JON GIBSON-VISITATIONS, CPS, 1973, L.P., U.S.A































VISITATIONS


NYC, 1973. Chatham Square Productions, INC
First solo LP by this Phillip Glass part time collaborator and label mate. Beautifully done left field modern minimal classical work. A wonderful excursion in "non-monumental music". Instrumentation includes: wooden flutes, bells, cymbals, synth, brook, claves and various effects. A great example of field recordings interweaving with composed musical instruments to create sonic blanketing . Put this on in place of your morning and evening ragas for a similar effect on heads.

FRANK GARVEY-OMNICIRCUS, L.P., 1979, U.S.A




circus



Renaissance man by way of Chicago, Garvey recorded this album there which would later be the impetus for realizing the OmniCircus Robotic Theater Ensemble in San Francisco a few years later. We posted his first LP a few months back and are now pleased to bring you the other missing link from this part of his career.

Pushing sound barriers throughout most of the LP with heavy synth work and tape saturation cymbals, droning and built-up textures, not unlike many later recordings by MB and the likes. We love it for this intense exploration of the synth, he has definitely mastered his craft, containing all blasts & washes of sound collage.

Again, production here is top notch. the back reads: "This recording contains the music for the first 2 sections of "Ominicircus", a theater piece for electronic music, computer graphics, video synthesis, dance, sculpture, architecture and drama" wow!
back cover notes also elude to a 3/4" tape version as well as VHS and Beta documents. PLEASE get in touch if you have these??! Synth mad scientist excursions at their best! complete again with xeroxed/do it yourself lay out ...

Recommended!

This progressive second lp by oakland's pgr exudes a washed cascading river of drones- experimental and found sounds all layered together perfect.

POISON GAS RESEARCH navigates through industrial, psychedelic, ambient and musique concrète.

as minty fresh as this vinyl appears hints of hiss and evidence of dirt do come thru
hopefully better than the post of this album on the excellent shards of beauty spot-
...enjoy

TRISTEZA-TEARLESS LIMA, TOUR ONLY CDR +BONUS TRACKS, 2005, MEXICO





lima






















self released by tristeza with help from bulbo of tijuana and in conjunction with Japanese tour:

there might be a common misconception that tristeza follows a certain code of musical terrain to abide by, however trim your ear hairs -these next few posts should prepare that tristeza's sound is not only beyond trivial and mostly lifeless tags such as post rock or instrumental, it can actually transcend said genre's muffin although at times true is the sword, we cannot stop lifeless quiffs or horrible luck. I know for a fact that the pretty and quiet than so loud your brain caves in formula that most "instrumental bands" explore bores this band stiff...in several instances you might add: post punk, kraut, minimal synth, ambient, drone, dub, heelgaze, prog, and musique concrete to the descriptive cataloger of tristeza's sound corral.

some music that may have influenced these recordings include:

cluster, neu, bark psychosis, chris and cosey, silver apples, loop, windy and carl, felt, dif juz, durriti column, cocteau twins, john cage, cybotron, spacemen 3, chrome, talk talk and various psychadelicks.

In addition to 16 track cd post includes 13 live and unreleased songs.

BISMILLAH KHAN-SHENAI NAWAL, LP, 1964, INDIA






HECO






















The Shehnai is an aerophonic instrument which is thought to bring good luck, and as a result, is widely used in India for marriages and processions.

This tube-like instrument gradually widens towards the lower end. It usually has between six and nine holes. It employs two sets of double reeds, making it a quadruple reed woodwind. By controlling the breath, various tunes can be played on it.


"A true symbol of our composite culture, Khan Sahib, through his mellifluous rendering of the shehnai, showed us that while God may manifest himself in many forms, piety finds its true expression through music

Ustad Bismillah Khan Sahib was a great son of India".
