For Alex Miaolo and anyone else who may be interested:



Silent Sound, a composition for orchestra by Jason Pierce (Spiritualized / Spacemen 3). This recording is of the only public performance of the piece, which was released on a cd limited to 1,000 copies.

Iain Forsyth & Jane Pollard's Silent Sound began life as a live performance on Thursday 14th September 2006 in the small concert hall at St. George's Hall, Liverpool. The event featured an original score composed, arranged and performed by Jason Pierce.

Inspired by the Davenport Brothers, Victorian Spiritualists who conducted a public seance inside their spirit cabinet at the same Liverpool stage in 1865, Forsyth & Pollard performed inside their own soundproof cabinet, hypnotically repeating a single phrase into a microphone. This signal was processed by their Silent Sound Machine and transmitted to the audience, embedded in the music as a subliminal message outside the auditory range of the human ear.

John, you are the best! This is hard to find. My guess is that it's perfect for Sunday morning coffee and lazing around.
I plan on testing out that theory right now.

Thank so much.

Thanks for this, it is absolutely perfect for Sunday mornin' coffee time.

I know we've got some jazzfreaks on here, could anyone hook me up with some Jack Wilson? He worked with Lee Morgan in the 60's.

Does anyone have any Smoke?

Anyone got 'Hello I'm Dolly', by Dolly Parton?

Cheers.

Bastro were one of two bands formed by Squirrel Bait guitarist David Grubbs after the former band folded in 1987, together with Squirrel Bait's bassist Clark Johnson and a drum machine. Later, noted drummer John McEntire (Tortoise, The Sea And Cake) replaced the drum machine. Johnson was later replaced by Bundy K. Brown. Bastro released one EP and two albums before Grubbs, McEntire and Brown retired the Bastro name in 1993 and continued as Gastr del Sol.

Codeine is an American indie rock/slowcore band formed in 1989 by members Stephen Immerwahr (vocal, bass), Chris Brokaw (drums), and John Engle (guitar). Codeine pioneered the slowcore and sadcore subgenres of indie rock, but with a more experimental attitude than other bands in the genre, such as Low, Idaho and Red House Painters. The band's original tone, marked by slow tempos, Immerwahr's nasal vocals, and Engle's ringing Telecaster, did not evolve much during their career.

Codeine released their first album Frigid Stars on the German label Glitterhouse in 1990. The album was released on Sub Pop the following year. It's been speculated the band Coffee was inspired to name themselves after a drug by Codeine.

Their second release, the short album Barely Real was issued in 1992. Immerwahr rejected several of the songs after the recording session. Some of these songs would be re-recorded for the final album. The song W. is a solo performance on piano by David Grubbs (of Bastro, Squirrel Bait and Gastr del Sol). A somewhat different full-band version of the song appears on Codeine's next album, but titled Wird.

Brokaw left the band after the release of Barely Real to play full-time with his other band Come. He was replaced by Douglas Scharin of the band Rex.

Codeine's next and final release was the full-length album The White Birch, released in 1994. David Grubbs also participated on the album. After this release the band broke up. Stephen Immerwahr has since then been playing with the band Raymond, while Douglas Scharin continued in June of 44 and later HiM (a post-rock band from New York).

In 2001, The Coup released Party Music to widespread praise. However, in part due to distribution problems, sales of the album were low. The original album cover art depicted group members Pam the Funkstress and Riley standing in front of the twin towers of the World Trade Center as they are destroyed by huge explosions; Riley is pushing the button on a guitar tuner. The album's planned release date was just after the events of the September 11, 2001 attacks, and the cover art was withdrawn hastily. The cover art was finished in June 2001; there was no connection between the band and the attacks. The album release was held back as alternative cover art was prepared.

The attention generated to the album's cover art generated some criticism of the group's lyrical content as well, particularly the Party Music track "5 Million Ways to Kill a CEO". The song's rap includes lines like, "You could throw a twenty in a vat of hot oil/When he jump in after it, watch him boil". Conservative columnist Michelle Malkin cited the song in calling The Coup's work a "stomach-turning example of anti-Americanism disguised as highbrow intellectual expression".
