MOONDOG The Viking Of Sixth Avenue (2008 issue UK 36-track CD album - The first retrospective to span his entire career, 'The Viking Of 6th Avenue' highlights Hardin's influence on modal-jazz forms, and his importance as a precursor to minimal, pattern-based composition of the '60s and '70s. The collection encompasses everything from full-scale orchestral pieces, like the swinging 'Lament 1: Bird's Lament' [famously sampled by Mr. Scruff], to brief percussion interludes, as in the tribal Native American inflections of 'Snaketime Rhythm'. Other tracks provide candid, on-location snapshots of his infamous street performances, with various traffic sounds all discernable in the mix. These remarkable recordings underscore how Moondog's intimate contrapuntal rhythms contrasted with the hustle and bustle of the city, offering a poignant look at an outsider seemingly out of step with the modern world, but at one with the rhythms of the universe.) more...
