Karl Blau
Into the Nada
"I, Karl Blau, am a recording artist from Anacortes, WA. My debut K record Beneath Waves should be available in January of 2006. You may have heard my flute, sax, or drums on various K records. I've recorded with Mirah, Wolf Colonel, the Microphones, Little Wings, and I'm one third of the band D+(with Phil Elverum and Bret Lunsford). And more recently I've been touring & recording with the fabulous Laura Veirs." -- Karl Blau
Is it just me or are the music blogs totally ignoring K records? I just visited the site and found this excellent mp3 from Karl Blau. To my ears, this song updates the Canterbury sound of Gong and Caravan for the mp3 era. Lovely.

I've thought that exact same thing, i first heard gong and related Canterbury sounds about 10 years ago when i was 17, me and my friends still dig it very much but i can't quite swing them round to the way of the k... I love Karl's music, can't wait for new album Zebra!!!
