What are you listening to and WHY might anyone be interested? (Vol.IX)
Posted by: Richard Dane on 01 January 2013
With 2013 upon us, it's time to start a fresh thread. I've gone back to an earlier thread title because often the "why" is the most interesting part of the post.
Anyway, links:

About
So who are Kruder & Dorfmeister? Well, basically two guys mainly known through their successful dj-sets and a respectable record of vinyl-releases since 1993. A dubplate-melting factor from Vienna.
Available to download and Enjoy...

..a bit off a mixed album, close to Jimi Hendrix and complete other stuff...
Johann Sebastian Bach: Transcriptions for Piano Vol. 1 - (Ferruccio Busoni) - Nikolai Demidenko (piano)
Toccata and Fugue in D minor, BWV 565
Orgelbüchlein: Ich ruf'zu dir, Herr Jesu Christ, BWV 639
Capriccio in B flat major on the Departure of his Most Beloved Brother, BWV 992
Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland, BWV 659
Prelude and Fugue in E flat major, BWV 552 "St Anne"
Nun freut euch, lieben Christen, BWV 734
Toccata, Adagio and Fugue in C major, BWV 564
Not sure if Hyperion knew this back then but in 1991 this was the first disc that eventually came to be the start of a Bach transcriptions series which 22 years later is at Vol. 10. I've had this from its release in 1991 and haven't listened to it for years so it's about time again.
From a Busoni quote in the program notes - If Liszt was "the summit" (the Omega), he told his wife, then "Bach is the foundation [the Alpha] of piano playing." ("The two make Beethoven possible.")

One of my favorite rock critic quotes is Robert Christgau on this LP
Once unjustly ignored although it charted for ten weeks, now lionized beyond all reason although it's certainly a minor masterpiece, the third album by Arthur Lee's interracial L.A. pop band voiced Lee's crazy personal paranoia and paradigmatic political paranoia.
Well this is certainly different from what I expected. The Disco meets electronica meets europop with a bit off an old time funk twist is definitely different. Very good vinyl pressing on 180gm however, clear crisp sound.

Now that's a quote.
On vinyl. One of those EMI Millenium Edition pressings from a few years back.

Definitely a mouth full!
Well, if you're interested, here is the full blurb:
Once unjustly ignored although it charted for ten weeks, now lionized beyond all reason although it's certainly a minor masterpiece, the third album by Arthur Lee's interracial L.A. pop band voiced Lee's crazy personal paranoia and paradigmatic political paranoia. Its pretty, well-worked, somewhat fussy surface masks lyrics of unfathomable if not unhinged darkness. Rooted in existential despair and occult folderol, its aura of mystery is earned and indelible, its songcraft undeniable and obscure.
Guess he was going for a Pulitzer Journalism prize in one review! Must have just finished reading a dictionary

...and a dash of Steely Dan thrown in.
Another Band that I haven't really heard of but seems to be popular on the Forum. First spin of the 180gm vinyl. Interesting and very different to Daft Punk.
Maybe a bit of Lou Reed moodiness? Or a slightly less dark Leonard Cohen?
Modest Mouse - The Moon & Antarctica on 180gm vinyl. An interesting sonic journey.
Classic vinyl from 1974, Joni Mitchell - Court & Spark original pressing. Nary a crackle or pop.
Some classic OMD, Junk Culture, original vinyl still sounding great.
More classic OMD - Organisation, original vinyl release.
Last disk for the night. More classic OMD. This time "Crush"

Day off with the wife, asked what she would like to do today pub lunch.go for a walk or wild life park?
Her reply can't we just listen to music all day, no argument from me on that one.
