Is there a more dynamic duo in the field of avantgarde reimaginings of cultural folklore? I think not. Truly some beautiful and soulful music, much less of an academic look into this particular world than some takes from their contemporaries; A homely offering.
That isn't to say that the vaguely generalized label I attributed to their so-called "contemporaries" (whom I probably couldn't name in the moment despite being sure of myself) is meant to diminish them in comparison. Tons of great music came from this arena of the avant music scene circa 80s.
You might recall the mesmerizing "Morning Song" from Fred Frith's encapsulating "Step Across The Border" verite film... It's in here!
I apologize a bit for the lack of activity for the past month or so, I got more stuff to post in time.
Very nice to read your words about this marvel - a long-time favorite. Like many, I first heard them in the film "Step Across the Border".
ReplyDeleteGreat album. Also check out Dunaj and their LP "Rosol". More of Fajts genius!
ReplyDeleteIt certainly is due for a relisten on my part
