Peter Walker & Velvet Underground

Musical Group or Musician

A pairing that appears on a 1966 Aspen Magazine flexi disc: Peter Walker's 'White Wind' (raga-influenced guitar) and the Velvet Underground's instrumental 'Loop' (feedback/drone by John Cale).

Peter Walker is an American guitarist whose 1960s recordings show raga influences (for example Rainy Day Raga, 1966). The Velvet Underground is an American rock/experimental band; John Cale contributed experimental viola/feedback and was influenced by La Monte Young. The Aspen Magazine flexi disc from 1966 featured 'White Wind' (Peter Walker) and 'Loop' (Velvet Underground).

A close reading of a DeBaser review about a 1966 Aspen Magazine flexi disc pairing Peter Walker's 'White Wind' with the Velvet Underground's instrumental 'Loop'. The review highlights drone, feedback and raga influences and frames the flexi as a small 1960s masterpiece. The reviewer awards the release a 5/5.

For:Listeners interested in 1960s experimental/psychedelic music, drone and raga-influenced folk guitar, Velvet Underground fans, collectors of rare flexi discs.

 On side B, there was an instrumental piece by the Velvet Underground, “Loop”: a beautiful guitar feedback performed by John Cale, still captivated by La Monte Young and the eternal music or perhaps by Robert Ashley’s The Wolfman, an artist somewhat forgotten even by those who don't forget much.
