What are you listening to right now? (VOL I)
Posted by: Tam on 06 June 2005
Anyway, to kick things off, I'm currently, and probably for most of the rest of this week, listening to Radio 3's Beethoven Experience. They're doing one of the piano concertos at the moment and (number 2 with Glenn Gould). Anyway, the experience thing probably needs its own thread, but, even on this cheapo radio it's proving fairly enjoyable.
So, what are you listening to right now?

Nymph - this is one of my all-time favourite albums. It just has the most amazing feel to it.
See my post in the recent Goldfrapp thread for a brief review of their new one, Seventh Tree -it's more like Felt Mountain than Black Cherry, but a different sound again.

Blimey - a band I saw back in '87 and whose album Dream Harder is without doubt my album of the 90s... are back.
Am still warming this one up on the Naim but my goodness, getting older hasn't done anything but wonders to Mike Scott's voice which sounds more 'Waterboys' than ever.
give this one a whirl...

I'll be interested to hear what you think of this. I have played it once, and whilst interesting it did not make me want to play it a second time. One for my ECM collection from a completist perspective only.
Hi Adrian. I like it, but then I'm a great admirer of Morton Feldman, as I believe he's one 20th Century composer who will prove to have staying power. I have a few CDs of his music, including a couple of solo piano works, and his epic, four hour piece for a small ensemble, "For Philip Guston".
There's something fasinating about his sound world - it calms you and draws you in, but there's also something quite unsettling about it, as nothing ever repeats in quite the same way twice. It reminds me a bit of of "Mademoiselle Mabry", from "Filles de Kilimanjaro", one of my favourite Miles Davis tracks, in the way it keeps you in an awkward kind of suspense, without ever reaching a clear resolution. Much as I enjoy Steve Reich's classic works, there's something about Feldman's approach to minimalism that I prefer.
I'm quite surprised that ECM hasn't put out a Morton Feldman CD before, as he strikes me as a perfect fit with their aesthetic.
