Three Lovely Reissues
7 Nov 2008, 19:11
Keep your ears out for these three, coming soon to last.fm...
Peter Gordon and "Blue" Gene Tyranny are long-time Lovely Music stalwarts, having contributed their talents to many a LML release: Peter Gordon has acted as producer for a few early Robert Ashley recordings; "Blue" Gene Tyranny is Robert Ashley's go-to pianist. Gordon and Tyranny have also collaborated in Gordon's Love of Life Orchestra (aka LOLO) and on Jill Kroesen's Stop Vicious Cycles. So, it's only fitting that when we dug into our vaults to give some classic Lovely LPs a new lease on life, we decided to release these three en masse.
Star Jaws is a panoply of art-pop, 60s folk revival, and 70s funk; an amalgam of downtown minimalism, new-wave synthesizers, and soulful sax solos; a musical snapshot of late 70s New York City.
Just for the Record is also a musical snapshot, but, in this instance, of West Coast postclassical music via Mills College: multiple-keyboard works by Robert Ashley, Phil Harmonic, Paul DeMarinis, and John Bischoff.
The Intermediary gathers all of "Blue's" musical impulses together in one, sweeping work for prose, improvisation, electronics, and piano. A program records, processes, and plays back the changed sounds so that "Blue" Gene must act as an "intermediary": both the sender and receiver of information.
