The BIG
news or should I say bug news is the 8-CD box set
Insect and Western, truly an art object but no less a musical
event on a grand scale. Players from many countries and most states in
the union have taken part in performances involving works from my Insect
and Western series. Documentation to date has been highlighted by three
separate discs on the British Leo label: Insect Attracter, Worms with
Strings and Beauty and the Bloodsucker. This deluxe box set contains all
three of these discs in their original CD—not CD-R—pressings plus all
the liner booklet and tray card art. In addition owners will find the
Bedbugs CD-R featuring fine jazz players from the St. Petersburg,
Florida scene. Plus there are four more discs of previously unreleased
material. Sacred Insects of Ancient Egypt is the only new title that
will also be available separately, see description below. The two-disc
Butterfly Garden examines this suite in contrasting solo and septet
modes: the maestro Keiji Haino dug the solo performance, taped at The
Stone in New York City in May of 2006. Finally there is a brand new disc
overviewing various compositions in the series in more recent
performances, including the Emotional and Intellectual World of the
Cockroach, a new version of the Worms With Strings suite and excerpts
from a French workshop version of Sacred Insects of Ancient Egypt done
without my physical participation. Much artwork and copious examples of
scores in these beautiful boxes. Truly a deluxe gift.
Eight discs and handmade artwork for $115
postpaid in USA, $125 elsewhere. Musicians who have participated in
these recordings can apply for a 25 per cent discount if they would like
to own a copy of this massive set! |

Eugene Chadbourne - G.O.I.N.:
Get Out of Iraq Now on DVD
(straw2gold pictures)
straw2gold pictures releases a 2006 feature length Eugene Chadbourne &
the Get Out of Iraq Now band concert DVD
with extensive bonus MP3 material.
Eugene Chadbourne spent the '80s playing with such "new wave" icons as
The Violent Femmes and Camper Van Beethoven, along with his seminal
group Shockabilly. These two concerts feature The Violent Femmes' Brian
Ritchie and Victor DeLorenzo. Joined by Brian Jackson, who made his mark
playing with Gil Scott-Heron, the G.O.I.N. Quartet plays an impressive
set of moody jazz and pointed protest in Amsterdam's beautiful Bimhuis
Theater. The G.O.I.N. band is quite simply one of the most solid in
Eugene Chadbourne's long career. Without a doubt, the concert captured
herein is nothing short of excellent.
The DVD features the band smoking live and speaking out in conscience on
twenty-one tracks (21) with a range of cover tunes from the likes of
Albert Ayler, Gil Scott-Heron, George Gershwin, John Coltrane and
Pharoah Sanders. As well as originals written by Dr. Chad played with
his amazing band.
This DVD includes 109 minutes of beautiful and scenic concert footage
from Amsterdam's Bimhuis Theater. It also includes three (3) hours of
additional audio material from the entire Bimhuis concert as well as
select tracks from the Plusetage concert. This material is in MP3 format
and is easily transferable from the DVD to a home computer and then to
MP3 players such as ipods for portable use.
This DVD most importantly captures an enigmatic performance of friends
and compatriots enjoying themselves onstage making a pointed political
protest against an unjust war. The tunes they choose and the message
brought forth from the music is beautiful, and defiantly a call for
peace.
