Kommt etwas zu spät … in der Zwischenzeit gab es ja die drei späten Alben alle in Japan wieder.
Viel interessanter das neueste aus dem Hause Jonathan Horwich/International Phonograph:
Ran Blake – Film Noir
Also in the „dark magic“ vein is Blake’s Film Noir, a return to the dramatic movie music that fascinated him as a child. An album guaranteed to make your hair stand on end, Film Noir includes bizarre versions of the theme songs from All About Eve, Streetcar Named Desire, The Pawnbrok-er and Pinky, plus Blake’s personal salutes to such cinema-tic netherworlds as Orson Welles’ Touch of Evil, Fritz Lang’s Doktor Mabuse, and Claude Chabrol’s Le Boucher.
„I love the risk of improvising,“ Blake says, „the naked moments,“ and it is those moments that make his music special, for his risks and revela-tions sound like no one else’s. „If you develop your own unique sound,“ Blake once wrote in an essay about Third Stream music, though he could have been speaking of himself, „it may take you longer to get a break, but you cannot be re-placed so easily. And there is some security in not being forgotten.“
aus einem Interview, das Larry Kart 1983 mit Blake führte und hier gepostet hat:

Anscheinend gab es das Ding schon mal bei Dustygroove, aber es taucht noch nicht mal auf der Website des Labels auf. Steht bei mir auf jeden Fall ganz oben auf dem Zettel!
