Επειδή ξέρω ότι σου αρέσουν εσένα κάτι τέτοια,
μάθε το. Κάπως έτσι βέβαια τσίμπησα και
αυτό, πολύ ενδιαφέρον επίσης.
After jumping off with two extremely amazing releases, Solitary Pursuits by ADR and Mind Controls The Flood by No UFO’s, still fairly new London imprint Public Information dives way deeper into the history of electronic music, thus carrying out their promise to provide a “survey of electronics” from 1950 onwards. The label’s latest release is a collection of works by Frederick Charles Judd, an English amateur pioneer of library-like electronic sound experimentation not unlike the oeuvre of BBC Radiophonic Workshop’s mastermind Daphne Oram. The 35-track anthology, curated and compiled by the label’s founders together with Brighton-based film maker Ian Helliwell (who’s been working on a documentary on Judd) and the artist’s widow and son, is a strangely captivating journey through the early age of electronic music making – while most individual tracks do not exceed the two-minute mark, everything here is both tremendously worthwhile and highly entertaining. A truly indispensable release.
Electronics Without Tears is out January 16 via Public Information. Watch the trailer for Helliwell’s film and listen to an album preview below.
Και επειδή μπήκες κάπως στο κλίμα, πάρε έξτρα δώρο και τον φίλο
Kerkville, που τον είδαμε λαιβ χτες.
