THE MOST EVER COMPANY - PLAYS LIVE VOLUME 2

• the most ever company: plays live volume 2
      (2012, cdr, usa, tmec 0202 / private release)

The Most Ever Company (or TMEC) is an art collective from Oklahoma.
As their Bandcamp page states :TMEC is an anonymous fictional art collective in Oklahoma imagining fictional bands releasing fictional avant-garde music.
They have released quite a number of albums in various formats : computer disc, vinyl, CDR, CD, cassette,...

Their "The Most Ever Company Plays Live Volume 2" album compiles various live (mostly audience) recordings. It includes a rather straight-forward version of Frank Zappa's 'Peaches En Regalia' (right after ELP's 'Karn Evil 9').
Sounds pretty good. A bit chaotic, but that's just fine.

Available on CDR (sold at concerts), but also through Bandcamp !

Prince-influenced, contemporary pop.
Hard copy CD available from Guy Segers through his Bandcamp page.

Data has been entered into the United Mutations Archives.

THE TUBES - NOW

• the tubes: now
      (1977, lp, usa, a & m)

Telling you that Don Van Vliet played saxophone on 'Cathy's Clone' on The Tubes' "Now" album is pretty old news. The same goes for the fact that the band covers 'My Head Is My Only House" on the very same album.

But I only recently found out that this 1977 vinyl album got issued on CD.
There's a couple of different editions. The prettiest one is the 2004 release by Acadia / Evangeline Records. It has a blue album cover and it has the front and back pictures switched.

LA GRANDE FORMATION - ANYONE LIVED IN A PRETTY HOW TOWN

• la grande formation: anyone lived in a pretty how town
      (1991, cd, bel, igloo igl 090)

Checking out Fabrizio Cassol's discography brought me to La Grande Formation. I mentioned the ensemble's second album, "Galilée" (1993), a little while ago, but I'm happy that I found "Anyone Lived In A Pretty How Town" as well.

Beautiful.

Here's 'Lettre Ouverte Á Charles Mingus' (open letter to charles mingus) :

FABRIZIO CASSOL - REQUIEM POUR L.

• fabrizio cassol: requiem pour l.
      (2018, cd, bel, outhere music out 663)

We saw the live performance of Fabrizio Cassol's "Requiem Pour L." a little while ago at 'De Warande' in Turnhout, BE.
Mozart's "Requiem" reworked for African musicians and classical voices.

Impressive. Very impressive. Maybe it was a bit too confronting at times as the performance included a giant screen showing the last moments of a dying woman. Peacefully and surrounded by family, but still rather confronting.

The entire performance made a huge impression.

"Requiem Pour L.", the album, sounds great. I love the arrangements, the world music touch, and, especially, the superb classical voices.

Out on the Outhere record label.

PIERREJEAN GAUCHER & JULIEN ALLEGRE - LES ÉTINCELLES HURLANTES

• pierrejean gaucher & julien allègre: les étincelles hurlantes
      (2018, cd, france, musiclip mui809)

Pierrejean Gaucher's latest release captured him cooporating with Julien Allegre,
Sculptor and musician Julien Allègre supplied percussive sounds that he had made with / on / through his sculptures. Pierrejean Gaucher reworked these sounds and added guitar, shaping the whole into compositions.

The result is beautiful.
13 jazzy, experimental, but most of all fascinating pieces
