Lots of just 7th-related pitches. Of course the duck-cally sounds slide around somewhat.

Kyle Gann's recent work has gotten rave reviews in Fanfare magazine, which generally covers "classical" releases. The magazine's tag line is "The Magazine for Serious Record Collectors." I've never quite gotten what, precisely, is "serious." The records? Or the collectors?

The Charles Rice Goff III thing is a whole album of Doors covers!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:37pm
Webhamster Henry:

The magazine for Flattering Record Collectors.

I once heard at Tower Records that Christian Rock outsold Jazz and Classical combined.
The reference in that anecdote may date it, but I bet it's still true.
  12:41pm
Dean:

Actually, Fanfare reviews are generally really insightful, well-informed, and humble. More than 500 pages of wall-to-wall reviews (there are almost no margins on the pages, and no illustrations other than ads) every two months. Lots of disagreement among the reviewers.

Oz Fox, guitarist for Stryper, used to hang out in my apartment in Whittier many years ago. Is Christian Rock still a genre?

Sorry! I haven't seen it for 20 years, so I should shut up instead of just typing all the time.
Kyle used to do the new music reviews in the Voice.
Avatar 12:55pm
Tony Coulter:

Yes, I remember Kyle Gann's Voice reviews. I also remember that those reviews were pretty widely disliked on the Downtown scene, because they were often pretty negative (about Downtown musicians, anyway). Although Gann did call David Garland the new Schubert!

@ Henry: More just intonation for you....
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:03pm
Webhamster Henry:

"All we had that indicated the tuning was a DX7 synthesizer patch."
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:05pm
Webhamster Henry:

Unlike my DX7 (which is completely tunable thanks to the third-party E! board), I think this may be set up with a keyboard splt and two different tunings on each half, but I'd have to see the patch they are referring to!
  1:06pm

Gann also claimed that when he first rode a subway in NYC and saw a sign for "WTC," he wondered why the subway was promoting Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier. Uhm, really?

Hey Tony - really enjoying this Riley piece. I'm most familiar with his minimal organ/keys/synths work - this is really something!

There's a new (English-language) book out about Luc Ferrari -- the only thing that's scaring me away is the fact that the foreword is by Mr. music-doc-talking-head Thurston Moore. Maybe not a good sign...

Just got into Renaissance and Greenslade - so looking into furthering my interest in classical
  2:17pm
Dean:

Paul A. Snook of Fanfare said of this recording, "As more of his large-scale works appear on disc, it is becoming increasingly apparent that Herbert Howells (1892-1983), the precocious pupil of Sir Charles Stanford, was a major figure of the English musical renaissance of this century—far more substantial than the limited, albeit superior creator of organ and liturgical works which his quondam reputation of two decades ago would have warranted. "

This was probably too radical for contemporary audiences. Too minimal, too quiet.

Snook dubs the Three Dances "melodiously vernal."

Lambert finished composing this in July '51, conducted its premier later then month, then died a few days short of his 46th birthday on August 21 the same year. Martin Anderson wrote in Fanfare, "This is an important release, not because the music is especially earth shattering (it wasn't supposed to be: You can't dance on shattered earth), but because it lifts the lid on a piece of musical history that has been largely lost from sight. Balletomanes and British-music buffs can descend on this disc without fear; and the rest of you will find much to please, despite the occasional longueur."
