oh wow, that looks interesting. Braxton sems a fascinating character, from the little I've heard of his music.

Better not let Vybik see it though, it is j*zz...


There's a good introduction to Braxton in Val Wilmer's "As Serious As Your Life" if you can dig a copy out of your local library (I assume it is long out of print).

I loved exploring this music in the early 80s. Seemed as good an anecdote to what was happening to Post Punk as any.

Now I kind of wonder whether a lot of this music was about disowning the listener and falling down the same rabbit hole as the Marxist academics who disappeared into forms of critical analysis almost designed to have no readers other than their peers.

That said when this music hits it really hits and labels are irrelevant.


Hah! Great way of putting it Ian :)
