This Mortal Coil / Album: "Blood"

"This Mortal Coil were a British music collective led by Ivo Watts-Russell, founder of the British record label 4AD. Although Watts-Russell and John Fryer were the only two official members, the band's recorded output featured a large rotating cast of supporting artists, many of whom were otherwise associated with 4AD, including members of Cocteau Twins, Pixies, and Dead Can Dance. The project became known for its gothic, dream pop sound, and released three full albums beginning in 1984 with It'll End in Tears...This Mortal Coil

Blood This Mortal Coil (Artist) Format: Audio CD

"The third and final album by This Mortal Coil, 1991's Blood is neither as unfocused as Filigree & Shadow or as conceptually pure as It'll End in Tears, but it's a solidly enjoyable set. Once again, nearly half the tracks are instrumentals (or tracks with minimal and often wordless female vocals) written by Ivo Watts-Russell and John Fryer, but this batch of tunes holds together much better than the much more amorphous originals on Filigree & Shadow; lengthy atmospheric explorations like "Dreams Are Like Water" sound composed and thoughtful rather than merely pretty. And as always, the covers are brilliantly chosen. The twin highlights are two songs written by Big Star's Chris Bell; "I Am the Cosmos" is reinterpreted as a ragged, brink-of-chaos rocker that sounds like it could have been on Big Star's post-Bell magnum opus, Third, while a delicate acoustic version of "You and Your Sister" with wispy, unsure vocals by Kim Deal and Tanya Donelly ranks with the first album's reinterpretation of Tim Buckley's "Song to the Siren" as one of the group's masterpieces. Other gems include a near-symphonic reading of Spirit's "Nature's Way" and a version of Syd Barrett's "Late Night" that strips the song down to not much more than Caroline Crawley's voice and a low-frequency hum.....Read more:

"...У 72 приче, колико се сакупило у три дела ове зирке, дато је можда једно од најтурбулентнијих путовања у човекову подсвест у последње време у домаћој књижевности..." - Јелена Дилбер

NOĆ SLOMLJENIH STRELA

Iz Predgovora:

"...MEGALOPOLIS III

Mister anonimus, stanovnik velegrada, ponovo medju nama – kratke priče”Noć slomljenih strela” Sebastijana Sava Gor-a

 

Anarhizam se danas modernizovao a urbani buntovnik konformizovao. Svetska revolucija nije uspela, ostalo nam je da sami vodimo svoje bitke a ostao nam je i andergaund (underground). Pred nama je jedan  andergraund opredeljen mlađi beogradski pesnik, rok muzičar i pisac, Sebastijan Sava Gor, koji nam u ovoj svojoj seriji kratkih priča pripoveda o urbanizovanim ambijentima Megalopolisa III, megalopolisa nužnosti, za razliku od futurističko-tehnicističkog Megalopolisa I, megalopolisa želje – Metropolisa, Frica Langa (Fritz Lang, 1890-1976), nikad ne ostvarenog, i Megalopolisa II - tepih-urbanizacije iz šezdesetih godina prošlog veka koja je obećavala “posao i stan za svakog”, ali neuspešno, što se kasnije uspostavilo i kao utopija. Andergraund je ovde važan kao jedini nastavak ideja o Svetskoj /modernoj/ revoluciji, nastalih na zdravoj osnovi Spenserovog  konzervativnog anarhizma (Herbert Spencer 1820 –1903) sa krilaticom: “The Man versus the State / Čovek protiv države/”,  a koji  se takođe nikad nije realizovao kao “naivan”. Dok su se u medjuvremenu pojavile ideje o globalizaciji sveta i društvu bez države, ovaj umetnički pravac, mada naizgled globalistički, zapravo je jedini ostao anarho-podrivački  i ima za krajnji cilj da podrije sve društvene sisteme, aparature i establišmente, bilo koje vrste, pošto ih smatra za prodate i pokvarene..."

Review of the book – Sebastian Sava Gor: “The Night of Broken Arrows”, Belgrade, 2014

This collection of short stories explores the figure of the urban man today. The text analyzes contemporary urban existence and shows that, in these stories, the modern urban man is quite different from the one found in Megalopolis I / Metropolis by Fritz Lang — the megalopolis of desires — as well as from the urban man of Megalopolis II, marked by mass urbanization since the 1960s, an urbanization of disappointment.

The conclusion is that today we live in a Megapolis with a cult of fun and games, and that the writer stands in opposition to it — fighting for more nature and a more natural way of life: within oneself, in everyday life, and in love.

ISHOD NA NIŠANU

Iz Predgovora:

„...da je na Zemlji sve racionalno, ništa se ne bi ni događalo...“

- Fjodor Mihajlovič Dostojevski

Objektivna neracionalizacija je postala opšta pojava i u tom smislu egzistencija je ugrožena.

Tražeći, kao hodajući kroz mrak, autor uspeva da iracionalno, nadrealno, podsvesno, lično i kolektivno nesvesno, osvetli i da kroz sopstvenu prizmu, realizuje specifičnu i novu lingvističku formu, nov, literarni stil, kojim nam. predstavlja zbirku poezije, tako otvoreno slikovitu, bez poređenja, koketiranja, sa bilo kakvim

autoritetima, koja postavlja jako bitna pitanja, prvenstveno pitanja koja se tiču naše zajedničke egzistencje.

Na veoma jedinstven i snažno poetičan način, Sebastian Sava Gor uspeva da pretvari nadrealno u egzizstencijalno.
