![]() Enoch Light and the Brass Menagerie |
Raw power, savage beauty, and the ruthless new sound of brass.
"Not since Enoch Light's Persuasive Percussion revolutionized the entire concept of sound recording has an instrumental album created such a furore (sic) as Enoch Light's Brass Menagerie". So hails the liner notes on this 1969 collection of popular songs (including three from the musical Hair) done up with every variety of brass instrument available. Inside the fold-out jacket we get Light's usual paragraph-long treatment of each tune along with an essay that virtually credits Light with every musical innovation since the 19th century. That said, the tunes are pretty good -- dig yourself up a copy and give 'em a listen. |

Good Morning Starshine (Real Audio) | Tubas and flutes shine in this dramatic interpretation of the "Hair" classic. |
Stars and Stripes '69 (Real Audio) | Kind of like a swinging 60's version of the John Phillip Sousa march. Cool. |

says: The nice things about Enoch Light is - I can't picture him. These people were FACELESS and we could really use a few less faces nowadays. I just don't WANT to look at, well, Britnney's trailer trash ass all the goddamn time. So let's bring back peppy instrumental music made by faceless studio musicians making union scale and the world will be a MUCH nicer place. Thanks for listening!
