Louis Hardin, known to pre-Watergate New Yorkers as the blind street musician Moondog, is also a fascinating and sui generis composer. This disc collects 1969 recordings of his orchestral works and 1972 small-group recordings of the two-minutes-and-under "rounds and canons" that are his most influential work. Janis Joplin covered his "All Is Loneliness," you can hear foreshadowings of Stereolab in his "Madrigals," and you only need to hear "Theme" to hear how profoundly he influenced Michael Nyman. Simple and beautiful, Moondog's rounds owe as much to the swing he heard on the radio in his youth as to Bach's canonical structures, and they vary as little and as much as roses in a row. --Douglas Wolk

5 out of 5 stars Admirable communion with life.......2007-04-26

Blind he is our Moondog, but he does not bark for pity. He listens to and reproduces what he can capture with his ears. That means his work is a tremendous compilation of sounds from the real world, animals or just insects, his own baby and his own wife, or just some beating on a drum, or the frail dancing of a pipe along with a frog and a cricket. It is this extreme patchwork of sounds, voices, noise and music under the light enchantment from the moon that our artist is imagining in his eternal night. At least for him the moon never sets, never disappears over or behind the hills. "Surf Session" is the only piece that has some real length. The sea surf, the sea waves, the breaking of these waves we imagine along some pebbly seaside give a strange depth to the very both Asian and tremendously romantic music that manages to float forever over the rather powerful vortex of the sea, the ocean. The nearly Chinese constant grace-notes give the music a charm that is both discrete and so strong we seem to be able to imagine some Last Emperor advancing in the Forbidden City just before defeating his beleaguered wife and sons under the sign of some golden flower. The "Street Scene" is less fascinating because it is aimless, it lacks a direction and a destination? "I must never follow you and you must never follow me." He is roaming on and on, around and around, in that incessant, menacing, mechanical noise that comes up from the New York street locked up in between the walls of surrounding buildings. Can that be life? And what can it sound like to a blind man? Is it worse or less violent than what the famous Arthur Miller's Salesman felt, heard and experienced in his trapped two storied house in the middle of surrounding skyscrapers and under the crushing noise of thousands of motor vehicles? We will never know, except if we decide to do what dipus did when he realized his criminal inability to see the fate that was his. And he lived ever after like a dog in the eternal night of his blindness remembering the moonshine and the sunshine, tolerating the insults and petty assaults from those whose yes are not bleeding dead.

Louis T. Hardin did not graduate from the Juliard. He went to a school in Iowa and Memphis, but was mostly self taught. Listen to this with your eyes closed.

5 out of 5 stars Eccentric Centrist.......2003-12-14

Odd-ball individuals are more common than geniuses, but Moondog is both. Harry Partch had the highest regard for this blind graduate of Julliard, whose fantastic get-up of skins, furs and horns might have detracted from the impact of less seminal music. Since he was immensely tall, he made quite an apparition. Moondog's primitivo get-up was odd, to say the least, but since Moondog was blind, one wonders who put the costume together. Moondog, like Harry, invented most of the instruments he played standing on the corener at the Avenue of the Americas. His music reaches back into prehistory in its effect, and has a kindness to it, if that may be a reasonable thing to say. Later, Moondog became sort of a darling of the avant garde, and composed for traditional instruments, but the earlier the recorded work, the more deep down and pure it was. The later work is slicker, but just as intelligent.

4 out of 5 stars Amazing record, TERRIBLE SOUND QUALITY!.......2005-06-15

This is hands-down the best Agent Orange album. Unfortunatly, the label really screwed up on the mastering of this disc. It is almost unlistenable in it's current form on this CD. It's not the production,(I have it on LP and CASS as well) it's the mastering. I would recomend getting "Sonic Snake Sessions" instead. It has the original recordings from this disc all remastered. You will have to pay a higher price, and considering the mediocre bonus tracks (an EP and a not so hot live album) it does kinda feel like a rip-off. But hey, you have no choice.

5 out of 5 stars This has power ... if you can stand volume at 10........2004-01-25

Living in Darkness has a raw power to it that leaves your ears and mind tired (a good thing).

This album would do the same if not for the poor sound quality. Same driving guitars and catchy sound. THe problem - the sound is distant. Similar to PJ Harvey's CD Chronology - Dry (raw, piercing sound, which rates a top 5 CD in my collection) to Rid of Me (which is so distant and non-motivating it makes you wonder what was going on in the studio).

This is still one of my favorite CD's (where Rid of Me is not). If you have a good sound system and can crank it up, it still rates as a great CD that is a classic of my collection.

4 out of 5 stars Sak, you're a tool........2003-10-20

Great album, great band. Yes, it's old. That is a good thing.

