Newly released or newly found global music

[ferneyhoughgeliebte]

i've helped finish that for you Ferney.

Well - now you're just being silly!

these last few posts - that's why I like this forum.



thanks for the suggestions, which I considered when choosing the current title, being in mind of the need NOT to impinge on

and because 'of a certain sort' is deliciously vague - the sort of newly released music you won't find on the above sub-forum.

Maybe.

Slips off the tongue a treat, Global. What is it they say about camels again?

I'm loving the voice of Tamer Abu Ghazelah's vocals on the newly released music of a certain sort by Alif, 'Aynama-Rtama. Some great sounds in there. Here's the opening track.

Apparently Max Richter has just released an 8 hour piece called Sleep.
Max does a lot of film sound tracks, therefore, I'm wondering if
a) it's 5 minutes short but is meant to accompany this one

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empire_%281964_film%29

or
b) it's presently un-edited and is a 3 hour over run initial version to accompany this one

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleep_%28film%29

But why has he waited for 50 years?
Maybe I'm the only person wondering this?
anyway, despite somewhat predictable responses elsewhere in another sub-forum, I enjoyed the parts I heard.

I can also (so far) recommend Tom Service's programme, The Singing Ape, currently on, which has lots of WM in it, as well as Nina Simone:

http://bbc.in/1KGmWIs

has some fascinating mind-stretching topics as well as music.

To paraphrase FF & Nina Simone (how often does one get to write that?) -

it's a new dawn
it's a new day
birds flying free
must be a new look radio 3
...and I'm feelin' good

I'll look that one out, Global. I went to sleep listening to Sleep and woke a couple of times enjoying what I was hearing. However about 3.45 I woke with a start as the music seemed to up volume (piano and Violin); went for a wee pee and when I got back I was finding the music really intrusive, but I stuck with it and then got really edgy and uncomfortable with the sounds coming from the radio. Decided to switch off, loved the silence and drifted happily away. Thought about switching on when I stirred at 6am but stuck with the silence.

v. dedicated JC, v.dedicated. I listened to the beginning a bit and then from 6-8 - just right to wake up to.
Now I think with these perspicacious and perceptive comments, we've earnt our right to become professional r3 music reviewers don't you?

I've loved the song 'The Blacksmith' since I first heard it on Steeleye's 'Hark! the Village Wait' way back when. Really enjoying Stick in the Wheel's version - rough and rowdy and honest - they're making some fine records, I think.

I've been persuaded by Mark Coles championing of Cameroonian Blick Bassy's 'Akö'. BB has dedicated it to his musical hero Skip James. Some great tunes and a fine voice.

Interesting. I do have an occasional listen to Mark Coles. He is a good radio man. I am not sure how people in his position make money exactly. Guess it is a labour of love?

Totall agreey JC re Blick Bassy & MC ; I'm also a fan of MC's Shed programme. Intriguingly MC pops up wearing other hats on the BBC. Here he is profiling a controversial Australian mining magnate

Who knew?

I still think should R3 should give him a wee stint on Wo3, Global - shake things up a bit, and he's obviously on the Beeb's books so no major paperwork issues. Wonder if his love of Cambodian pop would get in the way!

Ooops! seem to have temporarily entered a time loop there!

That's a great track - many thanks for it.

Someone called Robin has just alerted me to the news that Rab Noakes has a new one in the shops. So too has Neil Macfadyen. Yes. This features songs from Gerry Rafferty, Mick Marra and in tribute to hero Alan "Your Clear White Light". He's not well but, as muddly Lindisfarne devotees may muse, he has a glorious wireless aerial sticking out of his head:
