No Age - Goons Be - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

No Age's ethos sings to us from beyond the clouds, with words and without, their concept a boost to everyone helping everyone. Ensconced in Randy's Garage without a clock to spit on 'em, Dean and Randy have composted drums and guitar and life on planet earth into a stream of miniatures, vignettes and reembodied images - an infinity of hits.1 You're Cooked2 Compact Flashes3 Fruit Bat Blunder4 Plastic (You Want It)5 Interdependence6 Violence7 Flutter Freer8 Rush To The Pond9 Slow Motion Shadow10 Blueberry Barefoot11 Tripped Out Before Scott12 Heavenly13 Andy Helping Andy

This CD box set allows us to relive that legendary Bayreuth Festival year with recordings of Tannhäuser from July 22, Die Walküre from July 25, Lohengrin from August 4, and Parsifal from August 5, 1954. For the rapidly expanding loyal audience of InchNew Bayreuth, Inch which had been establishing itself with remarkable speed since 1951, the year 1954 brought some unexpected surprises. A singer named Theo Adam, previously known only for minor roles, stepped in to replace the towering bass legends Ludwig Weber and Josef Greindl as Fasolt and King Heinrich. Meanwhile, a choir member named Franz Crass was promoted to the role of the Fourth Nobleman in Lohengrin, unaware that just five years later, he would alternate as King Heinrich alongside his already more established young colleague. Equally surprising was Greindl's debut as Gurnemanz in Bayreuth, filling in for Ludwig Weber.
