It was not the best introduction, but it was nothing that wasn’t quickly overcome with a little wine and some beautiful music.</p> <p>I’ve seen advertisements for these <i>Candlelight</i> events for some time now and had been meaning to check them out, so an evening dedicated to the songs of <i>The Beatles</i> was a natural nudge to follow through. The formula for these events, presented by Fever, is simple enough: select music, pick a classy venue, hire the musicians, surround the stage with electric candles, provide alcohol, and you have a show. It’s a simple concept, but it works, and at the event I saw, it was the passion of the string quartet on the stage that really made the evening.</p> <p>Adapting classic rock to the confines of the quartet worked well, as did the curtsey of the Seattle String Quartet. Eli Weinberger made up the rhythm section, playing pizzicato on the cello with passionate precision, offering up visceral feelings while keeping the beat. First violin, Vanessa Moss, also shows her skill, flying through some of the busier licks and runs. The arrangements for the evening were made by the in-house Music Curation team and adapted by the performing musicians themselves. Some songs make the transition better than others, but the selections that really work help bring out unique qualities in the songs. For example, in the polyphonic conclusion of "All You Need Is Love," the four string players divide up the referenced pieces and overlap them nicely, providing a crisp perspective on the brilliance of this ending. Then you have "Eleanor Rigby," which was recorded with a string quartet, giving us the opportunity to hear this beautiful piece as it was originally intended.</p> <p>The whole experience was a very relaxed and enjoyable evening. It lasted roughly 60 minutes, a perfect amount of time to sip wine, revel in the music, hold hands with your partner, or share a table with some friends. I would happily do it again.</p> </div> <section> <h2>Add new comment</h2> <drupal-render-placeholder callback="comment.lazy_builders:renderForm" arguments="0=node&amp;1=4417&amp;2=comment_node_story&amp;3=comment_node_story" token="gd74tfsig__T4oEbMIQgmaz_YpVWNpHHnNIfRQTUwKc"></drupal-render-placeholder> </section> Tue, 11 Feb 2025 02:20:03 +0000 C.

I was first introduced to Mike by a mutual friend, Susan DePalma, in the afternoon of one of our annual 12-hour New Year's Day parties in the West Village. Susan had a Cheshire Cat grin when she got my attention by saying, "There's someone I think you will be very interested to meet." When I turned, I had to look up, and at the same time, I heard the words "Mike Ratledge"— I went weak in the knees and almost fell backward; such was the power of the man's presence. This was probably 1995.  Mike eventually left after a few hours, but then much later returned, saying this was the best party around, and proceeded to lose at Backgammon versus my 12-year-old daughter (the more sober player at that point). Thanks to Susan we kept in touch and got to talk about our respective endeavors. In one such moment in a typical Ratledge <i>bon-mots,</i> he said of my persona as a consultant, "So you really don't <i>undertake</i> anything; you’re just the <i>undertaker.</i>"</p> <p>The last time I saw Mike in person was at his club in London, a properly wood-paneled dark warren of well-worn Chesterfield sofas and clouds of cigarette smoke. It was probably the second bottle of wine when I realized that the man was a technical genius who just happened to also be rendering his own translation of Francois Villon's love poetry. Back then, metadata was not as commonplace as now, but he was annotating interactive CDs with fine-grained metadata covering session players and recording dates. To say he was a virtuoso conversationalist is like saying Bucky Fuller was laconic.</p> <p>The bottom line was that I was fortunate enough to be an acquaintance of the post-Softs Ratledge, and astute enough to heed the man who had contributed so mightily to the canon of a music that today is generalized as the Canterbury Scene.</p> <p>The first time I heard Soft Machine (many fans refer to as The Softs) was in my friend Jeff Ryan's basement, during our weed-infused after-school listening sessions surrounded by Jeff's walls of vinyl. <i>Volume One</i> was at the time unique, and remains so to this day.  Emerging at the moment when LPs with continuous sides were starting to become a thing, it was the product of the original and short-lived lineup of Kevin Ayers (whose <a href="https://youtu.be/5MGLQCceVCI?si=LiHJV7KUPMMpVV-T"><i>Joy of a Toy</i></a><i> </i>stands as one of the greatest electric bass solos of the era), guitarist Daevid Allen (who would go on to form the anarchic assemblage under the name Gong), and the combination of Ratledge and Robert Wyatt on drums and vocals that gave voice to Ratledge's brilliantly scored compositions. Exemplary in all aspects, including volatility, this original line-up lasted long enough to blow people’s minds, and importantly for me, earn a spot as the opener for the Jimi Hendrix Experience North American tour of 1968.</p> <div class="video-embed-field-provider-youtube video-embed-field-responsive-video form-group"><iframe width="854" height="480" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/UXK_wnVA_WY?autoplay=0&amp;start=0&amp;rel=0"></iframe> </div> <p>This was the one and only live performance of Soft Machine I was privileged to attend. Yes, Jimi set fire to his Strat. The Foxboro Arena is just that, so the nuances of the Softs’ music was lost but what boomed out in its place was <a href="https://youtu.be/UobaL1aCdUM?si=YyvaLF-pG275ZG4A">Mike Ratledge's Hammond B3 on drugs</a>—fuzz and wah-wah underneath industrial grade percussion (an organ setting pioneered by Jimmy Smith and Larry Young).  