Many moons ago, I made a pact with a friend that if Jean Michel Jarre,
Klaus Schulze or Tangerine Dream set foot in North America, we'd go and
see them. So I went to the Houston concert. It was the best musical spectacle
I'd ever seen.

Although JMJ can do some self-righteous stuff, the visual effects
of his city concerts are something to behold.

Numena was released on vinyl on Multimood (Sweden) in 1986, and finally on CD
a couple of years ago on (I believe) a French label. If you're familiar  
with Robert Rich's Hearts of Space releases, you might compare Numena to the
less rhythmic, deep-space, trancy, drone pieces on Rainforest, Gaudi, 
and on his collaborations with Steve Roach (Strata & Soma). 
If these works interest you, 
you might also look into his earlier works (tape only, I believe) like
Trances, Drones, Inner Landscapes, Live, and Sunyata. If you like his more
active pieces, look for Geometry, which is available on CD as an import.
 
I recently had a good listen to Soma and I think it's his & Steve Roach's
best work yet. Not to be missed.

Jeff's first release was Cities in Fog, in the mid 80's, I think 1985
or so. It's not far from Changing skies but it's less rhythmic and
sample oriented. It was released on his own label Intrepid and 
on lp only, and was until recently his only US release. 

Next was two lps on Dossier, a german label.  Places of Motility 
was in 1986 and Timbral Planes in 1987. I think by Timbral Planes
he had started getting a little more focused on sampled rhythms
and ethnic influences, and in 1988 or so he went to Bali and Java
for a few months to explore and do field recordings there. 

I may be overlooking a release between Timbral Planes and Changing
Skies... There's one from around the time of Changing Skies thats
on EAR-RATIONAL, with music by three artists - Greinke, J.A.Deane
and Art Zoyd. 

There's a brand new release on Silent records that I think can
be ordered via some folks online. I think this is a US release and if 
so it's his first in years. Jeff lives in Seattle and occasionally
performs there and in San Francisco. He used to be a dj of progressive
and electronic and ethnic radio shows before he got into music and
performance. 

There's one other cd release on EAR-RATIONAL - Jeff Greinke and Rob 
Angus - Crossing Ngoli. They used to share a house and studio and
performed together in various ensembles. This release strikes me 
as a little more noisy and grating, but in a nice way. There's 
more agressive playing and percussion pulse to it. 

Also, if you like Changing Skies check out the music of Jon Hassell. 
Jeff's music to me synthesizes a lot of influneces of Eno and Hassell
but in a way that's unique and more organic. He played in San Francisco
a few months ago -0 but live he also does some pretty odd and fun
vocal improvisations and solo trombone improvs that are far from the
atmospherics of his recorded works. It's great stuff. 

I can give you a list of Hassell releases and some info on them if
you're interested.

Yep. It's a small run [maybe 2K-4K copies], EP length. Most of the material
is from the most recent CD, although the ah...logic of the system used
to produce the work seems to me to be much more obvious live than in
the studio. Also, he can stretch out a bit. I've heard [but don't own]
a tape of a showcase gig he did in L.A. when he was still trying to
flog the then-completed Cobalt Blue tapes, and this performance seems
to me in retrospect to be far more focused [of course, when memory is
the counterweight, you may not trust the scales]. The American Virgin
person I know says there are no plans to release it domestically. Like
any good live recording, it leaves me hungry to hear more. Having lived
with his recent production job with the band Balloon [which was ah...
okay, but not nearly on the level of the work he did on Pieter Nooten's
"Sleeps with the Fishes"], I was starting to wonder if it was slump
time. No chance. Find this.

Yes, Mr Rich played me some of the tracks.  The album is called "Soma" and I
don't think it's actually available yet, but I could be mistaken.  Anyway,
it sounded great.  Very trancy yet with plenty of Bob's patented "glurp"

Hi, all.
 
For you planetarium space music fans, this is an unabashed
plug for my newest CD/cassette release, GEODESIUM "Fourth
Universe".  It's my fourth album, containing an hour of
music I've composed and recorded for various planetarium
show soundtracks I've worked on over the past few years.
Chances are good that if you've been to a planetarium,
you've heard my music.  Since 1978, nearly 600 planetaria in
the U.S. and 26 other countries have purchased music and
shows from my company, Loch Ness Productions.
 
GEODESIUM "Fourth Universe" has 18 all-original electronic
keyboard works on it.  Among the instruments I use are an
EmulatorII+HD and Roland D-50.  Some selections are
"traditional" space music -- relaxing, floating, ethereal;
some are more "new age"-style; and others are up-tempo,
rhythmic sonic odysseys. While I've not heard anyone else
whose music sounds quite like mine, if you're familiar with
Vangelis, Tangerine Dream, David Arkenstone, Yanni, Suzanne
Ciani, Jonn Serrie, Michael Stearns, Patrick O'Hearn and
such, you're familiar with the sort of music I do.
 
