SynopsisIncredibly Strange Music can be your guide to discover recordings that specialize in border-crossing--eluding scholars and historians who mainly have dedicated themselves to specific genres such as blues, rock, jazz, classical, and other forms. This book takes the listener on a tour of topsy-turvy, genre bending sound experience. Martin Denny, Perrey and Kingsley, Eartha Kitt and others tell how they created their unique recordings. The 12 inch LP covers spotlighted here are themselves frameable works of art, yet can still be found for trifling sums at thrift stores and garage sales. This is a record collectors' guide to the last remaining bargains, and remix-culture DJs looking for something new can find a treasure trove of inspiration in these pages. On another level, this book will satisfy the itinerant reader simply in search of non-conformist thinking and passions., Incredibly Strange Music can be your guide to discover recordings that specialize in border-crossing-eluding scholars and historians who mainly have dedicated themselves to specific "genres" such as blues, rock, jazz, classical, and other forms. This book takes the listener on a tour of topsy-turvy, genre bending sound experience. Martin Denny, Perrey and Kingsley, Eartha Kitt and others tell how they created their unique recordings. The 12 inch LP covers spotlighted here are themselves "frameable" works of art, yet can still be found for trifling sums at thrift stores and garage sales. This is a record collectors' guide to the last remaining "bargains," and remix-culture DJs looking for something new can find a treasure trove of inspiration in these pages. On another level, this book will satisfy the itinerant reader simply in search of non-conformist thinking and passions., This book launched the current Lounge Music Revival and has single-handedly caused the re-release of hundreds of neglected recordings (virtually every LP pictured has been brought back into print). Featured album cover art is now the hipster style imitated by rock bands. Incredibly Strange Music surveys "easy listening, " "exotica, " and "celebrity" (massive categories in themselves) as well as recordings by (singing) cops and (polka-playing) priest, undertakers, religious ventriloquists, astronauts, and opera-singing parrots., Music. Cultural Studies. In the new INCREDIBLY STRANGE MUSIC, VOL. 1, the editors push way beyond the cheesy TV-celebs-do-pop-faves LP's beloved by garden-variety music cultists. Less a practical guide than a treatise on the philosophical underpinnings of such ephemeria. -- Rolling Stone.