So who else could make an organ trio fit in perfectly with Jimi Hendrix? The answer is Mike Ratledge.</p> <p>The tour was followed by a reconstituted band with the great Hugh Hopper on bass that was convened to fulfill a contract, resulting in <i>Volume Two. </i>The same joyous vocals, the breakneck changes and edits, and the seductive melodies propelling highly literate lyrics (if anyone else knows songs about Alfred Jarry's Pataphysics please let me know) remain singular sonic monuments. That came out in 1969, post-Hendrix—there is a line in <i>Have You Ever Bean Green</i> that starts: "Thank you Noel and Mitch…." And ends with the sound of what is reported to be Jimi's motorcycle.</p> <p>Depending on what demographic you talk to, kaleidoscopic 1969 can be characterized many ways.  In the celebration of Mike Ratledge's achievements, it can be described as an invisible but massive hinge that opens up into another way to imagine and play music, especially from a keyboard player's perspective. Consider the releases that feature distorted organ: Larry Young, organist in the supergroup Lifetime led by drummer Tony Williams and featuring a blistering John McLaughlin on the debut album <i>Emergency</i>. Or, speaking of McLaughlin, Miles Davis' bombshell double-LP set <i>Bitches Brew</i> featuring Chick Corea, Larry Young, and Joe Zawinul. Pedals for keyboards come into wide use about this time, several years after Mike had been using them in early performances.</p> <p>When I asked Mike about the sound he got from the B3 he obliquely referred to was-was pedals and (this may be a reference to the banshee sounds in <i>Third)</i> scraping tone-wheels inside the Hammond.</p> <div class="video-embed-field-provider-youtube video-embed-field-responsive-video form-group"><iframe width="854" height="480" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/t49ey1t-7ec?autoplay=0&amp;start=0&amp;rel=0"></iframe> </div> <p>That's the context for the next transition of Soft Machine. No more "Volume" in the title, just the number. Soft Machine <i>Third</i>, a double-LP set, dropped in 1970. The inside photo is a living-room shot of the band relaxing with some port and, well, reportedly tripping. <i> Third </i>is to Soft Machine what <i>Bitches</i> is to Miles, an arrival from beyond the solar system. Key to the transformation is the influx of trained jazz players bringing colors that diffuse an ethereal yet at times acid mood using a mix of violin, trombone, bass clarinet, flute—not your average instrumentation in 1969 unless your Brian Wilson. <i>Third</i> is also notable for the arrival of Elton Dean on alto and saxello (a kind of bent soprano). What followed were two more albums (you can guess the titles by now). This is seen as the "jazz" period of the Softs, with a floating pool of musicians all playing their asses off in the company of Ratledge and Hopper. It is rarely heard on the air.</p> <p>Collectively, these five albums constitute the canon of Mike Ratledge in his incarnation as Soft Machine, at least for me. They also remain in a class alone as the greatest rock music that most people have not heard. Twelve sides propelled by the genius of a creative giant who left it all out there for us, who can only marvel.</p> </div> <section> <h2>Add new comment</h2> <drupal-render-placeholder callback="comment.lazy_builders:renderForm" arguments="0=node&amp;1=4415&amp;2=comment_node_story&amp;3=comment_node_story" token="WalDaWANu188zJDup2qik7CYg52gxaWNq6nTghcp6lU"></drupal-render-placeholder> </section> Sat, 08 Feb 2025 22:41:26 +0000 Mark Plakias 4415 at http://culturecatch.com In Memoriam Elliot Ingber (8/24/1941 - 1/21/2025) http://culturecatch.com/node/4411 <span>In Memoriam Elliot Ingber (8/24/1941 - 1/21/2025)</span> <span><a title="View user profile." href="/user/7162" lang="" about="/user/7162" typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype="">Gary Lucas</a></span> <span>January 31, 2025 - 18:14</span> <div class="field field--name-field-topics field--type-entity-reference field--label-inline"> <div class="field--label">Topics</div> <div class="field--items"> <div class="field--item"><a href="/music" hreflang="en">Music Review</a></div> </div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-tags field--type-entity-reference field--label-inline"> <div class="field--label">Tags</div> <div class="field--items"> <div class="field--item"><a href="/taxonomy/term/553" hreflang="en">celebrity obit</a></div> </div> </div> <div class="field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field--item"><p><meta charset="UTF-8" /></p> <figure role="group" class="embedded-entity align-center"><article><img alt="Thumbnail" class="img-responsive" height="652" src="/sites/default/files/styles/width_1200/public/2025/2025-01/mean_e_2.jpeg?itok=4nKQ2ax_" title="mean_e_2.jpeg" typeof="foaf:Image" width="480" /></article><figcaption>‘MEAN E” drawing of Elliot Ingber by Don Van Vliet*</figcaption></figure><p>"The Winged Eel slithers on the heels of today's children." - Don Van Vliet, "Beatle Bones' n' Smokin' Stones"<meta charset="UTF-8" /></p> <p>Elliot Ingber (or Winged Eel Fingerling as he was known during his