| The Spacious Mind |
Upon Which Areas May The Circles Be Drawn?" (track 1)
(Listen:
Pop-up)
|
Live Volume One: Do Your Thing But Don't Touch Ours | Goddamn I'm A Countryman |
An easy-moving, often slow space-blues, sort of a spacey-mournful feel at times, picks up near end, best at lower volume.
Most concerts can be played 1 track at a time, but not this 1. I think it's essential to listen to this concert as a whole & all together. Done so, it creates a mood that is just not present otherwise. Very fine music, indeed. |

Live Volume One: Do Your Thing But Don't Touch Ours | Goddamn I'm A Countryman | Mellow, the space-blues feeling really returns, easy tempo, builds a little for a while. | *** | |||||

Euphoria Euphoria (track 5)
(Listen:

|
Live Volume One: Do Your Thing But Don't Touch Ours | Goddamn I'm A Countryman |
Quiet and gentle start as a kind of guitar and organ introspection, builds almost imperceptibly until it finally fades out as the band plays on.
The concert actually went on for another 15 minutes or so, but the limitations how it was recorded didn't allow for that long a recording. |

Set 2: the old radio show portion of the evening. (Listen to this set: Pop-up) |
||||||||||
| Escape |
Border Town
|
Originally broadcast December 23, 1949 | (no label) |
Not exactly a holiday special with a happy story....Our anti-hero, played by Jack Webb, is on a cross country bus trip to Hollywood. He finds some money, and sells it in a seedy Mexican border town. He promptly gets drugged and robbed - and it's downhill from there, because Mr. Wearily Existential (Webb) wants his money back, especially after he finds out the money is real. Or is it?
"Border Town" is episode #101 in the Escape series, and also starts William Conrad and Jeanette Nolan. From John Dunning's The Encylcopedia Of Old-Time Radio: "...widely considered radio's greatest series of high adventure....Never on radio was the action formula more effectively utilized." |

Gamelan Of Central Java II: Ceremonial Music | Felmay | Airy and mystical. A "gending" is a composition. This is a "sacred" gamelan, "used only to play the type of music heard here." We hear one of "the most ancient and revered in Central Java." Track 1 on this CD is a shorter version of the same piece - we'll hear it at a later date. | *** | |||||
