Have you heard the news that Les Baxter is solely responsible for the soundtrack to heaven?. This will be played by little fairies during your teleportation. But first you have to eat your greens and be a good boy!

Always late to write about the stuff that’s snowballing in our mailbox. Not much to write home about but managed to find some that’s worth your attention hopefully. Get in for Stonephace, Beware of Safety, Dejnarowicz and The Frost Heaves.

After going back to this song for three times during the day it became pretty obvious that the elegiac quality of Jóhannsson’s Chimaerica befits today’s gray weather and our loss in the Turkish FA Cup better than any other song. Off his fantastic Fordlândia album that has been mentioned before on undomondo.

A new discovery on my part, Raymond Scott is a composer, orchestra leader, pianist, engineer, recording studio maverick, and an electronic instrument inventor. I first heard him in J Dilla’s Donuts with the track “Lightworks” and the cartoony playfulness of early electronics instantly called upon me to seek for more.

Cécile Schott the Parisian native instrumentalist whom I always thought “Colleen” was her real name, is back with a new album on her home Leaf. Yesteryear’s “Colleen et les boîtes à musique” could be labeled a concept album that satisfied her javanese love with a musical box, which was still good but not as engaging as her previous stuff.

Woohoo a new Matthew Herbert album! “Score” is a compilation of his film scores (Vida Y Color, Manolete, La Confiance Regne, The Intended, the short films Indiscretion and Nicotine), a musical (Le Defi), and one ballet (Set Boundaries). Sadly I haven’t watched any of these films, hell I didn’t even know he was composing soundtracks at all.

Ustad Zorn has done it again, with the latest installment to his Filmworks series, for Oren Rudavsky’s new romantic comedy “The Treatment”. Ok, I know you’re going “romantic comedy?!?!?”, well yeah it sounds strange yes, but Oren Rudavsky is a Jewish filmmaker…
