"Australia: Sound of the Earth."  I'm not sure I would call it a Steve
Roach album.  If I found Roach's pieces on the album to be ambient to

I agree.  Hudson is the major contributor, even though he gets second billing  
to Steve.  Sarah Hopkins even makes a more interesting and unique contribution  
to the work than Steve does.

While I like what Steve has done on "Australia...", it is very minimal, and I  
would never have noticed him if he always played in this style.  It seems like  
there is only one note on those pieces you referred to, but "Dreamtime Return"  
is much more than ambient synthesizers.  Steve plays a lot of percussion and  
percussive sounds, and there is a lot more variety.

Hudson does not make any compositional contributions to "Dreamtime Return" as  
he does on "Australia..." and his musical contributions are not as prevalent.

I really don't think you would find "Dreamtime Return" to be boring, but that  
is just my opinion (obviously).

I have only been reading posts in this newsgroup for about a month.  So far I
have enjoyed what I have read.  One thing I have noticed though, is that this
group gets emptied/purged(?) very regularly.  Why does this happen so
frequently?  To me it seems to inhibit extended dialogs, and consequently
contributions...

Thank you.

A while ago, after much hunting, i acquired the soundtrack for the

Indonesian precussion ensemble. I have yet to join mailing lists or
unarchive from ftp sites. (this path seemed like many days' work,
for me, that is :-) Is there a source for this type of music anyone
can call of his/her head? alternate paths of exploration?
  btw, this particular sample sounds like Gamelan, but with 
fewer intruments playing independent pieces (but in rhythm, of
course!).

One CD I'm always recommending to people (and have NOT yet found anyone 
who doesn't like it, despite deliberalte attempts to do so) is 
Haruomi Hosono's: Music From the Tale of Genji. Hosono has been a member
of Japanese Pop/Rock/Synth bands such as Happy End and The Yellow Magic
Orchestra (w/ Ryuichi Sakamoto).

This CD is NOT rhythmic or melodic (tho' many traditional Korean folk melodies
are worked in), it is AMBIENT. Hosono often lists Eno as one of his main
influences. Instrumentation is a mixture of synth (low key) with Korean
instruments such as kaya-gum (sp?) taking the forefront. It sounds like
Eno's more ambient stuff, but with a lot of Oriental influence.

Hard to get hold of in the West though,

My exotic-music experience of the week:

First I attended the Navratri festivities at the old Sam Houston
Convention Center in downtown Houston.  Picture a big concrete box of a
hall with stadium seating, suitable for depression-era prizefights.  Add
a couple of thousand Indians, mostly women decked out in saris of every
hue imaginable as long as it's bright, swirling around in chaotic
fractal whirlpools of colliding circle dances.  In the center is a
stage on which sits a howling arrangement of bad synthesizer, two sets
of western drums being banged on by people who don't have a clue what
they're doing, and a shifting chorus of Indian vocalists only some of
whom are in tune.  All cranked up to max out the sound system, of
course.  It was a feast for the eyes, but torture for the ears, and not
just to my gringo/bhuriyo musical sensibilities: my Gujarati wife and
her family were more offended by the "music" than I was.  Nowhere were
the sweet Indian hand drums, subtle vocal stylistics or lovely flute of
the Indian folk tradition.

Then said Gujarati wife and I escaped to an Oktoberfest bash in
progress at a suburban hotel.  There Brave Combo, that amazing nuclear
polka band from Denton, Texas, was leading the revelry with their usual
tasty mix of polkas, cumbias, schottisches, cha-cha-chas, twists,
waltzes, dirty blues numbers, jazz excursions, and even a two-step or
two.  My wife has long noted that a certain lively polka beat exactly
matches a good Gujarati garba, and she got to prove it, circling the
dance floor in her sari.   She had almost as many eyes on her as on the
skimpily armor-plated Schnappsmaedchen selling plastic souvenir shot
glasses of pseudoGerman firewater.

Bubba Hernandez asked Pauravi for a tape of garba music after the
show.  We're convinced that Carl on accordeon (a livelier substitute
for harmonium), Jeffrey on flute, the two new percussionists faking a
tabla beat, and Bubba laying down the bottom will make the hottest
garba group this side of Ahmedabad.  The hard part will be the vocals.
Watch for it in the Navratri/Octoberfest season '93.

Occasionally they goof.  A couple of weeks ago, there were a few pleasant
seconds when Mary Woronov's shapely backside graced viewers of USA in
"Eating Raoul".  Unfortunately, someone must have rudely interrupted the
technician's slumber because it got filtered after a few seconds.
I feel especially honored to have been present for this historic moment
as I was just channel flipping at the time.  I normally avoid USA
because they generally cut a film to shreds.

They've written a script with Sam Raimi (Darkman, Evil Dead I-III)
called "The Hudsucker Proxy", to be directed by the Coens. It's
supposed to be a sort of business fairytale set in the 50's...

It may be produced by Joel Silver, who produced Die Hard I-II and
Lethal Weapon I-III. Apparently, the Coen brothers approached him
because they wanted a larger audience.

All this according to a recent issue of Empire Magazine.

I saw the comic which said that the Alien vs Predator movie has been given

the go ahead and they are now looking for a suitable script. Also Walter Hill
(48 Hours, Extreme Predjudice director) is making plans for Alien 4. I too 

was extremely disappointed with Alien 3 but did you notice the loose ends?

During the Title sequence and Credits there was an Alien on board the ship,
the pod was jettisoned and I'm sure the Alien got left behind because
the one on the planet came from inside the dog, ie it was from a parasite!

The problem with Alien 3 was that unlike Aliens, the characters weren't
developed enough and no one seemed to have personality and they all looked
alike, so when someone got wasted it didn't upset you like Aliens. Plus 
everything just happened too bloody fast, there was no sequence to the plot.

As a visual film it was stunning with the good use of the wide-angle perspective
of the Alien, but we saw too much of the Alien to be scared of it.

Anyway I hope the Alien series goes on.

Laters!

Exactly.  Hardware was set up to be a great film, but ended up as a
series of missed opportunities.  The setting (world) was great, but
the movie got locked in an appartment.  With the exception of the insane
DJ (I see the FCC got slack in it's old age) the entire world is wasted.
And then there is the gratuitous fractal usage is the suicide scene.  Where
the hell did that come from?

Hardware was a lot of pretentious nothing.  I know that some of you out
there found it deeply meaningful.  You probably loved The Doors also.
In fact Hardware could have come from Oliver Stone and a Terminator
script.  You still have the Terminator idea and high tech, but it's
watered down with attempts at deep meaning and spirituality and then
shot through an orange filter.

Well, this movie definitely does NOT deserve cult classic status.  I
watched it last night, and was thoroughly disappointed.  There is only 1
real fight scene, which lasts all of 3 minutes.  The rest of the movie
is toxie being moody and stupid.  Phoebe Legere does her part to make
things interesting, but they let her show us even less than in TA2. 
Overall, I was completely disgusted with Troma on this one.  Especially
considering how much fun TA and TA2 were.  Anyone else feel this way?

I wasn't. Bruce Campbell and Sam Raimi are very close friends. I thought
"Darkman" was fantastic! I was much more shocked when I watched "Maniac 
Cop" <a creation of Bill Lustig, with some input from Larry Cohen>, and saw
that they used a very similar idea. Not only that, but "MC" was first, and
Bruce Campbell was in it!!! "DArkman" was FAR superior, IMHO, but the
parallel was interesting.
