The Cooking Errchestra – Live At ICC 2-20-2000

 

Epic one-off collaboration between Masaya Nakahara of Violent Onsen Geisha/Hair Stylistics, Shusaku Hariya of Computer Soup and some other people, playing a great mix of free jazz, musique concrete, fried electronics and some AMAZING Gerogerigegege-like sex moans near the end! 2000 cd on Cha-Bashira.

Million Brazilians – Poderoso Monicato

At this point, MB had already started shifting into the sprawling psych/free jazz/ambient fourth world primitive cannibal spaceship that they now are, and this one is really a recording you can get lost in. 2015 LP on Psychic Sounds.

Million Brazilians – Cult Music Of Ajitz

 

This is the first full-length LP of MB, and I like it more than Hideous Visions. It has a much more rudimentary and lo-fi sound, based almost exclusively on various percussions that border on gamelan accompanied by wind instruments and it has a cryptic cannibal ritual atmosphere. 2010 LP on Psychic Sounds.

Konstantia Gourzi – Anájikon

Greek modern classical composer, moods alternating between mournful homages to Mozart, ominous percussive ballet improvisations and epic string quartets. One of the best ECM releases in a long time. 2021 cd on ECM.

Razen - Rim Saraband

 

One of the most "acoustic" but highly droned-out recording of Razen, featuring immersive jams with Eastern wind and string instruments. Awesome. 2013 tape on Sloow Tapes.

Raymond Dijkstra, Louise Landes Levi – In The Face Of Faceless Eye

 

Unnerving collaboration between Louise Landes Levi reciting poetry and Raymond Dijkstra (head of Des Astres d'Or label) doing evil sound collage, not too far away from Ruth White's Flowers Of Evil. 2019 LP on Des Astres d'Or.
