Christian musique concrete/psych comp
Where I live there's about a dozen op shops within a healthsome walking distance. My favourite of them has yielded up Tod Dockstader's first LP, and French Phillips pressings of Gainsbourg - among other choice booty. Once I missed out on an I Cantori Moderni di Alessandroni vinyl there, after I'd strolled in on a whim but without any cash on me - by the time I got back (not long!), it'd gone.
I initially figured this one to be barely deserving of a moment's glance - the cover is so unforgivably daggy. But something about it was strangely compelling - I went back to it, pulled it out the rack and gave a squizz to the back...
THIS is what I pulled up on:
Thank you, umm, God!
... Probably the most unlikely vinyl I've pulled at my local, this one documents a concert series presented at a NYC Presbyterian church in 1968. Custom pressing, & silk-screen cover. File it under "evangelical/freak".
The late '60s saw a genuine renaissance in Christian liturgical music - think of Pierre Henry & Michel Colombier's "Messe pour le temps present" (Eng: Mass for Today). This music here is brut/naif rock & vocal choir, with riotous electronic noise blasting the ears of the unsanctified on the very first track (about 2 minutes in).
