By "the two of them" do you mean Lynn and Larry or music and images?
Thanks for the list!

I'm surprised nobody's mentioned yet Steve Dalachinsky's "Incomplete Directions" CD (Knitting Factory Records, 1999). Poetry with accompanments by William Parker, Matthew Shipp, Susie Ibarra, Mat Manari, Assif Tsahar, etc. Excellent? I dunno, but definitely interesting.

Sorry, I did of course mean Lyn & Larry. (Obviously, I've seen
music+images at Langton over the years too -- I'll confess to having
read yr post too quickly & "heard" music+poetry, since that was what I
was in the middle of scribbling notes for, so the "oddly" probably reads
a bit odd itself.)

I don't recall exactly where I read this story, though I think it may have
been in a lengthy Goldmine interview Fripp gave about ten years ago, prior
to the Double Trio days. I know for certain that it's not something I could
have just made up. Robin Trower does not normally cross my mind.
Here's one for you, Marcin: what can you tell us about the band Kormorany?

I've never heard that version of the story. Would you say something
more about it?

Actually, the DJs in question are something of a minority... most of the
regular-by-volume posters that I've seen so far are refugees from
rec.music.industrial, which I'm sure will translate into years and years of
fruitful discussion of bands recording for Ant-Zen. Yippee.
But yes... given that the first I ever heard about the group was posted
to this list by Jon Abbey, seeing postings about little other than power
noise and circuit-bending is sort of disheartening.

Subject: Re: AMM and Brotz
Hi,
Can't keep up with all the digests but this caught my
eye. I don't see why there can't be music that kind
of straddles the areas these two occupy. Not that
they are necessarily polar opposites, but why does it
seem that things like this either fall under intense
and possibly insensitive or restrained and possibly
boring? Seems that when one wears itself out it can
bring in the other. If somebody knows of some music
that works like that I'd be interested. Cause there
are times when Brotzmann is the only one digging what
he's doing and AMM could bust out just a bit.
Anyway, I always feel awkward posting, since writing
about music is so difficult and declaring my opinion