My last album, GEODESIUM "West of the Galaxy" was featured
on the U.S. radio shows "Music From The Hearts Of Space", 
"Music From The Global Village", "Musical Starstreams", and
"Echoes".  I hope this one gets some airplay too.
 
I'm not signed to a major record label, so retail
distribution is somewhat spotty.  I do know the album will
be carried in _Natural Wonders_ stores, and it's in
Backroads' _Heartbeats_ catalog.  And it's available direct
from the source <grin>, so if you're interested, drop me a
note in E-mail, and I'll send you all the ordering info.
 
Thanks!

Michael Harridon's album _From Ancient Worlds_ (for harmonic piano) is entirely
piano music, wherein the piano is tuned in just intonation instead of the
standard equal temperament.

I enjoy it, but then I'm on the classical side of new age.

Michael Harrison has studied with some of the leading gurus of just intonation,
including Terry Riley and Pandit Pran Nath.  

Harrison's manager is Michael Hppe, Interconnection Resources, 114 North
Detroit St., LA CA 90036.  Information on Harrison can also be obtained from
Michael Harrison c/o MELA Foundation, 275 Church St, NY NY 10013.

BTW, _In Flight_ is a collection of original piano pieces in both just and
standard tuning. 

I enjoy just intonation, although it may take a while to adjust your ears.

Hi Lisa,

Humm, a support question. Let me blow the dust off that code and see
how it works. Oh yah, OK.

In order to capture a specific bulletin each time you log into CRS,
you need to edit the "include" parameter of your bltcap.ini file. I set
it to "5" as an example of how to always receive a specific bulletin.
Just add bulletin 27 (or is it 29?) to your include statement so that it
looks like:
    include="5 27"

This will ensure that the Usenet traffic bulletin is always captured.

BTW, bltcap will only capture new bulletins since the previous time
you accessed the system (it reads your icom.cap file to get this info).
If you log in and download some files and then later log in to get
your mail, bltcap will only capture bulletins which have changed between
those two sessions.

My advice would be to run bltcap the FIRST time you log in each day.
You can download your mail packet anytime thereafter. The bulletins will
be added to it once it's downloaded.

Unless you've discovered the bug/feature of my entry in the postmail.bat
file!

Regards.

In response to the question on Tubular Bells, the Orchestral Version,
I think that on the whole it is rather surplus to requirements.  The
orchestra lumbers where the original strolls, and staggers where the
original leaps.

However!  The last six minutes of the main part of Side Two, where
Mike Oldfield guests on various guitars, playing over the top of a
gentle swaying violin background, building up to the climax, is one
of the most emotive and beautiful expressions of music I have ever
heard.  I play it and cry.  (And this from a man who now has seven
versions of Tubular Bells, at the last count ...)

As to whether the album's worth getting, well, it's going cheap in
most stores I've visited, so go for it!

Eh?  You all must be kidding me right?  You don't see anything "remotely"
likeable about Jarre's concerts?  You don't find them atmospheric?  You don't
find the effects awesome?  Funny.  I would have killed to have seen it, but
unfortunately living in Australia that's just a big dream for now.  Jarre
concerts are awesome to me becuase of the music first, the size and atmosphere
second, the effects third and finally somewhere in all that the creative
genious of the guy (I mean who else would even attempt to play a "lazer
harp" and all the other weird instruments he has).  Surely that beats the
hell out of boring top-40 band type concerts, where they come on, sing a 
few songs and leave.  Clap clap clap.  Very nice.  Next...  And he doesnte
always perfectly replicate his studio work.  Several of his pieces have been
improved a great deal during live performances.  Sheess... if you've ever
heard the Huston or Docklands concerts... or the China concerts... did't you
pick up the difference?  Hank Marvin ring a bell for example?  Besides...
what's wrong with perfect replication?  Some of the original tracks were so
good it would be rediculous to go mixing them up.  YES I am a Jarre freak!

The "infinite guitar" has onboard circuitry similar to the
Sustainiac which causes the strings to vibrate. A switch selects
between emphasizing certain harmonics. Brook developed his device
after repeated failures by the makers of the Ebow to process his
order.

The latest Eventide Harmonizer comes with 11 seconds of sampling,
expandable to 95 seconds ( we're talking serious Frippertronics here)
All H3000 series Eventides are upgradeable so its possible Brook was
using his for the looping.  H3000s have other special features, like
the string synthesizer, patch factory, vocoding, resonant filters,
etc.

Paolo

I've only been able to obtain it from European friends on a visit
