The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari is a 1920 German silent horror film directed by Robert Wiene and written by Hans Janowitz and Carl Mayer. The quintessential work of early German Expressionist cinema, it tells the story of an insane hypnotist who uses a brainwashed somnambulist to commit murders. The film features a dark, twisted visual style, with sharp-pointed forms; oblique, curving lines; structures and landscapes that lean and twist in unusual angles; and shadows and streaks of light painted directly onto the sets. wiki13.4.25

FRIPP & ENO — The Equatorial Stars (2004) FLAC (tracks+.cue), lossless
Almost 30 years on since Evening Star, Robert Fripp and Brian Eno resume
their collaboration, and remarkably, they seem to have picked up right
where they left off. Remarkably, because Fripp's more recent
soundscaping has had a different quality than either his collaborations
with Eno or his proper "Frippertronics" albums like Let the Power Fall
or the solo side of God Save the Queen/Under Heavy Manners. Surely
they're not back to using the old Revox tape machine setup, but having
Eno in the producer's chair (not to mention making his own musical
contributions) seems to add a warmth that's been missing from albums
like 1999. But much like Evening Star showed a progression from No
Pussyfooting, The Equatorial Stars is another step forward while
retaining all the same elements as their previous work together. On
"Meissa," there's just a bit of glitch periodically applied to the
background keyboards and guitar harmonics with Fripp soloing softly over
the top. "Lyra" is even prettier, and you can really hear Fripp's
guitar lines trailing off into the distance. His tone here is less
saturated than on the earlier albums, but there's just as much sustain
and his playing is beautiful and lyrical. "Ankaa" bears the strongest
resemblance to the material on Evening Star, with that classic
"Frippertronics" guitar tone. And just as their previous efforts were
mostly, but not entirely, placid, The Equatorial Stars takes on a
slightly more aggressive tone (if you can call it that) toward the end.
"Lupus" adds the pulse of a heartbeat and a bit of sonic scuzz to the
mix, and "Terebellum" takes on a slightly more ominous tone. Most
surprising is "Altair," which almost gets funky with a bit of bass and
some chicken scratch rhythm guitar work. While Fripp is nominally at the
forefront on The Equatorial Stars, Eno's contributions and excellent
production are just as important. There seems to be a genuine synergy
when these two work together, and The Equatorial Stars is a worthy
successor to their earlier brilliant albums together. Sean Westergaard

BUCK CLAYTON — Goin' to Kansas City (1960-1990) RM | Original Jazz Classics Limited Edition Series | FLAC (tracks+.cue), lossless
Although trumpeter Buck Clayton gets top billing, this CD reissue actually features Tommy Gwaltney's Kansas City Nine, an unusual group sporting arrangements by Gwaltney and tenor-saxophonist Tommy Newsom (who decades later became famous for his work on The Tonight Show). The group has an unusual combination of major names (Clayton, trombonist Dickie Wells, guitarist Charlie Byrd, pianist John Bunch, bassist Whitey Mitchell and drummer Buddy Schutz) along with Gwaltney (who doubles on reeds and vibes), Newsom and Bobby Zottola (playing second trumpet and peck horn). Although the nonet performs a variety of songs associated with Kansas City Jazz of the swing era, the arrangements are modern and unpredictable. Scott Yanow
