Wow, so that's who that is. I picked up a "Mixashawn & Word, Out..." =

hello,
- -Godspeed You Black Emperor is coming to town in a couple of
- -weeks with Mecca Normal. What do you guys think of these bands?
i saw them play in montreal about a year ago and while i enjoyed
the night, i wasn't that taken with them. labradford was there and
i thought that these three guys filled the sonic landscape of the
night better then the 10 or so musicians that make up godspeed.
they have such a massive sound, and i felt that they where going
through certain motions (bringing up the volume and intensity of
the pieces) in a way that i felt was mechanical and served only
to tense me up ... i'm not sure if this is making any sense at all.
maybe i can relate it to horror films, the way that they sometimes
surprise, or shock instead of scare and terrify. the old hitch take
on anyone can bring up the volume and momentarily shock you,
but it takes skill to build up suspense.
not that they have this terrible way to make people jump in their
seats or anything ... but i remember feeling a bit shaken afterwards.
maybe it's just me.
i do remember hearing a piece by A SILVER MOUNT ZION a while
back and really thinking it was good. more balanced. i don't know
what the tune was called or what the album is called ... does anyone
have it - is it any good? (i think i would buy it)
and i did just recently re-read the WIRE article on GODSPEED
and really enjoyed what the guitarist (Efrim i think) had to say.
- -The short sound samples I've heard weren't enough to pass
- -judgment. I don't want to find out they were fantastic after
- -I miss the show.
well, you're talking to a guy here that doesn't have the privilege
to live in an area that has good live music. only local bands that
are terribly bad.
so, YES go see them!!!

I must confess I have never heard about Mecca Normal, but I am probably the
biggest godspeed you black emperor! on this list... So, I would say go and
enjoy one of the best live bands! But, I am not the most objective person for
this... I think they evolved since last year. They are probably more tight
then they were during their last North American tour (Fall 99). At least they
sound like they are. They also have two new songs ("12-28-99" and "Tazer
Floyd") that are excellent. While it remains in their kind of music, it is
different than their previous compositions. I would also suggest their latest
album _Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven_. Very good with some
interesting tape loops, drones, etc.

The A Silver Mt Zion album is called _He Has Left Us Alone But Shafts Of
Light Sometimes Grace the Croner of Our Rooms..._. It is one of my favorite
album since its release last March. It can take time to get used to it, but
there are some wonderful moments. And I love this title "the world is
sickSICK; (so kiss me quick)"... The band consists of Thierry on bass, Sophie
on violon and Efrim on piano/tape loops/all-the-rest (all three members of
gybe!). They also have some guest musicians like Sam Shalabi and Aidan
(drummer of gybe!).
Bonne fin de soiree,
Mathieu (qui parle evidemment francais!)

Maybe I should ask why individuals who don't play, record, tour, or share
common interests (since Bruford won't play the kind of percussion Fripp
wants) with the band are in the band?

I ordered the Zorn/Eye 100 CD box and started putting up a new shelf, only
for that box. I remember trying to explain a friend exactly why I was doing
this, and it made me think again... "Don't you get it?? I MUST have 100 CDs
of two guys screaming and honking a saxophone!"
But naturally, when I stopped thinking about it, I didn't care...

Subject: Carl Stone
Caught Carl Stone at Roulette (NYC) the other night. His "Mom's" on New
Albion has been a major favorite of mine for a number of years and I've
also enjoyed his collaboration with Otomo and his album on em:t,
"Nyala". However, more recent recorded work of his I'd found wanting,
especially "Exusiai", which really tested my patience, so I went in to
the show somewhat dubiously.
He performed on Powerbook more or less without interruption aside from a
technical glitch or two. The first 20 or so minutes sounded like a
pastiche of Terry Riley circa "Shri Camel", the next 10 a secondhand
plunderphonic exhibition. The sonic quality itself was shallow and
obvious enough that I thought perhaps he might have been intentionally
"cheapening" the sound for some reason; I was probably giving him too
much credit. A woman in the audience had brought an infant who began
crying as soon as the concert started; thus far into the show, I
preferred the baby. Glitch taken care of, Stone began an overlapping
series of descending, whooshing patterns that were fairly attractive for
a minute or two, but gradually morphed into more pastel washes. I found
myself regretting one aspect of Powerbook composers: they rarely get
physically tired enough to take a break. Finally, in the last 6 or 7
minutes, using what I'm fairly convinced were warped samples from the
concluding, instrumental portion of "Axis: Bold as Love", Stone built a
thick, complex matrix of sound with some meat on the bone. This was the
Stone I'd known and loved. I could've easily listened to a whole show
like this.
Any other thoughts on Stone's work, especially recent stuff?

still finding himself pronouncing AMM as a single word)
