What Is Neuromusculosketetal Disorder

DAVID AXELROD - Earth rot (1970)



A brief is modern sung to the earth with suggestions evocative turn of the biblical Isaiah and Navajo legends. David Axelrod comes

in this third installment of manufacturing a soloist with extraordinary clarity that leads automatically to choose a very particular musical form, or to tell the story of the world to a mixed choir and a full modern orchestra, with the help of outstanding soloists ( Ernie Watts on sax, for example). The result is this

EARTH ROT, divided into two main stages (each divided into four movements) that provide the listener a great test of organizational ability of sound and musical language by the composer and arranger Axelrod.

A sort of symphony double suite in some ways closer to the then contemporary "pop works," veined by a thin unavoidable presence of oblique psychedelic flavor of an America that seeks to awaken from the torpor of the usual usual "entertainment" to try out some possible new avenue of expression.

A beautiful disc that deserves listening and playback.
