    RECORD DREAMS 50 Hallucinations and Visions of Rare and Strange Vinyl Vinyl, to: vb. A neologism that describes the process of immersing yourself in an antique playback format, often to the point of obsession - i.e. I’m going to vinyl at Utrecht, I may be gone a long time. Or: I vinyled so hard that my bank balance has gone up the wazoo. The end result of vinyling is a record collection, which is defned as a bad idea (hoarding, duplicating, upgrading) often turned into a good idea (a saleable archive). If you’re reading this, you’ve gone down the rabbit hole like the rest of us. What is record collecting? Is it a doomed yet psychologically powerful wish to recapture that frst thrill of adolescent recognition or is it a quite understandable impulse to preserve and enjoy totemic artefacts from the frst - perhaps the only - great age of a truly mass art form, a mass youth culture? Fingering a particularly juicy 45 by the Stooges, Sweet or Sylvester, you could be forgiven for answering: fuck it, let’s boogie! But, you know, you’re here and so are we so, to quote Double Dee and Steinski, what does it all mean? Are you looking for - to take a few possibles - Kate Bush picture discs, early 80s Japanese synth on the Vanity label, European Led Zeppelin 45’s (because of course they did not deign to release singles in the UK), or vastly overpriced and not so good druggy LPs from the psychedelic fatso’s stall (Rainbow Ffolly, we salute you)? Or are you just drifting, browsing, going where the mood and the vinyl takes you? That’s where Utrecht scores.

  • HUMANISM and the TRADITION of DISSENT Edward L
    Humanism Today, HUMANISM AND THE TRADITION OF DISSENT Edward L. Ericson James Madison described custom as "second nature." making his observation in the context of expressing skepticism of the social engineering being attempted by the reformer, Robert Owen. Such dreamers presumed to be "first nature." Madison's lack of illusion about the easy malleability of human character in a living society has gained impressive justification in the failure of every attempt since his time to redesign "the new man" of revolutionary vision. If it is difficult for psychotherapy to alter the deeply ingrained character traits of a maturing individual, it can hardly be simpler to command the radical transformation in mass of human traits formed over time within a deeply rooted and dynamic historical community. This fact was understood at least as early as the tradition that denied to Moses and his generation admission into the promised land. Indeed, the Biblical writers - or rather the immemorial storytellers from whom they derived their lore - were wildly romantic to suppose that a mere forty years of desert wandering - the passing of but a single generation - would suffice to effect the transformation that their legend sought to explain. Forty generations, rather than forty summers, might be a more insightful rendering of the tale. At least when we come nearer to our own time we can say with considerable confidence that the cluster of cultural traits that produced and still supports the Bill of Rights and the tradition of liberty of conscience as we know it has involved some forty generations in the English speaking world - even without considering any of that culture's near relatives and antecedents in Western civilization.

  • Translated Excerpt
    Translated excerpt Gero von Randow Wenn das Volk sich erhebt. Schönheit und Schrecken der Revolution Kiepenheuer & Witsch Verlag, Köln 2017 ISBN 978-3-462-04876-6 pp. 9-13 & 34-45 & 56-62 Gero von Randow When the People Rise. The Allure and Atrocity of Revolution Translated by John Reddick © 2017 Kiepenheuer & Witsch Verlag FOREWORD The October Revolution in Russia occurred in 1917, exactly one hundred years ago. Revolution! Such a powerful word. And one that has lost none of its magnetic appeal. It remains amongst the most commonly cited concepts in politics. In the summer of 2016 it was even chosen in all seriousness as his rallying cry by an American presidential candidate, 75-year-old US Senator Bernie Sanders, cheered on by his avid young supporters. Unlike words such as ‘Kaiser’ or ‘proletariat’, the word ‘revolution’ points not only to the past, but also to the future – to uncertain and perhaps turbulent times that still lie ahead. Is this optimism or pessimism? It is realism. Revolution has been declared dead so often that we can confidently expect it to keep on recurring. Revolutions are mighty events. Huge masses of people stream through the streets, fill public squares, storm buildings, bring down their rulers, make history. This does not amount to a definition, it is simply a description – but one that identifies a key trait of revolutions: they are events based on passion (which is why this book, too, is driven by passion). The revolutionary masses feel both love and hatred at the same time. And the greater the resistance to their revolution, the more intense the love and the hatred become.

  • SOS [John Surman, Mike Osborne, Alan Skidmore] Title: LOOKING for the NEXT ONE (Cuneiform Rune 360/361) Format: Cdx2 / DIGITAL
    Bio information: SOS [John Surman, Mike Osborne, Alan Skidmore] Title: LOOKING FOR THE NEXT ONE (Cuneiform Rune 360/361) Format: CDx2 / DIGITAL Cuneiform promotion dept: (301) 589-8894 / fax (301) 589-1819 email: joyce [-at-] cuneiformrecords.com (Press & world radio); radio [-at-] cuneiformrecords.com (North American & world radio) www.cuneiformrecords.com FILE UNDER: JAZZ In 1974, three poll-winning British saxophonists joined forces around a radical concept: Dispense with a bass player and a drummer and go it alone. The result was SOS, the trio of John Surman, Mike Osborne and Alan Skidmore, saxophonists who led or played on many of the groundbreaking British jazz recordings of the late 1960s and ‘70s. Although SOS lasted less than three years, they paved the way for World Saxophone Quartet, Rova and other all-sax bands. During their brief existence, SOS recorded only one LP – a self-titled studio album for the legendary Ogun label – that has been frequently cited by critics and historians for almost 40 years as a landmark recording in British jazz history. Undoubtedly, Cuneiform’s release of Looking For The Next One, a 2-CD compilation of studio sessions and live recordings, will not only rekindle discussions about SOS’s innovative music among connoisseurs, but introduce their exciting, virtuosic music to a new generation of listeners. The inclusion of the entirety of their legendary July 1974 Balver Höhle Jazz Festival concert is a game- changer, as it reveals SOS’s penchant for connecting multiple compositions with open improvisations, an approach they did not employ on the Ogun album. The concert also documents how Surman seamlessly integrated keyboards and synthesizers – instruments that were overdubbed for SOS – into a performance, and gives more space to Skidmore’s energetic drumming than on the Ogun album.
