" His first album of new recordings for almost 3 years and follow up to In A Time Lapse sees Einaudi influenced by the world around him. Nature’s elements (earth, water, air, and fire), mathematical and scientific elements, musical forms and works of arts including those by Kandinsky. This album brings these seemingly disparate elements together into one concept. Performed by Einaudi and his band the album includes his trademark piano melodies and stirring ensemble playing on tracks including Night, Elements and Four Dimensions. "

List is a little questionable, imo. But pitchfork just put up a 50 best ambient list.

Happy to see:

Basinski - Disintegration Loops at 3

Caretaker - Empty Bliss at 14

Grouper - AIA at 21

Agreed! Also, I expected some Eno, but they got almost all of his essential pieces in there which is deserved. Not to mention Suzanne Ciani, John Hassell, Steve Roach and Laraaji making the list.

I can't find it on the site fml. That would have been a better alternative to bullmoose. 

Regarding that big Gas / Wolfgang Voigt box:

 

I used the new CCMusic.com coupon just now for 25% off  (OCTCCM25).

 

They have the box priced at $149.   The 25% off coupon brought the price down to $112.   Shipping was $14 though, bringing the total up to $126.

Do they immediately charge or at shipment? My BM order was $170 ugh

Some pictures of the GAS boxset have surfaced. It's gorgeous!

Noted: "All tracks are available in maximum length and best sound quality, both on vinyl and CD. And yes, the GAS BOX is limited."

 

Also this lovely little blurb direct from Wolfgang Voigt:

"...While the box shows the history of GAS so far, it also makes way for new material and a new live show to be expected for next year."

Bing & Ruth: 'No Home of the Mind'

 

17th February 2017

 

Available on limited transparent 2xLP.

Bing & Ruth - No Home of the Mind

Established in 2006, Bing & Ruth is an ever-evolving collective steered by composer David Moore.  A pianist from Kansas and graduate of New York’s school of Jazz and Contemporary Music at the New School, Moore’s work follows in the great tradition of fellow alumni John Cage and Steve Reich, albeit looking past the more studied repetition of the style’s forerunners toward a meditative form built on feeling.

With Moore at its nucleus, Bing & Ruth’s line-up has transmuted from the eleven-strong line-up that created debut album City Lake (“A stunning, humble record built on traditions we all understand, yet, somehow feels dizzyingly new.” – The Quietus) to a cast of seven for 2014’s Tomorrow Was The Golden Age (“One of the finest leftfield releases of the year.” – Pitchfork).  With No Home of the Mind, the ensemble has been streamlined to a five-person unit, exploring the piano’s percussive qualities alongside running woodwinds, warbling tape delays and splattered upright bass lines that stare out with a wide-eyed transcendence, taking so-called “classical” music to new limits.

Sonic Pieces will put out both F.S. Blumm & Nils Frahm albums on colored vinyl re-issues on 11/25!

 

psyched since I missed the first editions

Fuck....I love Sonic Pieces but I already bought the first pressings on black :( 

Really nice packaging as usual, though. And it's cool that Nils' dad took the photos for the album art (at least for the second one).

Excellent share.  I'm a little confused though; the physical mediums don't drop and ship until January 13th... but can't be ordered until January 13th...?  Where's the pre-order come into play?

Was just about to post the same thing.

 

In other news... anyone else loving the new The Swifter album that Sonic Pieces just released?

not entirely sure. there's confusion on the facebook comments as well. no official response yet. it's not a pre-order if you can't pre-order.
