JIN SHAN’S TOP 10 ALBUMS

# Joy Division - Transmission (BBC radio session)
# Steve Reich - Music for 18 Musicians
# City of Sadness (original soundtrack)
# Tetsuo Furudate + Zbigniew Karkowski - World As Will II
I’m definitely missing some of my past favourites. Rock and love are the passion and sentimentality of adolescence, followed by a process of cooling down. I’m still a listener, but I never take music as an exit of my fantasies, because it’s only a small spot in my world of desire. Nowadays I usually listen to some MP3s here and there, so it’s hard to say exactly what I’ve been listening to.

WOLFENSTEIN’S TOP TEN ALBUMS
# LIM Giong 林強 - Entertainment World 娛樂世界 (1994)
The only work of Taiwan pop music that is up to the international standard.
# Massive Attack - Protection (1994)
# Underworld - Everything Everything (2000)
Top-notch electronica performing group.
# Goldie - Timeless (1995)
The first time I heard “flying” beats. Too bad that drum’n'bass went into a beat cul-de-sac later, and Goldie stopped being able to produce anything exciting.
# Ryuichi Sakamoto - Neo Geo (1987)
The only piano piece from Prof. Sakamoto that’s worth listening to (forget about the live version).
# Carl Stone - Shing Kee (1986)
Was completely dumbfounded when I first listened to this. Grandiosity within such simple rules and form.
# Farmers Manual - FSCK (1997)
All the Mego CDs are fading in my mind, with this only exception.
# Yoshimatsu Takashi - Piano Concerto “Memo Flora” (1997)
# Dajuin Yao - ForeTaste Radio (2000 - 2003)
Dajuin is Dajuin, others are others.
# Autechre - Untilted (2005)
Everybody thinks I’m an Autechre geek so I have to pick one of theirs.

GNO Top 10 series - Ronez
by lawrence
Ronez (ZHOU Pei) is one of the earliest Chinese musicians that dive into genres other than rock’n'roll. He started doing electronica in the late ’90s but switched to hardware-based noise music before making his first formal public appearance at Sounding Beijing 2003 with a full table of home-made electronics. Together with Shanghai-based Torturing Nurse and Hangzhou-based Acidzen, Ronez represents the no-laptop/circuit-bending school of Chinese new music.

and Melvin, Smog, Coleman, Jack Johnson, Glove, Mingus, Donovan, Cracker, Dolphy, Stooges, Buffalo Springfield, Lovin’ Spoonful, and all psycho folk, psychabilly, old grunge, old garage/psych rock, old and odd jazz noise.
this is a list before I really get into hip hop underground and noise/experimental stuff, so it will be a long list if i put all of them on it. These stuff are some music I really cost time listening to. I still listen to these CD when I do not listen to noise and do not make noise.

# Aphex Twin - Richard D. James / Come to Daddy
My first encounter with electronic music. Also, the last two great albums from Aphex Twin.
# Autechre - Gantz Graf

# Shakti - A Handful of Beauty
This is just beautiful music.

# Tabla Beat Science - Tala Matrix
Percussion at its best.
# Digable Planet - Blow Out Comb
This is the best hip hop album I’ve heard so far. Too bad that all of the members are doing some shit music now.
# Santana, John McLaughlin - Love Devotion Surrender
This is the kind of music that you can cry to.
# Terje Rypdal - Chaser
This is rock n roll! I also got to see him live in New York. An experience that I will never forget.

