One of those serendipitous music/environment moments this morning. As I was walking down Stamford Hill in a thickish mist, Colin Stetsonโs fathomlessly deep saxophone came looming out of my headphones like a foghorn This is one of the first things you hear on โNew History Warfare Vol. 2: Judgesโ, a pretty unusual and excellent record that Iโve been meaning to write about for a while.
Not a record Iโve pulled down from the shelves in a while, but this weekend I was inspired to locate a handsome set called โTibetan Buddhist Rites From The Monasteries Of Bhutanโ. The motivation, I guess, was a certain preoccupation with โTotem 3โ by The Master Musicians Of Bukkake, and its predecessor โTotem 2โ.
