Vinyl Me Please (store, exclusives, swaps, etc)

[Murfocakes]

That’s a real strange series they got going there.

This comment. This is why I love it here

 

[Hemotep]

I thought I was dying. Please tell me one of you bought this. I want a picture of you spinning it.

I always have found it strange that Morton Subotnick released Silver Apples on the Moon around the same time the band Silver Apples released their self titled debut. Much prefer Silver Apples, the band

TBH, I just saw the album title and assumed it was related to the group it wasn’t until I saw the reaction on here and investigated further that is was definitely not related.

Thought it was Silver Apples. Listened to the stream. This will be in the store for a while.

When they first announced the Nonesuch reissue list I thought it was Silver Apples (the band) as well and got really excited. Then saw that it was good old Morty and chuckled to myself that there will be a few surprised people picking this us.

Yeah I mean I read up on it a bit before I streamed it and it was commissioned by Nonesuch in like 1968 I think, and it's essentially a showcase for the new synthesizer he helped design. And I mean that's what it sounds like, a demo album for a synthesizer.

I don’t know the Subotnick/Silver Apples record, but I have a very small collection of electronic music on vinyl, including an album by Suzanne Ciani playing the Buchla synthesizer. She was a torch bearer for the Buchla from 1970s onward.

I’ve recommended the documentary, “Sisters With Transistors” elsewhere on N&G and will do so again here. Even if you don’t like the music, it’s a fascinating account of women, often ignored, in electronic music starting in the middle 20th century.

Also, Suzanne Ciani was a bit of a character and a great foil for David Letterman in his heyday. Here she is showing him the Buchla and trying to explain it, all while he does his normal shtick:

It’s a dream of mine to find one of her pinball machines

Damn, daytime Letterman was weird

Anyone else still not seeing shipping for this month's ROTM selection? (I swapped for Heart)

I’m with you. I don’t think we’re supposed to get frothy until the 15th or something.

I almost never get a shipping notice until around the 12th or 13th.

I think it's just that I got it early for a bunch of months in a row and it's messed up my internal clock, but also I'm on the ODB waiting list so it seems like forever since I got anything...

It could be worse, you could have gotten faulty cd rip version.

I still can't believe that. Although honestly that particular track has so many repeating loops on it that I never would have noticed.

Thank you for posting this and spreading the gospel of Ciani. Loved her work for a long time (except for some of that New Age stuff back in the 80s when New Age was sort of a thing).

Sorry that I am in the minority but I've always kind of liked the Subotnick record because I love early synth and classical weirdness like that but never pulled the trigger. Def not at $41.

Oh hell man there is nothing wrong with liking it, I'm envious because as much as I like weirdness I just can't get through it. But I mean it's considered an important album in a lot of circles so that's on me, not the album.
