Greetings folks,
Hope you're doing good. December already, blimey, he says as he sweeps a ton of leaves off the front stoop whilst hype cat supervises efficiently. Kinda happy to be doing that really as I've been struck with a mysterious ailment most of the week, which has now (I hope) cleared up, thank the gods. It's that time of year for sure.
Back to reg prog, we see @AccordionBruce holding the frisb with this to say by way of introduction to today's pick...
"I was going to play something else. Then thought of this and started grinning. So here we go:
Today’s album is the Sgt. Pepper’s of a genre not usually associated with the avant garde.
The producer recently released a note-for-note a cappella version of Captain Beefheart’s masterpiece Trout Mask Replica, so this is sort of a preview of that work.
Their other most famous recording is one where they took answering machine recordings and composed melodies based on the pitches of people’s speech. Spoiler: the title of that album, I Didn’t Know I Was Singing.
This one similarly takes the subject’s recorded voice and builds full band arrangements around their spontaneous compositions. The result is varied and unforgettable.
Genuinely catchy stuff here. I can’t wait to hear what you think.
Drinking recommendations?
Fruit Juice? Cereal and milk? Pure sunlight and dreams of youth?"
Right then. Download's here, stream's below:
See you 20:00 GMT later today.
