Maybe it is about puppies and going to a ballet recital.

No, Lemon Incest's lyrics are not really about puppies and ballet recitals. They will disturb you as the video does, if not more.

Iggy Pop - Preliminaires

Man, I always thought it would be hard to find a bigger "solo" Iggy Pop fan than me, but damn, I have a hard time listening to Preliminaires.... It's almost painful for me.

 

[bogdan]

I know what you mean, it's different than what you would normally expect from Iggy Pop, so that's why it may be disappointing to loyal fans. I'm not one of them, so maybe that's why I liked it so much. I think the whole vibe of the album, its jazzy feel, suits him perfectly. And me too. Iggy said somewhere that this book was the inspiration of the album. I just bought the Romanian translation, but didn't get to read it yet. Maybe it holds some answers about the way this album was conceived.

 

[nervas]

Yeh, I bought it because I buy everything Iggy does...But after about 4 listens I just put it away. Then I tried again 2months later and felt the same way about it. Don't know if I'll give it another chance, I'm sure I will at some point.

I was cleaning up some cds that were scattered all over the house, and I found some I forgot about that may have made a difference on my list:



St. Vincent - Actor

if you asked me to listen to this cd by a singer who plays violin, whistles and has a song called Nomenclature, I would've asked you to kindly fuck off and get your hands off my penis. but god help me, I like this cd.

Morton Feldman - For Samuel Beckett - Ensemble Modern
John Cage - Imaginary Landscapes - Maelstrom Ensemble
Iannis Xenakis - Music for Strings - Ensemble Resonanz
Giacinto Scelsi - Natura Renovatur - Münchener Kammerorchester
Keith Jarrett - Testament

Not ten and some released prior to '09, but that's when I bought them and that's all I care about.

I just discovered NACAO ZUMBI and would probably add anything they've recorded to my list if I had already heard their whole material. Check:
