A replay of Monday's "Late Junction" show, which I was gonna skip this
week. Interesting ambient trumpet from Nils Petter Molvaer; folk
from Salsa Celtica (wellll....), Shooglenifty & June Tabor;
the Ukrainians; David Byrne, who I used to like a lot.

Trancespotting - This is a cool collection of Trance and Dance music from the
Hypnotic label. I found the set of 4 CDs for $15 at Media Play. So far, I'm
in the middle of the second CD. I'll have to find CDs of some of these
artists. I really liked what I've heard by Synaethesia.

L' Ham de Foc, "Canco de Dona i Home," which I think translates as
"Songs of women and men." Lots of yummy hurdy gurdy and bagpipe and
other interesting squeaky honky things.

The Crossing, "Standing Stones" Traditional Celtic music with some decidedly
Christian lyrics in a few tracks. Normally, I feel the majority of Christian
contemporary music sounds like annoying pop music, but this is a notable
exception to that view.

Some very nice African acoustic stuff on a BBC Radio 3 "Late Junction"
replay. Um, this is Kasse Madi Diabate, Kandia Kouyate, Bako Dagnon an
Sekouba Diabate, from an album called "Mandekalou", and before that
was Kaba Kouyate with a guitar instrumental from "Yilimato."

John Carpenter's score for "Christine"It's not as memorable a score as
"Escape From New York" or "Halloween" but still interesting to listen to. It
surprised me how many times he composed the music for his own films.

OK, I don't live *under* a rock but I live on top of one, and a
somewhat isolated one at that. But why didn't anyone tell me that
Rhino issued a double-disc version of "The Name of this Band is
Talking Heads" with bonus tracks almost a month ago?

My bad; I have had this for about a week, but haven't even taken
the cellophane off yet. I can't remember how I heard about the release;
it seems to have been done with a minimum of publicity.

Tom Waits, "Alice". Finally bought it a few weeks ago, and it's gotten a lot
of plays since then.

Afro Celt Sound System Vol. 1 - This is a great blend of African and Celtic
music. I wasn't sure if it would work, but mixes very well.

A replay of last Thursday's Late Junction from BBC Radio 3, with
heavy folk music content in two of the three shows from that week.
For my tastes, host Fiona Talkington has been on a roll for her
two week term. (Fiona alternates with Verity Sharp every two
weeks, and I usually find myself preferring Fiona's shows.)

a CD by Sigur Ros. I have no clue what it's called. There's no information
anywhere on the CD or packaging except for the band's website.

That's probably "( )"
I quite liked "Aegaetis Byrjun" (which I probably mangled, even without
considering the character set restrictions..)

Ah,thanks Mike. That explains the "( )" on the slipcase for the CD. It didn't
occur to me that it could be the title.
Currently, I'm listening to Chateau Neuf "Stolen Goods" It's a good CD by a
Norwegian traditional folk big band.
