I just received and listened to Polwechsel/Fennesz, 'Wrapped Islands'. Stunning!
I can hear where David got his inspiration for Manafon from - it's almost like a 'the sessions' for parts of that album. Also, I can hear bits that remind me of Plight & Premonition. Highly recommended and it would be in my top ten for this year, but it was released in 2002, so I can't put it in there.
Time to go home and listen to the 4 Erstwhile discs from 2009 that came at the same time. Bit of a Keith Rowe fest (the 3 latest Erstlive discs, which are him solo on one disc, and with Taku Unami on another and with Toshimaru Nakamura on the third; and his latest solo studio album The Room). Go to the site, listen to snippets, order, and enjoy!
The latest Norah Jones album can wait...