3 out of 5 stars Great music - Poor sound quality.......2001-09-05

I actually rate 5 stars to the band, but only 1 star to the CD quality. I bought this CD because I own the album (33RPM record (yeah, I'm old)) but I wanted to listen to it on CD. The music on this CD is great (the band is great), but the quality of the CD is very poor. You have to turn the volume way up and it still isn't very loud and/or clear - obviously not a fault of Agent Orange. I think the producers could have done a better job re-releasing this on CD. Buy it to listen to Agent Orange, but beware of the poor quality recording.

Product Description

This artist's sophomore effort is an engaging tour de force of an eclectic style that bridges 1960's pop with classic country. This disc could be called "rock" if not for the unique pedal steel guitar lines and cool, twang-spank production. Marc Corey Lee's sound echos the elegant stylings of mid-century popular music. "I Found Heaven" is a swampy rocker at heart, bouyed by Greg Liesz's searing dobro lines. "Please" is a glimmering ballad with all the passion and musical character of the best of Sinatra. Overall, think of putting Roy Orbison, Johnny Cash, Buck Owens and John Denver in a blender and spicing it all up with a little salsa and a touch of Dwight Yoakam. Marc's powerful, clear tenor and his sophisticated writing make a world-class package for any fan of alternative music.

5 out of 5 stars This is what country music should sound like!.......2005-06-30

I got an email from musician, Marc Corey Lee, asking me if I'd like to receive a copy of his latest CD, Jetset Deluxe. He's a regular reader at my blog, Vintage Rock, and based on the reviews I'd already written, he thought I might like to listen to his music. I've never been known to turn down anything free (that probably comes from being a broke college student) so of course I said, "send away." I'm a pretty open-minded girl and I've been known to let an assortment of different styles and genres of music creep into my vast CD collection and subconsious.

When I received his CD via mail and a smile crossed my face. I love mail of every shape, size, and kind, as long as its not junk mail...you know, those 12 CDs for a penny offers that I've had to force myself to turn down; there has to be a hitch in such a great offer, hidden somewhere in microscopic fine print. Upon opening up the envelope, my first immediate impression of the CD cover was, "damn, this guy looks kind of like Chris Isaak." Which isn't a bad thing at all since Wicked Game is my all time favorite music video, and not for the anoxeric model chick, I can assure you. As I flipped the case over, my doubts begin to emerge. With song titles like "Mister Heartache" and "South of San Antone," I silently groaned. This can't be a country CD, can it? Country music is the one genre of music I've been consistently dissapointed with my entie life. Its impossible to escape from it because I live the center of midwest hickville....La Porte City, Iowa.

When I was six, I think there were only two types of music I'd been exposed to: country music and classic rock. I could easily go from listening to Garth Brooks "Thunder Rolls" (originally sung by Tanya Tucker btw) to belting along with Robert Plant on "Heartbreaker." But as I got older it seemed as if all country music was being freakishly mutated into what I like to call "cowboy charictures." Girl country crooners turned into souless, comically bad Britney Spears impersonators with Texas twang and Gucci cowboy boots. The men of country music also fell pray to fashion and tried to bring "edge" to their look by wearing wife beaters and big black, ten gallon hats. It was no longer about musical integrity...it was about how many socks guys could shove in their skintight jeans, fashionally ripped in all the "right" places. While country musicians appearance changed drasticially, their music seemed to de-evolve and turn into a bland mix of power ballads and soft rock.

So of course, that's what brought me to the rock n' roll path and led me to create my blog in the first place. I was trying to find a way to get as far away from the country music genre as possible. I vowed to always flip past CMT and never listen to any country albums that weren't from the 50's or 60's (unless it was Garth Brooks or Mary Chapin Carpenter.) So it took a lot of personal coaxing to get myself to put the disc into my CD player...but I did because I try never to judge music I'm supposed to review until after I give the entire disc a listening to.

The second I heard Marc's vocals, I knew that this was a musician with some serious chops. His voice reminds me of Roy Orbision mixed with a bit of John Denver and Chris Isaak thrown in for good measure. He does have all the basic properties of country music including steel guitars, but it doesn't make me feel like line dancing...all i want to do is get out my flowery skirt and twirl around my living room as if I was a ballerina from Little House on the Prarie. Listening to his songs, "Just One Moment" and "Cowboys and Angels" I got this relaxed feeling I get when I listen to Roy Orbison's "Only the Lonely." Marc Corey Lee does not play grinding, grungey guitar rock. He also isn't an intense vocalist that wants to peel paint off the walls whenever he opens his mouth. Marc makes the kind of music you listen to when you're lazing around on a sunny day, drinking lemonade on your front porch and imagining what the puffy clould shapes remind you of.

He even packs some edge into his more upbeat numbers. "Ghosts In Paradise" even had a James Bondish type of feel to it, evoking old spy sitcoms like Get Smart. "The First Time" even has a bit of sarcism and nilhism in its tone. With lyrics like " You're the last thing I dream of and the first thing I leave far behind" you know he's speaking from experience and not writing sugar coated sappy love songs like the horrible country cover of All-4-One's "I Swear." He can be romantic though, when he wants to be and I'm sure he has no trouble charming the ladies from stage with his tune, "Please." I almost swoon when he sings (in his very beautiuful voice) "If this were another place and time I would give into you/ The promise of your kiss, your touch/ and making love to you.

