i don't remember seeing him being mentioned here...which is a surprise really..i only found out about him yesterday, and im listening to 'world of arthur russell' atm, it's great stuff, quite unique music, so diversed album it makes my head spin...from straight beats, to jazz improvization, to 80's synth music, ...plenty of cool vocals. im definitely going to check him out properly! |

Finally someone that has heard of Arthur Russell! I've made several threads on Russell over the years, but no response ever! World of Echo is the single most important album of my life. It changed my view of music completely. I actually have the original 1986 Rough Trade vinyl. I bought it in 1993 in a vinyl dumping sale for a quid! The only reason I bought it was the fact that it was released on Rough Trade. Imagine how I was blown away when I put that record on for the first time! And now, finally, its out there on cd, with a dvd to go with it: AWESOME! World of echo is totally original music, you'll hear nothing like it anywhere else.. Its a record to totally immerse oneself in. |

omg, thanks for that!! :) i was begining to think there's something wrong with me and deadeight, since we're apperantly the only one that care about this hehe. i can't possibly imagine how it must have felt in 1993, coz im totally blown away now in 2004 - after all the albums i've heard!! it's just as brilliant as music gets!! |

Indeed, it is! It's a shame he died in 1992 of aids, but its great that more people today are able to get to know his music through these reissues. I was very upset at first to know that the limited edition of world of echo would be so limited, so I sent a mail: Re: World of echo limited editon n 11/26/04 4:55 AM, wrote: > Is this supposed to be some kind of joke? A limited edition of 300 copies! > I've been waiting 11 years for a reissue of this on cd and now it's available > in only 300 copies. Its hilarious!

You can buy it via: www.forcedexposure.com The single CD will have the bonus tracks, but no DVD. Best, Steve |

You lucky bastard! I've ordered it through a local record shop that I trust will be able to get hold of a few copies for me. I so look forward to hear this album remastered coz I've more or less worn out my original copy on vinyl.... |

remind me again, which album of his should I download from you, Goran? I can only find one, at the moment. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you're getting the wrong one...'the world of echo' is the one you need. |
||||||||
|

|
|
what's that tom waits you're getting?? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it might be that song I really liked in "coffee and cigarettes", under the scene The White Stripes acted out so badly. :) had a listen - it isn't! I'll have to get the whole of the soundtrack now! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that first Arthur Russell song is.. weird. this might be good.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
they were awesome in that scene...beth knows her physics. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the first two is just warming up :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
is she called Beth? I thought it was Meg. or is that her stagename. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh, heh, meg... :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it is the The Stooges-song. :) funny, I was just thinking I should get some Stooges-stuff. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
cool..i think i have some of that as well.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i got that special edition album today in case someone wants better quality mp3s :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
finally listening to the mp3s I downloaded from you, Goran. this is pretty nice. I especially like , which I've uploaded for the benefit of the casual xltronic user. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hm. when I look around to order "world of echo" I also see a 2-disc version from 1990 that supposedly includes a dvd. a dvd-edition from 1990? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that must be a mistake im almost sure. the dvd edition (which i got btw :) was released by the end of the last year. treehouse was the first one that got me really intrigued but i've heard iit on his other album first and all the other songs were quite different, but 'world of echo' pretty much consits of tunes all made onyl by cello, vocals and some percussion. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what's on the dvd? is it worth getting that edition? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hmm, there are two videos of him playing cello. one consits of the songs from 'world of echo' and the other one some of his other songs. it' wasn't filmed in an usual way though. camera really closes up on him - parts of his face, fingers, cello. im not sorry i got this special edition one bit because i love the album so much, and i don't think there's much of a difference i the price. so i guess if you're going to like the rest of the album the dvd is worth getting, i can always burn it and send it to you though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
there's also a version of "world of echo" on cd that came out a few days ago, which has a different tracklisting - may be only the sequence though: 1. Tone Bone Kone 2. Soon To Be Innocent Fun/Let's See 3. Answers Me 4. Being It 5. Place 6. She's The Star/I Take This Time 7. Treehouse 8. See Through 9. Hiding Your Present From You 10. Wax The Van 11. All Boy All Girl 12. Lucky Cloud 13. Tower Of Menaing 14. Let's Go Swimming 15. Name Of The Next Song 16. Happy Ending 17. Canvas Home |

that's the same one except there's one more song 'our last night together' on the one i have. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, great album. I asked a music store guy whose taste I respect what he's heard lately that's awesome and he recommended World of Echo. I listened to the first half minute of the first track and knew it was going to be one of the best things ever. I had my cd player so I was walking downtown with the flaming orange sunset reflecting off the buildings with this crazy brilliant beauty bouncing around in my head. |

|
World of Echo is very good, yes. |
