Gray - Shades of... Anthology (2019)

Quote:

April 29th, 1979, Jean-Michel Basquiat and Michael Holman met for the first time at "The Canal Zone" party, and decided to start a band together. Gradually, they invited various Downtown artists to join the group; first Shannon Dawson, then Wayne Clifford, then Nick Taylor and eventually Vincent Gallo. In 1981, Basquiat named his industrial sound band, Gray. Jean named the band after Gray's Anatomy, an important reference source for his later paintings and the perfect name to capture the haunting, machine-like ambient music the band wrote and performed.

Gray’s “Shades Of... Anthology” is a reissue of the band’s previously limited self-released album, plus unreleased material and remixes from: Todd Rundgren, Hank Shocklee, King Britt, Sal P (Liquid Liquid), Deantoni Parks, Tewz, Free The Robots and The Gaslamp Killer with features from Amir Yaghmai and Kool Keith!

Any Harry Partch fans here? Did a search and didn’t see much mention of him...

Here’s one of my favourites from his earlier stuff. Story is he was homeless during the Great Depression and recorded hobo messages he’d found inscribed along the railroads, then later set them to music using many instrumentations.

My favourite version is this one which is done with a guitar and small organ tuned to his 43-note scale with two vocalists, the composer being the narrative one.
