notes (8 pieces) source a new world music: creative music (songs without music #2)

February 2, 2016 by bradfordbailey

Leo Smith – notes (8 pieces) source a new world music: creative music (1973 / 2015) Nearly eight years ago I shed joyful tears I never expected would fall. America elected its first Black president. For a moment I believed that the inherent racism which defines our country was slipping away. Those tears are now acid rain. Time has told other truths. The last decade has brought the question of race from the shadows, highlighted the polarization of our country, […]

I have a persistent day dream that there’s a generation of teenagers out there, digging in dusty bins of discarded CDs, hunting for gems from decades ago, as we were with LPs back then. Another one that’s traveled the years with me and never gotten old, released in 99 by @thrilljockey , featuring beautiful contributions by Tim Harris, @brownbattery , Georgia Hubley, and Katie Gentile #inthecdplayer #nowplaying #rickrizzo #rickrizzoandtarakey #tarakey #thrilljockey

Doubling back over the day. More CD only gold from Tony / @tableoftheelements - recorded in 1968 as a soundtrack for Piero Heiliczer’s film of the same name, and released for the first time in 2006. The cover is a film still of Tony in Ira Cohen’s The Invasion of Thunderbolt Pagoda, made the same year as this was recorded. I’ve loved this one deeply from the day it hit the bins. Listening now, having been swamped by a zeitgeist of pretty “experimental” organ records over the years since I last gave it a spin, I now know why nearly all of them left me feeling flat. Tony set the bar. I’ll take his battered tones and clattering pumps, dragging themselves across the album like a dying dog. Another microtonal snooze fest, made by a clever young thing, might make me jump out the window in despair. #inthecdplayer #nowspinning #tonyconrad #tableoftheelements #cds #dronemusic #organmusic

In keeping w/ today’s theme of amazing albums that have only been issued on CD, this one - Town and Country’s S/T debut from 1998 - rises to the top of the pile. A stunning piece of work by what was easily one of the best bands (Ben Vida, Jim Dorling, Josh Abrams, & Liz Payne) to emerge from Chicago during my years there, I still struggle to get enough after all these years. Needless to say, the members have gone on to do great things. This the 2007 reissue on my dear friend @koenholtkamp ‘s amazing Apestaartje imprint. #inthecdplayer #nowplaying #townandcountryband #apestaartje

More CD era essentials. A duo of unparalleled importance in my life. (They’ve been with me for more than half of it). Jim’s Happy Days, issued by Fahey’s Revenant in 1997, and Fahey’s Womblife, produced by Jim and released by @tableoftheelements that same year. Happy Days is among my all time top ten. Words fail how deeply it effects me. For better or worse, based on my discussions w/ Jim, it’s unlikely to ever receive a vinyl reissue. Womblife, on the other hand, is the record that forced me to address Fahey on my own terms, rather simply dismissing him as an artist whose work I had grown up with, and thus laid the groundwork for one of the most important musical love affairs of my life. It did have a vinyl pressing in Table’s Sea Changes & Coelacanths box, but this is its only stand alone release. #inthecdplayer #nowplaying #jimorourke #johnfahey #tableoftheelementsrecords #revenantrecords

This one (An Aural Symbolic Mystery) seriously fucking rips, and, like so many CD era releases, isn’t talked about nearly enough. Issued by Sub Rosa in 2006, it was hands down my favorite album of that year. These two brought the best out in each other. #inthecdplayer #nowplaying #tonyconrad #charlemagnepalestine #subrosarecords #minimalmusic
