Taking a bit of time off to contemplate this profound event. We’ll be posting again shortly.

Malibran – Straniero
Whittle away some time with Malibran, a band who plays great progressive rock out of Sicily.
François Bayle – Jeîta
Allison Run – Ceremony
Decades ago, an Italian label put out a compilation called Something About Joy Division. Seeing as it’s been 36 years now since the passing of Ian Curtis’ death, it seemed like a good idea to share Allison Run doing a cover of Ceremony, which is my favorite song ever.
Mélopée – Les Tempes Blanchies
Brainticket – Voyage (1982)
Time to ‘prog out’ a bit with some of the finest interpreters of psychedelicized Krautrock, Brainticket.
Alfred Schnittke – Steam
A beautiful droning composition by the Russian-German composer Alfred Schnittke.
Vladan Radovanović – Audiospatial (For Female Choir And Electronic Sounds)
Here’s something you don’t see every day – cheesecake mixed with academic experimental music. I expect this out of Nurse With Wound or Whitehouse, but Serbian composer Vladan Radovanović ends up having his work associated with rather interesting fare from a long-past hi-fi era.
Quincy Jones – ‘Ironside’ Theme
One of jazz’s finest composers was also quite a maestro at TV soundtracks. Ironside, which starred Raymond Burr, was the mid-afternoon viewing of my youth.
Pēteris Vasks – Vientulais Engelis (Lonely Angel), Meditation for Violin & String Orchestra
Lithuanian composer Pēteris Vasks should be regarded by his countrymen as a national treasure.
