pauldurango's december2k8 mixtape


Since you like the music on this blog (?), I decided to share with you my latest monthly mixtape consisting of (VARIOUS..) tunes I listen to nowadays.. 'MUSIC OF THE MONTH' kindof..

74 minutes of music, all periods, all genres, all kinds..

The point of making those was to burn 'em and have some music to listen to while driving.. since then i got an 8 Gb Zune (nice) BUT i guess i'll continue to brainstorm those each month anyway.. its somehow great to know that 'i was listening to that 2 years ago', 'i discovered that at that time' etc..
I think you should try! ;-)

Anyway I began the whole process 3 years ago so if you like it, i'd be able to post some more........

This month's all about :

01 - GOBLIN - Mark Il Bagarozzo
02 - METRONOMY - My Heart Rate Rapid
03 - YOU - Time Code
04 - DEATH IN VEGAS - Neptune City
05 - ANANDA SHANKAR - Light My Fire
06 - DICK HYMAN - Strobo
07 - BERNARD ESTARDY - Le Pain, Le Vin
08 - HARRY THUMANN - Andromeda
09 - SAUVEUR MALLIA - Radio Synthebass
10 - SEBASTIEN TELLIER - Universe
11 - DUSTY SPRINGFIELD - In The Middle Of Nowhere
12 - HEATWAVE - The Groove Line (Extended)
13 - GUIDO E MAURIZIO DE ANGELIS - Arrembaggio
14 - CLAUDE PERRAUDIN - Speed Car
15 - GRANDADDY - I'm On Standby
16 - THE CHEMICAL BROTHERS - The Boxer
17 - JOE MEEK AND THE BLUE MEN - Dribcots Space Boat
18 - BEASTIE BOYS - Looking Down The Barrel Of A Gun
19 - LADYTRON - Deep Blue

update -- NU LINK! (working..)

The Flaming Lips movie 'Christmas On Mars' is OUT!



After 5 (?) years of waiting and 7 of making, their SF flick is out on dvd since mid-november !

The plot ?

It's Christmastime, and the colonization of Mars is underway. However, when an oxygen generator and a gravity control pod malfunction, Major Syrtis (the Lips' Steven Drozd) and his team (including the Lips' Michael Ivins) fear the worst. Syrtis also hallucinates about the birth of a baby, and many other strange things. Meanwhile, a compassionate alien superbeing (Coyne) arrives, inspiring and helping the isolated astronauts.

from the imdb page

Knowing the troubadours, it sounds like great fun.

Since its a supa band which'll need the bucks to make more music (and movies?), I'll post here only the FIRST FIVE TRACKS of the soundtrack -- which is great => REAL sci-fi sounds

The Flaming Lips - 01 - Once Beyond Hopelessness
The Flaming Lips - 02 - The Distance Between Mars And The Earth-Part One
The Flaming Lips - 03 - The Horrors Of Isolation The Celestial Dissolve, Triumphant Hallucination, Light Being Absorbed
The Flaming Lips - 04 - In Excelsior Vaginalistic
The Flaming Lips - 05 - Your Spaceship Comes From Within

that's 17 Mb here!

Then, feel free to go to

and buy the whole shebang !

VISIT isbumsplace.blogspot.com !!

More like a forum than a proper music blog, take a look at http://isbumsplace.blogspot.com/ !!

Been a while since I didn't get there and it's - well - frankly amazing !

Different sections for specific music types and genres.. I'd recommended the following :

Original Incredible Filmscorium

The Science Fiction Planetarium

and of course

European Cine-Scores

Been there 5 minutes and found this :

Alessandro Alessandroni - Prisma Sonoro (1974)

Now for the album of the week.
.
01 - Galleria Di Immagini
02 - Personale
03 - Congetture Melodiche
04 - Aspetti Musicali
05 - Breve Dialettica
06 - Punti Di Vista
07 - Vocali Sul Pentagramma
08 - Evocazioni D'Amore
09 - Dialoghi D'Amore
.
Attention, attention.. That's Alessandro Alessandroni, that's 1974, that's pretty rare and quite a.w.e.s.o.m.e
.
In this interview, when asked 'which was the most successful record or production, apart from the work with Morricone?'
.
Mr. Alessandroni (basically Morricone supa sidekick for those who wouldn't know..) stated : 'As far as success, none in particular, but as for personal satisfaction surely "Prisma Sonoro" on Sermi. The editor gave me total freedom, so I composed for a great orchestra with 16 violins, 4 violas, 4 cellos, it was truly fun. It isn't often that a producer leaves you free to compose whatever you want.'
.
Well.. What can I say ?
.
PUSH THE BUTTON !
.
And many thx for House303 for uploading this !! (on my library blog..)

Eat It Raw - Obscure Japanese Library compilation..

As requested, here's the 'Eat It Raw' compilation.

It features top notch 1968-1973 funk and grooves from some unknown asian friends.
That's REALLY good so I'd recommended it to anyone interested in that sort of thing...

