a few more lovely things.
tom waits: nighthawks at the diner; alice
nurse with wound: the sylvie and babs hi-fi collection
muslimgauze: hand of fatima; dome of the rock
old favorites that i forgot about before:
television: marquee moon
pere ubu: dub housing
xtc: drums and wires
i am not sure that indian classical recordings would count in this sweepstakes, but there are three that i am beyond taken with:
pandit ram narayan: in concert at the salle gaveau, paris
pandit v.g. jog: classical violin
pandit pran nath: morning raga
the last one is simply beyond belief. i dont know what else to say about it: pran nath had such command of his voice that in some ways he seems not to quite be of this dimension at all. i imagine that hearing recordings is not the wholesale brain rearrangement experience that seeing him would have been, but he died a while ago and i never got the chance.
so there's this record.
damn.
