This is very strange, even for an unofficial release, but I like it.

Some of the best hard techno at the moment. Check at 2:20:

Michael Andrews

“Through the Fog”:



The genius who brought you “Mad World”, Donnie Darko soundtrack version (below), also has an album called Hand on String. Simply excellent. Favourite tracks are “Tracings” and “Just a Thought”.

Here's a very different version of “Tracings”, recorded during soundcheck:



And there he covers some Nick Drake:

Fripp

Fine, there is a new album by Robert Fripp. Not only Fripp actually:

Thread was created in one improvised sitting, one day in 2007. Fripp, having already guested on one track on Travis' album, Double Talk, joined forces with the saxophonist and flautist best known for his work on the boundaries of Canterbury axis in bands like Gong and Soft Machine Legacy.

I need it! And I still miss the Fripp & Eno from last year.

And the BBC guy is comparing it to Nik Turner, who composed the best industrial rock track ever produced ("Thoth").

Robert Plant

His live at Nashville, TN (dated 06-29-05, whatever that means, probably 29 May 2006) is excellent. Find it.
