vhf #18 Rake Art Ensemble Of Rake/The Tell Tale Moog dbl
CD/7"
I guess double CD's of full-on mania are fairly common now, but at the time this package seemed pretty ambitions/nuts.
Art Ensemble
offers up 4 tracks which progress from hypnotic to bizarre to intricate to ambient in that
order. There is some fine free-playing here, shot through with a roughness that keeps it visceral.
Disc 2 takes a near random look through the Rake archives and turns up ear-splitting noise rock, tuneful jams, incompetent guitar
tuning, found sounds, long stretches stolen from other people's records, an angry
confrontation with a man about the parking lot of the Herndon Rec Center, 10 seconds of Dylan's "Stuck Inside Mobile w/The Memphis Blues
Again," and that's just for starters. Disc 1: 6 tracks, 67 minutes, Disc 2: 75
tracks, 74 minutes. The 7" was made to satisfy demand for a vinyl
version. What you get is Carl Mollers masterful deconstruction of an entire disc on
each side, providing a version of the rec you can listen to when youre in a hurry.
Dense. Fine hand screened cover by V, and just a few left. Of course, there's been just a few left for a while now, but it's still a fact, bro! 2xCD $12, 7" $2.50
