Diamanda Galás - Faust. Eros. Tod (1982/1988)
Hello Again,
Moved by the astonishing example set by Mutant Sounds (and that of the many other admirable shareblogs), I've decided to post a handful of rarities myself. Interested parties should find these to be sufficiently difficult to obtain.
Please note the word "handful" - maybe 50, tops. We all have other things to do.
Some, as with this first post, have been ripped from albums I own. A large chunk of the series will be comprised of recordings I copied from Rudolf Eb.er's personal archive while rehearsing with OHNE in Aarau, Switzerland in 2002.
(I make no bones of it; Mr. Eb.er's aesthetic judgments have proven exquisite time and again. Bravo, sir!)
There'll be no schedule. I'll upload when I've extra time.
Rapidshare only - no bitching, please. If you find these to your liking, make copies for your friends. Or, find a way to have them legitimately issued, re-released, banned, etc. Just get off your arse and make something happen.

No need to pontificate - it's essential, it's yours. Take and eat.

No, j/k. ;)
I definitely believe that of all the arts, music is necessarily communal. Preserving an artifact is one thing, but hoarding impossible-to-find releases that others would doubtless enjoy listening to is a damnable sin. Just doing my very small part. Jim at Mutant Sounds is the once-and-future-king, of course. His/their output has been phenomenal.
Hope you'll continue to enjoy these and our TLASILA-related offerings.
Best,
Tom
Chocolate Monk was/is sublime. Dylan, Dora, Karen... Truly beautiful people.
Galas has few peers. Brilliant in almost every way. (I hated the John Paul Jones collab, however. Too rock-tinged for my liking, although I'm certain they both had a blast making it, etc.)
Best,
