ok i havnt heard either but i would say joan of arc. this is pretty useless advice but its advice non the less.

I won't make any more nasty comments about Tony Conrad. But I will ask if anyone has heard his collaboration CD with Charlemagne Palestine. To the extent that I can find TC interesting, that sounds interesting.


EDIT - I found a clip on a website whose name I can't spell. Charlemagne Palestine's contribution is beautiful, but Tony Conrad then goes and spoils it by scraping his violin all over it. I'm sorry, I know that's probably sacrilege, but that's how I feel about Tony Conrad.

I'd say go for 'Joan Of Arc' first and 'Four Violins' after.Both great records
but as you are a fan of NNCK,Corsano etc,i think it is a good way to start with the former and find a way of contextualizing this sort of 'outer limits' type of music.I'm not saying that all these musicians sound the same or particularly similar but there is some sort of lineage there,somewhere.I have to get around to upload or post the link for Walter De Maria's 'Cricket Music' because it is one hallucinatory beast of a record(that i'll never be able to find,methinks).
