i saw Sun play at the Hopetoun in sydney back in 2002. I had never heard them before (i was a fan of Oren's old noise band Phlegm) but thought they were great.

thanks shaun!

oren is truly brilliant.

cant wait to see him playing with sunn \m/

i've been looking for info on Oren Ambarchi. filterfeed wasn't much help. my local record store geek was recommending him. i only have one track from a wire mag cd.

Definitely get Suspension

dunno where you are kaput, but Red Eye in Sydney has a copy. If you're in Melbourne you might find it easier.

Grapes of the Estate is worthwhile as well

i'm in the uk shaun but my wee record store guy should be able to get something in. if not, i'll be in sydney in 4 weeks. cheers.

The guitarist of The Red Hot Chili Peppers is a huge fan of Oren Ambarchi. Listed his Grapes Of The Estate album as a favourite album of his.

grapes of the estate is siiiick. also suspension.

anybody heard this?

Here's a random blurb i found:

> formerly orthodox hasidic students of talmud and tanya, these two members of the australian punk unit phlegm have brought together influences from boredoms and the japanese noise scene, traditional jewish nigunim and yiddish theatre, marc ribot, ornette coleman and countless others to create a new world of twisted dreams and startling sonorities. a must for all lovers of weirdness

totally. also, insulation.

Oren works at Metropolis Music (Curtin House) in Melbourne. Go and say hi to him. He's a very personable chap.

btw i should have mentioned that album i posted about above is a Oren Ambarchi / Robbie Avenaim release.

I haven't heard it so comments would be nice.

damn you and your obscure coolsieness, kaput. no help! pah.

the sun record is lovely. very speciall

i don't know much else

socks owns the ambarchi/avenaim release. leant it to me once, but that was a long time ago. he's a huge fan of oren's and should be able to provide much insight into his recordings.

the sun record that came out on preservation in maybe 2003 is phenomenal. so are the remixes.

incidentally the main guy behind sun - chris townend - produces some stuff in sydney. he did all the production on the most recent rand and holland record, and plays on it a bit too.

Oren's stuff is pretty much flawless.

How was the sound/volume? I ask because the last time i saw the Dead C it was WAY too quiet.

Bummed I missed Oren.

i dont think he's so cool but i think the menstruation sisters and phlegm are super cool.

new oren - audience of one

Thanks for the heads up. Bought the mp3s immediately. Very different.

Any ummm leaks?

scroll down

Cheers :]

Had no idea there was new Windy & Carl as well... excited.

I was listening to some of the new Windy & Carl this morning via Boomkat. I think Kranky will be distributing the album too. So, if you're after vinyl you save the $$$

this oren thing is doing quite nicely so far. thanks for the heads-up blake.

Quite enjoying this Oren release. Knots is really engaging in it's movements. Top work.

I'd suspect that would be a guarantee. Only had a distracted listen yesterday, sounded like W&C, sounded like I'm going to embrace it on the road this weekend.

Let me know if you find a way to ''acquire'' the album ahead of time.

It be on the same blog blake3030 posted for Oren action :]

playing tomorrow night at melbourne recital centre

Damn...

Will never really be able to get excited about this extreme noise stuff. I am enjoying listening to 'My Melancholy Baby' parts one and two tonight though. Really beautiful, bewitching droplets of guitar.

Novelty album? Christmas album?

Live, prolly. The snippets on youtube are excellent.
