I don't think McLaren concept had anything to do with integrity. Also I don't think he was into the 'new' but rather into the old and true (and often fascinating) history of the creative manager and his or hers artist. I think McLaren thought himself in the same school as Chris Stamp (The Who), Epstein (The Beatles, and of course Andrew Loog Oldham (The Stones). So in that sense he was following pop music history. So in a nutshell, I don't think 'integrity' was an interest of McLaren's. His job was business integrity, which I think he pulled off brilliantly. A truly fascinating character. I don't think McLaren ever came near integrity, business r otherwise. sh -- Tosh Berman TamTam Books http://www.tamtambooks.com

Melt-Banana
by Mitch Tyo 12 Jun '03

If you haven't seen this fantastic band, go check them out as soon as you can. They're in the middle of a north american tour now, and have one of the most entertaining hardcore live shows ever. http://www.parkcity.ne.jp/~mltbanan is their official website. If you've heard Melt-Banana before, get their new album, "Cell-Scape" as soon as you can. It's a great release, far better than their last full length, "Teeny Shiny," which was excellent in its own right. Rock. -Mitch- _________________________________________________________________ Help STOP SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail

Holland Festival: rituals and chimeras
by manolis 12 Jun '03

12 Jun '03

Second Zorn-evening of the festival, and a tough one. There is no way i can reasonably review these clasiscal pieces, but I will try to give some views anyway. First observation: being tired and attending "rituals" is not a good thing. Probably I was not in the right state of mind to appreciate it, but it felt tiring and somewhat slow in development. The separate parts sounded nice but I somehow kept missing the flow. I enjoyed "cimeras" much more (a caffeine dose probably helped) and would agree with Steve's comments of last year. The piece moves slowly, yet quite coherently, consisting of several parts and lasting ~40 minutes. The instrument interplay and orchestration is superb and hiding the second soprano at the side of the stage for her first parts added to the mysterious atmosphere. Overal "chimeras" was quite involving emotionally. Which is probably what I missed in "rituals", as it appeared well worked out alas without going anywhere. The performers of the Asko ensemble seemed to be comfortable with the pieces. I was impressed by the instrumentation: I saw a ficophone for the first time. This is you grab a ficus and you shake it until the leaves make some sound. :) Tonight is the world premiere (I assume!) of a piece specially composed for the Radio philarmonic orchestra (director Micha Hamel) "HERMETICUM SACRUM", for orchestra and choir. Plus "Aporias" and "Contes de fées". manolis

The LP only ones will be either HatHUT or HatMUSIC, the CDs will be either HatART or Hatology (or maybe HUT or MUSIC - I can't remember when they changed monikers). As for what is in print... I think Tenor & Fallen Angels and As Seriously as Your Life, both on Hatology, are available. I saw recently that Oleo is up for reprinting. Cadence still lists Old Eyes & Mysteries on CD and The Willisau Concert on vinyl. I've recently seen some of the others in stores as old stock. Of the Hat* releases, I've heard all but Rotation, Graphics, Blue Line, and Glasses, and the only one I don't think is worth having is Willisau. Can anyone comment on the 4 I've not heard? Black Magic Man (LP) Survival Unit II At WBAI's Free Music Store (CD) The Willisau Concert (LP) Tenor (LP)/ Tenor + Fallen Angels (CD) Rotation (LP) Graphics (LP) Variations on a Blue Line (LP) Glasses (LP) Joe McPhee, Milo Fine, Steve Snitka MFG in Minnesota HatHUT (2LP) Old Eyes (LP) /Old Eyes and Mysteries (CD) André Jaume & Joe McPhee Tales & Prophecies (LP) Topology (LP & CD) Oleo (LP) Oleo & A Future Retrospective (CD) Linear B (CD) Joe McPhee/Paul Plimley/Lisle Ellis Sweet Freedom, Now What?

Actuel
by Bill Ashline 11 Jun '03

11 Jun '03

I was checking my collection of Actuel rereleases today and was wondering how many of them have been released now on Fuel and Sunspots and whatever other configurations Charly invented. I have the first Braxton, the first Silva, the two Art Ensemble's, Sun Ra, Don Cherry, the two Archie Shepps, Sunny Murray, and Sonny Sharrock, as well as the box set. How many others have been released? Where is the cheapest place to get them? What are your favorites? I badly want the David Burrell, but preferably for less than 20 bucks. Thanks. -- No one wants to be the first to arrive at a party, right? Well there's no danger of being the first to join the 'Big Noise' petition to make trade fair - Archbishop Desmond Tutu just became the one millionth person to demand fairer trade rules by signing up.
