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:

I.C.'s voice and words on this track are both haunting and mesmerizing. A reminder of how poetic and poignant his lyrics were. Genius!
Hi Tony
"Ceremony" and "IALP" are both JD songs (JD performed the former for the first and only time at their last gig) but this is a New Order recording. It's Bernard Sumner singing, not Ian, although IC wrot the lyrics.
That "blue stripe" version has Gillian playing on it and is a re-recording from early '81.
The "green" sleeve was recorded when NO were a trio back in 1980 - I actually think it's a better version.
Hi, Kev.
Now, that's something I never knew about IALP. I could swear that was IC on that track. The only other version I've ever heard is on CD3 of Heat & Soul box set that you probably own as well. Having said that, It's been awhile since I last listened to them, so...
Thanks for that.

Sorry Tony, I don't think I was clear - only "Ceremony" is different. Although, just to add to the confusion, the 7" version of IALP (in this "copper" sleeve)
is different to the one found on on the two 12"-ers. 
There is indeed an IC version of IALP on Heart & Soul and also a longer version on various bootlegs. JD never performed it live though.

Kev,
As the great prophet Cartman once said: "stop playing with my little mind". 
PS: I have a copy of that copper single somewhere.
ACV - Busk
I might dip into this - http://babel-label.bandcamp.com/album/busk
Formed in the North East of England by bassist and composer Andy Champion in 2009, the quintet ACV takes contemporary jazz as a starting point from which to branch out into more arcane territory.
On Busk, you’ll hear hints of Canterbury-style Prog rock, weightless free Improv, deep modal swing, and sensitive balladry, delivered by a group at the height of its powers.

Wife not hear to express an opinion - and I haven't played this album since I Powerlined my Radikal
Franz Schubert: Pavel Haas String Quartet
A rousing start to the morning....
And Finely for today, Inspired by Tony some great Lana Del Rey 
because I always seem to play this on a Sunday - Bruno Mars next as he has been requested and then Scarlet Scarlet - sorry I mean Lana Del Rey
Franz Schubert: Andras Schiff, (Klavier); Yuuko Shiokawa, (Violine)
Fantasie in C major für Klavier op. 15 D. 760 (Wanderer-Fantasie)
Fantasie in C major für Violine & Klavier op. posth. 159 D. 934
Schubert figures in quite heavily as a composer I love dearly. Really, smack dab in the center of time which I belong - Early 19th century. If Beethoven and Chopin are the bookends to fraim this time, then Mendelssohn, Schubert, Schumann, Liszt solidly represent the mortar in between.
If anyone has even the tiniest interest in Schubert I highly recommend you spend about fourty minutes watching the link here. Schiff is spot on and gives a wonderful characterization of the man. He simply points out how this music feels when you play it - glimmers of hope sprinkled occassionally throughout wonderfully dark (normal human) experiences.
I personally have always felt most classical (solo / chamber) is best experienced only alone or for the group of players / singer etc. and maybe a handful of friends maximum (no large audience). While a believe this is true from Bach through Prokofiev but out of everyone in this range I think the case for this is especially true for Schubert. It is so personal and like sharing secrets with a most cherished friend.
