They have just recently released their first full length CD. This gig was a bit of a coming out party for that CD release. They performed many pieces from the CD. Their eponymous release is a brilliant offering from this gifted set of musicians. They are fronted by the incredibly talented multi-instrumentalist (violin, Celtic harp, mandolin), Aryeh Frankfurter, and our fellow Ectophile, singer and lyricist Cyoakha (also well known here on Ecto for her beautiful work with the equally amazing Land of the Blind). Cyoakha's stage presence was mesmerizing. She went from dreamy subtlety to passionate wailing. The highlight of the evening for me was the band's inspired and spirited rendition of "Zaman". Cyoakha was at her powerful and passionate best on this song. Aryeh and Kevin (Azigza's outstanding guitarist) were on fire as they traded solos over the pulsating rhythm section. The solos built in tension to a cacophonic crescendo with the two of them soaring out of the chaos to the other side brilliantly. Other highlights of the set were the hypnotic "Petra" and the dynamic "Touch Moon Window" and "Remember". Kudos to bassist Pierce McDowell and percussionists Stephan Junca, Pedro Rivera and Raja as well . They traversed complex odd time signatures with precision and a dramatic flair. The band went down very well with the crowd who had come predominantly to see the well known Celtic rock band, Tempest. I believe that their performance won over many in the crowd, as it appeared that they sold many CDs at the table that was set up for that purpose. The same thing happened when I saw them at the 1999 International Progressive Music Festival. They played in the lobby between sets of the headliners of the festival and took the prog crowd by surprise. They adored them and snatched up all of the EP CDs that they had to offer. I have always had a soft spot in my heart for bands that have virtuoso violinists and amazing female lead vocalists (i.e. It's a Beautiful Day, Curved Air). I love Azigza! Most of you know that I have been raving about them for a while now. Please check out the following URLs to find out more about this wonderful band: http://artists.mp3s.com/artists/13/azigza.html http://www.lionharp.com/azigza/ Peace and love!

Well, it depends on whether you consider yourself the center of universe or not. ;) A counter question would be--does your having been ripped off entitle you to rip off others? After all, the thieves didn't steal the stuff b/c they want a bunch of Masada CD's--they want to take them to ye local shady used cd store, get some cash, and the CD's are returned to the market. It wasn't the creators of the CD's fault that your stuff got stolen. If your car was stolen, would that give you the right to walk onto the lot, pick out a replacement, and drive off in it? If you've cashed your paycheck and your wallet is stole, do you have the right to go back to work and take replacement cash out of the register? And it's not like you were without alternatives to begin with--anyone with a large CD collection should have theft insurance (hell, renter's insurance with enough coverage to cover a large collection, and your stereo equipment, and computer, and the rest of the stuff in the apartment runs only $150 a year, and anyone that owns a house has insurance that would cover the cost-all you need is photographs of your collection to establish it is as large you claim, or even better a list of your collection buried in a drawer at work.) [Btw, all of the above is for shit's sake--I actually have a great deal of empathy for anyone whose collection is stolen, and would happily let someone burn copies of CD's of mine if theirs were stolen. Hell, I searched for five years for a specific recordings of Boulez' Le Marteau Sans Maitre, paid $23 bucks for the thing, and I'll be damned if I'm going to go through that again! The easy distinction between the car example and the stolen collection is that the legal principle at the basis of copyright is that by buying the CD you have not bought the work, but rather paid for a license to use a copy of that work for allowable purposes. The theft victim's arguement, then, is that they did nothing to transfer or surrender the license, and should thus continue to enjoy the license that they paid for.] Jason ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 15 Jul 2000 16:33:03 -0500 From: burp@mindspring.com (Scott Burger) Subject: Spamster/Amy Denio The Napster/MP3 debate seems like it is slowing down, but I was kind of disappointed in the few answers to my post about primacy=value. If a time/date stamp could be added permanently to MP3s, would that ultimately create a self-regulating market that could bypass the record companies but still give the artists the ability to price some of their recorded music? I am interested in hearing other people's visions of what will get us out of the current legal mess, instead of arguing about libraries, cd players, and car warranties. On a more regular note, I tried to live up to some of my own ideals by checking out Amy Denio's live show this past week. Despite the smoky, crowded bar and some of the loudmouths, I enjoyed seeing and hearing her music. I think a lot of people who are weaned on mainstream pop radio and its highly modulated sound might have trouble appreciating Denio's vocal range and ability to rock out live. Unfortunately the soundscape guy she was touring with seemed like he was having some setup problems so I did not stay for his set. I hope Richmond can give Denio a better audience and venue the next time she tours. Thanks, Scott P.O.

