apologize in advance for the difficult navigation and lack of readability of this blog. The basic function of the online journal is not very suitable for the presentation of my work. However, for those who would venture into the pages of this blog, they will discover, by chance of their research, the scope of my work geosynthetics.
Most of the work that I present on this Card has never been published on this blog, except a solitary white and ardent opposition . I hope they can be part of a forthcoming exhibition.
Thank you in advance for your visit. Best wishes for this new year 2011.
Acquired by correspondence in Amoeba United States around 2008 Ref: west018 - Published by Western Vinyl in the U.S. in 2003 Support: CD 12 cm 9 tracks I listened to a
cassette compilations of my car when it happened that way I forgot, excel, more than seven minutes without a second too long. I thought it was an excellent title Bill Callahan of Smog or I could not remember. It's that got to a red light or at the end of my journey when I could look at the cover of the cassette, that I realized my mistake: I'd just listen and greatly appreciate new Tangent of Burd Early . But my mistake is understandable: if James Angelos, the New York behind the pseudo Burd Early, not a voice as deep as that of Callahan, construction and instrumentation Tangent , and even how to raise his voice and intonations, make me think a lot of recent work in the former lead singer of Smog. It Philip R. who put me first on the track Burd Early to 2002-2003 in giving me the link to the MP3 Dritfwood at Epitonic. Subsequently, I collected a few others, including Fertilizer Waiting To Happen , Phonecall Away and Tangent. Meanwhile before listening to this tape, I also gained one way or another two CDs Burd Early, Observatory and Mind and mother, but upon returning to home I was disappointed that neither contained Tangent. Never mind, just a few clicks this Leveler to cover more qu'insipide was ordered. The key of this record is that of slow songs, acoustic, with instrumental parts that make you think for example the work of Mick Turner . A comparison not chosen randomly, as Turner and Burd Early were label mates at Western Vinyl and the original edition of Observatory has even been taken out by King Crab, a label of Anchor and Hope, the label the Dirty Three. Of these songs calm, I remember most Phonecall away, lit on purpose by the voice of Rosario Garcia-Montero, and Desire asymptotic very successful with its pedal steel, which has a small side Leonard Cohen in song. The central portion of the disc is more energetic, with Tangent First, the battery pack by Tim Barnes and Here we go again, that reminds me a lot of instrumental tracks from Calexico (but those not taste Mexican).
After 2005, Burd Early took the tangent and James Angelos has launched a new project, And Ret , who released Album Gasworks in 2006.
Purchased at Virgin Megastore in London in spring 1984 Ref: CBS 84725 - Published by CBS in the Netherlands in 1980 Support: 33 tours 30 cm 14 tracks
Outside Holland, career discography of Nits started in 1979 with their debut album at CBS, Tent. We really did not know at the time that the group had released in 1977 at her first single, Yes or No , and even an album, printed in 1000 copies in 1978. Tent, which I found cheap at Gibert Jeune at one of my first trips to Paris, is the first of a trilogy of albums of new wave Nits to store next to those of ' Ultravox! of Wire or XTC. I bought Work, the third, which was released in 1981, but initially I had New flat, I've always considered more or less my favorite of the lot, that tape duplication. If, paradoxically, I found myself in London to buy at full price (£ 6.49) this disc Dutch well aired in France, for a variety of reasons, including the fact that I lived in London at the time, I had a little money, I found that the disk (of course) but I think my motivation was primarily to make sure that I had all my favorite records of Nits few months after purchasing the same place the mini-album Kilo, too slow and too jazzy, a huge and abrupt disappointment after the great success that had been pop album Omsk . is the reference in my column Nits disc Yes Yes that made me want to highlight their first records, I'm not so often. I was very pleasantly surprised by listening carefully New flat. This disc is less synthetic than I remembered and much more energetic and even electric. Some keyboards, for sure, but not that much. Just a few snippets of drum machine, a lot of electric guitar, but ultimately the two most value are the battery, which is also supported, and bass, huge. There is not a weakness of the fourteen tracks on the album. It speaks of places (apartments, office ), objects, people too, and even a guy who turns into an object (A statue ). Everything is covered in a tone as detached as the graphics of the cover is clean. The new apartment New flat which opens the album during its early B-side, cooking different Different kitchen. Both, like Uncle on Mars, I do not think badly Devo. It is even more blatant New flat in live recording in 1982 in Haarlem found, with 361 other new titles, in Files Nits. I do not want to multiply the comparisons because the disc has its intrinsic value, excellent, but the reference points are the most obvious XTC's Barry Andrews era, Wire ( Saragossa particular) and more rarely Kraftwerk ( His first object ). Singing on the chorus of Safety in numbers makes me strongly think about a title of the first Talking Heads but I have not taken the time to find which one. I'm not far from thinking that the group consider these first discs - wrongly - as simple short pieces of youth. In 1989, 33 laps on the triple / double live CD Urk , Then Work was barely represented and Tent and New flat completely absent. Same or substantially on most compilations released. These three books have been published on CD at a time, but as much of their music at CBS, they are long out of print and sold at prices prohibitive to occasion. Given that they are not available for download, the best is yet to buy the editions in 33 laps, yet affordable. These records are essential to any fan of new wave are well worth the effort.

Purchased at Record & Tape Exchange in Notting Hill Gate 18 November 2010 Ref: NPCDSP0002 - Published by Neapolitan England in 2009 - Promo use only not for resale Support: CD 12 cm Titles: punk spirit (radio edit) - Punk Spirit (Album Version) - Punk Spirit (Instrumental)
It is used to record that the bins at 10 pence: to bet pennies on disks that strangers would never buy on other occasions. Wavves I saw pass the name, The Wave Pictures I know a little, while Wave Machines I do not know anything but the cover and the title is catchy, so ... Wave Machines is a band from Liverpool and Punk spirit is her fourth single, released in 2009 a few weeks after their first album (the only date), Wave if you're really There . Apparently, the first titles were quite electro, but this one at all. We're in a pop-rock record of good quality, with the scale, a hook in "Ah ah ah ah ah" on the chorus, which is not frowned upon: "Where is my mind punk when I need? . This CD adds to my now long list of promo CD in unique trade: In this intermediate phase of launch of online sales, Punk spirit is released for download in 45 rounds (with a cover slightly different and another song on side B) but This CD was produced solely for the press and professionals, and AFAIK is the only place where you can find the instrumental version of Punk spirit.
