FW: Avalanche Thoughts
by Ian Peel 30 Jan '02

30 Jan '02

Following a successful premiere in New York AVALANCHE THOUGHTS by Andrew Poppy & Julia Bardsley opens the NEW TERRITORIES Festival Featuring TANIA CHEN, piano Wednesday 13th & Thursday 14th February 2002 Exhibition open from 7pm Performance starts 7.30pm Tramway One, 25, Albert Drive, Glasgow G41 2PE Box Office: 0141 287 5511 www.newterritories.co.uk What they said in New York: 'AVALANCHE THOUGHTS, a work by the leading collaborative team of UK sound artist/composer Andrew Poppy and visual artist/filmmaker Julia Bardsley, "is a hybrid and heterogeneous work that combines the experience of the gallery, theater and concert hall, balancing video projection with live recorded music, sculptural objects, photographs, and text as object and sound." Yes, the combination might sound like an overkill, but this performance/installation is a commixture that brilliantly blurs the lines of space and memory, capturing stillness in the palm of tireless labor, as a traveller lost in a blizzard fights with oblivion and certainty. The piece features excerpts from Bardsley's short film, SNOW, with a partially trenchant otherwise soporific score by Poppy. It is nostalgia, glorified through moments of pleasure and destructive impulse - the embodiment of all that transforms the moment into eternity, saturated with agonising and erotic deliberations of the mind that incessantly press into the consciousness and finally surrenders to the articulation of the piano (performed live by Tania Chen) while the blizzard is kept at bay, still haunting, waiting, breathing into the rims of rationality. The only symbol of certainty is a chair, a chair that embodies the ghost of human experience - sensuous, scarred and hauntingly beautiful. I would encourage you to resist the urge to close your eyes and revel in the unfolding musical performance, lest you miss the breath-taking subtlety with which the space melds into the fingertips of the pianist... AVALANCHE THOUGHTS will leave you lingering - in the blizzards of your mind, in the images of your memory, luring you to indulge in the tangential fabrications of your own senses.'

Echo Of Frozen Faces 10:28 The one thing that would count against this being the real tracklist is that AFAIK, "Frozen Faces (extended)" is *part* of "Complete Machinery," so including them both would be redundant. Otherwise it's a good choice of tracks! Here's hoping they keep this release pattern up for a few more issues.

Propaganda
by Juan Lopez 17 Jan '02

17 Jan '02

Propaganda 12" mixes collection called Outside World (though this may later change) should be available late March or April according to latest news. Tracks include the DJ Mix of Dr Mabuse, the Beta wrap of pMachinery as well as other very tasty items. Don't give up hope just yet... Propaganda may well be officially dead as a group but this collection is on its way and worth waiting for ;) >From: Andrew Robinson <andrew(a)bml.co.uk> > >No sign of the rumored propaganda rarities CD there, or I would have >paid the Â£100 for it. _________________________________________________________________ Descargue GRATUITAMENTE MSN Explorer en http://explorer.yupimsn.com/intl.asp.

Promotional Box Set
by Andrew Robinson 15 Jan '02

15 Jan '02

I noticed an interesting item in my favorite record shop yesterday (which is Sister Ray, Berwick St., London if anyone is interested) It's a box set of pre-warner-era ZTT CDs, about 8-10 CDs, all brand new UK pressings in digipacks, in a cardboard box smothered in ZTT logos. The CDs were (I believe) the same tracklistings as the recent Repetoir German re-issues, so I decided not to pay Â£100 for a lot of music I already own and a cardboard box that I don't! There is a LOT of duplication in the package, ie Daft and Who's Afraid of, WTTPD, Liverpool and Bang all being included, and the shop only had 1 copy in it's 'rare box sets' behind the counter section, so I assume this is a promotional bribe for reviewers rather that a commercial release. No sign of the rumored propaganda rarities CD there, or I would have paid the Â£100 for it. - Andy_R
