interesting, i hadn't heard that one lol. wonder how that squares with david toop's account of interviewing him:

The problem for Cardew was living in Hackney, a solid working-class area well' populated by young black reggae fans, which meant bass and drums, powerful enough to steamroller flat the doctrinaire Maoism and limp music of PLM. "Those rhythms will have to go", mused Cardew without a trace of irony.

so it sounds like maybe what he took issue with was sound system culture, the emphasis on visceral sonic qualities over messages...

in a way they did go though, though thankfully not in the cod-provincial british way he thought.

The thing with Cardew is he understands music, but the story of post-war popular musics has rested on creative misunderstandings. I have sympathies with his criticisms of the post-war avant-garde, but I think he should have acknowledged that he could never have been a popular musician, and his vocal music proves it. the melodies are too highbrow for the likes of the boogie-woogie piano and music hall east end cockney boozer music.

to be fair, kurdish stalinist music could steamroll Cardew easily, so I don't think it's got anything to do with the messages in his music being doctrinaire.

even funky gibbon is too highbrow for cockneys?

my favourite one isn't on youtube. british imperialism, get out of ireland, down with your murdering plunder and rule. as close as he came to a rallying cry. in general Cardew's music is too considerate to serve as war cry, but that one works.

might do another one since the Atom-X Vs Trax-X track pretty much already had the full frequency spectrum covered in noise so I ended up raising Cardew's piano up an octave and adding processing to turn it into another instrument, basically
I decided to kind of let the vocals just be a blur and become more of a blur with processing.
