>check out child's view (an alias of Nobukazu Takemura) - funfair >The above is on bubblecore. >only one track really has beats (well, the dylan group remix does as >well). Most of the tracks are similar to what oval has been doing lately. >Good stuff. Highly recommended. >> recommendations / discography on nobu anyone? >> (prefer more experimental / less beat-y material) >> btw the man was brilliant at steve reich remixed >> here in nyc on saturday. There's a review of 'Funfair' at: http://motion.state51.co.uk/reviews/359.html with a couple of samples plus a link to an old bellissima site, that's his old (defunct) label in Japan. The bellissima stuff is very jazz/dance and maybe not what your looking for but do look out for his new one on thrill jockey.... TAKEMURA, NOBUKAZU: Scope CD (THRILL JOCKEY). "Creatively, Nobukzu Takemura is inspired by both the 'impressionist and objective conception' of John Cage, Brian Eno and Afrika Bambaata, and the free form creativity of John Coltrane and Robert Wyatt. These influences are evident in his debut solo release, 1994's eponymous Child's View. 1997 saw the release of two records >from Takemura: the 2nd Child's View record, Child And Magic and Changing Hands, a collaboration with Steve Jansen and Richard Barbierie. Scope is Nobukazu's debut Thrill Jockey full length. The five tracks all vary widely in style. Some focus on repetitive grooves that gradually transform into symphonies of delicately layered waves of sound while others offer organ-based melodies and alluringly stretched vocals. Also evident are intricate conversations between blips and bleeps that have more personality than half the humans you know. Put away your BPM counters, this is modern technology morphing. Musique concrete." ---------------------------- ---+ jamie tetlow[state51] for new music reviews, features and shop finder http://motion.state51.co.uk/
