Greetings,

<<The Kubin is fun. You can hear an RA file
from it at: http://www.a-musik.com/mon/index.html
under the "Label" page. Also there are clips from
the upcoming Terre Thaemlitz 7" and Dat Politics
lp/cd. Both sound really impressive - especially the
dat politics release. do dat politics have anything
else out? The Goem is a bit more abstract than their 
Rastermusic and Mego releases. Dont have the signal or 
produkt>>

[Tard:] In addition, you can also sample a Goem track ("Eenentwintig"
4'18") available for download as an mp3 at EAR Labs:
(http://www.earlabs.org/indexinside.htm). The M. Behrens Kosovo Requiem
also there is a helluva lot better than Pavarroti & amigos, but if you've
heard Behrens' stuff before, don't expect to be able to tell the
difference. Not exactly a bad thing. 
        
<<him, and so on, it's pretty neato.) check out the records he did John Zorn
and Bill Frisell ('News for Lulu' and 'More News for Lulu') which are
absolutely mind blowing... that guy can get so much air through his horn
it's rediculous, and he plays faster than JJ.>>

[Tard:] It does not have electronics, but I prefer George Lewis' duet
improv with Bertram Turetzky (contrabass) off Incus. IMHO, it has
incredible range and enough playfulness to attract improv skeptics. But if
it's electronics and jazz you're looking for, then I heartily recommend the
new Polwechsel 2 record off HatArt. John Butcher replaces Radu Malfatti,
and Werner Dafeldecker plays some nicely fitting electronics. Almost sounds
like a jazzier Radian.

Lastly, I'm hoping someone can shed some light for me on the releases off
Tom Records. I stumbled upon the Tom website, which is beautiful btw,
following a link from the Karaoke Kalk site. What out of Tom's discog
should I buy/avoid? E-mail off-list if you prefer. 

Thanks, and best wishes, sgnd Tarden.
