Stevie Moore's second album, Delicate Tension. Recorded in 1978, but re-released at least twice and peppered with extra tracks over the decades. The first proper track, at about 00:25, is sacred flute music from New Guinea, recorded by Ragnar Johnson and assisted by Jessica Mayer. Wonderful folks, I'm sure. Robert Wyatt and his wife Alfreda Benge had some clout in getting these recordings released on Rounder in 1999. Digital mastering was done in July, 2015 and the revamped version of these recordings -- Sacred Flute Music from New Guinea-- will be out in mid-April on the Ideologic Organ label. Switching up rather radically, the following three tracks are from guitarist G

Hello! I didn't know if I was going to do another PFTB podcast or not, but in the midst of nights of thunder and days of rain, at the end of the summer, I found myself entranced by the musician Ghédalia Tazartès, and wanted to share. So here's a sampling of his music. I won't talk about him (yet) -- I think it's better to just jump into his sonic world with both feet.

It's been a little over nine months since the last Papers for the Border podcast, but the end of the year is as good a reason as any to get back into the groove. All releases featured in this podcast are from albums released in 2014, but only a few of the tracks are actually from that year. PFTB is all about old wine in new bottles.

Hello again! At the outset of putting together the 18th episode, I knew I couldn’t reasonably expect listeners to sit through almost three hours of this business, but there was too much good stuff left on the cutting room floor, so I knew fairly early on that there would be a “bonus EP” of sorts. In the spirit of the other Haines-inspired title, I’m calling this one: What This Was Going to Supposed to Mean Here’s the tracklist, following the format of Episode 18, it’s just bare bones, with credits and other info directly following it. Please take a look at the previous blog post for more info on all the albums from which these tracks are culled.