But I REALLY don't know more... found nothing on the web as well....

My private great little blue bird brought me this one a few months ago and then all the track titles and id3v2 tags were completely messed up (<> as you know and most of the time, japanese characters don't appear greatly in our europeean computers..) so i renamed the tracks into 'Track X' patterns..

The whole thing (36 tracks/100Mb) packs 6 tracks from 6 different sources (both 'official' LPs and bootlegs I presume) :

Sukeban Guerrilla
The Spiders Movie Tracks
VA - Gangland War - The World of Akira Kobayashi
VA - Nikkatsu New Action - 1968 to 1971
VA - Nikkatsu New Action - Stray Cat Rock
VA - Teppoudama No Bigaku - The World Of Sadao Nakajima

'Stray Cat Rock' rings a bell ... I'll have to research more...

Anyway, over here for some deep asian grooves!

Feel free to pass the knowledge along in the comments if you can!

ThX

Magma - Kobaïa (1970)

ANYONE HAS THE JAPANESE RELEASE ?!

02 October 2008

Now for some movies (?)


.
I saw this one yesterday and consider it to be one of the greatest surprise lately ; didn't knew much about any of the cast or crew (except the fact that Mena Suvari is certainly one the young american actress 'I love to hate' the most.. was great in Six Feet Under and American Beauty. Used to play very annoying yet complex characters you would empathize with but simply can't. And Stuart Gordon's Edmond I heard about but did not see it. Well now I will...)
.
THE PLOT : A young woman commits a hit-and-run, then finds her fate tied to her victim.
.
Yeah right.. THAT is evasive.. But i don't want to spoil it anyway.
That's very much black comedy, horror flick yet deep into realism, hand-helded camera shots..
That's only 80 minutes, dense, full, great actors. Great suspens.
You should give it a try !
.
.
.
.
Then a great document about the 2000 Presidential election in the US : begins with the election on 7 November and ends with the Supreme Court ruling which stopped the Florida election recount on 12 December.
.
This 'HBO movie' won 3 Emmies :
1/ Outstanding Directing for a Miniseries (which went to Jay 'Austin Powers' Roach. Sydney Pollack was set to direct it but had to be excused because of his death)
2 / Outstanding 'Made for Television' Movie
3 / Outstanding Single-Camera Picture Editing for a Movie.
And deserved those !
.
Some criticized the movie for its mixture of fact with fiction but eh well.. That's just a point of view on some facts and Jay Roach, well aware of that, stated in response that the film, "wasn't 100 percent accurate, but it was very true to what went on. . . . That's what dramatizations do : stitch together the big ideas with, sometimes, constructs that have to stand for a larger truth."
.
Plain and honest.
.
And that's an horror show really.. Thinking that America is the leader of worldwide economy (and finance .. thanks a bunch fellows..) and that being a fact, that its leader election could change the face of the world for decades to come..
HORROR when you know that this election (in Florida anyway..) was about knowing if they should recount only real holes in the bulletins and/or pinpricks too.. (Old people - when in your voting booth, please press harder ! -).. Should they consider a medium-pin-push on the paper a 'real intent to vote for someone' ?! Or not ?! when Bush's victory in Florida was from about 1,800 votes (beofre recount), out of a total of over 6,000,000, putting those old f*** manual voting machines is HORROR.. And not knowing for a fact WHO WON is real horror too..
.
No need to cut throats to make horror.. (2008 Palme d'Or 'Entre Les Murs' (i saw 5 days ago) is much much much horrific by the way. It got THE PALME D'OR, it has to, c'mon)
.
It features a bunch of great actors (Kevin Spacey, Tom Wilkinson, John Hurt), nice directing & editing (good rhythm) and provides some real enlightenment about this situation, much precise as the europeean medias could have reported about it at the time.. You won't get closer to THE truch (this show isn't a documentary.. well, that's A SHOW basically..) but 'll certainly get closer to some kind of truth that makes sense.
.
And it's rather funny.. When republican Laura 'Katherine Harris' Dern (who's basically in charge of the election legitimacy in the state of Florida), in the eye of the hurricane, says ingenuously : 10 years ago, I was teaching the chicken dance to seniors, and now I've been thrust into a political tempest of historical dimensions..
.
You kinda laugh.
Kind of.
Horror laugh.
.
.
.
.
Now for some good thrills. From some characters you care about.
.
" 2 hit men cool-off away from the UK in Bruges after awry job in London : Ken (Brendan Gleeson, awesome) the old hand, enjoys and embraces the medieval feel of the belgian city, with a fatherly attitude toward Ray (Colin Farrell, usually not a fan, but wery good too in it), young, bored, confused about the absurdity of the whole she-bang "
.
And then some happens..
.
This movie is currently in the TOP 250 on imdb (#241..) , between 'La Dolce Vita' and 'Rocky'..
.
Couldn't be better !
.
Enjoy it too !
.
.
.
And buy DVDs sometimes, at least for small-budgeted flicks............
.
Hope you liked this post ;-)
