| 2008 repress of this superb double-disc set, covering an extended trance-out set from the takehisa kosugi-led taj mahal travelers ... two near hour-long pieces mostly concerned with electronics, whispered vocals, and kosugi’s searing/soaring violin ... impeccable, as always.
ps ... heard a rumor a few years back that this particular recording, despite being advertised as the stockholm concert from ‘71, is actually a recording of a session that kosugi & co. did for radio bremen at the tail-end of the band’s existence in ‘72, it’s date & location masked to draw suspicion away from those whose hands would have otherwise been found wrist-deep in the pudding ... but you didn’t hear it from me ... |
| | drone syndicate press release... |
| | “in 1969 kosugi co-founded "taj mahal travellers," a group of collective improvisation, playing in various locations with intermedia presentations. in 1970 he participated in expo '70 in osaka, with commissioned works for environmental sound events for the festival plaza. from 1971 to 1972, he made a travelling event with the taj mahal travellers, voyaging via england, europe and the near east to the taj mahal in india. the event included participation in utopia and visions in stockholm, ices '72 in london, recordings for radio bremen and bbc tv, and many other performances.” |