Here's an idea -- let's talk about music for a while! A topic that (I think it's safe to say) we all care about. Imagine that. Albums that have been living in my car changer lately: - -- Heather Eatman, _Candy And Dirt_ I saw Heather play at the Acoustic Cafe a few weeks ago, and I didn't pick this up that night because I wasn't sure if we already had it or not . Turns out we didn't, so I got it the following week. It's a great pop record, with lots of big jangly Gibson guitars and Heather's sandy voice singing her droll lyrics. And what lyrics! From "Heaven On Earth": Who knew she would come to this -- the sickness has made her forget she used to cruise St. Nicholas in a powder-blue, four-door Regret Faster and faster and faster, til all of the world was a blur Now she'll crawl to hell and back for a moment of heaven on earth She got out in '89 -- it was a miracle that she'd been spared But she fell back in zero time -- like God, that stuff's everywhere Faster and faster and faster, til all of the world is a blur And the pawn shop's hung with souls exchanged for a moment of heaven on earth - -- Merrie Amsterburg, _Little Steps_ Merrie's back (finally)! This is very much along the same lines as _Season Of Rain_, with similar instrumentation (though her first album didn't have a washing machine on it that I know of ;). Merrie's voice is an instrument in itself. Her anunciation is such that the lyrics don't matter so much becuase you can't understand them half the time anyway. The result is a very pretty album, though. It doesn't stick with me like her first one did, but it's still growing on me. "Design" and "Undertow" are particular standout tracks. - -- Jill Sobule, _Pink Pearl_ This is definitely my favorite Jill Sobule album. I haven't been motivated to listen to her other CDs much (though I will always go see her play live), but this one is just so much fun. Her songs are so wry, and the music has a distinctly 60's bubblegum-pop feel that makes me think of old Monkees reruns. "Rainy Day Parade", "Heroes", and "Mary Kay" are the ones that stick in the head the longest, but the whole thing is a lot of fun. Shows I've seen lately: - -- Jill Sobule, The Turning Point, Piermont, NY The place seats 63 at maximum legal occupancy, and it's perfect to see a single performer up on the tiny stage. Jill was has hilarious as I've ever seen her. She had some rabid high-school fans sitting right in front of the stage, and when she noted that they knew every word she called three of them up on stage to be her backup singers ("the Jillettes" :). They did a nice job, too. We picked up _Pink Pearl_ there (and got it signed, hee). - -- Heather Eatman, Acoustic Cafe, Bridgeport, CT This was the first time I'd seen Heather do a headlining set. Jo Davidson opened for her - I saw her along with Amy Fairchild one of the times Sarah Slean was at CB's Gallery, and wasn't overly impressed, but she was much better that night (despite a nasty cold). Both she and Heather had the ubiquitous Mike Visceglia on bass. Heather also had a full band, with drummer and a really good slide guitarist (names of course are long gone out of my RAM). It was a great, rocking set. Heather's got a grin that totally splits her face in two and makes her look like an escapee from the criminal psych ward, which along with her Laurie Anderson-esque hairdo makes for a memorable performance regardless of what she plays. But fortunately, her songs are great and her band is tight. She's now on my list of "will drive a distance to see". - -- Susan Werner, Janis Ian, Jules Shear, and Jimmy Webb, The Bottom Line, NYC July 4th weekend kicked off with the late (and I mean *late*) show of the "In Their Own Words" series at the Bottom Line. There was way more talking than singing, and host Rita Houston's really got to work on her moderation skills. But it was worth it to see Janis Ian play that incredible guitar of hers, and to hear Susan Werner sing a smoldering rendition of "Me And Mrs. Jones". Her duet with Jules Shear was pretty cool, too. (I'd never seen Jules Shear before. He is a walking seminar on How Not To Play The Guitar, and based on his pontification that evening, Aimee Mann's "J Is For Jules" makes *perfect* sense. What an ass.) Anyhoo, it was an interesting show. Can't wait to see Janis Ian on her own at Falcon Ridge. - -- Susan Werner, Concerts Under The Stars, King of Prussia, PA Two days later we were in the Philadelphia suburbs to see Svetlana play at the gazebo behind the Upper Merion Township Building. It was a beautiful night and a beautiful venue. The opener, David Roth was a study in bad songwriting (as someone on the believers list pointed out, where Susan wrote the lines, "Got my collarbone cracked and my handlebars bent/It was the year of the bad President", Roth would have written, "I fell off my bike in 1974"), and he also quite obnoxiously extended his set almost a full ten minutes by singing his final song three different ways, and *then* segueing into "Happy Trails To You". Truly painful. Anyway, Susan did another of those great shows of hers - she just keeps cranking the memorable performances out. Her new songs are really, really good (she seems to be avoiding the usual songwriters curse of happiness = writer's block), and I can't wait for Bottom Line Records to get its act together so she can get back into the studio again. - -- The Nields, Bowery Ballroom, NYC This past Wednesday I decided at the last minute to go ahead and see The Nields in NYC, despite the fact that I planned to see them do a free show down in Westport tonight. Good thing I did, 'coz it's raining small domesticated animals today, and tonight's outdoor show has been washed out. Eddie From Ohio was opening, so I met up with my best friend outside, then we went and enjoyed a leisurely dinner in Chinatown. Unfortunately it wasn't leisurely enough, because we only managed to miss half of EFO's set. One interesting bit was when Lucy Kaplansky joined them on stage for a pretty number. The gospel tune they did for an encore was excruciating, though. (I'm sorry - they are good musicians and they have a good vocal thing going on, but I just cannot get past their lyrics, and how obnoxious their fans were that time they opened for Happy.) Finally The Nields took the stage in their Big Rock Band configuration: starting off with "Living It Up In The Garden", each band member came out one by one, culminating with Nerissa and then Katryna. The set concentrated on material from _If You Lived Here, You'd Be Home Now_, which I am convinced is their best album yet. Even David's singing on "Forever" sounded better than usual. It was every bit as much fun as I'd expected, and exactly what I needed after a particularly crappy day at work, and I didn't mind getting to bed at 2:30 am. I had to miss the end of the set and the encore to catch the train, though. :( And that catches me up, I think. Anybody going to Falcon Ridge? Chris Montville et al. and woj and I are going to try to make a cogent plan this year, for once -- if anyone would like to help make an ecto camping area, drop me a line off-list.

