Hi Mike---So far I have heard none of P"art's instrumental music, so I shall follow your advice and look fot SUMMA. I've seen it. If it's on I TUNES I shall download it this evening.. The choral stuff took me completely by surprise. I am a music lover who knows nothing about theory and very little about musicology. but when I first heard the gorgeous vocal works of P"art the sound struck me as something quite new. I was dflighted and amazed, since I had thought of him (I don't know why) as some merely commercial, new age chillout music person. I could not have been more wrong. The stuff is great, so thanks for the reference.

Thanks Mike. I downloaded an album of Pärt's music, played by the Estonian something Orchestra. SUMMA is on it.

Two nights ago I listened to Pärt's 3rd Symphony. It's wonderful.

Sunday at Devil Dirt - Isobel Campbell & Mark Lanegan.
Wonderful stuff. Really well-crafted songs, sort of Nick Cave meets Nick Drake, with Lanegan's rich, gravelly voice perfectly complementing Campbell's ethereal backing vocals. Lovely instrumental arrangements too.
And now I must download their first collaboration, 'Ballad of the Broken Seas'...

Julian Cope - Black Sheep.
A little more 'tuneful' than recent efforts, although he still has a tendancy to wig-out both musically and verbally.

Tempting, but JC's thrash/shaman/stripped-down stuff has over the last few years really disagreed with me. Pity, 'cos he's a brilliant tunesmith. Maybe I should check this one out...
np, Rush, Hemispheres
Rush In Rio

I recently downloaded a compilation of his earlier stuff called 'Floored Genius', with tracks ranging from 'Passionate Friend' to 'World Shut Your Mouth' etc. Certainly some good things there.

Blimey, Shonen Knife! Saw them at Reading in 92, I think. John Peel's pet band at the time, if memory serves.
