BlowzabellaCountry of origin:England Type of music generally:Folk/traditional/instrumental/world music/dance involving a strange selection of acoustic instruments including hurdy-gurdies, bagpipes, saxophones, guitars, etc. Status:Most recent release, Two Score (2018) See also:Blowzabella Comparisons:Ancient Beatbox Covers/own material:Own and traditional General comments:I'm not really sure that they're suitable as ecto-fodder, but they're certainly strange and wonderful. (anthony@mh1.lbl.gov) Recommended first album:Vanilla Recordings:
Pingha FrenzyRelease info:1987—P&C Some Bizarre Availability:U.K. (vinyl only) Ecto priority:Recommended Group members:Nigel Eaton—hurdy gurdy Comments:Recorded live in Brazil. Entirely instrumental. Very raw and compelling sound on this one. (anthony@mh1.lbl.gov) A Richer DustRelease info:1988—Plant Life Records Availability:U.K. Ecto priority:Highly recommended Group members:Nigel Eaton—hurdy-gurdies Comments:Similar in flavor to Vanilla, though perhaps not quite as good. Recommended as a second buy. (anthony@mh1.lbl.gov) VanillaRelease info:1990—Special Delivery Records Availability:U.K. Ecto priority:Highly recommended Group members:Andy Cutting—melodeons, percussion Comments:Perhaps not normal ecto-fodder. Still VERY highly recommended for those with more outlandish taste, and anyone who appreciates killer hurdy-gurdy playing. A mixture of traditional folk tunes and new, very upbeat tunes. Some very old-English sounding vocals, but mostly instrumental. (anthony@mh1.lbl.gov) |
