Maclise, Angus - Cloud Doctrine 2 x CDs
SKU
05-SR 182
"159 minutes of minimal electronic music, readings, and soundtracks from the archives of composer, poet, occultist, calligrapher, and original Velvet Underground drummer Angus Maclise from 1963-1976, featuring Tony Conrad, John Cale, Piero Heliczer, Beverly Grant Conrad and Hetty Maclise. This deluxe 2CD set features rare music, performances, soundtracks, and spoken word by this seminal poet and musician who was active in the New York avant-garde of the '60s. Included is a historical text by poet/photographer Gerard Malanga and many unpublished photographs."
"Befitting the Cale/Conrad/MacLise trio's previous work in La Monte Young's Theater of Eternal Music, these crudely recorded jams smear out into whispy drones that saturate the sound field with a gloriously ecstatic clamor." - Stupid And Contagious blog
