It seems that every musical genre has its own free form break away from the
norm side. What's acid-jazz's equivalent (i.e. acid-jazz artists producing
music that is not of any acid-jazz style we are familiar with)?
To me, the ultimate avant music has to be the sounds and songs of our
natural world, music that can only be made by the wonderful creatures
of this planet and the natural world they live in. National Geographic
once put out a 7 inch in one of their magazine issues entitled SONGS OF
THE HUMPBACK WHALE - I consider it the most valuable record I have.
We should all do what we can to ensure that, given the current relation-
ship between humans and their planet, such songs do not become
truely rare grooves.