time with Captain Beefheart and the Magic Band) has the distinction of being one of the only of celebrated guitarists who passed through the ranks of The Magic Band to enjoy total freedom—free reign, as it were—to improvise extended psychedelic guitar solos by Don Van Vliet, a band leader notorious for insisting that his musicians pretty much stick to the notes and forms laid down in their marathon rehearsals. </p> <p>Elliot is probably best known on wax for his slithering, snaky psychedelic guitar lines on 11972's The<i> Spotlight Kid </i>album—especially on "I'm Gonna Booglarize You, Baby" and the instrumental "Alice in Blunderland." I had the unenviable task during my tenure in the first touring iteration of The Magic Band circa 2002-2003 of attempting to replicate—if not all of the notes (which would have been impossible, as Elliot was capable of producing a veritable geyser of bluesy note splatter at any given moment)—but at the least, the FEEL of this titan of blues guitar on our live shows. </p> <div class="video-embed-field-provider-youtube video-embed-field-responsive-video form-group"><iframe width="854" height="480" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ucA3q5VCQW0?autoplay=0&amp;start=0&amp;rel=0"></iframe> </div> <p>I think I pretty much lived up to the challenge at hand, especially on the latter number, in my own style. To have tried to reproduce these solos exactly and in Elliot's own peculiar phrasing would have been sheer folly.  </p> <p>Elliot also has the distinction—along with Denny Walley—of being one of the only guitarists in the Magic Band to also play with Frank Zappa, and he can be heard all over Zappa's <em>Freak Out</em> album, where Frank affectionately describes him in his liner notes:</p> <blockquote> <p>"Elliot digs the blues. He has a big dimple in his chin. We made him grow a beard to cover it up. He just got out of the Army. Lucky for the Army."</p> </blockquote> <p>In fact, Elliot goes way back to the early rock 'n' roll recording days in LA. He was part of Phil Spector's inner circle at Fairfax High School in the mid-'50s—a group of far-reaching and far-ranging musicians and record people that included in their august ranks producer Lou Adler, drummer Sandy Nelson, Beach Boy Bruce Johnston, Canned Heat's bassist Larry Taylor, and The Wrecking Crew's saxophonist Steve Douglas.</p> <div class="video-embed-field-provider-youtube video-embed-field-responsive-video form-group"><iframe width="854" height="480" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/J1joLe0KpYc?autoplay=0&amp;start=0&amp;rel=0"></iframe> </div> <p>Elliot was in the first band to have a song title about LSD back in 1961—the B-side of The Gamblers' first single, "Moon Dawg!"—their classic proto-surf instrumental, "LSD-25<i>."</i></p> <p>Elliot earlier was also a member of Kip Tyler and the Flips, a rocking teen combo that struck it big in Los Angeles in 1957 with the visionary single: "She's My Witch."</p> <div class="video-embed-field-provider-youtube video-embed-field-responsive-video form-group"><iframe width="854" height="480" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/pQ3yEuPbUI8?autoplay=0&amp;start=0&amp;rel=0"></iframe> </div> <p>And he can be heard on the twangy guitar behind Phil Spector's own smooth Barney Kessel-inspired playing of Phil's instrumental single (released under the name Phil Harvey) 1959's classic, "Bumbershoot," which Elliot performed  live at various sock hops and roller rink events with Spector: </p> <div class="video-embed-field-provider-youtube video-embed-field-responsive-video form-group"><iframe width="854" height="480" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/fQ9KOnZNK_M?autoplay=0&amp;start=0&amp;rel=0"></iframe> </div> <p>Perhaps my favorite iteration of Elliot Ingber is with his own band, the trippy and adventurous beat combo The Fraternity of Man, for whom he penned, with lead singer Lawrence "Stash" Wagner, the immortal Floyd Cramer-ish song, "Don't Bogart That Joint," as famously heard on the soundtrack of <i>Easy Rider.</i></p> <p>Elliot is all over their first album for ABC-Dunhill, produced by Tom Wilson. My favorite track is "In the Morning," with its incendiary feedback rave-up double-time guitar break:</p> <div class="video-embed-field-provider-youtube video-embed-field-responsive-video form-group"><iframe width="854" height="480" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/JGJpxVAMyko?autoplay=0&amp;start=0&amp;rel=0"></iframe> </div> <p>(Special mention goes to their second guitarist, Warren Klein; no slouch on guitar either).</p> <p>I first saw him with Beefheart and the boys on Jan. 26th, 1971, on Night One of Don's historic three-night stand at Ungano's, a little club on Central Park West.</p> <p>Elliot came out after the opening bass solo and absolutely ripped into "Alice in Blunderland," while the rest of the band came out and joined in one by one. </p> <div class="video-embed-field-provider-youtube video-embed-field-responsive-video form-group"><iframe width="854" height="480" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/H_UOPME-c3o?autoplay=0&amp;start=0&amp;rel=0"></iframe> </div> <p>He wasn't in that lineup long, jumping ship shortly after this show on the grounds that he couldn't maintain his patented healthy food regimen while on tour.