Just ordered Brian Eno and Fripp - 'The Equatorial Stars', annyone here got it yet? I loved the track that was played on resonance fm. I also ordered Zeena Parkins (worked with bjork on vespertine) and Ikue Mori - 'Phantom Orchard' and Maja Ratkje 'Voice' First time i've bought cd's for a while, cost quite a bit as they are hard to find in the uk. Damn, if only I loved britney spears, i'd easily be able to get that sort of music from amazon for £2. |

i only have Ambient 1 (Music For Airports) by Brian Eno... Ikue Mori is good from what i know about her =) i need more things by her. i have ordered Death Ambient, she's on it. |

|
|
tell me more about the cds you ordered... I really like Brian Eno, I have 5 of his ambient CDs. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
actually! I only have four of them... I ought to order some new ones... how many ambient-cds have he composed? I'm not (yet) interested in his rock-stuff. (although I do enjoy e.g. his work as a producer) |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
have you got the album 'Low' that he did with David Bowie? |

Maja Ratkje - Voice: "Voice begins and ends with glacial figures from ambient Aphex territory. At the end these figures are succeeded by silence, at the beginning they're interrupted by elfin voices. Events quickly become unpredictable, unsettling, scary, as if small creatures had stolen into your skull and were busying themselves spitting out stray words, oaths, nonsense." |

I was just looking for info on this new album, and I just came across an unofficial Eno site. And it had this, I thought, interesting response apparently from him (probably from ages ago) to a request for him to join in a usergroup... I thought it could apply to Aphex, Autechre, et al and people's expectations... "what I'm always hearing are variations of "why don't you do more records like - (insert any album title) " or "why don't you do more work with - (insert any artist's name)?". I don't know why, these questions are un answerable, why is it so bloody important to you, leave me alone....these are a few of my responses. But the most important reason is "If I'd followed your advice in the first place I'd never have got anywhere". I'm afraid to say that admirers can be a tremendous force for conservatism, for consolidation. Of course it's really wonderful to be acclaimed for things you've done - in fact it's the only serious reward, becasue it makes you think "it worked! I'm not isolated!" or something like that, and irt makes you feel gratefully connected to your own culture. But on the other hand, there's a tremendously strong pressure to repeat yourself, to do more of that thing we all liked so much. I can't do that - I don't have the enthusiasm to push through projects that seem familiar to me ( - this isn't so much a question of artistic nobility or high ideals: I just get too bloody bored), but at the same time I do feel guilt for 'deserting my audience' by not doing the things they apparently wanted. I'd rather not feel this guilt, actually, so I avoid finding out about situations that could cause it... |

... The problem is that people nearly always prefer what I was doing a few years earlier - this has always been true. The other problem is that so, often, do I! Discovering things is clumsy and sporadic, and the results don't at first compare well with the glossy and lauded works of the past. You have to keep reminding yourself that they went through that as well, otherwise they become frighteningly accomplished. That's another problem with being made to think about your own past - you forget its genesis and start to feel useless awe toward syour earlier self "How did I do it? Wherever did these ideas come from?". Now, the workaday everyday now, always looks relatively less glamorous than the rose-tinted then (except for those magic mhours when your finger is right on the pulse, and those times only happen when you've abandoned the lifeline of your own history)." |

yeah, but we just want aphex to put out anything (he's made it already too). you cant blame a fan for that |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think overall I prefer Eno's early stuff -- Taking Tiger Mountain is my favourite of his, and On Land, Apollo, Here Come The Warm Jets... excellent to the nth degree. |

"Another Green World", ambient folk pop music, *sigh* |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
you only buy music by aphex twin then? |
||||||||
|
|

the pearl. |

people are always whining about artists doing more of the same - everyone who says '96 was the best year, "autechre should do more like tri repetae" etc. |

"january 7003" or what the title was seems like a nice Eno CD. Just the term "Bell studies" makes me purr with ambient warm feelings... |
||||||||

I love Eno, his 70s stuff constantly amazes me at how little it has dated. Stuff like the Apollo soundtracks still sounds like freakin future music. |

I also ordered Stars of the Lid 'tired sounds of...' someone here said it was similar to SAWII. Anyone else got it? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
...similar to SAW2! I'm keen to hear that!... |

I like the 1st and last track of Equatorial Stars best at the moment The last one is very sinister, with the veeeeeeery looooong faaaaading out. I listen to it in my car stereo, the tape has a lot of hissing and you can't exactly tell when the music ended and you only hear tape noise. Dael, cool avatar, I saw the original in a London exhibit some years ago (it's huge!!!) |

the album Eno did with James called "wah wah" is especially good. i've got lots of eno. im kind of disappointed in the new eno-fripp, mainly because after not working together for all these years i was hoping for something more breath-taking or ground breaking like their original collabs... but ah well. still a good ambient album and i guess thats the point, its not intrusive or digested by listening to the process that it was created -- its just georgeous sound. |
