Thanks for the post & review link. I'll have to keep an eye out for it when it comes out. I've been hooked on the Fennesz/O'Rourke/Rehberg Cd! I notice Fennesz has two more releases coming out, Polwechsel/Fennesz "Wrapped Islands", and Fennesz: Field Recordings 1995-2002 . Any comments on either of these releases? ______________________________________________________ POLWECHSEL/FENNESZ - Wrapped Islands CD [ERSTWHILE] "The predominantly Viennese quartet Polwechsel have exhaustively explored the grey areas between composition and improvisation, electronic and acoustic, jazz and classical for much of the past decade. Austrian Christian Fennesz, while initially a guitarist, is primarily known for his abrasive yet melodic laptop explorations on labels such as Mego & Touch. Wrapped Islands documents the first meeting of these two driving forces. In January of 2002, the five musicians gathered in Christof Amann's Viennese studios for three days of recordings. While the first 3 Polwechsel releases solely contain compositions,this is fully improvised. The warmth and depth of the music induces an illusory simplicity, with different details and passages emerging to the surface with each listen." FENNESZ - Fennesz: Field Recordings 1995:2002 [TOUCH] CD "Field Recordings brings together a range of material Christian Fennesz has contributed to compilations, special projects and film soundtracks between the years 1995 and 2002. Also, for the first time on CD, it includes his debut 12" for Mego, the awesome 'Instrument', remastered, and a new track recorded specially for this release, 'Good Man'. It is his first release since Endless Summer [Mego, 2001] and a prelude to his next studio album." __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
