Over the course of the first three tracks the music gradually builds down its tone, as if it was gracefully descending into the depths of the ocean, the darkness absorbing the last remaining rays of light and colour being transformed into pitch-blackness. It makes for a careful yet necessary initiation of what comes next.

I remember making a mental note a while ago about two releases dealing with the Titanic and other disasters. I think one of them was the one you mentioned here and the other one was a pre-war American roots collection on Tompkins Square. Thanks for recommending it again to me, I'll certainly have a look over at Boomkat. Really great resource btw, I love that website! I understand what you're saying about ECM, it's quite daunting to pick something from their huge collection. Where to begin? Pretty much everything they release seems at least interesting. But they also all look alike, haha. I haven't found a good resource either for picking the essential releases from their huge collection. I'm just going by individual recommendations. @ Dok: Thanks for that link! What a wonderful idea, nice substitute for those (i.e. pretty much everyone) who can't make it to the cistern. :) @ Station Rites: Yeah, I think I’ve read about that Titanic release once.

People can upload sound files, and then play them back. Fairly lo-fi last time I checked, but the acoustics are fantastic. If you can cope with the 30 second delay, it's a great online performance venue, especially for collaborations. Have you heard the Silophone?

You've been very helpful bringing some excellent ECM New Series records to my attention, now I've got to add some more to the order I'm already making (Giger, Kancheli etc). Especially useful seeing as how everything released on that label looks amazing but I can't find a resource that points me to 'classics' or an image as to the feel of each album. I'm having similar issues with Touch records, although at least they have digital downloads on boomkat.com so it's not so expensive to make 'mistakes' (i.e albums that I end up listening to very infrequently). A recent excellent release on Touch which fits the theme at least is Philip Jeck's recent recording of 'The Sinking of the Titanic', a piece composed in 1969, invoking the spirit of the on-ship band as they continued playing as the Titanic sank, the ocean subsuming and adding to the sound. A lot of it can be sampled before purchase at boomkat.com if you're interested. Anyway, point: Looking forward to the next installments :) Really fantastic music.

Bet you will too: The Click Clique. Quarterlife, is the bi-weekly online series from Marshall Herskovitz and Edward Zwick, the creative team behind "My So-Called Life", "Thirtysomething", and "Blood Diamond". It is the first time a network-quality series has been produced directly for the Internet. NBC will premiere Quarterlife as an hour-long drama series in mid-season after it concludes its run on the Internet early in 2008, marking the first time a web series has been aired by a major network. Quarterlife.com reaches beyond the series to serve as a social network and outlet for creative individuals. "Twit Twit" is an amusing animated short by Jerome Houlier.

The sound is not complete. Jimmy Smith is the other one. Btw, is all Harold Budd music that 'wet'? heh...I only have several of his tracks.
