I think it's for real, though I'm guessing it's a multitrack recording that's been carefully mixed & EQ'ed in post to minimize noise -- it's definitely not a simple field recording. Several tracks actually do have little flurries of wind noise on them, though they're clearly recording through the pickups so you mainly just get the string vibrations.

Found this record in the KFJC new releases section in 95, have made many many copies for people since then

this is the best thing ever. Henry Cow live in concert w/ Dagmar Krause and Robert Wyatt. They perform Henry Cow/Slapp Happy's Bad Alchemy into an amazing version of Little Red Riding Hood w/ Wyatt and Krause haromy vocals.

jon, what's the Robert Wyatt cdr you have?

jaxon, it's just a cdr from tape trading days. no info beyond titles, probably just a quick radio session. here's the rest of it just to not break up the rest, it's definitely not the kind of thing you'd play to sell people on him, though it gets wonderfully silly by the last track: Rome Radio tracks 3-6

― milton parker (Jon L), Friday, 23 September 2005 21:13 (eighteen years ago) link

thx for the roedelius! i need to find thsoe somewhere. shit. the moebius stuff is good too

― amon (eman), Friday, 23 September 2005 21:19 (eighteen years ago) link

what is the name of the young disc? i've never been able to find his cds. "map of 49's dream yadda etcc." is blowing my mind

― amon (eman), Friday, 23 September 2005 21:26 (eighteen years ago) link

it's a cdr bootleg I found in amoeba LA -- color xerox packaging with a picture of the log cabin Young was born in on the cover, surrounded by huge titles: TONY CONRAD -- THEATRE OF ETERNAL MUSIC

which is funny.

The original thing was two discs, each one track, I put in track divisions and removed two additional 'Blues' tracks to fit it on one disc.

I've never heard the Shandar double album if anyone has a good transfer of that -- it's got a 40 minute version of "Map", also with Hassell but no Rosenboom or Konitz.

― milton parker (Jon L), Friday, 23 September 2005 21:37 (eighteen years ago) link

wow so someone "liberated" more tapes from youngs archives heheh. awesome. this is way better than that bootleg table of the elements put out.

― amon (eman), Friday, 23 September 2005 21:54 (eighteen years ago) link

there were many Young radio marathons, I've got two tapes from a KPFA one & that german 4 CD set that made the rounds two years ago, and there's no overlap in any of them.

the table of the elements release is confusing, I know several musicians who say that many people had copies, if only taped off the air, but still with better fidelity & music than 'Day of Niagra'. it almost felt like a conscious smear job from Conrad, putting out something so subpar -- 'everyone says your precious, legendary unreleased archive is so great, well I'm going to shame you into releasing some of it by putting out the fuzziest piece of whatever I can find'

― milton parker (Jon L), Friday, 23 September 2005 22:26 (eighteen years ago) link

I slsked some wicked young stuff, some from a 4 cd bootleg, like the 1957 excerpt of For Brass and other stuff that I have no idea where it's from. Worth searching for.

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Friday, 23 September 2005 22:42 (eighteen years ago) link

I found an original copy of the 2 LP Whatever Happens Next by Swell Maps a few weeks ago, near mint.. it's an official release of mostly demoes and live stuff. The live version of "Midget Submarines" KILLS! I'm digitizing that fucker and YSIing it for y'all once this weekend ends, and I can relax a bit.

― donut hallivallerieburtonelli omg lol (donut), Friday, 23 September 2005 22:57 (eighteen years ago) link

tony was not the person behind that release. that's quite offensive slander, and he's not like that.

― hstencil (hstencil), Friday, 23 September 2005 22:59 (eighteen years ago) link

I would be surprised if Mr. Conrad would take offense at that comment, and it's hardly slander when you bother to read the words 'almost felt'. No one's doubting Conrad's integrity here, if anyone's earned the right to give Young a tweak, it's him. And it's hardly that 'Day of Niagra' is bad -- it's just not as good as other readily available tapes.

Not surprised to learn it wasn't even Conrad behind the ToTE release, though.

― milton parker (Jon L), Friday, 23 September 2005 23:11 (eighteen years ago) link

actually, perhaps you know -- did he not even have a few scattered bootleg copies of the Eternal Music tapes, excerpts from radio festivals, etc.? Friends out here say they were readily available, but I shouldn't assume Conrad had any of them.

― milton parker (Jon L), Friday, 23 September 2005 23:20 (eighteen years ago) link

no, anything he might have had was wiped out when his storage area flooded in the 80s.

ouch

well I hope he's got copies of the bootlegs now, and I hope someone with half a sense of sanity starts managing Young's archives soon

yeah that VOL. is probably the weakest one...skatemaster tate and all....

― ddb (ddb), Saturday, 24 September 2005 00:11 (eighteen years ago) link

used to have a skatemaster tate tape... i think "skateboard shuffle" is the only song i can remotely remember tho and that's more cause it was in sfac.

Just ordered Vent de Guitares. Thanks very much for that. Do you know how they tuned the guitar strings?

― Sundar (sundar), Saturday, 24 September 2005 17:13 (eighteen years ago) link

I used to love this. I still think it's a great piece of music on it's own terms. Now I wonder, however, if there's something problematic about how prominent the guitars and electronics are next to the gamelan. Definitely worth a listen though, I think - Evan Ziporyn's "Tire Fire" with Gamelan Galak Tika:

Dominique: That may be the case. I'd wondered if JC stood for John Coltrane, given the sax (-like?) sounds. I haven't read the notes to the set.

― Sundar (sundar), Saturday, 24 September 2005 17:40 (eighteen years ago) link

Milton, thanks for all the great music. Did you still need Baby Sex?

*pause*

Er ...

This guy in Iraq is making glitch stuff using war sound samples. Poor guy is from New Orleans, too, so getting home might be difficult. His site has MP3s but for a buck apiece. Seeing as how he's getting shot at I don't feel like posting them here, but I thought I'd point you there if it interests you.

― Brakhage (brakhage), Sunday, 25 September 2005 04:51 (eighteen years ago) link

x-post you have no idea how badly I need Baby Sex

Sundar: each track on the CD is composed with a different open tuning, the tunings are provided in the liner notes along with some incredible pictures of the installation.
