Almost to the end of My eMusic folder that I had still saved on the mini's hard drive. More great guitar from Aug 30th.
Roy Montgomery - Temple IV
Notes
Recorded on a Tascam Porta One 4-track cassette recorder at 13th St., New York City, between January 15 and January 22, 1995, using a Teisco six-string guitar, microreverb, Digitech time machine, Rat distortion box and Boss digital delay pedal. Mixed to ADAT at Loose Booty Studio, Chicago on March 10, 1995. Monophonic Moog synthesizer was overdubbed on some pieces at this point.
This album is inspired by a visit to the Tikal in the Northern Guatemalan rain forest. from discogs
ps here's a sample of one of my favourites Another great listen!
Put this one on after @confused reminded me of one of my favorite early-morning albums via Roy Montgomery...
Roy Montgomery - "Scenes from the South Island"
It's amazing to me that this album still hits me the same way with the same intensity as it did when I first scooped it up 20(ish) years ago.
Here's the opening track...
I can remember where I was and how I was feeling and the way that the muted sunlight wavered across the floor of my apartment on that gloomy Denver afternoon when I first put this CD in the stereo.
The first 20 tracks are this album, which is a nice one, and available separately for $8.99, so after the first 20 tracks I am $8 ahead already. Which is just as well, because after that there are almost 30 tracks that are mostly Charlton Heston reading Genesis in a way that might have sounded inspiring to the right audience in some past American cultural epoch but now just sounds hilarious, especially when he is trying to sound like God (who apparently speaks in an incredibly pompous theatrical drawl).
I have two complete sets of these on LP and have seen promises for this set for many, many months...and, finally, these sound sculpture recordings have been released.