</p> <p>A year later, on January 21st, 1972, I was lucky enough to speak with Elliot backstage at Captain Beefheart's concert at Yale University's Woolsey Hall. </p> <p>Elliot was sitting by himself in the dressing room apart from the rest of the band, keeping still and peering into the cosmos with his patented spacy Thousand Yard Stare. </p> <p>I began by complimenting him on his playing on <i>The Spotlight Kid</i> album and then asked him what he thought of Jeff Beck—then as now, probably my favorite guitarist.</p> <p>Elliot looked up with his hawk-like profile, stared at me with his intense gaze… and then said in a low, measured voice:</p> <p>"He released an album called <i>Truth</i>.</p> <p><em>(long pause)</em></p> <p>It was THE TRUTH."</p> <p>Elliot then went out there with Don and the Magic Band (on that tour consisting of Bill Harkleroad, Mark Boston, and Artie Tripp)—and proceeded to KICK ASS on his Les Paul Junior when given his solo spots. He was particularly on fire on their closing number, "Alice in Blunderland," stretching out with a lengthy and incendiary guitar solo.</p> <p>Elliot was even better a few weeks later at the Academy of Music on 14th Street in Manhattan, when Captain Beefheart and the Magic Band appeared sandwiched between an unknown solo Billy Joel (who we heckled—sorry!) and the headlining J. Geils Band. </p> <p>That was the last I saw of Elliot live.</p> <p>I heard he quit music and became a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliot_Ingber">postman</a> in LA. He lived a mainly solitary life in a small apartment in downtown Hollywood filled with stacks and stacks of old magazines and newspapers.</p> <p>Don told me that Elliot called him once in his post-Magic Band phase and told him: "I've learned and can play every note of <i>Trout Mask Replica</i>, Don!"</p> <p>But he never played with Don again, sad to say.</p> <p>R.I.P.

(Never did get to see them, dammit!). But I was an old friend and former colleague at CBS Records of Jim's widow, the late Patricia Kennealy-Morrison, and once backed her when she read from some of Jim's unpublished erotic poetry at a tribute to Jim held at the Bowery Poetry Club, which also included my old friend Lenny Kaye.</p> <p>My best Doors story, though, concerns Jim's grave. </p> <p>In August 1997, I was staying in Paris, working on some new songs with French pop star/actress Elli Medeiros, who lived a stone's throw from Père-Lachaise. One day, I decided to head over there (the boneyard) and pay my respects to Jim at his graveside.</p> <p>Arriving at the Cemetery Gates, I scanned a map hanging on a wall nearby that indicated the locations of the most famous celebrity graves (and there are tons of famous dead people buried there—including Edith Piaf, Simone Signoret, Isadora Duncan, Max Ophuls, Maria Callas, Michel Legrand, Marcel Marceau, Oscar Wilde, Chopin, Moliere, Proust, Colette, and Sarah Bernhardt—for starters).</p> <div class="video-embed-field-provider-youtube video-embed-field-responsive-video form-group"><iframe width="854" height="480" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/sO6ouK39mf8?autoplay=0&amp;start=0&amp;rel=0"></iframe> </div> <p>But not knowing the layout of the cemetery, I had my doubts as to where exactly, according to this map, I would find Jim's grave. It was bloody confusing. Suddenly, a swarm of young boys and girls swept past me loudly, yelling and running pell-mell in a mad dash—there must have been at least 75-100 kids—all hell-bent on finding the grave of JIM.</p> <p>I knew instinctively that all I needed to do was to follow them and they would lead me to it.</p> <p>They did not disappoint. They knew EXACTLY where Jim Morrison was buried. And arriving at his plot below, they ringed his grave at least five kids deep, and I had to fight my way to the front of their ranks to catch my glimpse of the grave.</p> <p>Now, who were these mysterious kids—this flock of kinders out for a gander at the graveside??</p> <p>Turns out the then Pope John Paul II had flown into Paris that very morning from Poland with hundreds of young followers in tow to cheer him on at a big convocation the following day in Paris: </p> <div class="video-embed-field-provider-youtube video-embed-field-responsive-video form-group"><iframe width="854" height="480" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/6TnQ7gGuX14?autoplay=0&amp;start=0&amp;rel=0"></iframe> </div> <p>And the first thing these fine young Catholic kids wanted to do once they got to Paris was to visit the grave of JIM MORRISON!!</p> <p>(A good example of the Manichean Duality is here, in which the Profane conquers the Sacred. Or viewed from another angle, the triumph of the spirit of Dionysus over the spirit of Apollo.)</p> <p>Whether or not these kids had the blessings of the Pope in their group activity, I do not know.</p> <p>But I kind of doubt it.</p> <p><em>Written on the 81st anniversary of the birthday of Jim Morrison (Dec. 8th, 1943).