Something Out There
(No Man’s Land) Used LP $20.00
“Parkins’s harp has an aggressive, sometimes stinging quality,” notes All Music Guide, “In a sense, she plays it as though it’s an electric guitar, making few concessions to its more delicate ancestry. The pieces with Marclay work especially well, his vinyl selections blending seamlessly with her rich plucking. The duo with percussionist Samm Bennett comes within a few miles of sounding like a warped attempt at pop.” From 1987
WILLIAM HOOKER / ZEENA PARKINS / LEE RANALDO
The Gift Of Tongues
(Knitting Factory Works) Used CD $7.50 (Out-of-stock)
Noise oriented free improv recorded live in the mid-’90s. Hooker’s time-giving percussion bounces around the edges of barrage, Parkins’s electrified harp induces personality trauma, while Ranaldo goes deep hypnosis with screeching guitar.
