AMM "At the Roundhouse" CD (1972) Eddie Prevost and Lou Gare

Description: Here we have a stunning document of live improvised music at its absolute finest, from UK soundscapers AMM: At the Roundhouse, recorded in 1972, finally released three decades later by the Anomalous label. This CD captures AMM at a one-of-a-king British artistic event. The International Carnival of Experimental Sound, or ICES '72 for short, was an ambitious festival that brought together over 300 artists from more than 21 countries to perform in London, England over the course of two weeks in August of 1972. Based on the theme of Myth, Magic Madness and Mysticism, ICES featured an amazing assortment of performers working in the full range of audio-visual arts. Encompassing happenings, films, dance, a train ride, and the phantom soft pool table, the focus was on sound -- specifically that of artists who were both composers and performers. Most of the concerts were held at The Roundhouse, a cavernous structure that was formerly a railroad engine house. This CD, intended to be the first of a series documenting this legendary festival, features the complete concert given by legendary free improvising group AMM. Represented here by a stripped-down lineup of Eddie Prevost and Lou Gare, they offer up powerful explosions of saxophone and drums punctuated with their famous AMM silences. This is the first time this material has been made available (aside from two short excerpts were published as the only 7-inch release on Evan Parker and Derek Bailey's Incus Records), and it's brilliant as ever, forty-plus minutes of the bold, thought-provoking sound exploration you expect from AMM, who recently packed it in after nearly sixty incredible years. This CD shows slight wear, but looks great and plays flawlessly. Track listing 1. The Sound of Indifference (46:52)