</em></p> </div> <section> <h2>Add new comment</h2> <drupal-render-placeholder callback="comment.lazy_builders:renderForm" arguments="0=node&amp;1=4396&amp;2=comment_node_story&amp;3=comment_node_story" token="QDxQQTnEjZ1cJwWg246LdxoWQ6-mGq2FxjjhSeHrrUg"></drupal-render-placeholder> </section> Thu, 12 Dec 2024 19:22:07 +0000 Gary Lucas 4396 at http://culturecatch.com Timelessly Timely http://culturecatch.com/node/4394 <span>Timelessly Timely</span> <span><a title="View user profile." href="/user/460" lang="" about="/user/460" typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype="">Robert Cochrane</a></span> <span>December 7, 2024 - 17:24</span> <div class="field field--name-field-topics field--type-entity-reference field--label-inline"> <div class="field--label">Topics</div> <div class="field--items"> <div class="field--item"><a href="/music" hreflang="en">Music Review</a></div> </div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-tags field--type-entity-reference field--label-inline"> <div class="field--label">Tags</div> <div class="field--items"> <div class="field--item"><a href="/taxonomy/term/792" hreflang="en">dream pop</a></div> </div> </div> <div class="field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field--item"><p><meta charset="UTF-8" /></p> <div class="video-embed-field-provider-youtube video-embed-field-responsive-video form-group"><iframe width="854" height="480" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/tJ7tr1MZ_Xo?autoplay=0&amp;start=0&amp;rel=0"></iframe> </div> <p><a href="https://youtu.be/VY9PZvK6CZs?si=CaZBEccL7v698PQR"><strong>POPPYCOCK -<em> Magic Mothers</em> (Tiny GLOBAL Productions CD &amp; Vinyl)</strong></a></p> <p>Good things come to they who wait, and the wait for Poppycock's debut has been so long, that at times it seemed unlikely that the expectations would ever be fulfilled. The brainchild of former original Fall member Una Baines, the band operate in a folk and indie ethos, with a sprinkling of jazzy blues. Feminist and reflective, they hark back to a time when pop had educational aspects, providing food for thought. Subtle and challenging they have delivered a strangely shrewd and inspiring collection. Melodic, quirky and with references so varied, the album operates in its own time zone, though it could have arrived in any decade since the sixties. Their wonderful slab of ironic adulation, the single <a href="https://poppycockmanc.bandcamp.com/album/iggy-pop">"Iggy Pop,"</a> though absent here, was a perfect indication of what would await within<em> Magic Mothers</em>. A pop song about a pop star. Pop goes the easel!</p> <p><em>Magic Mothers</em> strolls into view with "Let It Out." It's a madrigal of reflective grace, a gossamer, silken song of immense elegance and power. A hymn to the elemental link to nature, to being a part of the planet, an urban or suburban weaving of threads.</p> <p>"Primeval cry, the shrieking birth</p> <p> The will to cherish, this precious earth</p> <p> Let it out. time to let it out"</p> <p>"Song For Jean" is blues with a North of England twist, an elegy of remembrance of dark satanic mills relocated to a New Orleans bar. Poignant and assured.</p> <p>"NDE" or "Near Death Experience" presents a coy, tongue in chic, keyboard based piece of superlative sixties themed irony. Best revealed by the repetition of the line "The day my keyboard exploded." Pop irony with a wry smile. Within "Lizardman" there's a throbbing sense of menace, an almost gothic feel in the bass line, and the searing organ motif. It has a hypnotic mantra-like ethos.</p> <p>"Gaslighting" presents an elegant sense of challenge and defiance in a casually laconic, melodic setting.</p> <p>"Gaslighting</p> <p> I'm not biting</p> <p> You can't rewrite my history</p> <p> Trying to persuade me</p> <p> You never hurt me"</p> <p>In "Trinity" there's a strummed Velvet Underground aspect lacing the challenging lyric, melody and malevolence combine. An influence Baines rightfully earned from the days when her band The Blue Orchids were Nico's backing band. There's a graceful folk element that gifts the song a timely timelessness.</p> <p>"Virgin/ Mother/Hag</p> <p> Washing your ancient rag</p> <p> Seed/Fruit Leaf</p> <p> Banish the ancient thief"</p> <p>"Hel" is a starkly faltering and honest song. A prayer and a plea for better things and kinder times. It's a cross between Laurel Canyon wistfulness and tranquil Glastonbury mellowness, but with an urban edge.</p> <p>"A good man I used to know</p> <p> ended his life one day</p> <p> He wanted what must of us want</p> <p> A world where there'll be fair play."</p> <div class="video-embed-field-provider-youtube video-embed-field-responsive-video form-group"><iframe width="854" height="480" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/7sa44ySXUuQ?autoplay=0&amp;start=0&amp;rel=0"></iframe> </div> <p>"Magic Mothers" has a sassy angry vibe in sync with a persistent but catchy drum beat, it packs a solid rhythmic punch, with an unflinchingly direct lyric, and a strangely unsettling keyboard motif.</p> <p>"I Am a Feminista. I am your sacred Sister</p> <p> No Means No! Stop means Stop!</p> <p> You mutter. I utter. You mutter.</p> <p> I utter. You Mutter. I utter."</p> <p>"Iron Age Dance" is tremendous. It's a funk, punk and jazz collision with rap--a mixed up sermon in a variety of languages, a collage of reflective musings. Beat poetry and found conversations. A perfect curtain closer.</p> <p><em>Magic Mothers</em> wears a pastoral sensibility in an concrete and tarmac setting; the grit that creates a pearl. Here's hoping that we won't have as long to wait for a sequel, but for now languish in the pleasure of a uniquely inspired tapestry of thoughtful delights.