PIERRE HENRY
Apocalypse De Jean
1969 France 3xLP Box Set

Some odd Friday morning weirdness.

I feel very lucky to have this. It’s very sought after by collectors, and I bought it at a thrift store for $3 in Nashville, Tn about 15 years ago.

Composed by Henry in 1968, it is an electronic oratorio in five movements. It is based on the Apocalypse (Revelation) of Saint John, combining electronic sound and dramatic narration of that biblical text, which is read by French actor Jean Negroni.

It’s been described as “bizarre” and “eerily religious”, which is true, but there’s also something very beautiful hidden in the cracks and crevices.
Running at around 1 hour and 41 minutes, if you’ve got the patience, it’s a very interesting listening experience.

THE WRENS
Silver
2019 U.S. 2xLP Ltd. Edition Reissue
RSD Coke Bottle Clear vinyl

A pleasant surprise find today.

NOT The Wrens record I’ve been looking for over 20 years (The Meadowlands), but still a pretty damn great one.

The Wrens were one of those bands that should have been way more popular than they were, but MUSICIANS know how good they were. The Meadowlands will always be their masterpiece, but this record is brilliant in its own right.

It’s their first record, and you can hear a BEVY of influences, including The Pixies, particularly on “From His Lips”.

“What’s A Girl” reminds me of some demo that a 19 year old Robert Smith would have recorded in his basement after a prolonged mope. That is… before it explodes into chaos.

All of the band members take turns on lead vocals throughout, even the drummer.

It’s just an album of charming, ramshackle alternative rock.

Passo al negozio di dischi a sentire se prendono indietro dei dischi usati che non ascolto più.
