Moondog

On first hearing I thought it dull, but after a few listenings it becomes more intriguing and spirited, although the individual tracks sound like sketches for further finished work.

What a joy to come across this man after so many years. Genius is perhaps overused now, but his talent and musical understanding, borders on that of Bach and Beethoven. Like many l suppose, I first heard him on thr CBS classic “Fill Your Head with Rock” compilation. Stomping Ground being the featured track. Seeing him live was an unforgettable experience.

What’s not to like

Beatnik heaven, man. Weird and brilliant.

I was expecting the music from Moondog’s self-titled CBS album dating back to 1969, but the music on this cd is different - and way less interesting - than the album.

good

I read about Moondog in a book recently and remembered him from the 60's, although I could not remember his music. So I bought the cd out of interest, I wish I had not bothered. I have heard it described as jazz but jazz it's not. Simple childish rhythms and various voices and instruments does not constitute good music. It's is now among items for a car boot sale.

Superb pieces of classical/jazz cosmicolagy,which doesn't date.A sometimes thing.
