An excellent release, yes. Buy on sight. But it's not really melodic or
easy - _Last Light_ is a very dark stew that is one of the few records
that really don't have an easy to trace predecessor. Miles Davis _Dark
Magus_-era is close ...
Everything on Leaf is fantastic in its own way. The first Invisible
Sdtrks. is perhaps the finest moment on it, as is Richard Thomas' _Shoes
and Radios Attract Paint_ (a split release with Lo Recs). Thomas' work
is dissonant and scratchy yet quite melodic and touching at the same
time. Almost all of Susumu Yokota's works on Leaf are gorgeous and
braindamagingly simplistic.
There is also a John Tye full-length under the name Twisted Science that
I can't remember the album's name to. And a pair of 12"s, as well, that
sound a good bit like Disjecta (if you're into that kind of pretty
melody). And some goofy Sons of Silence stuff that is quite poppy. In
short, start pretty much anywhere and buy all of it. And yes, I am
Leaf's biggest fan in the state of Louisiana ; )
Anybody catch the Marumari show at Mermaid Palace last Sunday in New
Orleans?
The list let me down ... I scheduled a dinner date w/my in-laws b/c I
didn't know about it.
Thanks a lot, guys. And if you tell me Proem played I'll just die (gush,
gush).
