Nat king cole, Nature Boy
#iladri
Now, dear @[G], @turkish, and @Tam, I know you have enough material for ten broadcasts, but this is a story too beautiful not to be (re)told. In fact, I'm (re)posting an old listening...
Eden Ahbez - Nature Boy
Do you know the gigantic Hollywood sign that towers over Los Angeles? That’s where George Aberle lived, camping out, even before he became eden ahbez (strictly all lowercase because capital letters are only for God and Infinity). Record executives realized this when they sought him out for the rights to his hits! A vegetarian and Buddhist, philosopher and musician, he lived off what grew on that hill and claimed to need no more than three dollars a week. And not because he was poor: the mere "Nature Boy" guaranteed him millionaire royalties. Nat "King" Cole brought it to success, but after him, everyone sang it (and they still do): from Sinatra to Marvin Gaye, from Grace Slick to Cher, from Alex Chilton to Bowie and Miles Davis and Coltrane... It’s easier to say who hasn’t sung it.
And he wasn’t even doing it because it was trendy; it wasn’t the '60s yet. It was before, long before the Hippies and the flower children. His son and wife also lived under the "L" of Hollywood.
But it wasn’t just a stroke of luck; the guy also wrote for Sam Cooke and Frankie Laine and quite a few others.
He recorded two LPs ("eden's Island" and the posthumous "Echoes from Nature Boy") and a few singles (I think three), with which he invented that "exotica" which would then become psychedelia.
Really quite a character.
He died at 87 due to a car accident.
Damn modernity!

Now, this doesn’t fit all the parameters just because good old eden wasn’t poor: he chose to be poor!
But it’s still fantastic (in my opinion), and the piece is too beautiful as well as famous.

IVAN GRAZIANI - I GIORNI DI NOVEMBRE

Ivan's mother was from Alghero, Sardinia, and there is a popular legend that Ivan was born on the Olbia-Civitavecchia ferry, which is where his name derives from, "navi" spelled backward.

Just past eighteen, he founded the group "Ivan e i Saggi," later changing the name to "Anonima Sard... uh, I mean "Anonima Sound."

Ivan left the "Anonima Sound" to serve in the military (which was compulsory at the time), and in '72, he began his solo career under the pseudonyms "Rockleberry Roll" and "Ivan & Transport," while also starting a career as a comic book artist around the same time, but that’s another story, and nothing...

The Fletcher Memorial Home - Pink Floyd
Holophonic sound is a recording and reproduction technique performed using a special microphone called an olofono, which allows sound to be reproduced in a way that is similar to how it is perceived by the human auditory system: sound is no longer perceived on the earcups of headphones or within the classic stereo field, but even outside the head, almost in the exact spatial coordinates of the recording. (wikipedia)
Well! There are only 4 albums recorded using this technique... in addition to The Final Cut, Roger Waters, The Pros and Cons of Hitch Hiking, Psychic TV, Dreams Less Sweet, Some Bizarre, and Gianni Togni (listen up) Stile Libero. All of them between 1982 and 1984... it makes me think that it didn't have much success, but I guarantee you, and anyone who has it can attest, that it sounds divine!

øjeRum - mine hænder i intet
Record La-bel!
(The record labels that don’t get the attention they deserve)

[01] Eilean Rec.
I’m kicking off this series of deep dives with Eilean Rec, a label that I hold particularly dear (by the way, Rockerilla talks about it in the latest issue). It was the ninth work of Danish artist Paw Grabowski, a.k.a. øjeRum (who later became my friend thanks to an intense correspondence!), titled Væv (my second review for Debaser) that introduced me to this independent French label. Eilean Rec. is a fantastic sonic experience born from an ambitious and original project: only 100 records, no more, no less, corresponding to one hundred points that form an ideal map embracing the five continents. The aforementioned one hundred points create a colorful mosaic marked by the color of the season of release. Four seasons for four colors: white for winter, green for spring, blue for summer, and yellow-orange-brown for autumn. Mathias Van Eecloo, the ingenious owner of the label, has paid particular attention to the visual aspect, making the booklets of the works true photographic books interconnected with the music. Electroacoustic, environmental experimentation, and neoclassicism are inscribed in the pedigree of Eilean Rec., which has made these genres its hallmark through careful, meticulous selection of artists and works. In a period where physical production is at historical lows, Eilean Rec. has adopted a brave (let's call it risky) nostalgia policy, a sentiment that combats every established, antiseptic commercial concept, and it has paid off: each work (with a maximum run of 120/200 copies) has sold like hotcakes. The latest releases even sold out in pre-sale. Publication number 100 will be unveiled by the end of the year, after which Eilean Rec. will close its doors for good, but Mr. Van Eecloo has other projects in the pipeline, and if these are the premises…

Franco Battiato - Lode all'Inviolato
We have weathered many storms
And countless ancient and hard trials
And a clear help from an invisible caress
Of a guardian
Worthy is the life of one who is awake
But even more so of one who becomes wise
And then reunites with His joy
Praise be, Praise to the Unconquered
And how many useless characters I have worn
Me and my persona have endured so many
Arid is hell
Sterile its path
How many miracles, designs, and inspirations
And then the suffering that blinds you
In the falls lies the reason for His Absence
The clouds cannot annihilate the Sun
And Paganini knew this well
That the devil is left-handed and insidious
And plays the violin

"Life is an orchestra that always plays in tune, out of tune.
Dino Spiluttini - Flesh Angel [Audio] (5 of 8)
This enigmatic phrase is written in Dino Spiluttini's new work, "Heaven."
A phrase that leaves us on the edge of a truth, it gives us the sense of an idea that has always been there next to us, but we have never seen it.
Here it is in its simplicity."
