Harvest Breed

Falling fast and falling free


you look to find a friend
Falling fast and falling free


this could just be the end
Falling fast you stop to touch

and kiss the flowers that bend





And you're ready now
For the harvest breed

Anthony Moore/Pieces From The Cloudland Ballroom
(Polydor/23mm 0238/LP/JPN)

Anthony Moore/Pieces From The Cloudland Ballroom

Though it is thought that there is a person who notices, too,
The Title's of My Series GIG "pieces from the plunk'splan's ballroom' came from.. you know..Anthony Moore(of Slapp Happy)'s solo Album 'Pieces From The Cloundland Ball room'!
He recorded 3 solo albums in eary 70's with Faust (2 albums were released from Polydor.)
Kind of Minimal/Classical Approach.
I Like these Album Very Much!
Especially 'Pieces...'is my longtime favorite album!
In Japanese Edition's Vinyl,including Liner notes by Masashi Kitamura, the Leader of Japanese Legendary Psychedelic band 'YBO2'.

In 1978 ,Anthony Moore recorded his 4th album 'OUT' kind of SSW manner, But it never released at that time..in 1998 reissued from Voiceprint.
Very Beautiful Album too!
If you interestead in Anthony Moore's Solo work and You haven't Heard them..
and you have Chance to see these albums at record store,I strongly recommend!

How Can I Marry This Language

Marc Mundy/S.T.
(Companion Records/CR3/CD)

Marc Mundy/S.T.

This is very strange record released in 1970.
There was very beautiful crossover east/west feeling.
Especially Turkish Psychedelic rock feeling is strong.
I can feel same feeling when i listen to Peter Ivers and Peter Kelly.
Everytime I Listen to this record, I think that maybe I'm dreaming.
Highly recommended.

La Farfalla

Dandelion/S.T.
(Guerssen/GUESS030/LP)

Dandelion/S.T.

This Album was released in France 1979.
It contains a feelings og acid folk/garage sound in, also reminds me some Aid Folk Music like 'Agincurt','Mike Stevens' for me. Very Smoky and Gentle atomosphere.

But on the other side,1st song of B-Side is my favorite track! It was so desperate and empty feeling of Like Red Crayola's 2nd Album.
Also they reminds me of K Label's Artist of late 80's. Lovely Record.

Frosted Chocolate

Harry Reser/Banjo Crackerjax 1922-1930
(Yazoo/1048/CD)

Harry Reser/Banjo Crackerjax 1922-1930

I'm very big fun of Pre-War Blues/Country.
Especially Yazoo Label's many incredible works is very important for me.
I like their artwork! Robert Crumb mainly did their artwork in their early era.
Today I Pick up Harry resser.
For me, My favorite Banjo player are Dock Boggs and Uncle Dave Macon.
I could not feel some kind of madness I could feel when listening to Doc Boggs.
But there is well-arranged good vibration in here. recommend.
