Comments: Sealed copy; pretty much mint except for a tiny, tiny corner ding in upper left.
Superb original copy of this great drone/minimal LP featuring trombonist Peter Zummo, with contributions from Arthur Russell (cello), Rik Albani (trumpet), Bill Ruyle (marimba; tabla).
"Zummo's "Song IV" is pure manna, the sound of sublimity that erases the need for more sound. Tangentially, it's a 20-minute trio recording from 1985, yet such numbers feel feeble against its sound. There is no gauge of duration or where it slots in the discographies of its participants. There's a softness, a fragility to "Song IV", much like magnetic filaments or crystal structures, things that would dissolve if touched or dissected. It would be the sound of a Rothko painting, were such canvases portals denoting nirvana rather than the void. .... Song IV" feels without beginning or end, as if it's this state entered into rather than something structured and composed, and in its universe, so many tiny, amazing epiphanies happen. There's the way that Russell's wordless mumbles conjoin with what Zummo calls "lip multiphonics," or how a certain cello line will suddenly scale upward, or when Zummo sings through his horn an octave above Russell's own voice. And most beautiful of all, it's the sound of two dear friends in deep conversation, both in this world and beyond it." - Pitchfork