I've listened to Jetset Deluxe a few times now, and I'm not sick of it all. It grows on you more each time you listen to it...kind of the way Elton John's Tumbleweed Connection effects me in subtly different ways each time I give it a spin on the hi-fi. Don't let the "country thing" steer you away Marc Corey Lee's music...He's got a great set of pipes, he writes his own music, knows how to play his six string and 12 string, and he reads Vintage Rock. Not too much to complain about, nothing at all comes to mind in fact. Thanks for sharing the music Marc!

    Album Description

    For my money, of all the modern bands it's The Supertones who best represent the spirit of The Ventures. They have that knack of treating cover versions in just the right way, retaining the essential ingredients and adding their own touches to develop an original performance. Just over half of these tracks are covers and they are distributed in twos and threes throughout the album. Lonely Bull is great, as ever. Stranger in Paradise sparkles with energy, A Taste Of Honey is taken fairly straight but Perfidia, in The Ventures version here, has a kind of stripped down feel whilst being delivered with all four instruments sounding rich and upfront in the mix. Morgan is another from The Ventures' early songbook and again it's great to hear it taken so seriously, the added piano bringing a welcome diversion. Scrambler is the first of two Sandals covers, Endless Summer is the other, and they are both exquisite in their own way. Whilst Scrambler races off moodily into the distance, Endless Summer is the ultimate in evocative teen beach romance. Parked between them are two Lee Hazelwood numbers written for The Astronauts' Surfin' album. The Supertones take Movin's pace down a notch which allows them to add a good deal more feel, a major success guys! It's all guitars blazing for Baja, variety coming with the addition of a few keyboard fills. So how do the originals match up? Very well actually. Surf Fever 2000 itself has the feel of a speeded up Besame Mucho, an impression no doubt enhanced by the tasty 6-string bass lead. There's a hint of Kon-Tiki about the melody of Playa Del Rey, its rich summer sound contrasted by the slightly distorted bite of Moonshot Part 1. A bright ringing lead decorates the mid-tempo Side Slippin' until a reverbed guitar cascade introduces the surfer Sweet Ride with its Gary Usher styled piano-tapping support. Media Noche is an upbeat surf ballad and another winner. Moonshot Part 2 is altogether much better, this time the theme taken by a richly echoed guitar accompanied by organ. Surf Fever 2000 is another winner from The Supertones -- Alan Taylor, Pipeline #44, Surrey, UK

    5 out of 5 stars The Second Coming of The Ventures!.......2001-12-20

    Now this is what Surf music is all about! The Supertones get the coolest tone from those guitars and lots of cool reverb. I wish I could see these guys perform as I'm sure they must be one hot band live. My favorites: Side Slippin (just close your eyes and dream about lying on the beach after a nice morning ride), The Sweet Ride (classic Dick Dale-type surf guitar - hey where's Gidget?), Moonshot Part 2 (a modern classic in the vein of Telstar - it's a shame that radio sucks so much they won't play cool stuff like this!), Media Noche (muy bueno amigo, si!) and the partyingest tune of all - "Surf Fever 2000" (makes me want to have a beach party with all my friends). The best thing about this disk is that it contains 20 songs - over 55 minutes of music! Now thats real value for your (...) bucks!

          Album Description

          This is dark instrumental surf music. Reminiscent of classic surf artists, Dick Dale & the Del-Tones and The Ventures but with a darker modern twist. Murder On Beaver Street shifts between different styles within the surf genre. For example, the fast picking style of Dick Dale, the spaghetti western feel of Ennio Morricone, and the primitive rock and roll style of Link Wray.

          4 out of 5 stars Pay No Attention To The Song Titles!.......2005-09-03

          Overall this is well-played instrumental surf music of a gentle nature. I have no idea where the group came up with song titles like "The Mummy's Curse," "Shallow Grave," or "Death, Death, Death." There is nothing eerie or ominous about any of it. In fact this CD could be played in the background of a quiet get-together with friends and set a very nice ambience. It is worth owning but don't buy it expecting music in the "horror surf" genre.

          5 out of 5 stars AWESOME!!!.......2004-06-08

          This CD is great. If you are looking for a different type of music other than the same old pop music out these days, pick up this CD!!! You can feel the soul in the instruments these guys play and you WILL be caught dancing or jumping around!!! This is the best surf I have heard!!!

          5 out of 5 stars Forgotten Pop Gems.......2001-08-04

          Ignored then, forgotten now, the Barracudas recorded some of the greatest pop songs of any era. "I Can't Pretend," "Grammar of Misery" and "Dealing with Today," among others included on this aptly-named compilation, shone with an earnest intensity when originally released, and their brilliance hasn't dimmed in the intervening years.

          If pop music ever changed your life, buy this collection today (and hope for reissues of the original lps tomorrow).
