Description
This is the third of an exciting bunch of rarities I'm selling this week. Another real collector's item.
Original 1972 UK pressing on Caroline, the avant garde division of Virgin Records, UK. During the 1960s, Tony Conrad was a member of La Monte Young's Theater of Eternal Music, a.k.a. The Dream Syndicate, a performance group dedicated to the creation and exploration of drone music. Outside the Dream Syndicate consists of two lengthy tracks, each over 20 minutes long and taking up entire sides of the record. On the first, "From the Side of Man and Womankind," Conrad's violin slowly builds a layer of drones over a bass/drums rhythm section that is Kraftwerkian in its simplicity. The second track, "From the Side of the Machine," is more dynamic and alluring than the first, as the drums and bass have a freer rein, the violins sound less tremulous, synthesizers become rather prominent, and the rhythm gradually increases in tempo.
It may appeal to fans of Amon Duul, Pink Floyd, Harmonia, Embryo, Curly Curve, Spermull, Diabolus, Spirogyra, Guru Guru, gash, Rufus, Shameti, Thirsty Moon, Os Mundi, Cornucopia, Neu!, Brainticket, Wolgang Dauner, Cluster, Kluster, Electric Sandwich, Conrad Schnitzler, Satin Whale, Zweistein, Grobschnitt, Yatha Sidhra, garage, psych, progressive, John Cage, Pierre Henry, musique concrete, Broken Music, Stockhausen, Xenakis, AMM, David Tudor, Pierre Schaeffer, Trevor Wishart, Henri Chopin, Joseph Beuys, Nam June Paik, Yoshi Wada, Terry Riley, Alvin Curran, Eimert, Riedl, Parmegiani, Stockhausen, Xenakis, La Monte Young, Toniutti, Nurse with wound, Asmus Tietchens, Zoviet France, Hafler Trio, John Duncan, Merzbow, Organum and similar!
