1951: SUMATRAN LADIES WEARING HATS AS OUTLAWED BYGOVERNMENT by Obeng Ungu & Jalan Buntu (with Group Uang Wayang of Palembang) 3 inch (80mm) CD and DRONE HILL 225 by Richard Harrison "[...]recorded 1997-1999 at DRONE HILL , south of a disused caravan site ( elevation 225) and north of a sheep wash ( elevation 238) at a point where electrified wires descend from the hilltops and meet. Mr Harrisons recordings made in drastically varying weather conditions and over three years use contact mics at the meeting point of the wires at the base of the hill. The results are near indescribable, sometimes sounding like Alvin Lucier , sometimes Merzbow or the Hafler Trio and even on one track close to being the best track that Microstoria never made...and all of this made by the actions of the weather on what is effectively the worlds largest Aeolian Harp...." ..both sound fascinating. Anyone heard any of this stuff? |

Oh and some of their blurb on 1951: SUMATRAN LADIES.. "Recorded on the shores of Lake Toba, 1981, this is a CD re-issue of an indonesian album released on Cassette Tape only in 1982. The composers Obeng Ungu & Jalan Buntu chose as the subject and inspiration for the music, quite tragic and horrific events during the first few years of Indonesian independence. The theme of the album seems to be the tremendous struggle of enlightened and 'OPEN' culture, engaging and absorbing outside influences, whilst being viciously oppressed by the conservative and 'closed' culture that holds power and wishes to keep that control at any cost. The actual music is a scarily childish mix of nursery-rhyme gamelan, indonesian style pop and early 80's electronic processing and sampling. Somehow it treads a triangular path between 23 Skidoo, Val Doonican & Harry Partch" |

Well, I have to admit I'm most disappointed in the people on this message board. Not because I think this thread or I myself deserve any kind of special treatment or so even a reply.. but obviously because I thought Aphex Twin was reasonably intelligent music and thus a board like this would feature some people with interesting or eclectic enough tastes to find the above interesting. I was obviously wrong and should henceforth only post "What's your fave AFX tune?" threads. |
