Repressed! A primitive, miraculous battle between electronic music and free music — truly HUMAN MUSIC! Electronic music as a good-luck charm, as sheer spirit! (Denshi Ongaku Tsushin 11/17/2010)
An utterly original masterpiece capturing a miraculous battle between electronic music and free jazz, and a rarity among rarities — "HUMAN MUSIC" is the miracle album made by JON APPLETON, both the maverick and the mainstay of American electronic/computer music, together with free music spirit DON CHERRY. Released in 1970 on FLYING DUTCHMAN, the storied home of spiritual jazz and a label with a wild, heretical streak. A record of music as a litmus test, brimming with energy: electronic tones bursting and scattering at will, plus percussion, trumpet and voice at play, overflowing with a hunger for music. Boredoms fans who haven't heard it, be sure to CHECK it out.