</p> </div> <section> <h2>Add new comment</h2> <drupal-render-placeholder callback="comment.lazy_builders:renderForm" arguments="0=node&amp;1=4394&amp;2=comment_node_story&amp;3=comment_node_story" token="xioIPBcjidVYSgpk_yzbM2GaPZOcRWZEMIRShsH18KM"></drupal-render-placeholder> </section> Sat, 07 Dec 2024 22:24:53 +0000 Robert Cochrane 4394 at http://culturecatch.com A Correspondence Revisited & Resumed http://culturecatch.com/node/4392 <span>A Correspondence Revisited &amp; Resumed</span> <span><a title="View user profile." href="/user/460" lang="" about="/user/460" typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype="">Robert Cochrane</a></span> <span>December 5, 2024 - 18:31</span> <div class="field field--name-field-topics field--type-entity-reference field--label-inline"> <div class="field--label">Topics</div> <div class="field--items"> <div class="field--item"><a href="/music" hreflang="en">Music Review</a></div> </div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-tags field--type-entity-reference field--label-inline"> <div class="field--label">Tags</div> <div class="field--items"> <div class="field--item"><a href="/taxonomy/term/953" hreflang="en">new wave</a></div> </div> </div> <div class="field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field--item"><p><meta charset="UTF-8" /></p> <p> </p> <article class="embedded-entity"><img src="/sites/default/files/styles/width_1200/public/2024/2024-12/polydor_years_peter_godwin.jpg?itok=HZguUJuq" width="1200" height="1369" alt="Thumbnail" title="polydor_years_peter_godwin.jpg" typeof="foaf:Image" class="img-responsive" /></article><p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Polydor-Years-Peter-Godwin/dp/B0DBL6L383" target="_blank"><strong>PETER GODWIN <em>The Polydor Years</em> (SFE/Cherry Red)</strong></a></p> <p>By the time singer-songwriter Peter Godwin formed Metro with the late Duncan Browne, it was 1976, and they were late, last-gasp arrivals of the kind of sartorial Glam embodied by David Bowie, Bryan Ferry, and John Howard. Their debut is mannered, eloquent, and sophisticated, flagrant defiance for the rising hordes of gob-fuelled sneers from the rise of the Punk evolution. </p> <p>David Bowie covered their "banned by the BBC" single "Criminal World" on <em>Let's Dance</em>. It was considered too risqué on account of its theme of sexual ambiguity. Browne departed after the first album to pursue a successful solo career, whilst Godwin, not a man to admit defeat, steered Metro into a thin tie and suited New Wave/Art Rock combo that produced two further superlative albums and a handful of sought-after singles, including the classic "America In My Head." He disbanded the group as the new decade began; they bowed out via a gig on Valentine's Day. 1981, at the Rainbow in London. Depeche Mode and Ultravox were also on the bill. Godwin would pursue his own solo ambitions, signing to Polydor Records later that year.</p> <div class="video-embed-field-provider-youtube video-embed-field-responsive-video form-group"><iframe width="854" height="480" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/hLlVG9gX26w?autoplay=0&amp;start=0&amp;rel=0"></iframe> </div> <p>Although usually labeled as "Electro-Synth," Godwin transcends that lazy categorization. Of course, there are several elements of accuracy, but his bittersweet lyrics betray worldly darkness, glass shards in the glitter, as deployed in the single "Emotional Disguise."</p> <p>"Too many love affairs that didn't turn out right</p> <p> Too many battlegrounds and tears that end in fights</p> <p> A mirror shattered by the pain that's in your heart</p> <p> A close embrace that made us feel apart"</p> <p>Godwin remembers: "One night in Manhattan, 1983, the legendary Jellybean Benitez invited me and Madonna and Ralf Hutter (from Kraftwerk) to The Funhouse for a Godwin soiree featuring 'Emotional Disguise' spun back to back in all its versions. Jellybean's favorite of mine, and we watched the kids from the Bronx breakdancing to it. It was so surreal!"</p> <p>There's a distinctly European flavor to Godwin's debut album <em>Dance Emotions</em>, released in 1982. It is a strange hybrid of songs that could be from a sadly imaginary Parisian noir movie that smacks of Kraftwerk on Prozac. His debut single, "Torch Songs For The Heroine," was produced by Midge Ure and has a catchy gloominess. The rest of the affair was diligently overseen by Georg Kajanus (Eclection/Sailor/Data). It remains a perfect catwalk calling card that exemplifies its times whilst effortlessly transcending them. There is also a wonderful plethora of remixes as bonus tracks gathered together for the first time in a punishment of gaudy riches.</p> <div class="video-embed-field-provider-youtube video-embed-field-responsive-video form-group"><iframe width="854" height="480" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/e3IoxdBw77g?autoplay=0&amp;start=0&amp;rel=0"></iframe> </div> <p>1983 saw the release of <em>Correspondence</em>, again with Georg Kajanus at the controls. It is a dynamic affair I covered previously here, and needless to say, my positive review hasn't changed. "Baby's In The Mountains" remains a scintillating single, a floor filler still, aided and abetted by Carol Kenyon's astonishing vocal contribution. Epic, and then some. Again, a copious abundance of remixes as additional material bolsters this overdue arrival in the digital age. The songs still provoke the urge to boogie. A sense of Studio 54 and poppers in the air. </p> <p>Frustratingly, it was to be Godwin's final release for many years. In the interim, he has seldom been idle, having acted, produced other artists, and collaborated with Steve Winwood on two albums. A new project, RE/GENERATION with Leah Lane of Rosegarden Funeral Party, betrays that he has lost none of his stylistic edge.</p> <p>In a world where more seems never to be sufficient, <em>The Polydor Years</em> confirms the value of a selective creative approach.

