The Deller Consort Gregorian Chants - Wedding of Cana (Vinyl - Everest Records, 1979) ***
Genre: Classical
Places I remember: Marbecks Records (Auckland)
Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles/Gear costume: It all morphs into one extended ambient sound collage.
Active compensatory factors: Incredibly calming sounds these; bought after hearing something similar at Roger Marbeck's place.
This form of chanting goes back to the 9th and 10th century. For me, it's similar to Buddhist chanting and Brian Eno's ambient albums - meditative and refreshing after listening to 'modern' music.
Best listened to on a Sunday morning or late at night.
Where do they all belong? This album stands alone. Every home should have one!
Music is the wine that fills the cup of silence - ROBERT FRIPP. Information is not knowledge; knowledge is not wisdom; wisdom is not truth; truth is not beauty; beauty is not love; love is not music; MUSIC IS THE BEST - FRANK ZAPPA. I think we're a little happier when we have a little music in our lives - STEVE JOBS. Music in the soul can be heard by the universe - LAO TZU. Rock and Roll is fire, man. FIRE. - DAVID BRIGGS. Music grips you, gets into your soul - GEORGE MARTIN
