Author	Topic: What's New In Your Collection That IS NOT Film Music - January/February/March

Shaun Rutherford Oscar® Winner	For some reason (oh yeah, NEW film music is sucking up the place so far this year, but it usually does until springtime), I felt like making this post. Just want to see what "music with words" people are buying. So, here's my "neener-neener, I got this and you don't" for the past two months. Again, I'm only posting this to create some kind of discussion that isn't all about film music. JANUARY/FEBRUARY Low - Things We Lost In The Fire (fantabulous! everyone on the planet should have this album! IM me if you want to hear some of this!) Knodel - The White Hole (wacky, Devo-esque nutzoid music; example track titles: "Knodel Dance Party", "Knodel On Tour", "Do It") The Who - Who's Next (finally got this) Bloomfield/Kooper/Stills - Super Session (great stuff......for Sneakers fans, this is the music that opens the film) Grateful Dead - American Beauty (remembered this being really good; I guess it was Anthem Of The Sun, and I got confused; no, I don't do drugs) Lalo Schifrin - Esperanto (damn!) Broadcast - EP 2 (some great, almost 70s Morricone stuff on here) Don Ellis - Live At Monterey! (if you like people experimenting with time signatures, get this; features that guy who plays bass on every film score.......can't remember his name.....Chuck Domanico, not sure about spelling) The Doors - Best Of (import 2CD set, remastered; always feels good to replace the U.S. crap version with one that has 18 more songs) King Biscuit Time - No Style (EP) (Beta Band off-shoot) Blind Melon - Soup (a friend pestered me into getting this) Tim Buckley - Lorca (it was $6, brand new!) Lullaby Baxter Trio - Capable Egg (quirky female singer, musically similar to Paul Simon's recent stuff, sans synths) Nirvana - Nevermind (back in '91 I hated this album; after listening to it again 10 years following all the crap that it spawned, it's remarkably fresh) P.J. Olsson - Words For Living (great song "Visine" has the lyric, "T.V. star from my childhood/Come and screw me now/I am man enough..." Well, I thought it was funny; another great song: "Good Dream") On - Shifting Skin (most of the ones above I got very, very cheap, so I'm not paying full price for any of this; "Soluble Words" was the best song on the album, but hey--it was $3) Pete Townshend - Lifehouse Elements (pretty much what ended up on the Who's Next album is covered here by Ol' Pete; another one I found unopened for $6) Jen Trynin - Gun Shy, Trigger Happy ("Get Away February" was the best song, but this only cost me $2) U2 - Achtung Baby (had it on tape for years) Guided By Voices - Mag Earwhig! (wanted my $1 back) Moby - Play (+ B-sides) Rare Earth - Greatest Hits and Rare Classics Small Faces - Ogdens' Nut Gone Flake Yo La Tengo - I Can Hear The Heart Beating As One Badly Drawn Boy - 2 singles, with 4 unreleased tracks total (Distant Town and Chaos Theory are both great; better than some of the stuff that made the album) Chappaquiddick Skyline (self-titled; one of the Pernice Bros. is in this group; very well-recorded depression-pop) Joan Of Arc - Live In Chicago, 1999 (half good/half boo!) Mellow - Another Mellow Spring (great stuff; French group doing Beatles-esque stuff, with computer vocals everywhere!) Labradford - E Luxo So (saw them in concert the night I saw Low; felt bad for them, as nobody was buying their stuff; the disc is better than their VERY minimalist performance, thankfully) Duluth Does Dylan (bands from MN doing Dylan songs, including Low covering "Blowin' In The Wind") Heart - Dreamboat Annie (wanted this for a while) The New Year - Newness Ends The Specials (not a reggae/ska fan, but it was $1, I could use it someday) Everything Is Nice - The Matador Records 10th Anniversary Collection Radiohead - Itch/My Iron Lung MARCH Duncan Sheik - Phantom Moon (we had two promos of this at work, so I took it home to test it out and ended up liking it! This is not the same Duncan Sheik that I made fun of a couple of years back; VERY subdued, almost Nick Drake....ian) Van Morrison - Astral Weeks Van Morrison - Blowin' Your Mind ("T.B. Sheets", baby) Van Morrison - His Band And Street Choir Booker T. & The M.G.s - Green Onions (needed this for a song for my "Not Quite Ultimate Big Lebowski" CD) Billy Cobham - A Funky Thide Of Sings (WOW!) And finally, Mogwai - 4 satin ep (this ep sounds like stuff Michael Mann would enjoy) Holy hell, I didn't think I got this much! Thank the Lord for all of the crappy CDs I got rid of to make most of the above purchases. If anybody has heard of any of the bands above and wants to discuss, I'm in a "real music" kinda mood! Also, if anyone wants me to make them a "mix" (Stuff I Like, Even Though I'm Only 'Upossed To Like Film Music), I'd be glad to. Tape/CD. Shaun NP---Joan Of Arc, "Better De'd Than Red"

