Set 1: the old radio show portion of the evening. (Listen to this set: Pop-up) |
||||||||||
| The Haunting Hour |
Murder Wears A Strange Mask
|
Originally broadcast sometime from 1944 - 1946 - probably 1945. | (no label) |
We don't know what year it was originally aired, the exact date of the show, or even who was in any of the episodes -- no records were ever kept.
This episode: an innocent couple goes to a masquerade ball -- where Death just happens to be a guest. Woman: "Oooooh, you must be a real magician!" Death: "Yes, madam, I'm a successful stockbroker -- same thing." |

The Last Camel In Paris | Elision Fields |
We hear the entire live concert - a live interpretation / reinterpretation of his work Sri Camel. Notes apply to the entire work: quiet start, then gradually gets under way and we find we're inside the temple of Terry Riley...stately and warmly trance-like, even psychedelic, best at low to moderate volume.
A good write-up is found here. |
