1) I'm just going to get this out of the way: You are not able to download this album here. Erstwhile is a distributor, and they don't take kindly to our types robbing them of a fistful of dollars (dollars they actually deserve, as opposed to say EMI). Also, this record came out just last year. Go buy it. It's worth it.
2) This post is my response to Taylor's Tatsuya Nakatani post, located just south of here. Like Green Report 12, Let's Fall in Love! is a solo percussion record. I hear one big difference between this and Green Report and that is this: Let's Fall in Love! is actually a good record. Whereas Nakatani is content to wander from instrument to instrument and noodle a bit at each one, Carlsson creates gorgeous (and occasionally frightening) textures out of a handful at a time, slowly developing a piece to feel like a well-rounded composition rather than an off-the-cuff improvisation (this record is improvised, mind you). "My Heart was Screaming Like a Cow" is one of my favorite solo percussion tracks ever, mostly for what appears to be the use of a snare drum to generate a sympathetic buzz juxtaposed to a bowed god-knows-what, creating the illusion of a distorted signal. That kind of trickery is something I truly swoon over, and it is my hope that some of you may find yourselves swooning over Let's Fall in Love! as well.

lol
A duel of records! Cool :)
Side note: maybe we could put a direct 'buy' link to replace our traditional 'Download.' for cases like these. Just for convenience; I know we can click on the label's page and find out, but perhaps it could be useful.
Yeah, that might work. That's normally what the "label" link is for, like you said, but having it in two places couldn't hurt.

Ha, I like both!
gonna dowload it anyway. fuck this erstwhilian metallica-policy.
I like Nakatani's stuff more (thanks taylor, I've never heard of him before). In Search of Wild Tulips is much better from Carlsson (but it's a quartet). Anyway, the best solo percussion record is Milford Graves Stories' :)
raymond, "tulips" is a great record.
indeed, 'tulips..' is rad -- it's a warmer take on 'semi-impressionism,' if you ask me (to be reductive).
