Description
Otto Muehl "Aktions Analytische Musik 1" LP privately issued by Otto Muehl for his AA Verlag (0120095) in Austria, 1976. Gatefold sleeve with 20-page booklet. ****** Rec:m- Cov:m- ****** No words needed to introduce the grand mogul of all experimental art records… the never offered before "AAM1" by Otto Muehl in its original AA Verlag edition! Yes, you read it right… not the cheap unofficial edition recently issued by tasteless pirates, but the REAL ONE! And in MINT conditions too!!! The recordings herein date from 5 years into the Kommune’s lifespan, consisting of a selection of the Vienna group’s communal music-making sessions; while someone’s pounding away at a piano in an almost schlager-esque style, various members come forward with testimonials & stream-of-consciousness rants, often climaxing in a fury of screaming and breakdowns. All done in various states of undress, natch... needless to say it’s at once painful to listen to and wholly engrossing. Offering an incredible insight into the group’s mind-set. Crazy group-therapy sessions, improvised music with different Kommune members coming forward and 'singing' about their parents, free-sexuality, mister jealousy, and how two-people-relationships kill sex-life. The AAO (or AA-Komune) was first set up in a single-family house on the Praterstrasse in Vienna in 1970 by Otto Muehl, running semi-contiguously in locations throughout Vienna, Krefeld, Heidelberg, Geneva, and Berlin until Muehl’s imprisonment in 1991. Experiments in “free sexuality”, “communal economy”, “common production”, and “self-presentation” were carried out, and the group did all they could to distance themselves from the so-called “hippy communes”; they kept their heads shaved & adhered strictly to Muehl’s (often oversimplified) authoritarian rules, leading to its brandishing as a “psychosect”. Not for the light-hearted! ****** Liner notes in English, French and German. ****** The record looks like it has never been played.
