Frantisek Benda: Concerto in G

11. Largo (6:34)
12. Presto (4:48)

These flute concertos are played on a wooden baroque transverse flute, and the smooth sound of it never dominates, but forms a whole with the "camerata" (no orchestra!), so efficient for the rendition of concertos from a time wherein the soloist was not yet a star. Recorded in 1991, but still very good.

Frames For A Fairy Tale
Alain Amouyal

1 Temptation
2 Dance
3 Hope
4 March
5 Liberation
6 Certainty


The "Frames for a Fairy Tale" suite for orchestra, voice and piano is the starting point in a project for a large-scale multimedia show whose principle theme, subject of a treatment for the stage, is Orpheus' battle to reconquer his Loved One.
It is an epic poem which is connected to the mythical couple's story. However, like all great legends, this story's appeal is timeless, which is why it is able to resonate in the very depths of ourselves.
Composed by Alain Amouyal (AEva), co-arranged and orchestrated by Luc Marty, this first orchestral version - interpreted by the prestigious London Symphony Orchestra - seduces the listener with its epic sound and its evocative quality which heralds the multimedia show currently in preparation.

some reviews to review.............

Super bumbling synth goop that's very reminiscent of the lumbering robot walk from 'Forbidden Planet'. 4 lps on 2 cdrs of modular synth solo, with one short break for a synth + finger cymbals ensemble. There's a few hints at chords here & there, but mostly just a slow discovery of what each knob does, one knob at a time. By the 4th lp, Nik has nearly worked his way up to a Klaus Schulze/new age mirage, but he's still got the clumsy wonder of pressing random buttons now & again. Nik was from Los Angeles, appears as a studio musician on the Stones 'Goat's Head Soup', & recorded a Buddah album called 'Head' (which supposedly got him tossed from the label because it was too drugged out). He also went under what I assume to be his real last name, Raicevic. Tracklisting: Beyond the End, To Go To Do Is To Be, Tide, The Mist That Drifts Away, Deathless, The Wanderer, Life's Timelessness, Eternity, The Sixth Ear, Journey Into the Light, Subconscious Nebula, Anandamayi, Identity, Demons of Rage, Karma, Visions of Kali, Life, Magnetic Web, Light Stimulus, Edge of the Unknown, Dance of the Supernatural, Interplanetary Beings, Cosmic Aura, Zero Gravity, Robot Rock, Sounds from the Blue Planet, I Q + U = ?, Alpha Wave Diffusion.

====================================================================== ===

"a reproduction of all four lps originally self-released by nicolas “nik pascal” raicevic on his narco records and tapes label (rumored to be one of the first truly independent labels...) between 1971 and 1975. the music is nothing short of genius; a fine beaded mist of exceedingly lo-fi (tape drop-outs are prevalent, entire frequency ranges completely excised from certain tracks... not to mention the piss-poor quality of the original pressings) “hands-off” psychedelic synthesizer fumblings (paralleling only douglas leedys “entropical paradise” in its seemingly arbitrary rhythms & note-choices) & rudimentary drum-machine / bongo diversions. 1971s “beyond the end... eternity” consists solely of loose, exploratory moog modular dirges; raicevic is clearly still in the early learning-curve stages... yet by the following years “the sixth ear,” more complex gated passages & rhythmic activity begins to surface (including a few bits that rival pierre henrys “mise en musique corticalart” in their sheer monolothic joy...) along with overdubbed bongo jams and a few actual chord progressions... by 1973s “magnetic web,” raicevic has added an arp 2600 and a few rhythm-boxes (often running a few bpm apart, yielding some rather zonked phase-effects) and hand-percussion (tibetan finger-cymbals) to his arsenal, increasing the levels of raw synth-blat tenfold (more than a few tracks stream sample-and-hold layers throughout.) - in my mind this is his masterpiece. finally, after a year off, nik drops his last album, “zero gravity,” the side-long title-track working a harmonic-series patch with drizzles of space-dusted echo & miniature alien-tongued white-noise licks, the b-side offering a set of shorter songs... as far as early-mid 70s american “bedroom” electronic music goes, these lps have to be among the first transmissions from this sector, made all the more attractive when coupled with raicevics alien topography (the covers are high-color portrayals of venusian lanes, knotted growths, & future-past architecture) & copious “downer” sentiment... this music is imbued with a sort of lonely, anti-social sensibility thats about as far as you can get from the “academic” early electronic vector. while im not going to blanket-recommend this one for all followers of the creel pone series, i will say that if the steve birchall, cellutron & the invisible, and/or pythagoron™ replications seed your garden, this will likely do the same..." - Creel Pone.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Nik “Pascal” Raicevic’s chief claim to fame is as a session percussionist for two tracks on the Rolling Stones’ Goat’s Head Soup, but in the early 1970s he released several pioneering electronic instrumental albums under various names.

His first release, in 1970, was an eponymous album under the name “Head”; it was released by Buddah Records and contained tracks with names like “Cannabis Sativa” and “Methedrine”. Buddah had second thoughts fairly quickly and Raicevic was soon on his own. He released four albums on his own label (keeping the drug theme by naming it “Narco Records and Tapes”) before selling all his equipment to Steve Roach and dying of an overdose or finding Jesus or something.

3 There Will Never Be Another You 6:46
4 D & E 5:19
5 All the Things You ARe 4:13

10 A Night in Tunisia 8:46
11 Ow! 6:07
12 Theme 3:11

This live concert (which was released for the first time on this 1995 CD) features the great pianist Sonny Clark in prime form, in a trio with bassist Jerry Good and drummer Al Randall. The recording quality is a bit primitive (lowering the music's value) but since there are not an excess of Sonny Clark records available, and the pianist's interpretations of the dozen selections (mostly jazz standards) is consistently swinging and inventive, this boppish CD is worth picking up anyway.
