Pierrot le Fleur by Marina Mika<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2022 I’ve been saying for years that Andrzej \u017bu\u0142awski’s On the Silver Globe<\/em> should be given a proper blu-ray release, and that’s what Region B viewers will receive soon courtesy of Eureka. Andrzej \u017bu\u0142awski: Three Films<\/em><\/a> will be released in May, a set that comprises the director’s unfinished SF film, his debut feature, The Third Part of the Night<\/em> (1971)\u2014which I still haven’t seen\u2014and also The Devil<\/em> (1972), which I have seen but only as a poor copy that’s been circulating via illicit channels for many years.<\/p>\n

\u2022 “The album\u2019s 18-minute, multi-section standout Jenny Ondioline<\/em> acquired a crucial role. It became the first track I\u2019d play whenever I boarded a train, slipped on my headphones, and settled in beside an anonymous rail rider.” Hayden Merrick<\/a> on travelling across the USA to the sounds of Transient Random-Noise Bursts With Announcements<\/em> by Stereolab.<\/p>\n

\u2022 At Aquarium Drunkard: E. Hehr<\/a> explores musical exotica via Technicolor Paradise: Rhum Rhapsodies & Other Exotic Delights<\/em>, “…a compilation that touches upon the noir side of exotica, far more gritty and raw compared to the lavish production on the esteemed exotica albums from Capitol and Liberty.” I own this collection. It’s a good one.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy own experience,\u201d Leda muses \u201ctells me that more love goes into the thought of homosexuality than the practice.\u201d Other gays are neither radical heroes nor the pathetic, self-hating fairies of, say, Mart Crowley\u2019s Boys in the Band<\/em>. This frankness makes Love, Leda<\/em> a singular work; a contemporary portrait of working-class gay London in the years running up to decriminalisation that neither flatters nor sensationalises. In doing so, Hyatt transforms gay sex and love from an abject taboo to a deeply human intimacy.<\/p>\n

Huw Lemmey<\/a> on Love, Leda by Mark Hyatt, a candid tale of gay life in the Britain of the 1960s<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u2022 “It became something like a ritual, an exhumation of long-unheard music reanimated as glacial drones and ghostly symphonic movements\u2014the sound of the cathedral transmuted into an enveloping shadow of pulsation, echo and glitch.” Orgelwerk<\/em><\/a> by Ted Reichman.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Max Richter<\/a> answers 50 questions. Sleep<\/em>, Richter’s 8-hour ambient epic, is still my favourite among his compositions that I’ve heard to date: 8 CDs and a blu-ray disc<\/a> from Deutsche Grammophon.<\/p>\n

\u2022 RIP Alastair Brotchie<\/a>, publisher of books at Atlas Press<\/a>, and biographer of Alfred Jarry. Also a commenter here on one occasion<\/a> when he corrected an erroneous photograph caption.<\/p>\n

\u2022 A trailer for Suzume<\/em><\/a>, a new feature film by Makoto Shinkai. Related: A Gathering of Cats<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u2022 The story behind Jack Pierson<\/a>\u2019s homoerotic new photo book.<\/p>\n