masterconjurer unregistered	I have a love for the soundtrack genre and the Heavy Metal/Hard Rock genre. My newest CD in the Heavy Metal/Hard Rock collection is: Crazy Town - The Gift of Game : A good cd with a few good songs. Soulfly - Digi-pack (2CDs) : A VERY good collection of music from the best Heavy Metal band ever! My Newest Soundtrack is: Dinosaur - This CD has it's good songs and it's bad songs but overall, it rocks! There are my "Newest Additions."

Marian Schedenig Oscar® Winner	Hm, I always post ALL of my new CDs at the standard "What's new in your collection" threads. I got quite a lot non-film score stuff so far this year, probably more than I got film music, but it'd be too difficult to think of all the new discs. BTW, most of my non-film music CDs are still "music without words". Not all, but most of them.

JJH Oscar® Winner	well, the pantywaist/jackass up there said "non-film music," and that's what I'm posting. got a bunch of concert music by Witold Lutoslawski, Samuel Jones, Samuel Barber. but the 3 of you I talk to on IM know this already.... Also got that chick Dido's new record, used. actually, it's not that bad. the "hit" single sucks, but I like the rest. go figure. NP -- watching Back to the Future on TNT

Crono/Kyp Oscar® Winner	Hey... good topic Shaun I have been wanting some "Enya" CDs... Anyone got any ideas about what one I should get? --Brian Writer & Film/Video Editor [Message edited by Crono/Kyp on 03-04-2001]

Lightborne Oscar® Winner	I'm curious Shaun. Knodel is quite obscure. You weren't inspired by the Go Dutch and Time Machine episodes of Bikini Bandits at ATOM FILMS were you? Another editor and I work on those Bikini Bandit episodes and we called Knodel to use their music. They were really cool about it. It's funny. All of there songs have to do with them. They use their bands name in every song, like "Knodel Dance Party." Latest non-film purchases for me include: Ralph Stanley and the Clinch Mountain Boys MAN OF CONSTANT SORROW (He wrote that song made popular by O BROTHER WHERE ART THOU Tom Waits STRANGE TEMPTATION bootleg Moby SOUTH SIDE single wiuth Gwen Stefani Bob Dylan BLONDE ON BLONDE [Message edited by Lightborne on 03-04-2001]

Shaun Rutherford Oscar® Winner	I wasn't inspired by the Bikini Bandits episodes, actually. They sound interesting (to say the least!)! What songs did you use? Every time I play Knodel for my friends, they say one of three things: 1.) Dude, this is hilarious! 2.) You play this ALL the time. I still don't like it. And didn't I ask you to leave four hours ago? 3.) If I say I like it, will you untie me? I'm somewhat curious to hear how you got in touch with Knodel. What's on the Strange Temptation boot? Oh, hey Crono/Kyp! Buy Enya's Watermark! It's the best one. I guess that's all I have to say about that. Thanks, Shaun NP---The Witches Of Eastwick (freakin' Harry Potter trailer made me want to throw this on....just heard the theme from The Fury in there......neat)

