he=B4s relatively young (born in the seventies), been
indeed residing in Barcelona for several years, has fifteen albums of
various sorts of electronic and acoustic experiments to his credit, and
does some installation work, too. Soon in Tokyo with some similarly-minded
artists.
All the best, Stephen

Subject: Re: Sun Ra
I feel like "Heliocentric Worlds" is my favorite, with the "Concert for the Comet Kohotek" coming in a close second. However, there is a new (or reissued? I'm not sure) CD called "The Sun Ra Arkestra meets Salah Ragab in Egypt" on Leo Lab's Golden Years Label. It's live from 74-75 and very good. It seems pretty accessible to an uninitiated person, and probably most accessible to a world music fan.

In my opinion, Doc Watson is one of the best flat-pickers ever. I love some of his song. However, on all the albums of his that I've heard, there are sooooo many stories (which I don't find terribly funny) that I find myself fast-forwarding through half the album. Be that as it may, he has some great albums. His album with his son Merle is my favorite, just stay away from his children's music albums.

Subject: Mark Dresser US Tour
** Mark Dresser Trio and Video Project Tour **
featuring Denman Maroney-hyper-piano,
Matthias Ziegler-flutes,
and Mark Dresser-bass and composition
In April, Mark Dresser will perform a stateside tour which includes the U.S.
premier of a contemporary silent video by the Kunst Brothers--a collaboration
with acclaimed video artist Tom Leeser and celebrated sculptor Alison Saar.
This new work made expressly for Mr. Dresser's composition "Subtonium," will
be performed live with video. The trio will also perform recent original
music composed for the silent film collaboration of Luis Bunuel and Salvador
Dali, "Un Chien Andalou." This music was released on the 1998 Knitting
Factory release Eye'll Be Seeing You. The evening will be structured in two
parts. The first part with videos and trio and the second half a concert of
new music for trio alone.
