Vibrating Air by William Delano

https://williamdelano.bandcamp.com/album/vibrating-air

Originally released in 83 Vibrating Air is timeless unassailable and should be a well-known drone classic. It focuses relentlessly on singular tones with various swells of sound swirling in the mix. More stripped and less forgiving than Klaus Schulze this falls somewhere between KS and La Monte Young.

Absolutely a must listen for innerspaceboy.

Trade Winds by Natasha Barrett

https://www.subradar.no/album/natash...tt/trade-winds

Cool af unassailable electroacoustic music centered around the sounds of the sea and spoken word. Ros probably knows why I’m wrong but I hear Stockhausen all over this. This being a 21C piece however as expected it has more directional focus as is usually the case with rebuilding on what the giants so brilliantly deconstructed. This is a blast to listen to. I love when the sound of water is used effectively in music and this is right up there with the best of best.

This album is a forgotten gem of Pioneering free jazz improv punk rock fusion. Even though Greg Ginn is Greg Ginn I still think he’s a seriously underrated guitarist, especially by jazz fans. The instrumental tracks on the seemingly almost forgotten Black Flag’s Family Man attest to the brilliance of Ginn’s improv chops. Joe Baiza who more so than Greg Ginn bridges the gap between punk rock and free jazz is great. If you’re at all partial to this type of music his discography is essential. This is music that was highly influenced by Ornette and weed and probably most importantly 1980’s LSD. Somebody has to come to this record’s defense. It’s under appreciated because it doesn’t pay deference to punk or jazz. It’s irreverent music but the spirit and talent shine through. Some day this will be universally heralded as a cult classic masterpiece and you can tell all your friends you heard it here first.

Epithets — Keith Fullerton Whitman

https://keithfullertonwhitman.bandca...album/epithets

1.What is it made of, or its material cause?

Epithets (2015) is a 12-channel, 44 minute electronic work released on cassette and digital stream.

2.What is its structure, or its formal cause?

Electroacoustic music in the tradition of the early pioneers of the 1950’s - 1960’s.

3.How did it get started, or what is its efficient cause?

Tony Myatt & Oli Larkin's "The Morning Line;" a 53-channel hybrid sculpture / Acousmatic space currently installed in front of ZKM in Karlsruhe, Germany.

4.What is its purpose, or its final, or telic, cause?”

An objection to dreadful events taking place under social anesthesia. To disrupt routines and to get people unyoked from their habits of mass media long enough to question what’s going on.

Philly Joe Jones Avec Jef Gilson Et Son Ensemble

Going through PJJ’s discography is something FF is supposed to be doing. This one is available track by track thanks to a kindhearted youtuber.

It’s PJJ with these French dudes in a session in Paris ‘69. They’re trying to go cool and modal and even have a cellist soloing, which is the most engaging part of the record, but PJJ just keeps playing bop like he doesn’t give two ****s what they’re up to. At the time, it was probably pretty off putting to the typical jazz fan but in our post-modern minds it works pretty ****ing well.

Time for another Freak Fighter interview!

This time with the beloved Exo!

Exo, is it true you own a record store? If the word “own” exaggerates your position at the shop what are the exact deets?

I use the term "run a record store" because I don't have any ownership in anything.

Basically the owner opened a bookstore with a small record section. I found the store early and was a frequent shopper and noticed the record prices were either too high or in many cases too low. I offered my assistance to help price the records and long story short just never left and became the only "employee" the store has.

I control everything record related with the store and since he opened, the store has basically flip flopped into a record store with a book section which is fine because it saved the business. The owner, who is basically my partner/best friend now so I don't have that "authority" figure telling me what to do and when to do it. It's actually why we work so well together. He hates telling people what to do and I work very well by myself. So I basically built the record store aspect myself.

The store is a product of the both of us, but I pretty much manage and control the record aspect. I price, buy, and organize every record in the shop.
