This record left our Mingus feeling ecstatic.
On to the other stuff I have to put my lug holes through. David Watson: "Throats" which features Shelley Hirsch & Makigami Koichi on Thurston Moore's Ecstatic Peace!.This is a collection of pieces for bagpipes, vocals & jaw harp. So, if the pipes do it for you and you're down with the avant-garde/experimental approach taken to this most traditional instruments then look no further. Ant says it reminded him of a KKNull set, Mr Phil prefers the bagpipes to the saxaphone. Personally I like the sustained tones. Not sure about the Diamanda Galas styled warblings and the semi gurgling emitting from the vocalists, but, if you're strong willed and open minded enough to appreciate Tuvan throat songs then step right up
