Thanks Fergus. It's actually the 'easiest' listen on the whole album and not one I would have chosen myself. Naturally ;)fergus wrote:That was a pleasant listen Dermot.

Re: Alternative Editions of Contemporary Music.
This is great!
DESCRIPTION
This is the 10th anniversary double L.P. edition of the 2005 album previously only available digitally (CD and Download).
The fourth side of this record contains the 23 minute track ‘Sensory’ which is an unreleased track from the same recording sessions as ‘Mother Goose’s Melody’.
The album has been remastered for vinyl and has new artwork.
Released in an edition of 160 copies.
The Wire:
"The latest project from the fabulous Andrew Liles is dedicated to the notion that nothing good ever happens in a nursery rhyme, even when enunciated with such gleeful relish by guest narrator Alexander Thynn, the seventh Marquess of Bath. Scratching kittens have to be placated, half-awake children are left to wander around the town at night, and we all know about the girl with the curl in the middle of her forehead. Aided in a couple of places by Sion Orgon from Thighpaulsandra’s group, Liles takes his time over teasing out the darker strands to be found woven into childhood’s brighter moments, carefully stacking eerily sustained tones, desiccated samples and disembodied voices against Lord Bath’s exuberant delivery. The results feel like a compendium of forgotten folklore awaiting its future."

Sounds of Insects
Racker & Orphan
10" housed in reverse board sleeve with protective bag
45rpm
In one form or another all insects produce sound. Many of these are audible to the human ear whilst others go unheard by us without the aid of specialist audio equipment. Most produce sounds when they are agitated, when they are eating, or to serve a specific purpose, such as scaring off predators or attracting a mate. Still others are the result of activities in which sound is simply a by-product of motion, such as the buzzing bee. It's believed that insects were the earliest organisms to produce and sense sounds.
And they're all around us. They nestle in our ears, they gnaw at our brains. They flit past us when our minds are elsewhere, making us jump out of our skin. They buzz, they click, they snicker and sidle. They give us pause, these beings whose thought patterns seem so removed from our own. Are they capable of emotion? Do they feel remorse or experience joy? And what- if anything- do they want from us? How can we best understand them?
Here N.Racker and David Orphan call into question the value of human modes of communication, taking due care to unravel the inmost workings of the arthropod mind. Acousmatics and microtonality form a mysterious synthesis of specialised field recording and sympathetic reassembling, making it uncertain where one sound source ends and another begins. Paying direct homage to the scholastic Folkways 'Sounds Of Insects' recordings by Albro T. Gaul and informed by viewing countless nature documentaries, this artifact attempts to form an entomological soundscape of wonder and intrigue, a minutiae of alien environments and meetings.
"Sounds of Insects" will be released on May 25th and will be available in record shops in the UK and worldwide.

Re: Alternative Editions of Contemporary Music.
Boomkat:
For the past decade or so, Polish musician Michal Jacaszek has been exploring a new, resolutely modern chapter in Eastern Europe’s long, storied love affair with classical music. His creations are painstakingly crafted collages of electronic textures and baroque instrumentation, harpsichords being swarmed by woolly static one minute and pulled apart by billowing wind the next. A push-and-pull tension runs deep and constant throughout. Ambient music is rarely so sonically challenging. Jacaszek has recorded for Ghostly International, Miasmah, Gusstaff Records and Experimedia and other labels. This is his first release for Touch. Michał Jacaszek writes: "When poets and writers declare their enchantment for the forms of nature, they often use musical terms as methaphors. Visual artists' creations often resemble graphic partitas, when recapturing the rhythms of landscapes.Confirming, in a way, these musical intuitions, composers write great music deeply inspired by birdsongs, wind rustlings, waves repetitions etc. Making "Cataloguge des Arbres”, my ambition was to join this broad artistic movement devoted to natural phenomena and find my own way to describe trees: their forms, atmosphere and mystery. I have started with "open air" recordings, capturing mainly leaves'' rustlings - from different distances, in different locations and weather conditions. This collection of nature recordings was transformed into a kind of "organic drone" and becomes a main background for instrumental and voice improvisations. My initial inspiration here was Olivier Messiaen's' bird songs transcriptions for piano – the composer's work title "Catalogue d'Oiseaux" I have paraphrased on my album . A piano, clarinets, violin and percussion parts, performed by the Kwartludium ensemble, were electronically processed, and afterwards all this electro-acoustic material was turned into a collection of 8 soundscapes - forgotten songs performed secretly by my beloved trees."
