WARREN ELLIS LTD Articles.
2 CD set, arrived Friday. You can order the set here at projektrecords.bandcamp.com and listen to a bunch of it. It came out in 2003, and is a classic of the ambient form. All four CDs are going into the machine momentarily and that will be the soundtrack into early evening.
Well, this is exquisite, and soothing my ruined body today. This set includes a blu-ray of a performance of the suite, narrated by the wonderful Tilda Swinton, whom I had drinks with in Edinburgh once, and we remained in touch by email for some time afterwards. She is just as fantastic a human as you would expect, as well as being one of the great actors and voices of our time.
A gorgeous, inventive and melancholy work.
Just arrived on CD, from Smithsonian Folkways. I pre-ordered this a while ago, because I found it completely transporting.
Wu Fei and Abigail Washburn’s debut collaborative release is a testament to the connective power of music across seemingly disparate cultures. Merging American old-time music and Chinese folksong, Wu Fei & Abigail Washburn features gorgeous, impressionistic renditions of traditional material from the hills of Appalachia to the prairies of Xinjian province, each tune flowing seamlessly into the next.
Have a listen for yourself:
Finally obtained some of her work on CD, thanks to Winter-Light. Have a listen to her marvellous work at leilaabdulrauf.bandcamp.com.

A sonic history of Klaus Schulze. There’s 15 of these box sets. Might as well get started — it’s the equivalent of that huge key novel you’ve been assuming you’ll save for a long holiday or your retirement years.
We’re not going full End Times over here, you understand, but bleakly beautiful visuals with bleakly beautiful music by Simon Fisher Turner is better than looking at the feeds or the news for me today.
Second Run DVD really do provide an amazing service. Between them, BFI and Artificial Eye I’d be bankrupt tomorrow if I didn’t hold myself under tight control.
Just arrived. Go to kurtankeny.com and you too can own these fine books. Looking forward to getting into these tonight.
