Morton Feldman: Two Pianos and other pieces, 1953-1969
by John Eyles
It has become a truism that AMM pianist John Tilbury is an interpreter of Morton Feldman's music par excellence--one of the very best, if not the best. Such opinions are backed up by his Feldman recordings such as Morton Feldman: All Piano (LondonHALL, 1999), Triadic Memories--Notti Stellate A Vagli (Atopos, 2008) and For Philip Guston (Atopos, ...

David Sylvian: There's a Light That Enters Houses With No Other House in Sight
by Phil Barnes
David Sylvian's extended flight from pop stardom in the middle years of the 1980s was an enthralling counterpoint to that decade's facile obsession with surface and relapse into materialism.