I hung out alot with him, Doug Wimbish and Skip McDonald (basically, the Sugarhill Gang) in their loft on 14th Street off 7th Avenue in the early '80s—and I put a few of their records out on vinyl mixed by my pal dubmeister extraordinaire Adrian Sherwood (Fats Comet's "Stormy Weather," a Mark Stewart + Maffia compilation, Che's "Be My Power Station") through the indie label Upside Records, who I was doing A&amp;R for part time.</p> <p>Keith, Skip, and Doug encouraged me to really start writing and playing on my own steam after Don Van Vliet (Captain Beefheart) quit music for a career as a full-time painter—and Keith and Skip helped organize my first ever first studio recording made under my own name, "King Strong"—recorded and mixed at Unique Studios in midtown back in 1985.</p> <div class="video-embed-field-provider-youtube video-embed-field-responsive-video form-group"><iframe width="854" height="480" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/YPsSOwE_B5o?autoplay=0&amp;start=0&amp;rel=0"></iframe> </div> <p>Keith did all the drum programming as well as playing live drums on the track, which also features my two bassists of that time, Jared Michael Nickerson and Paul Nowinski. He even was in Gods and Monsters for a short spell--I recall a live gig we did at the old Knitting Factory on Leonard Street. I think the track came out spectacularly well thanks to Keith’;s visionary touch, and it got played alot back in the day on WFMU, WNYU, and other college stations simply off cassette copies I circulated. Eventually in 1992 the track finally appeared on CD, closing my album <em>Gods and Monsters</em> (Enemy Records, which received a 4-Star Review in <em>Rolling Stone</em>)—and it is also on my recent double CD best-of album <em>The Essential Gary Lucas</em> (Knitting Factory Records).</p> <p>Keith was a real creative force of nature. He hit the drums harder than anyone I knew, as well as becoming a total master of sample drum programming. The heavy sampled drum sounds he and Adrian came up with sound like sledgehammers to the brain, ICBM misses going off, or more appositely, like Roman rowing-masters beating out the pounding rhythms for galley slaves in a trireme bound across the Mediterranean for a naval engagement with the Spartans.</p> <p>Keith was also blessed with a heavy sense of radical compassion for sufferers far worse off than the exploitative music biz sharks he and his loft mates were forced to swim with, in order to effect the release of their records, which he once described to me as "basically the news set to beats."</p> <p>Certainly visionary tracks like Keith's masterpiece <em>Malcolm X: No Sell Out</em>—which samples Malcolm's voice taken from various forceful political speeches set off a storm of controversy, with much protest coming from American Black radio programmers who believed Malcolm would never have sanctioned use of his voice on what was essentially a hip-hop track.</p> <div class="video-embed-field-provider-youtube video-embed-field-responsive-video form-group"><iframe width="854" height="480" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/pVIKBCc-wJ4?autoplay=0&amp;start=0&amp;rel=0"></iframe> </div> <p>In turn, Keith was eloquently defended by black music writer Nelson George, who wrote in Billboard:</p> <blockquote> <p>"LeBlanc has done an amazing job of capturing the essence of Malcolm X's intellectual street raps, bringing this messenger's message to a new generation of listeners."</p> </blockquote> <p>Malcolm's widow Betty Shabazz, aware of Malcolm's influence on the growing rap and hip-hop community, gave Keith permission to sample Malcom's voice on the track, and wrote in the liner notes to the Tommy Boy Records 12-inch:</p> <p>"This recording documents Malcolm's voice at a time and space in history some nineteen or more years ago. Its meaning is just as relevant today as it was then. His belief is that people must constantly monitor behavior, refine goals, and direct their objectives to insure that the right to life and work is a reality. Ultimately, our goals should be peace and brotherhood. After all, the universe belongs to all its inhabitants."</p> <p>Keith's work with former Pop Group firebrand Mark Stewart is even more radical, cutting-edge and avant-garde.</p> <p>Listen to the sample and drum beat hellscape of "As The Veneer of Democracy Starts to Fade," which posits the ever-encroaching surveillance police state worldwide:</p> <div class="video-embed-field-provider-youtube video-embed-field-responsive-video form-group"><iframe width="854" height="480" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/FimK368rwZg?autoplay=0&amp;start=0&amp;rel=0"></iframe> </div> <p>Keith once told me of a session he did with anarchist manager/recording artiste Malcolm McLaren, where Keith, ever the perfectionist, labored away for hours trying to achieve the perfect drum sound.