Emil Richards ‎– "New Sound Element "Stones" (UNI Records ‎– 73008) 1967


Emil Richards really was Martin Denny on LSD 25? This percussive trip around the twelve 'Birthstones' is one of thee most bizarre records ever produced,and contains some of the most wigged out Moog playing I've ever heard.Its a kind of "The In-Sound From Way Out" ,by Perrey and Kingsley,but for mature adults only.
The Liner notes indicate that the instruments used were "Dr. Irv Wilson's 22-tone-to-the-octave instruments...",and the back cover lists all used tempos from 40/4 (Wot??) to 16 /8 (uh?!!),now that's just plain showin' off?
Our fav Sitarist, Bill Plummer, plays bass on this too!What greater recommendation do you need?
Prepare to have your minds and ears,but not yer knob, well and truly blown.

A1 Garnet (January) 2:26

Could be used for stripping paint off cars or interrogating political dissidents. Absolute aural vomit, the worst album I think I've ever heard!

The worst album ever?....wot? Worse than "Bat Out Of Hell 2"? I've tried stripping paint with this album and i find that Merzbow does it more efficiently,especially the CD's.

I put personally this 1967 milestone as one groundbreaking album just after Coltrane's 1965 ''Ascension''.
Magically recorded, wonderfully played, musically ineccepible, fenomenally assembled this "Stones" stands strongs as one mind blower ahead for every other step in jazz avant garde music.
Truly pioneeristic music that suggest how the music gets a special Aura only after repetitive listening to dismember elements: a real meditative musical idea on chaos and order.

Mister Emil Radocchia was a truly Maestro, and respect.
