robert ashley - yellow man with heart with wings
yellow man with heart with wings was composed in 1978 by Robert Ashley.
it's a two part composition with narration. this one is never mentioned but is
actually one of his best and most accessible release. it has the same kind of mild
background instrumentation than "automatic writing" but with a fantastic synthesizer
general sound. "part one is a narration by Guillermo Grenier in dreamy, flatly
inflected spanish, backed by a four-note synthesizer track, and punctuated by
mysterious, heavily processed vocalizations. in part two, the four-note synthesizer
line returns, this time backing an ethereal, sustained chord, and the heavily altered
english vocals sound 'like a distant rendering of the earth's electromagnetic halo'."
jos de gruyter and harald thys - the frigate
this is the music composed by Erik Thys for Jos de Gruyter
and Harald Thys' video "The Frigate". it sounds like super fast classical
music pastiche for a thriller movie sometimes morphing into great
minimalist electronic sounds. this is actually a surprisingly nice and fun
record by these great contemporary artists.
it was recently published by Grotto, you should definitely check this out.
the pickle factory - our anthems
recently unearthed 1996 recording by the trio of Scott Foust & Karla Borecky of
Idea Fire Company, plus Mike Popovich. Just a fantastic LP,
this is a kind of a 'pop' take on the IFCO sound, a series of beautiful
sound vignettes in the style of Another Green World or Zuckerzeit-era Cluster,
with groovy bass lines, wordless vocals and the trademark synth/tapes/radio experiments !
Make sure to buy the LP from twisted knister and support these guys, they deserve it!!
v.a. - i hate the pop group
Fantastic comp of late 70/early 80 UK DIY punk/electronic weirds, featuring the Prats,
the Door & The Window, EG Oblique Graph, Storm Bugs, Doof and many others...
not my own rip, but this is still hard to find, so here you go.
