^Yeah, the guy who runs the label is a lovely fella ( it's a one man operation )
and all his releases so far have been great ( a Morton Feldman and a Thomas Brinkman).
It's worth a read of Julius Eastman backstory which is quite tragic , there's recent Guardian and New York Times articles.

RIP -Pauline Oliveros, a true pioneer of 'just intonation' techniques and proposer of the concept of 'deep listening'.
Was lucky enough to work on a show with her at the Serpentine Summer Pavilion in 2013 and a truly inspirational person and a bonus in being
wonderfully indiscreet - told me a potentially libellous story about Morton Feldman, John Cage and a record haul of hallucinogenic mushrooms.

^ hahaha,
good old Stalaggh/Gulaggh, continuing the old 'power electronics' tropes of edging around extreme politics ( the bands twin names are references to Nazi and Stalinist imprisonment and execution of the mentally ill).
Ironic considering most of the band work in mental health and social services in Belgium these days.
The guy who engineered 'Projekt Misanthropia' has had a major 'change of pace' and now works for Amsterdam Sinfonietta as an in-house 'instrument repair' technician.
Were front runners for the 'most disturbing record of all time' but got edged out by a vinyl release of the recordings of Rev. Jim Jones last sermon at Jonestown, Guyana.

^ it's on my list for Santa
I haven't paid much attention to Brian Eno in recent years but I do like his "Lux" CD. It's ambient in the sense it is easily ignored and it's music in the sense that it's listenable. It's even "easy listening" in the sense it does not drive me out into the snow howling dimly remembered excerpts from "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion."
Not much of a video though

^ nice stuff Patrick, I saw the installation that goes with the Lux album in St Petersburg and it wasn't much more exciting than that video.
