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."
