The '92 Boulez version is really great. But the stravinsky recording has
more attention paid to the quieter parts, and, without being that explosive,
certainly has its merits. And Petroushka is smuch better on 'stravinsky
conducts stravinsky' then on the boulez disc.
Other good versions of the rite are the Ozawa recording from the '60s with
Boston SO - very wild, with a very dirty, aggresive sound. Ant a fantastic
recording by Claudio Abbado & LSO from the '70s, now avaialble as a part of
a great (and cheap - kind of 'two for the proce of one') 2CD Deutsche
Grammophon set. Fast, loud, and brillant

I'm not sure Strawinsky conducting Strawinsky is really a reference in
itself,
whether remastered or not.
If you want to own a definitive, breathtaking, state-of-the-art recording of
"Sacre du Printemps", I would recommend you spend your bucks on the 1992
Deutsche Grammophon CD by Pierre Boulez with the Cleveland Orchestra (also
including "Petrushka"), and which is not to be confused with a ca.1970
version.

He was very critical of many version of the rite. he criticised von
Karajan's recording very strongly, saying that he conducts the piece as if
it had been Brahms, and wrote, as a conclusion of his critique (one of the
best statemnts on music): "In the Rite of sprong there's no place for
anxiety of the soul"

There's an Indian mandolin player (no, really) named
U. Srinivas who really knocks my socks out. I don't
have much of his stuff, but I can definitely recommend
"Rama Sreerama," on the Realworld label.
William Crump
i second the motion for U. Srinivas. Dawn Raga is another winner. also on
the Indian tip, there's a great slide guitar player named Brij Bhushan
Kabra. His recordings aren't so easy to find, but there is one called Call
of the Valley on EMI Hemishperes. It's Kabra, Hariprasad Chaurasia on flute
and Shivkumar Sharma on santoor. it's absolutely beautiful.
there's also a series that i believe has been discussed on the list earlier.
it's the Ethiopiques series on Buda and it's amazing. Ethiopian pop music
from the 60's and 70's. i've got the first 7 volumes and i've heard stuff
off 8 & 9. wow.

when miles was listing all of the costs of producing a recording
(signing, marketing, etc)...he does in fact list 'recording'...i thought
that it was quite common for the company to charge this cost to the
artist, to be subtracted from royalties (assuming that there are any).

in an old book about athens, georgia, called 'Party Out of Bounds', there is
a great piece of information about the copelands -
the CIA connection,
IRS records,
and The Police.
just a factoid...

"Balloon Mood" (1996) is Anja's _second_ record.
Her debut, "Velkommen Inn", which is oop, came out in 1992. ;)

I started dabbling in digital sound manipulation, and I am wondering
what applications laptop musicians [like ikue] tend to use. I am really
at the beginning stages of discovery using soundedit in conjunction
with protools, do any of you know of any other helpful [free or not]
apps.

I've also used Gold Wave with good results, often in conjunction with Audiomulch. Gold Wave is more of an editor and Audiomulch more a sound generator but that's only very roughly speaking. There are other editors with more tracks than Gold Wave's two but Gold Wave was fine for what I was doing (& I kinda liked the restriction). I've toyed with about a dozen other programs with more specific functions but can't remember any of their names off-hand.
The big industry powerhouse Power Tools offers a smaller home use version for free. I've heard from people who were quite happy with it but the system requirements were pretty high and would have been right on the edge for my computer so I never felt it was worth fiddling with.
