As an extra special Record Store Day exclusive Bella Union are delighted to announce the release of Super Chief by the legendary Van Dyke Parks. 'Super Chief' is a sumptuous collection of previously unreleased orchestral suites and film music recorded by the great man over the course of his extraordinary career. A few words by Van Dyke Parks himself. "Music for the Silver Screen! I've made an orchestral fantasy illustrating my first trip across the U.S.A. by rail, in 1955. This Suite is drawn from over a score of years, and as many films, now re-recorded from my archives as a film-music composer.. Most of this music has been faintly presented, under the din of horse hooves, gunplay, and voice-over. Much of it has never been heard at all, having ended up on editing room floors from entirely re-cut films, or movies that never made it past a box office. I felt it was high time to give it a proper listen. As I pondered the amazingly broad array of genres available, the challenge was what not to include. Quickly, it all simmered to clarify like butter, reducing to my impressions of that first epic rail-ride I took across the United States. In editing, I was surprised to discover my penchant for folk themes, reframed in orchestral settings. (There are countless quotes from the 19th century "The American Century"). The lingo of such traditional American music reveals my obsession, however unconscious, for rustic old saws that can still cut the wood. Yep, it's Americana. All made in the great 48. Celtic examples abound: "The Water is Wide", "Old Joe Clark", "The Forked Deer", "Saint Anne's Reel", "I Ride an Old Paint" etc. With these references, a dash of low-church hymns ("Goin' Home") and an occasional Aboriginal motif, all embedded in this novel and singular Ode to that passing American scene....so long ago, yet about a handshake away. As to the hyper-romanticism of this dream escape? Guilty as charged. And why not? My first impressions from the three days' journey that introduced it to me was pure romance.
