Excavated Shellac: Reeds

by Various Artists

supported by

Jigglypuff In these days of fashion corporations producing clothing based on fake goregrind bands and 11-year old mumble rappers rambling about meth binges while being managed by their parents, it's time to look elsewhere for subversive music. If you want some good old-fashioned neighbour-terrorizing sound this is the album you want to be blasting at full volume in 2020 (just turn up the treble instead of the bass).

Chris K Fabulous stuff. I love listening to the rawness of these old recordings. Anyone who likes this should also check out Robert Crumbs (Yes the Fritz the Cat author Crumb) CD, Hot Women: Singers From The Torrid Regions Of The World
It was published on "kein & aber" a small label from Zurich Switzerland. ASIN: 3036914048 Favorite track: Zurnacı Mahir and Ali (Turkey).

about

Reed instruments are capable of some of the most impassioned music on the planet, all due to the malleability of the reeds, themselves—historically made of plant tissue – which vibrate when air hits them. The origin of most reed instruments is steeped in rural, pastoral culture. Many insistent, loud, often joyful, reed instruments have always been played outdoors as traditional accompaniment for dancing and celebrations.

This compelling album is the second volume in the Excavated Shellac release series, featuring rare, never-before issued 78rpm records from around the world, centered on a unique theme. The previous volume (Excavated Shellac: Strings) focused on stellar stringed instrument performances. This release examines some of the most intense and hypnotic music set to disc during the early years of international recording, all featuring reed instruments. All previously unreleased on CD, with three bonus tracks not available on the newly-released vinyl LP. All records have been carefully transferred and mastered and are presented with extensive liner notes by Jonathan Ward.

Absolutely amazing compilation. Takes you back to another time and another place. A lot less outside influence than Sudanese music you find in the 80s (not that that's bad), but certainly can hear the threads that run through. Great stuff! bonnieprince