When I was a young boy we had to trudge 20 miles in the snow just to get to a computer so that we could post to Ecto. We had to know all kinds of things like UNIX or eunuchs or something like that. We didn't have all of these fancy schmancy conveniences you youngsters have today you know with all of your web browsers and such.

Brian, I am assuming that you meant your post to be primarily tongue-in-cheek. For the most part that's the way I took it. On a serious note, I do hold in high regard the values of this Fuzzy Blue community. I have only been here for 18 months. I subscribed to the list and then lurked for about two to three weeks to gauge the temperature of the community. I really loved the communal and open atmosphere that I found here. That is why I have been participating as a member of the community. This is actually the first mailing to which I have subscribed where I have felt inspired to participate in the discussions. I have been on the Internet for 12 years, first via my work (I have worked in the hi-tech internetworking arena for the past 12 years) and then via a commercial Internet account (since1993 when the Internet went commercial because the NSF nets stopped receiving government funding). I have been familiar with the Usenet news groups since the beginning of my Internet experience. I have lurked on many alt. and rec. music news groups over that period. Most of the people on these various news groups have been generally friendly and civil. Many times the topics have been very interesting and informative. Because the new groups are accessible to the Internet population at large you get a wide variety of people contributing to the discussions. Some folks come into these groups wanting to be heard above all others. Others seem like they get off on purposely inciting trouble and/or controversy. They are like fire starters that love to see a house go up in flames. It is my observation that people can become very brave behind the anonymity of the computer keyboard and say things that they would never dare say to someone in a face to face conversation. Like everyone else here I have a delete key and can just cruise past the major flame war posts. It just gets tedious and time consuming. I really appreciate a news group that has a low signal-to-noise ratio. A mailing list on the other hand is a bit more of a closed community when compared to a news group. One must subscribe to the mailing list. In doing so I believe that you are agreeing to the principles and ethics of that list. From my perspective, it does require one to adhere to the code of ethics and conduct that has been set by the people who founded the community. In my opinion, it's a matter of respect. Ecto has prided itself on it's open, friendly and respectful environment. Therefore, there have been very few flame wars here. The signal-to-noise ratio has been quite low when compared to other mailing lists and news groups. If the thoughts and attitudes that I have expressed make me a curmudgeon from your perspective then I wear the moniker proudly. Love and peace! Bill M.

I believe that most of the on-line resources have been tapped out over the past year or so. Have you tried Jack Sutton's Harmony Ridge Music? They are at: http://www.hrmusic.com/ Perhaps he has a few Happy CDs left. On the other hand, they may all be long gone by now. When I was trying to complete my Happy collection I found a chain on the US East coast (Delaware and Pennsylvania) called Rainbow Records that had a few copies of Happy's CDs. You may try them as well. In general we are probably stuck right now with Samson having the rights to Happy's back catalog. In the past our fellow Ectophiles have posted to the list when they have come across a copy of Happy's CDs in a record/CD shop. I will make a point of looking for Happy CDs when I go into my favorite SF Bay Area CD shops. One more resource might be to go to the web sites of some of the CD stores listed on the The Ecto Independent CD Store Network site. You can then e-mail them to see if they have any Happy CDs in stock. http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Gala/8060/Music/Ectostores.html The bottom line is that you will probably need to go on a hunting expedition to track down her back catalog CDs at this point in time.
