Bobby Naughton said.....
I play vibraphone on this record. It was not recorded at '79 Moers Festival but rather a few days later at Palm Studio, Paris/France. The Leo Smith Creative Orchestra and The Roscoe Mitchell Creative Orchestra were indeed recorded at the Moers Festival by WDR but never released.(I have a private tape)I used my vibraphone at Moers but when we tuned up in the Paris studio I gave my A as pianist Marilyn Crispell sounded her A. Ouch! The tuning in Paris was A442 versus my vibes A440. The session was delayed about an hour until an A442 vibraphone was borrowed or leased.

dial-'infraction' released 1996 (no wave, avant rock)


heres a mysterious cd ive had for a while,a friend claimed he once read a review,that suggested this was an all female trio with some connections to the
little recorded late 70's newyork nowave band ut.
i have no idea if theres any connection. i cant find a
single referance to this anywhere that provides any more info than is on the cover.
all i can say is its a stunningly powerful album of very free rock with tunes that are minimaly composed a couple of the tracks are free improvs.
truly one of the best things in this vein ive ever heard.its ecstatic allright in its own numbed out way.sounds like it could even have been recorded in the late 70's or at any time between then and now.
if any body knows anything about the people on this disc please leave a comment. anyone liking classic mars, teenage jesus,early sonic youth
harry pussy,or even the nz free rock scene a la corpus hermeticum won't be disapointed.
BUY OTHER MUSIC BY DIAL,(AND IF YOU FIND ANY LEAVE A COMMENT WITH FULL DETAILS,I WANT MORE)the info which is included in the file lists these people as
j.ham-guitar,vocals r.smith-guitar,drum machine, d.weeks-bass

William Hooker-is eternal life 1977 (Incomplete)








This New York-based drummer has played a large part in forging a bond between the city's free-jazz and downtown rock scenes while — and this is the tricky part — refusing to compromise the purity of essence that's pervaded his music for nearly two decades. Hooker plays with enough power to steer combos suffused with post-punk guitar scree, while maintaining a terpsichorean grace (reminiscent of Rashied Ali, a John Coltrane sideman who has had ephemeral involvement with the avant-rock scene as well) that effortlessly demonstrates the limits of most "rock" percussion.Hooker's work is steeped in new age philosophy —
...Is Eternal Life resounds with intricate patterns that bring to mind aural recreations of Druid stone circles — but the burning intensity of something like the side-long duet with reedman David Murray would no doubt provoke convulsions among Windham Hill devotees who claimed the term as accepted nomenclature for their brand of holiday inn jazz.
the above is a trouser press review-by david sprague.

this album was first issued by reality unit concepts in 1977 ,though the material was recorded
in 1974-6 as far as i know(i may be wrong, does anyone know?) this is a very fine album,a must for hooker fans especially those whoprefer hooker in a setting approximating a classic free jazz situation.
whatever the context hooker's pulsating percussive waves seem irrevocably timeless ,another great drummerwho seems to me to have been influenced by Cecil Taylors pulsating , incandescent
rythymns.

this album features david murray,david s ware, mark miller(borbetomagus?),and two players i dont readily recognise les goodson,and hassan dawkins.
artwork and tracklist included.

PLEASE BUY WILLIAM HOOKER'S CD'S, MANY ARE AVAILABLE ON KNITTING FACTORY, ATAVISTIC AND OTHER LABLES.

the great marion brown has always been one of my very favourite jazz musicians.

a true original with a unique tone, please BUY AS MANY MARION BROWN CDS AS YOU CAN FIND!!! jubalee is one of my personal favourites it follows on from his first esp session which is also very highly recommended,and shares with that release a lot of the personnel and many structural affinities.one thing that distinguishes brown from the run of the mill esp crowd,for me is the notable structural integrity of his compositions ,

they are always interesting and run a huge gamut from modal and completely free , as well as complex highly chromatic bebop /hardbop extensions. JUBALEE' has been criminally unavailable for many many years.i could not even find a decent review.


the personnel is as follows.marion brown, grachan moncur-trb,reggie maupin-tenor,bscl, alan shorter-flug h,trpt dave burrell-pno,reggie johnson-db,beaver harris-dr

google sensors itself for profits in china

Google censors itself for China

Leading internet company Google has said it will censor its search services in China in order to gain greater access to China's fast-growing market.
Google has offered a Chinese-language version of its search engine for years but users have been frustrated by government blocks on the site.
The company is setting up a new site - Google.cn - which it will censor itself to satisfy the authorities in Beijing.
Google argued it would be more damaging to pull out of China altogether.
While removing search results is inconsistent with Google's mission, providing no information... is more inconsistent with our mission
Google statement
Critics warn the new version could restrict access to thousands of sensitive terms and web sites. Such topics are likely to include independence for Taiwan and the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre.
The Chinese government keeps a tight rein on the internet and what users can access. The BBC news site is inaccessible, while a search on Google.cn for the banned Falun Gong spiritual movement directs users to a string of condemnatory articles.
Google's move in China comes less than a week after it resisted efforts by the US Department of Justice to make it disclose data on what people were searching for.
this originaly appeared january last year.
on the bbc online news site

yet here we all are as appraised as we can be of the facts in western so called democracies where media blackouts are an everyday occurance,willingly signing up to jump through the hoops when it requires us to do so.
are we complicit in censorship.
when will google censor us?
