FAMILY OF APOSTOLIC - CD FAMILY OF APOSTOLIC

Popis - FAMILY OF APOSTOLIC:
Apostolic was many things: a label, a collective, a state of
mind even. But before all of that, it was a recording studio
set up by New Yorker John Townley. It attracted likeminded
souls such as Frank Zappa, whose Mothers Of Invention recorded
several landmark LP's at Apostolic. But the greatest example of
the output of this artistic community was the sprawling double
LP 'The Family Of Apostolic'. A utopian album, inspired by
global cultures, with material ranging from Pakistani folk
songs to Scottish traditional music and Chinese opera. The
album was made by a cast of 19, bonded by a desire to create "primitive performance art" from surrealist happenings. Despite
the possibilities opened up by the studio and the chance to
treat the desk as an instrument, 'The Family Of Apostolic' is
nonetheless a folk record at heart, and sounds downright spare
in places.
