Reed Whistle And Sticks
This highly experimental work represents some early sound collages from this quirky British composer. Affiliated with the avant rock group Henry Cow, Anthony Moore's works are highly regarded in the experimental music scene thanks to his Flying Doesn't Help album from 1978, a cult masterpiece of avant rock which enjoyed a much higher profile in the underground than his debut. This could be attested to the abstract nature of this recording, which explored tape-loop repetitions that build slow-pha…

The form of solo would be appropriate to put it together" and he worked on the guitar solo as the first…

The first half (side A of the LP) is lined with carefully arranged medieval tunes, while the second half (side B of the LP) features improvised and free-spirited performances. This is a masterpiece that tips its hat to John's inquisitiveness for contemporary elements already in 1968. A must-listen for g…
