I love Elizabeth’s reactions and analysis of a wide range of music, for a professional opera singer / vocal coach she seems to enjoy and appreciate such a wide variety of styles from The Hu and Heilung via Post Modern Jukebox via Devin Townsend via Phil Collins. and many more.
Her attention to how the singer is using their ‘instrument’ to produce what they are singing is a fascinating addition to my listening to the original song.
This evening 15 Jan she did Heilung Noropu AND an interview with Maria.
My copy of this landed yesterday. Wow. I’m really enjoying the Jazz - Indian classical fusion.
Despite my enjoyment of the strength and depth of the current London / Tomorrows Warriors generated jazz scene, Sarathy Korwar has to be my favorite british producer of the last 2 years with this, ‘More Arriving’ and ‘My East is your West’ albums
Thanks for the Elephant link @Holmes. Great stuff. I’ll have to get this.
I do have his My East Is Your West CD incoming - I’m a sucker for anything that has versions of Creator Has A Master Plan, Satchinananda and Malkauns on it.
I’ve just bought two LPs by Bedouine. Hasn’t come across her before I listened to a cover of Thirteen by her, Waxahatchee and Hurray for the Riff Raff:
These are her two albums, both available on Bandcamp. The orchestral arrangements remind me of Nick Drake’s Northern Sky. It’s a gentle listen.
Not sure Kev, perhaps ‘Something In The Air’ or ‘The Kit Kat Club’. ‘The 50th Birthday Show’ may be another option, although this would be good to put in the 5th box set. The ‘97 KROQ Almost Acoustic Xmas‘ + some extras would be good and fit in with the years.
If they stick to the 2 LP / 1 CD format it limits the live event unless they chop bits off. There’s plenty of good boots out for this period but one things for certain, whatever it is it’ll not please everyone!
You hoping for anything specific?
I have the Kit Kat on boot, I would love to see a better quality version of that. Otherwise, assuming they were recorded, I would love to hear something from the US dates in the autumn of 1995 (the ones that opened with “Subterraneans”) – great selection of songs for those shows.