Lightborne Oscar® Winner	Off Knodel's White Hole ablbum we used Milok of Mares, Do It, Abraaham A, Knodel On Tour. The Bikini Bandits thing is huge despite it's remedial nature, but you might want toi check out the Time Machine episode for the Knodel music. They come out of Dayton, Ohio I believe and our Account Executive tracked them down. As for Tom Waits STRANGE TEMPTATION it is a live recording of his 1999 South by Southwest concert as well as bonus tracks from a New York studio in 1976. Here is a track listing: Walk Away 16 Shells Downtown Train Strange Weather Temptation Gun Street Girl I Can't Wait To Get Off Work Texas Traditions A Little Rain Tango Till They Score House Where Nobody Lives Hang Down Your Head HeartAttack and Vine Jockey Full Of Bourbon Hold On Philipino Box Spring Hog The Heart Of Saturday Night Jesus Gonna Be Here Soon 94th and Hennepin Goin' Out West Johnburg Illinois Innocent When You Dream FROM 1976 Live from KNEW studiosM N.Y.

Nicolai P. Zwar Oscar® Winner	New just this year so far in my collection: Stuff from Honegger, Bruckner, Mozart, Stravinksy, Haydn, Schubert, Mahler, Rachmaninoff, Schostakovich, Addinsel, Schumann, Liszt, Beethoven, Wagner, Pfitzner, Berlioz, Debussy, de Falla, Franck, Roussel, all in varying quantities. I think I'm addicted and need help. The film score front was quieter, there was stuff by Herrmann, Schifrin, Horner, Barry, Kilar, Goldenthal, Steiner, Nyman, Scott, and Rosenman (thanks to FSM).

Timmer Oscar® Winner	Chrono/Kyp, Go with Shaun's recommendation, Enya's Watermark is great, a wonderful very filmusicy sounding album! My most recents... AIR - Moon Safari....Graham Watt, if your reading this, David Whitaker does orchestrations on a few tracks St.Germain - Tourist Kinobe - Soundphiles...anyone British here would recognise one of the 'dreamy on the sea shore' like sound of one of the tracks as it's used in recent Kronenberg 1664 commercial MJ Cole - Sincere Nightmares On Wax - Car Boot Soul A whole bunch of Classical including Vaughan Williams, Berlioz, Alwyn, Rameau, Villa-Lobos etc.

H Rocco Oscar® Winner	Jonathan Little collects apple juice? Recent arrival: "Apparitions for Percussion," performed by J.B. Smith on marimba and synths. I wanted it mainly for the cover of Akira Ifukube's remarkable "Lauda Concertata per Orchestra e Marimba," and while the liner notes frankly admit this version doesn't have the orchestral depth of the original, it's surprisingly well done. It also contains the very nice "Velocities (Moto Perpetuo) for Solo Marimba" by Joseph Schwanner, Daniel Lentz's "The Apparitions of J.B.," and Todd Winkler's "Stomping the Ground," for marimba and MIDI sounds, which I have not really been able to get through yet.

Shaun Rutherford Oscar® Winner	Timmer, that Air album is great. Love that first track. I read something about them having a new album coming out this year. Veddy good. Shaun

H Rocco Oscar® Winner	'chanter, I'm reasonably sure that the J.B. reference is about the album performer J.B. Smith. At any rate, none of the pieces sound Barryish. If roomie were awake, I'd harangue him about that punk song that refers to John Barry in its lyrics. I'm fairly sure it's NOT Echo & The Bunnymen, although they've played John Barry tunes as an opening anthem at their concerts (I mentioned before how startled roomie was to hear the prologue to RAISE THE TITANIC, and by and large he doesn't respond to Barry at all.) NP: KING KONG ESCAPES (Akira Ifukube)
