I have heard his name, but not his music. Listened to 'The Wolfman Part 1', and it's really good stuff - thanks for the link.Originally posted by MrGongGong View Post
I guess as a hard drinker, he did well to get to 84.
RIP

Strongly recommend the DVDs of his 'Private Life's, an opera for television (partly funded by, and first shown on, Channel 4.Last edited by Bryn; 04-03-14, 13:11.Comment

I bought his "Nude Paper Sermon" on LP back in the early 70s - the first time the term "postmodern" came to my notice being in its liner notes. Great pastiche of 16th century madrigals on it - "pseudo Tudo" as my dad wouild have said.Comment

Here is part 1 of Perfect Lives with the videoOriginally posted by MrGongGong View Post
my favourite remains the bar (part 4) which I think was the first released on an LP before the whole of perfect lives:
I think the rest can be found on You Tube, but the dvd's are hard and expensive to come by. It would be great if there was a rerelease.
A quick look at birth dates reveals that Ashley was the oldest from the Sonic Arts Union (Lucier is one year younger).Last edited by Guest; 05-03-14, 07:33.Comment

This is also worth watching if you get the chance

I have Concrete reasons to be happy today. Back in May I placed an order with ReR Megacorp for the 2 CD set of the one Lovely Music Robert Ashley operatic release I did not have. ReR Megacorp was quoting the best price by a fair margin. Unfortunately it was out of stock and I was advised that if I still wished to order it it would have to wait for them to accumulate sufficient Lovely Music orders to justify the cost of shipping. When I got home today, there it was, waiting for me on the doormat. Many thanks to Dave at ReR Megacorp. That sorts out tonight's listening.Comment