</p> <p>Eventually Malcolm sniffed: "At the end of the day, it's all a <em>boom-crack-boom</em>, innit?"</p> <p>Keith was a heck of a lot more than a "boom-crack-boom."</p> <p>Check out "You Drummers Listen Good" from his 1986 visionary solo album <em>Major Malfunction</em> to stare the future in the face.</p> </div> <section> <h2>Add new comment</h2> <drupal-render-placeholder callback="comment.lazy_builders:renderForm" arguments="0=node&amp;1=4389&amp;2=comment_node_story&amp;3=comment_node_story" token="JaQbE13TEr3Frh3l-NwgGlmU5Gol9hXQi3PicESxWVc"></drupal-render-placeholder> </section> Mon, 25 Nov 2024 15:27:43 +0000 Gary Lucas 4389 at http://culturecatch.com Even Better Than Remembered http://culturecatch.com/node/4386 <span>Even Better Than Remembered</span> <span><a title="View user profile." href="/users/c-jefferson-thom" lang="" about="/users/c-jefferson-thom" typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype="">C.

For decades, I’ve had a wall in my home dedicated to the photos and remembrance of those who have departed from this world and remain with me in spirit. Naturally, when I became aware of the Mexican religious holiday of Dia de Los Muertos, it was immediately recognizable and deeply familiar. That being said, it should come as no surprise that the Pixar animated feature <em>Coco</em> is one of those rare films that chokes me up every time. Today, I live with a partner and two children who all come from Mexico, so this tradition and film have taken on new dimensions of meaning for me. Thus, when I learned there would be a live musical performance with a screening of <em>Coco</em> at Benaroya Hall, I eagerly attended with my partner and our ten-year-old daughter.<br /><br /> The structure of this event is simple enough: a large projection screen hovers above, showing the film and a live orchestra plays the corresponding soundtrack below. In this case, we were privileged to a performance of Orquesta Folclórica Nacional de México (The National Folk Orchestra of Mexico) under the direction of conductor Esin Aydingoz, all of whom were exquisite. The quality and precision of the accompanying orchestra were so seamless that one could easily be excused for getting sucked into the film and forgetting that the score they were hearing was being played live. However, if you were so inclined as to let your sightline dip below the silver screen, you were offered the very unique opportunity of watching the production process unfold before you.</p> <p>I had never realized that the score for <em>Coco</em> contained so many parts for the harp. It is a simple revelation, but one that I won’t forget when I re-watch the film in the future. There was also a screen in front of the conductor that showed the running film along with some sort of numerical tracking system that broke up the score into different sections. I never figured out if it was related to measures in the music or a sort of chapter/scene in the story, but I found watching that in relation to what was happening on the big screen very fascinating. There was ultimately the overall advantage of hearing the music played live by such an astoundingly skilled orchestra. They had the structure; their playing was tight and without room for error, and, most importantly, they made the passion of the music sing through their instruments. Putting all that together with a movie I already love, it was a pure joy to vacillate between observing the process and just being absorbed into the film.</p> <p>Upon leaving Benaroya Hall, it was clear that both my partner and I had a far greater appreciation for all we had just witnessed than our little girl. For her, I think it was more of watching a movie she likes in an unconventional setting, and she missed the popcorn or couch back home. I’ve told you what the experience was for me, but it was even more meaningful for my partner as she left with a renewed pride in her cultural heritage: the traditions, the rich history, and the mastery of this orchestra of fellow Mexicanos keeping it all alive in the present day. It was also clear that she was not alone, and it was exhilarating to feel that the celebration of Mexican pride rang so clearly for so many people, even in a city that is over one thousand miles away from the Mexican border.  If <em>Coco Live-to-Film</em> comes our way again next Dia de Los Muertos, we will be there… this time in full Catrina makeup.</p> <p> </p> </div> <section> <h2>Add new comment</h2> <drupal-render-placeholder callback="comment.lazy_builders:renderForm" arguments="0=node&amp;1=4386&amp;2=comment_node_story&amp;3=comment_node_story" token="pmP1tmfqvKBFISOmnPfcIg9nDaFGTUUaNf1E2K7L7fg"></drupal-render-placeholder> </section> Tue, 12 Nov 2024 13:27:45 +0000 C.
