The Return of Fenn O'Berg

This is such an excellent album. It's like a lovely cocoon
being shaken to bits from within, just Amazing Music. I know
most fennesz stuff, and a little jim o'rourke from his
insignificance album, but i feel like i'm missing out
on a lot of his stuff. Mr Rehrberg too.

Hast du any informormorations about either of these too?

Rehrberg is Pita and owner of Mego, if I'm still not
Wrongly-McWrong.

Mego is good. Pita is good. O'Rourke is good. to me Fennesz
is a bit hit and miss.

I shall try and listen to this device.

I once sent an e-mail to Mego asking whether they accept
demos and where to send them.

for all the good it did I could've sent the same e-mail to
the queen.

I then decided that if I was going to send out demos I would
send them one ANYWAY.

I think the moral of the story is that you should send a
demo to the queen, immediately.

I agree about fennesz being a bit hit-and-miss, though.
Sometimes maybe. Have you any specific pita or o'rourke
releases to recommend for my leisurely perusal?

forthwith!

I really like Get down - try listening to "we don't
need no music".

and listen past the "30 second stop" point, to here the
melody come in. :)

i love Pita - Uoon Avent + Vent Glass on his album (Get
Down) ; the last album isnt bad at all ! (Get Off, december
2004)
but Fennesz is even better imo ! "endless summer" is
sooooooo good !

and "the return of feen o berg" is awesome, especially the
moody track 4 and the end of track 3 (and the beginning of
track 1 as well, OMG !)

imo "endless summer" is okay, but not much more. I don't
know, it somehow bores me quite quickly. this especially
goes for "venice" which almost put me to sleep (and not in a
nice way).

pita just has more of a kick.

yeah i agree that venice isn't that good (expect from tracks
1 and 2 and the one with davivd sylvian) ; but endless is so
good to listen to in summer and in winter : there's a
strange impression of warm every time i listen to it, i feel
like opening the window cuz it's getting warmer and warmer
in my room (maybe i should try playing it when i'm with a
girl =D)

pita is less moody but better rythmically maybe

Ohhh, i do like endless summer. Venice was a little
bit of a disappointment, but it's still Pretty Good.

I'm looking forward to hearing pita and o'rourke. This
release is easily my favourite fennesz up to now.

I've got Venice and Endless Summer. Venice has wicked album
art but unfortunately the actual music is not fully enjoyed
by the me. Endless Summer, on the otherhand, has been the
backdrop to many excellent sessions.

1 out of 2 fennesz albums are liked by the me.

Hotel Parel.lel is very good, yes. I am blown away by this
one though, it's just awesome.

from jim o rourke i know a record on MEGO : 'i am happy and
i'm singing and a 1 2 3 4' which is nice electronica, very
melodic

Jim O'Rourke

If you want more Electronic Stuff, I Am Happy etc. is
great, I suppose. You should also get all his other stuff on
Drag City, espcrcrially the Halfway to a Threeway EP,
best musics. And if you want some dronish drone stuff, you
should listen to the works that are more early, like
Terminal Pharmacy, It is great.

And you should also listen to the Gastr del Sol (Jim
O'Rourke & David Grubbs & friends) albums that are
Upgrade & Afterlife and Camoufleur and others.

Awesome List.

I think i might try to find Terminal Pharmacy, i also bought
a hafler trio album the other day, it's really excellent
drone stuff. Dronish drone is best. And i might find the
OTHERS too, they all sound excellent, thanks.

Happy Days is also quite nice. Some nice minimalistic
guitar stuff, then about 35-40 minutes of hardcore drony
hurdy-gurdy action, and then some guitar again. It can also
be quite intolerable, I don't know.

Ah, i think i read about that in the wire. It sounds like
the kind of thing i could quite easily love or completely
detest, i'll have to hear it.

A good album, but I prefer the first.

Track two is the best of the bunch, imo.

Pita's latest release 'Get Off' is quite good.

ah yes. I haven't listened to that one yet.

korm plastics have done three reissues in the same vein as
"mastery of money".

you should get "kill the king" - the most excellent Hafler
record I have yet heard.

three other reissues, I meant to say - four in total
and more on the way.

return of Fenn'o'Berg is definitely one of my favourite
Fennesz related albums (well actually that probably applies
to all three of them)... the only thing that would make it
better would be if it had the last track from the first
Fennoberg album which is a noise jam over the theme from
moonraker...
