March 2012

1. Jago & Litefoot - The Ruthven Inheritance (Excerpt) Why?  I don't know.  I just needed something to kick it off.
2. Fhloston Paradigm - The Simple Things A sci-fi-informed King Britt side project with a free EP?  Sign me up.
3. Red Electric Rainbow - Ferris Wheel According to the artist's website, this music is "face melting."  I leave the final judgement to you, dear listener.
4. Thighpaulsandra - Celine and Julie Go Boating It looks like the never-updated official Thighpaulsandra site is down.  Nevertheless, go get yourself a copy of I, Thighpaulsandra at any cost.
5. Metallic Falcons - Snakes and Tea Apparently this was a side project of CocoRosie, who were way too hip for me.  Not much of a web presence, but a good album.
6. Jago & Litefoot - The Ruthven Inheritance (Excerpt) I refer you to my initial excuse.
7. Lubomyr Melnyk - KMH Section V The founder and possibly only true practitioner of "Continuous Music."  A bit new-agey, but some great dynamics and mind-boggling playing.
8. Philippe Petit - Out Take From Oneiric Rings On Grey Velvet I don't know too much about this guy aside from him being almost un-Googleable becasue he didn't walk on a tightrope between the World Trade Center Towers.
9. Homayun Sakhi - Zuhals Song WFMU find.  Great music.
10. New Orleans Traditional Funeral Marches - Westlawn Dirge This is off of a generic "Funeral Marches of New Orleans" comp that I can't find on the internet.  Everyone should own at least one of these.
11. The Caretaker - But the Stars had Come Out Off of the addendum to the much-hyped Patience (After Sebald), Leyland Kirby proves that if you go from art-terrorism to introspective ambient melodies, people tend to listen.
