BASIL KIRCHIN Worlds Within Worlds (Limited Edition 2019 UK issue of the super rare 1971 two-part LP on Heavyweight Black Vinyl, fully remastered for Trunk Records. Basil's name is familiar with those interested in the pre-history of British electronic & experimental music. Worlds Within Worlds [Parts I & II] was his first concept record, having abandoned earlier work with his big band. It was a truly unique release in Britain for the early seventies & alas one that sadly no one bought! Basil's spiritual & philosophical motivation for creating sound really had no match in Britain outside of academys & universities which specialised in electro-acoustic music at the time. Worlds Within Worlds essentially combines traditional instruments with wildlife sounds & the amplified noise of insects in a 'musique concrete' avant-garde style. Tape is painstakingly spliced, edited, looped & manipulated to create a whole new world of alien yet beautiful soundscapes. In hindsight, these sounds clearly anticipated the subsequent ambient experiments of Brian Eno [who wrote the sleeve notes for its follow-up Worlds Within Worlds 3/4], as well as a generation of today's electronic artists such as Aphex Twin. Recorded with the free-jazz alumni of Evan Parker [soprano sax], Derek Bailey [guitar] & Frank Ricotti [marimba, organ], Basil's name was also included on Nurse With Wound's infamous 'list' [available with original copies of their first LP] & subsequently became a collectable artist decades later for fans of underground music & the avant-garde. Comes housed in a deluxe gatefold sleeve in open shrinkwrap. The sleeve & vinyl are 'as new' JBH080LP) more...
