About this product

Following his seminal Sand in 1977, Swedish experimental composer Ragnar Grippe worked on various art and performance commissions, often returning to Stockholm during the summer months to focus his efforts on his compositional practice. It was there at the famed EMS Studios where he began employing the Buchla synthesizer and the facilities multi-tracking capabilities as new instruments to map his mining of sound and movement.During the late 1970's, Grippe formed a creative collaboration with choreographer Susan Buirge, specifically writing compositions for her works InchRestesInch and InchTamisInch, thus pushing Grippe to start working in a more intricate studio environment. In 1980, Grippe holed up at EMS Studios with the Buchla synthesizer and emerged with a new commission for Susan Buirge later formally titled Symphonic Songs and used in her avant-garde theater piece InchCi-DélaInch which debuted in Paris in 1981. Symphonic Songs showcased Grippe's sound au courant, pushing dense against sparse, calm into cacophonous, using each track as it's own intersecting plane. Since it's live theater debut over 37 years ago, Dais Records releases for the first time Symphonic Songs, one of Grippe's most ambitious compositions to date.

Oung Gun Silver Fox - Canyons   - VINYL LP

Canyons are places of mystery and beauty. The interesting thing is, while they are one of the great wonders in the history of planet earth and attract scientists of all kinds of disciplines, they have also been a popular retreat for artists and musicians. You will have heard of Topanga Canyon, Rickie Lee Jones and Chicago recorded here. Laurel Canyon is even more well known, a mythical place where Crosby, Stills & Nash developed their unique vocal sound while hanging around Mama Cass' place. Or was it in Joni Mitchell's house on Lookout Mountain? Ok, you get the picture. There is something unexplainable, almost magical going on in canyons.Maybe that's why Andy Platts and Shawn Lee were thinking of InchCanyonsInch when they wrote and recorded their third album as Young Gun Silver Fox. With InchWest End CoastInch and InchAM WavesInch these two very talented musicians, singers, songwriters, arrangers and producers already explored all things West coast, AOR, Soft rock and Boogie. But - especially if you are a into the golden age of this sound running from circa 1976 to 1984 - you will be aware that there is no return once you started digging these unconditional musical delights with their timeless compositions, untouchable musicianship and refined arrangements. The great albums from that era appeared when punk broke and the musical establishment was shaken to the ground. Today they sound more up to date than ever. Who would have thought back then?On InchCanyonsInch Young Gun Silver Fox turned it up to eleven. They are nothing but InchKidsInch cruising in the fast lane, totally over the top searching for the InchDream WomanInch, touching down in Tokyo caught in a InchLong Distance Love AffairInch, imagining the theme for a lost 70s TV series starring InchDanny JamaicaInch, being on the winning side in a InchPrivate ParadiseInch, getting deep and soulful in InchThings We L

Commodores - Anthology   - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Two CD reissue. Long before Lionel Richie became one of the biggest pop solo stars of the eighties, he was a member of the Commodores, once dubbed InchThe Funkiest Band In The LandInch and one of Motown's most successful acts during the seventies. With the numerous compilations this seemed to capture all their favorite songs and more. From the earlier hits like InchBrick HouseInch sung by drummer Walter InchClydeInch Orange to the later and biggest hits InchEasyInch and InchThree Times A LadyInch sung by Lionel Richie. What makes this one special is that songs like InchJesus Is LoveInch and some of their earlier instrumentals and hard to find songs are included. There is also a rare gem included on this set, an early Commodores single that didn't do anything but is nonetheless worth having; InchAre You Happy?Inch
