CoBrA and Phases movements
Hey,
does anyone here know more about these movements?
It is pretty easy to find SOME information about the first one, but about the Phases group/movement/revue very few information. Just that it lasted from the '40s or '50s to the '90s (although the last exposition dates from 2008) and it was lead by Edouard Jaguer... Any more information? I'm really, really into Surrealism.

Re: CoBrA and Phases movements
i was trying to be smartass by searching the internet to give you some insight...
then i found this:
http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/7498-cobra-and-phases-group-play-voltage-in-the-milky-night/
sorry for getting off topic, bu how could they, i mean i remember seeing other reviews giving them bad grades. it is weird to me that a collective amount of critics were giving them shit. to be it is the one of the top 3 lab products of their career so far ( i wish there will be more to be compared)

It is hard to find anything about this at all. Where did you hear about it (other than the title of the Stereolab album)?

that album was judged pretty harshly by critics. it's not my favourite album but it's still really good and didn't deserve all the bad press.

It is equal best with dots and loops. It is awesome.
Still, everyone (even critics) has a right to an opinion.

i remember this review. for me it was enlightening not because i agreed but because it made me realize that reviews, no matter how well written, are purely subjective. up until that point i gave them way more credence than they deserve and most likely even let them shape my own views of what is or is not sonically acceptible.
of course there have always been reviews that i didn't agree with but this one made it clear to me that my sensibilities are completely different from brent dicrescenzo's (who btw, no longer writes for pitchfork)...
anyone who takes what these people say seriously that is doing themselves a terrible disservice. you gotta go out there and discover/experience it for yourself. no one else can do it for you. if you think so, you're missing out!
