That sure as fuck isn't the album cover on the vinyl copy I just copped, but wtf ever.Dude is from Chi-city, is a part of 90 Day Men and has recorded with TV On The Radio. This is nothing like TVOTR, however. The write-up that Reckless did on this says "...it's three improvised tracks of psychedelic folk mantra/raga drone aktion. Culling the spirits of La Monte Young, Meredith Monk and John Fahey (I have no idea who those people are). It's a tour de force (I hate that phrase) of twilight meditation and eternal reflection. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED (they probably just say that to get you to buy it)."
Well worth my 16 duckets.

LaMonte Young's one of the fathers of drone minimalism -- he did the Dream Theatre with John Cale and Lou Reed, who went on to form the Velvet Underground. Meredith Monk's another minimalist composer, who I guess is best known for repetitive vocalizations ("baa baa baa baa baa" and stuff like that). John Fahey's a folk singer guy.
john fahey is a really amazing folk guitar player who pretty much invented the really intricate style of psychadelic finger picked folk that has resurged over the last couple of years (i.e. six organs of admittance.) not a folk singer. based on your tastes, fahey is someone you definitely need to check out

Wait a second, you don't know who La Monte Yong is?
Holy shit, man, you better get on that.
Hello I want to congratulate to them by its site of the Web of the excellent looks like entertained and very good very to me it elaborated. I invite them to that they explore a little on my Web site.
I hope you can still doing this. I mean, posting and searching useful things to share. I really appreciate this kind of information, specially when you add the main point about this music culture. The blog isn't bad, but you can change the style to written, is something poor and banal.