DAJUIN YAO’S TOP TEN ALBUMS
# Miles Davis - Live/Evil
I must confess that I shoplifted my copy of this album from the local Yamaha dealership, and it was a Quadraphonic LP version (I still remember the gold, instead of red, labels on these Columbia SQ records and the slightly moldy smelling heavy album covers, with of course the amazing paintings by Mati Klarwein, especially his rendition of J. Edgar Hoover on the back cover). I was only a poor kid back then and it wasn’t that serious a crime, because I did pay for my “Bitches Brew,” which I got along with it. Come to think of it now, lifting a 12-inch double album was no small feat. But I thought a two-for-one deal was only fair, and nobody else in the country knew what the hell this was anyway. By the way, after listening to the recently released “Cellar Door Sessions,” I realized how Teo Macero cheated us big time with his heavy cutting and pasting in the original Live/Evil release version, but what a magnificient cheat! And, man, that narration by Conrad Roberts on “Inamorata” put in during post-production!
# Mahavishnu Orchestra - Visions of the Emerald Beyond
To be able to see it without hallucinogens. That’s what I call real vision.# Jean-Claude Eloy - Gaku-no-Michi (1978)
When I first met Eloy in Taipei back in 1978, I wasn’t as impressed by his music (which I heard too little of then) as by his composure and his deep penetration into the realm of sound - a quality that I had encountered previously only in percussionist/composer Michael Ranta. I can never forget the image of Eloy raising his right arm up to the EQ controls and leaving it up there for about twenty-minutes, during his presentation of “Kama-Kala” for three orchestras and chorus. 26 years later, I brought Mr. Eloy and “Gaku-no-Michi” to Sounding Taipei 2004 for a magnificent 4-hour, 4-channel live diffusion concert. After I release his complete version of “Gaku-no-Michi” on four CDs, I’ll be able to die with no regrets.# Keith Jarrett - Köln Concert
This music is so personal to me that I don’t even want to reflect on it now; and I probably will never play it again. But my on-the-spot, improvised English composition essay on this music did get me transferred successfully into the English department when I was about to be kicked out of the aeronautical engineering department. And by the way, I wrote the Chinese liner notes to probably the only pirate LP edition of “Köln Concert” manufactured in Asia.
# Santana - Welcome
One track title sums the whole album up perfectly: “Flame/Sky.”
# Circle - Paris Concert (Anthony Braxton, Chick Corea, Barry Altschul, Dave Holland; 1971)
Four top musicians in top shape, heading towards unknown beauty. The art of improvisation at its best.
# Nikhil Banerjee - Raag Malkauns - Live Concert Vol. 1 (Cchanda Dhara)
Totally still, yet totally agitated, at the same time. I’m lucky to have met Pandit Banerjee once in 1983.
# Karlheinz Stockhausen - Hymnen (1967)
It’s really not about the sounds, or how complex the inter-modulation techniques are. It’s the scale of that grand, humanistic vision.
# Arnold Schönberg - Verklärte Nacht (Karajan/Berliner Philharmonik version)
The version I heard was actually a pirated LP made by Yongfeng Records - cheap, scratchy recycled vinyl, and cheap, thin paper sleeves. But hell, it sure don’t matter. Also, no other performance version on earth can compare to this one by Herbert von!
# ЛЮБЭ - Песни о людях (Lyube - Songs of the People) (1997)
I didn’t think that truly great songs could still be written in this era, songs that achieve folk-song status as soon as they come out and can live on forever. I can never forget the state of disbelief I was in when I first heard the almost a cappella “Kostroma” (from another album, Polustanochki); I played it repeatedly for 5 or 6 times straight. Then I started playing these Russian gems on my ForeTaste Radio show (the name is a pun on “avant-garde music” in Chinese) around 2001 and a network of young Chinese fans simply went nuts over Lyube, DDT, Akvarium, Alla Pugacheva, Linda, Zemphira… And no doubt Lyube is everybody’s favorite. This is a big wide world that has been unfairly censored all these years by the Anglo-American music hegemony.

GNO Top 10 series - Dickson Dee
by lawrence
The once-legendary music magazine Music Heaven (Yinyue Tiantang) has recently invited Hong Kong-based musician Dickson Dee to select his top ten records, below is the translation of his choices, which he has posted on his blog.
Dickson’s entry at Chinese New Ear is here.
This will be a continuous series documenting the musical taste of Chinese experimental musicians/sound artists.
TOP TEN RECORDS IN MY LIFE
by LI Chin-sung (aka Dickson Dee, DJ Dee)
translated by Lawrence LiMusic Heaven did an interview with me and asked me to list my top ten records, I came up with twelve and here they are:
# New Order - Lowlife
My first vinyl, it brought me into the realm of independent/experimental music.
# John Zorn - Spillane (1987)
My first John Zorn release, which taught me that it’s possible to put strings and turntables together.
# Depeche Mode - Black Celebration
The best album by DM, in my opinion. I have learnt from it about the concept of tone color in electronic music.
# Einstürzende Neubauten - Halber Mensch
Industrial music has been flowing in my blood after this album.
# Ornette Coleman - Who’s Crazy
I got to know the music of this free jazz master via John Zorn, since when free jazz records turn up on my turntable frequently.
# Throbbing Gristle - Mission of Dead Souls
My first TG record, together with EN, it presented a comprehensive picture of Industrial music to me.
# Luc Ferrari - Acoustrix 3
I didn’t “officially” know the work of this musique concrete composer until 1995, when someone made the comment that my album Past is deeply influenced by Ferrari, after which I started hunting for his stuff.
# CHEN Ming Chang 陈明章 - Dust in the Wind (HOU Hsiao-hsien’s Movie Music)
An OST that I like. The most important thing that I have learnt from it is another kind of sensibility of guitar playing.
# v/a - What’s Sound: Ma-Li-Ma-Li-Hung (1992)
The first compilation produced by me, also the first time I produce LAU Yee-tat’s more experimental works. It’s the first somewhat comprehensive map of Hong Kong’s independent music.
# OTOMO Yoshihide 大友良英 - We Insist?
The first solo album by Otomo Yoshihide, which showed me the world of Japanese independent music.
# Tetsuo FURUDATE 古馆彻夫 + Zbigniew Karkowski - World as Will II
The most grandiose album that uses electronic sound and string instruments, some of my music are deeply influenced by this CD.
# Philip Glass - Powaqqatsi
I’ve been crazy about polyphonic and minimal music since listening to this.
