ack again. Only towards the very end of the CD, in the piece by
Mathieu Levesque, there is a bit of music sipping through: a
computerized game music thingy. In the end we know nothing more
about Montreal, but we do experienced a beautiful trip through a very
nice city. It also includes pieces by Helene Prevost, Steve Heimbecker,
Louis Dufort, Chantal Dumas, A_dontigny and of course Lopez himself.“

* MYTHS 3 – LA NOUVELLE SERENITE CD (Sub Rosa SR05,
1989) € 13.00
Eine der ganz frühen SUB ROSA – Veröffentlichungen (1987 als LP)
wieder erhältlich: Teil 3 der MYTHS – Reihe enthält lange Stücke von
Ambience- & Minimal – Komponisten: JON HASSELL, HAROLD BUDD,
GAVIN BRYARS, und sakralen Gesängen aus dem “ARCHIVES
SONORES SUB ROSA”, die hier gut hereinpassen in das line-up...
“This is a reissue of the third volume in this early Sub Rosa compilation
series, originally released in 1987. Features long tracks from Jon
Hassell (duo with J.A. Deane, from 1985), never released since; Harold
Budd (duo with Eugen Bowen, from 1983) in the mood of "The Serpent
in Quicksilver" (with a splendid steel guitar); Gavin Bryars (duo with
Andrew Thomson, from 1987); an unpublished sketch for two pianos
called "Sketch For Sub Rosa" (later published on ECM with a chamber
ensemble); and an excerpt from Les Archives Sonores Sub Rosa, a
short film without image. Spanning from 1972-1975, Harold Budd
created four individual works under the collective title The Pavilion of
Dreams, produced by ambient pioneer Brian Eno. His two subsequent
collaborations with Eno, The Plateaux of Mirror and The Pearl,
established his trademark atmospheric piano style. Jon Hassell's first
recordings were made with minimalist masters La Monte Young and
Terry Riley, through whom he met the Hindustani raga master, Pandit
Pran Nath. From his studies of the classical Indian music of the Kirana
tradition he adapted these techniques to the trumpet and developed a
new style of playing which forms the basis of his own unique sound
world. Gavin Bryars has written a large number of works, including
three operas, and a number of instrumental pieces. His first major work
as composer was The Sinking of the Titanic on Brian Eno's Obscure
label in 1975. This collection gathers together the most stunning of
ambient, atmospheric sound worlds from three very important
composers.” [press release]
* NO NEW YORK CD (Lilith Rec. 2005) € 15.00
“One of the brightest and most famous projects of the entire punk/new
wave scene, No New York was released in 1978 on Island's sub-label
Antilles and became a total cult in the indie scene. Featuring some of
the most incredible rule breaking bands of the underground New York
art and music scene, the project - strongly pursued by Brian Eno - is a
genuine snapshot of the massively creative NY scene, from which
innumerable trends started and became part of the modern pop music
as we know it. Influential, powerful and ground breaking, this collection
features four of the top icon shattering Gotham City's no-wavers like
James Chance, (CONTORTIONS), Arto Lindsay and Ikue Mori (DNA),
Lydia Lunch (TEENAGE JESUS) and Sumner Crane (MARS). If you
missed the original it's time to get your hands on this reissue. The CD
digipack version includes a detailed booklet.“ [Label info]
