Black Bombaim (blue vinyl) has shipped but it's not here yet.
I'm surprised that Equations got here so soon.

^ Nice haul Phil. Let me know what you think about the new Aluk Todolo. Rather curious to hear where they go after Occult Rock. It had a real surfer guitars meet Krautrock thang going for it that I hope they expand upon

Oteme - L'Aguatto, L'Abbandono, Il Mutamento

I'll be really interested to hear how you like it.  A record I'm very much into, and a grower.
 
By the way, I followed up your tip on Claudio Milano's work. Had some contretemps with the Italian mail service, and a little email correspondence with Claudio - who turns out to be a lovely and generous man - and yesterday received Nichelodeon's Ukiyoe and Il gioco del silenzio albums together with one by the Radiata 5tet. Absorbing music this dense is going to take a little time, but I can tell it's going to be a great journey Thumbs Up


Well that Oteme album turned out to be something of a headscratcher for me. I absolutely adore the music - the plethora of extremely wellplayed flutes and horns - but the vocals ruin the overall experience imo. Then again I'm somewhat of a vocals-nazi meaning if the vocals don't work for me I end up struggling with the remaining album. I just feel the music of Oteme deserves so much more than the anodyne and flat delivery of both the male and female singer. And apropos Claudio Milano - I could just imagine him singing on the album!
On the other hand it may just be a grower, but I have a hard time imagining warming up to those vocals. (Crosses fingers)

I too have spoken with Claudio and he is a very empathetic guy. The kind of man I'd enjoy a pint with methinks.
I love the way you describe the music as being 'dense'. Possibly the most apt word for his music.


 
I actually like Gianotti's voice - which seems somewhere between one of the singers in Stormy Six (Franco Fabbri?) and...Joăo Gilberto. To me it fits with the music and the lyrics, similarly to the way Mark Hollis' husky, wavering voice is just right on Spirit of Eden and Laughing Stock.  I also like the songs better for being able to read the English translations in the CD booklet - he's a good lyricist, I think.
 
I do grok what you're saying though. The human voice seems to evoke a more visceral response than any other element in music - plenty of singers out there that have the same effect on me, and it means I can't get on with their music no matter how much I like what the band is doing.  C'est la vie.
 
I'd certainly buy Claudio a beer if I had the pleasure to meet him in person. Those vocal chords probably need a lot of coolant!



It has improved a bit with a little time. I'm still not completely won over, but I feel my ears directly themselves more toward the music now, which is always a good thing.
Regarding the human voice in music: there are those rare bands that manage to include what I'd personally call horrendous sounding vocals....yet for some inexplicable reason they work. Amon Düül ll is an apt example of this.

Womega – A Quick Step



http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=19373

I picked up the recent CD reissue of this one, a pretty cool Seventies album. The vocals have a kind of dorky Greenslade-like quality, but the songs are actually pretty clever and full of great instrumental passages. A pleasing surprise, if hardly an essential classic!

I meant their album with La La La Ressonance, the reason why I recommended that Equations album in the first place Tongue
Yes, it was fast. I ordered four CD's from the US one month ago and probably will not receive it anytime soon Ouch

It was fantastic and their current sound is like "Far Out" (although the bass was "fuzzier"), they played a great version of "Arabia" Thumbs Up Peter Brötzmann added an Avant Jazz perspective to their sound though Smile There were some people that thought it would be a Jazz concert LOL


I missed going to a record store. Here's what I bought:
Mike Oldfield - Amarok (CD)
PFM - Per Un Amico (CD)
Renaissance - Turn of the Cards (LP)
Neu! - s/t (LP)
Krakatau - Water Near a Bridge (LP)

^  Yes, the Black Bombaim with La La La Ressonance was ordered as well. The vinyl with photo book was sold out so I ordered the vinyl with poster. 
Sounds like you had a great time at the concert.

^ Cool! That's the one I have.
Yeah, it was great. The opening act was really boring though: imagine 60's Nick Mason performing alone for 45 minutes... that's it Sleepy The music that was played on background was cool though: SBE's "Double Freedom" and a nice Stoner cover of "Astronomy Domine" (I wonder who plays it) Thumbs Up

And will do. I quite like OR so I'm hoping the new one is at least as successful if nothing else.

Enjoy man.
