There was a one page article on Emeralds earlier in the year (Jan/Feb I think) but not much on Flower-Corsano Duo beyond the review of the album but both Michael Flower and Chris Corsano feature regularly on many, many albums and get reviewed.
Emeralds are an electronic band that sound kind of like old German synth bands like Tangerine Dream and Cluster but aren't a pastiche. It's two guys with synths and a guitarist, very spacey and dream-like. Love them. They have quite a few releases out but the one featured in The Wire best of is probably the easiest to find and is one of their best. If you have an LP player and can find the self-titled LP they put out this year on Wagon, I recommend that a lot (it's my number 1 album of 2009).
Flower-Corsano Duo are free improvisation. Corsano is an amazing drummer (google him and just look at all the people he's worked with) and Flower, normally a guitarist, plays an instrument called the shaahi baaja which is sometimes called the Japanese banjo but it isn't really like a banjo at all. It's quite heavy if you're not into free improv but the swirling, dizzying music is pure brilliance if you ask me (which you did

Cheers for this, will defo check out Emeralds and I'll give The Flower-Corsano Duo a shot too.0 -

they would be my favourites out of that list. disappointed tim heckers - an imaginary country didnt make it, but the wire always depresses me anyways. It always confirms the sad truth that no matter how much ill try ill never be able to keep up with good stuff being released. im shamed that i never picked up flower corsano duos album after being blown away by them live earlier in the year.
on another note regarding the wire, if you pick up the latest edition look out for the most pompous and condescending review review you will ever read. the wire's review of the unsound festival
id recommend for everyone to try to make it to the whale watching tour. saw them at the above festival and it was one of the highlights.0 -
