        I am waiting for a considerable consignment of electronic music by Jean-Claude Eloy.

          It's probably not very good though
          Woah!! Excellent

          Watch out for the Blind Lemon Jefferson cover, "See That My Grave Is Kept clean"

          About Blind Lemon Jefferson here - http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blind_Lemon_Jefferson

          They did the whole of the album at the Electric Ballroom, Camden a few weeks ago.

          I think this album, the first one in eight years from these guys, is the best thing they've ever done.

          The book is great too.

          How do these guys manage to identify the most diverse and idiosyncratic songs, deconstruct them and put them back together into something totally different from the sum of the parts!!??

            Hummm

            After a first listen I'm not sure its as good as Volk or even Opus Dei but worth repeated listening

                You will regret saying that.

                You will come to rate this album above all others. I bet.

                At first, it may not catch one as the other albums do. Read the book, listen again. Absorb.

                  I had the same response to it. Then, after a few days and a few listens, it knocked me sideways.

                  I personally rate it as one of my top ten favourite albums of all time, and I've only had it 3/4 weeks!

                  Trust me!!

                    Anton Webern - Complete Works

                    Pierre Boulez Deutsche Grammophon.

                    I have the Sony set, but I've decided to get this too.

                    Personally very keen on both 2VS and Boulez

                        Excellent set. I've got both Boulez sets ever since they were published.
                        The original 4LP sony set was planned to be Volume 1 of a 2 volume set (as the last page of the accompanying books confirms). That 2nd set never materialized - and what that 2nd set might have consist of: (nearly) all is included here.

                        What isn't in this set: the Pieces opus 6 in their original orchestration, and Siegfried's Schwert, a ballad for tenor (IIRC) and orchestra. The original 3rd mvt of the Symphony op.21 isn't in it either, but that's a reconstruction -but so is one of the 13 Pieces for orchestra which originally formed the opus 10 set - and that one is included.

                        But whatever: I love and cherish this set, played it completely in February.

                            Thanks for the additional information as to its completeness.

                            I like the Sony set very much, and from what you say, I'm in for a treat!

                              I got rapped over the knuckles for mentioning the omission of Siegfried's Schwert fro the Radio 3 complete Webern day. Seems it was an arrangement of the work by Martin Plüddemann, and not an original composition by Webern. Shame about the failure to include it nonetheless. Likewise the lack of the full orchestra version of Op. 6 is regrettable.
