Rune Lindblad – Death of the Moon
Subtitled Electronic & Concrète Music 1953-1960, this is a collection of important yet very obscure works by this Swedish composer. Combining musique concrète and electronic music at a time when France and Germany were feuding over the validity of each form respectively, this man went on to gurgle out some amazing midnight snack atmospheres. Full of distant echoes and voices, flowing tape hiss, disruptive static, hectic sped-up and slowed down tape passages, austere organ and percussion (all hopelessly muted), gentle flutes, echoey thuds and metal rods banging away, this is the perfect soundtrack for your next one-man party. The stunning cover art features a close-up of an astronaut’s head on the moon with a huge iris taking up the entire face visor and a friendly lizard’s head peaking out from the center.
