MOONDOG / MOONDOG and his Friends (HALLMARK MUSIC & ENTERTAINMENT盤CD)
バイキングの格好をした盲目のNYストリート・ミュージシャンとしてアメリカのビート世代にも強い影響を与えた云うコンポーザー、ムーンドッグが1953年にEpicからオリジナル・リリースした10インチ・アナログ盤のCDリイシュー!!! ポリリズム・パーカッシブな楽曲から自作楽器やテープ音源、ストリングスを導入した交響楽的なものまで唯一無二の世界観が花開いています！ 一家に一枚常備レベルの逸品!!! Moondog And His Friends was originally released in 1954 on the Epic label as a 10” album and is resplendent with the same sparse yet rhythmic percussion as is found on his various other albums. Despite the ‘And His Friends’ credit there is little mention of any of them on the original sleevenotes, save for a mention for his wife who performs on the oo, a triangular instrument that sounded similar to a harp. There is no doubt that Moondog was considered musically different at the time he made these recordings, but music has eventually caught up with him, with his work being frequently sampled over the last twenty or so years. Here, however, are the originals. （HALLMARK MUSIC & ENTERTAINMENT） 1. Dragon's Teeth - Voices Of Spring 2. Oasis 3. Tree Frog - Be A Hobo 4.
