new Option

[hsu%uicsrd.CSRD.UIUC.EDU@a.cs.uiuc.edu (William Tsun-Yuk Hsu)]

New Option is out. The usual Option format, slick and not very in-depth.
There are some interesting groups covered this time, like Diamanda Galas,
Alain Neffe/Human Flesh, etc.

Human Flesh makes some very coherent, beautiful collage music. They
use a lot of traditional instruments (usually processed) and sung
and spoken vocals in several languages. Meditation and Fears is a 
good cassette of their stuff, a little like Diana Rogerson's solo stuff
but without her blatant insanity. Even 4AD fans may like it.
