acid wash (track 9)
(Listen:
Pop-up)
|
Electric Venom | Midnight Snake | We emerge from the darkness of this set: reverbed guitar -> fuller sound and the rest of the band comes in, almost elegiacal and pretty (not like anything else they do!), but still rough and fuzzed. | ||||||

From August 10, 1959, on some of CBS radio network: 1st show of 10 that day. | (no label) |
Here's a quote from John Dunning's On The Air: The Encyclopedia Of Old Time Radio:
"But at their best, in their 1959 - 60 daily series for CBS, they were as funny and fresh, as clever and witty, as anyone who ever used the medium....Using no script...." |

L'Orient Est Roots (track 9: ended at -0:09)

Electric Gypsyland | Six Degrees | Smooth and dub-like. Idea behind the CD: get some of "today's most interesting electronic music producers" to reinterpret tracks from top gypsy brass bands.
