Favoriting Explorers Room with Flash Strap: Playlist from November 2, 2017 Favoriting

Flash Strap's avatar View Flash Strap's profile Favoriting

This is where all of culture and all of time are collapsed into one seductive portal and viewed through the panoramic lens of the exotic. Come and embark on an armchair-travel virtual-voyage to the heart of timeless darkness and beyond; embrace the numinous monolith of the exotic immensity. Let us find that place where hybridization meets its destiny as pure fantasy. Let us become observers observing those others who are ourselves. You wear your mask and I'll wear mine.

this is a really good Sophisticated Lady, also. What an arrangement
Avatar 7:51pm
Flash Strap:

Hi LD!

@NGH: that, along with soundtracks which are often very similar esp. when it gets into TV, does make up the vast majority of his work. What's interesting is that he handled most of his own releases
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:54pm
Little Danny:

I have ""Blues for Gassman" on some weird comp somewhere, always reminds me of Jimmy Giuffre
Avatar 7:56pm
northguineahills:

I'm trying to remember who besides Cage incorporated a typewriter in compositions early on (pre-1970).
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:58pm
Little Danny:

@NGH: Henry Jacobs did!
Avatar 7:58pm

There's a really good Mancini typewriter soundtrack in one of the first Columbo episodes

Henry Jacobs, yeah! that's a really good one too

He did another LP for St. Germain des Prés called Effets Speciaux, but my rip is pretty bad-sounding

I am in my 4th day without electricity and listening to my evening shows by candlelight, this is a good soundtrack.

Is the rest of Il Ponte Dell'Asia as good as this?

I will admit to being completely overwhelmed by Umiliani's catalog

if i recall, yes it is!

melinda:

Major winds in New England Sunday night and Monday morning. I guess there were some remnants of an Atlantic storm, but they hadn't predicted the force so it was kind of a surprise. 69 mph, my front yard tree lost 3 huge branches, one of them on top of the power line.
Avatar 8:28pm
Flash Strap:

me too, LD, hence the 2-parter. I'm more overwhelmed by what I DON'T have and "need" to get than what I do have, however

what a pain, Melinda!
