Indeed. He's like a team of oompaloompas programming video game music with radiohead on in the background. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

well that was what I was thinking too, yes. and there's no extra crap to muddle up the music - sure, there's an extraordinary story behind the individual but the music somehow seems very honest. but I guess that's more or less in my head. ordered "moondog 2" just now. :) |
||||||||

My final verdict: charming and refreshing, but not brilliant, and not really even that great. thanks though! I would have loved to have seen him in NYC (way way way back when before I was present). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
he sounds interesting does he sounds like sun ra or lee perry or ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
man, he's probably my favourite artist at the moment. totally mindblowing stuff this. although this 'the viking of 6th avenue' is a bit different to other stuff i've heard from him..much more up to my likings. it's incredibly good. what a guy! i'll definitelly check him out properly, i hope i can find some bigger text about him too, really interested in this guy. |

haha, part of reviw; Sometimes it's almost jazz, mostly it's that rare thing in music: unique. Moondog was a creature of an entirely lost New York. Giuliani would no doubt have had him moved on. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sounds interesting... anyone feel like sending me clips of songs to my email, feel free.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh yes, The Viking of Sixth Avenue is wonderful. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes people would really send you things because they care about you. |
||||||||
|

He is one of my favorites too. The odes to Benny Goodman and Charlie Parker are both awesome - Symphonique #6 (Good For Goodie) and Bird's Lament. His liner notes are cool too, he uses visual analogies for song structure which is awesome, especially for a blind guy. It's all fantastic stuff really. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
agree! and checking the thus unrelated music of moondog. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
awesome, though I feel it may be one of those things that is funny for a while and then dies. I'll have to check more complete samples to be sure, though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nope, it pretty much sticks. or in my case at least. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, I think I need more complete samples would you say this is easy to come by? In that case, I'd be able to download some stuff, and if I liked it, I would buy it... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it kind of comes and goes. there's quite a lot of stuff to be found, but then there's also a considerable amount of albums that are OOP. those are mostly the newer stuff, though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
OOP? anyway, I will look for this, as it caught my initial interest, but sampels aren't the best indicator of good stuf... are you sharing anything, and could you if so recommend "the best?" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hey is there a moondog track on the big lebowski soundtrack? specifically "stamping ground" ? i do like that track. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so i've been downloading a bit. the first track i got was "stamping ground" which i recognized from the Big Lebowski soundtrack (if it is the same moondog..?) then the next track i got was "birds lament" which i recognize from a Mr. Scruff track. a track i liked. so i guess i liked moondog and didn't even know it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, maybe those aren't actually moondog tracks.. are they? li'l help? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"stamping ground" is certainly a moondog track, as is "bird's lament". Steven. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
:D thanks! actually it's stephen though... uh huh heheheh |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
WHAT THE FUCK MAN so it's both Steve AND Stephen!?! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

OOP = out of print. I'm not sharing any moondog, no, but that new compilation seems nice, the one Goran mentions - "the viking of 6th avenue". also nice is the 2-disc set that came out end of last year, called "The German years 1977-1999", which focuses more on later stuff. that one is also packaged rather nicely. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok. I'll have a look around then. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
isn't it available @me? i'll have a look around wheni comehome. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it would probably be if you were online... i found some, though... checking it out. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
uh oh sorry. yeah, definitelly check out the viking of the 6th avenue. it's a compilation so you'll get a wider outlook on his music. it's quite minimalistic though but i think you like that sort of thing..i'll contact you one of these days..i shall rip the album! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's odd he was dressing like a viking since he was blind for the bigger part of his life.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it is actually that I'm checking out... the wondertastic vlr came to my rescue. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and this sounds.. well, I'll look for the album in the shelves. this was recently released somehow, so it shouldn't be too hard to track down? it's kind of like a cross between some of tom waits' stuff and that ry cooder album.. chavez ravine or something... even though chavez ravine reminds me of tom waits.. this sounds like it's somewhere in between in a place where there's less sound all over... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sort of yeah..it's a bit more simple perhaps which is not neccessarily a bad thing ofcourse :) and yes, i think you shouldn't have trouble getting this as it was released not long ago. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
those first samples I heard sounded a bit more silly than these, though.. it was from a different album, though... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
very, very unusual. i like that. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well.. I was wrong (or rather, the samples were wrong. I am never wrong). This is quite enjoyable, and I can tell from the entire listening experience (the viking of sixth avenue, btw) that it will stay and stick and all that. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
did you ever doubt that it would stick? after all, it's pretty much covered in goran-jizz by now |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haha! yeah.. I bet you can imagine how many things I got stuck to my walls after each time goran visits... I don't mind, though... |
