Some words on this issue: DUB TAYLOR: “Lumiere For Synthesized & Concrete Sounds” (Varese International – VS-81001) Original 1973 1st pressing on BLUE wax. The 2nd press came out on black wax, so this one here is the copy to go for. Creel Pone/ Mimaroglu blurb: “This record is zonked. And by that I don’t mean that I can’t conjure up other adjectives (I most certainly can; fried, surrealist, inept, genius, etc...), just that I can’t get my head around describing what it is Mr. Taylor is doing exactly. It almost sounds like someone... as the Brits say “taking the piss” out of musique concrète... but then again there’s this twisted logic to the construction of the whole thing that’s just so... out... (i.e. “I know... let’s just pile everything up on top of itself and not edit it at all...”) - the sound-combinations so seemingly random that’s it’s hard to believe a conscious composer/technician type didn’t lay this to tape back in 1972. My favorite bits are when a voice comes in near the beginning, half-buried: “sounds good...” from there a wave of surging/burbling synths and filtered white noise let loose on the whole frequency range, leaving little in the way of... you know...“musical sense”...There are some bike-horns, what sounds like someone dialing in an fm radio (then leaving it between stations), a jet passing overhead, a guitar-amp feeding back while someone “snaps” into a microphone, etc... Sounds are panned hard left/right for entire sides at a time. Some backwards speaking kind of rises to the top, then it’s back to “normal”... and that’s just the first side...From here on out, any time someone plays me a record like the shaggs or y. bhekhirst, reveling in the fact that it got made in the first place, I’m going to play them this, as it’s so much better on an example. I’m just completely dumbfounded that the sentient folks over at Varese International went the distance...” Totally awe-inspiring and that is even putting it mildly here. Original 1st pressing on blue wax out of 1973. Price: 120 Euro
