Cool Tuneage

U.S. Steel Cello Ensemble: Bitter Suites (1979) Robert Rutman is the ringleader of these guys. It's a bunch of people playing large sheets of metal. It is absolutely beautiful!! If you're interested check out Mutant Sounds for more description...and a download link.
Allow it to take you on a trip
through metallic skies.
Great stuff!!!

Golden Dawn: Power Plant (1967) great rockin' Texan band in a similar vein to Roky Erikson's 13th Floor Elevators. Well worth checking out for you psychheads. These guys actually have a second album in the can, waiting for release!!! 40 years later and all new stuff!! And it sounds excellent! Golden Dawn on My Space.

Art Ensemble of Chicago: The Meeting (2003) This latter day AEC album is fantastic, and has all the elements of classic AEC! ****1/2 easy...Who'd have thought it, especially after Lester Bowie's death? Art Ensemble of Chicago official web site.
