A SENSIBLE GRAVITY (VOLUME TWO)


"I think ‘Gogmagog’ is a lost classic, a real timeless masterpiece. All I could find out about the release was this on Discogs - http://www.discogs.com/Folding-Staircase-Gogmagog/release/740094

I bought this cassette in the mid eighties. It was for sale via the Coil mailing list, back in the day when things existed, a time when there were real tangible objects.

In between side one and two of ‘Gogmagog’ I have placed some of my field recordings. I made the flute recordings by a street musician on a very cheap cassette recorder. They were recorded in Kathmandu in the very early 90’s.

Following this is a cassette recording that was given to me in Siwa, Egypt. Unfortunately I have no idea who the artists are playing on this.

After this I have placed another field recording I made in Kathmandu, this time of a street musician singing and playing a small bowed instrument much like a violin.

Sorry for the sound quality!" - Andrew Liles
