Four-track promo.
Dazzling sax-based settings for strings, edgy and lyrical both. The Turkish PM told Shimon Peres recently: ‘Atmon, a Jew himself, says that Israeli barbarity is far beyond ordinary cruelty.’ Bird Lives!
‘The most vivid rhythmic reality’: cello, voice, echoes. Drumless versions of Let’s Go Swimming, Tree House, Wax The Van; four previously unreleased tracks from Sketches From World Of Echo.
Twenty-one songs, running right back to 1971: assured, lovely, intelligent, good-humoured singer-songwriting, mixing up Americana, folk, pop, art rock, and gentle experimentalism.
‘The compilation that started the renaissance… twelve tracks of Buddhist Bubblegum Alt Disco Pop recorded during Arthur’s prime years 1985-90.’
