Popper's List: Links
Dozens of online documentary videos from the famous Popper's List. The site seems to be going through some uncertainty at the moment with a recent shift to a new server and then a paid membership plan and now the scrapping of the membership plan and a move again. Nonetheless a great source of informative media on the net.
Muslimgauze Wish of the Flayed (at Fansite::Arabbox v1.0)
Soleilmoon record label that handles most of Muslimgauze recorded material has placed Wish of the Flayed on the fan site Arabbox v1.0 as a free and legal download. This is music from the last year of Bryn Jones' life when the sound has become very percussive and post-industrial.
Time to come out of the old dusty box for an album by Muslimgauze named 'Wish of the Flayed' that has for a long time remained under wraps. Bryn Jones himself gave this album on cassette tape to Steven Wilson (Bass Communion) during their first meeting on the 3rd of june 1996; the album having been recorded the day before. (One day for making a whole album is not so surprising for Muslimgauze..).

Franklin Furnace Archives
Just discovered the existance of Franklin Furnace this month. While Franklin Furnace describes itself as an archive, this section of the website by no means reflects the depth and content of our physical archives. Rather, it serves as an online resource for those interested in our history, past (and evolving) projects, and old publications. For those interested in accessing Franklin Furnace’s extensive physical archives, which include documentation from all artists involved in our 30 year history.
motel de moka, Londonism II
Memories of inner city living and long weekends of everything.
My vision of London: Pulsing old city. High Ceilings. Dozing. Slumbering. Smoking. Drinking coffee. Cluttered lunch embracing the empty wine bottles on the rug. Fish bones. Thin china salad bowl drowning dying lettuce. Heavy ashtrays dealing with the afternoon shadows. Poles working as building painters spying on us when we shower through a hole in the wall. Afternoon indoors time listening to music. Four or five people around me lying on the floor. Gentle murmurs. Seeing the beautiful grey sky from the window. Bedrock bass booming. Pulse secure. Reggae chords nesting on hip hop beats. Londres sepultada bajo una capa de alquitrán.
Garden Of Delights: Brigitte Fontaine - Comme A La Radio (1970)
MUTANT SOUNDS: Brigitte Fontaine Et Areski- L'incendie,LP (1974)
Two records from Brigitte. Brigitte Fontaine was born in 1939 in Morlaix, Finistère, in the Brittany region of France, and is a singer of avant-garde music. During the course of her career she employed numerous unusual musical styles, melting rock and roll, folk, jazz, spoken word poetry and world rhythms. She collaborated with such celebrated musicians as Stereolab, Michel Colombier, Jean-Claude Vannier, Areski Belkacem, Gotan Project, Sonic Youth, Antoine Duhamel, Archie Shepp and The Art Ensemble of Chicago.

MUTANT SOUNDS: Michael O. Shea-st,CD,2001/1982,USA/UK
"Michael O'Shea was an eccentric, maverick world musician. He was a virtuoso of the Mo Cara, a 17-string instrument he invented and built, on which he created hauntingly melodic works combining elements of Celtic and Asian musics. Although primarily a busker, in the early '80s he enjoyed a brief legitimacy, releasing one album and even opening for Ravi Shankar at London's Royal Festival Hall.
O'Shea was born in Northern Ireland in 1947 but grew up in the Irish Republic. Keen to see the world, he joined the British Army at 17. However, military life didn't suit him; he went AWOL for two years and was court-martialed. On release from jail, he moved to London where he gravitated toward the folk scene, mixing with musicians like Ewan MacColl and Peggy Seeger.
Dark Stars in the Dazzling Sky pt.8 at motel de moka
This list takes off where the slow and heavy grooving pieces of the previous instalment left us. Om is definitely one of my favourites within the genre and this track from their latest (and with drummer Chris Hakius leaving this duo, sadly enough, probably also their final) studio album Pilgrimage makes for a perfect bridge from the previous part of this series. But soon after, things get a little different. It’s darker and a lot more unforgiving than the previous one.
