What Do I Know? I Just Make Pizza Pies

I made pizza pies once. Those days are gone. I like music, though.

Album Reviews #20 - Laughing Stock by Talk Talk

Don't you feel like you are always screaming inside? Personally, I always feel like I'm yelling, my whole being, my core, is always burning away. We are always in this state of constant fall, of constant explosion, and when we look at the world around us, it can be so bedazzling how people can move with such serenity, such evenness, to make sense of words. We try to move with steadiness, but below all the external calm, all the clockwork movements, there is always this chaos inside, a chaos that could be so quiet or so imperceptible, but it is always burning inside of us, always at full blast. This, my friend, is exactly the kind of feeling that 'Laughing Stock' depicts—all the hidden chaos beneath the steady movement of life.

While Spirit of Eden was an exercise in the quiet apparitions of vigor, 'Laughing Stock' is an exercise in gloom and sorrow. These two albums combined form the two sides of a whole. Talk Talk's music can create such chaos while still being so unbelievably discreet. If someone recommends you these albums for a quiet, rainy day, don't trust them, don't trust them and run away! There is a disarray hidden between its apparent composure, and it's just so amazing, so amazing. There is so much hidden within those apparently soothing melodies and lulling rhythms. Very few times will you hear noise take over the lead of a song, but between all the sounds and guest instruments, this whole piece creates such wild dynamics that at times might feel like momentary wildfires in the most serene of forests. Not because the pond has no current at its surface, does it mean it doesn't contain a whole life of fishes swimming wildly below it. The most fervent moments of the music can be incredibly shattering force and, when it soothes out, you feel pure repose in the center of chaos, as if finding a steady rock in the middle of a turbulent river. With such disarray hidden between the little details and harmonies, you feel like you can hear ants yell to the sky, and what do you know, humans in the whole scale of the cosmos, are not that different from ants.

DINO SALUZZI, ANJA LECHNER / Ojos Negros

DIno Saluzzi (bandneon)と、女性チェロ奏者Anja LechnerがECMに残したデュオ・アルバム。タイトル曲"Ojos Negros"以外はすべてDino Saluzziの曲。TangoとClassicと、そしてECMならではの空気を孕んだ、２人による静謐な会話は、親密でありまた緊密で、ドラマチックでもある。半覚醒の中でまどろむ様な、内省的なベクトルを持った審美的なアルバム。
