Tuluum Shimmering - Linus and Lucy
Seventy-five minutes plus of
that “
Linus and Lucy” in process-music form as
cyclo-navigational atmospherics. Another special cover version from
Jake Webster
of North Wales who brilliantly takes this over-exposed
Peanuts theme and adds an
upfront soft seed-pod pulse reminiscent of the shaker rhythm that you hear at the
beginning of
Steve Reich’s “
Four Organs.” It continues thru a surprising sweep of
musical touchstones without feeling in any way forced. It’s almost “natural” but
somehow astronavigational to hear it develop from a fade-in of an almost
Tinker Bell-with-maracas-and-celeste to the cRaZy ghost of “
Rainbow In Curved Air”
that forms almost exactly in the middle of the piece - then morphing into, first,
Lonnie Liston Smith/
Stanley Cowell 70s spiritual jazz curls and then, second,
a clear “
Dark Star” saturated jam just before the piece ends as various pied pipers
ripple into the ethers.
Zeitkratzer should give us a more professional recording.
