"Pictured in all it's tantalizing, eye-popping glory in Hans Pokora's 1001 Record Collector Dreams, this hellishly rare Austrian avant garde LP from 1972 is nothing short of astonishing. There are no instruments, but rather varying configurations of solo, duo and ensemble vocal improvisations, presumably informed by the aforementioned (and nearly impenetrable) code (or ""charts""). Although this might be seen as part of an interesting continuum, this unique and prescient music will stun even the most astute followers of outsider art. Describe it, you say? Sweet Jesus! ""Shape note singing for acidheads,"" perhaps? from an avant-classical perspective, one might mention late 60's Penderecki as a possible reference point (along with Ligeti, or perhaps even Nono). in improvised music, the Spontaneous Music Ensemble's larger workshop groups similarly feature masses of vocal sounds; comparisons with Alan Watts' This Is It are as plausible as they are inevitable. Ultimately, though, nothing will quite prepare you for this LP. Strictly limited edition of 492 vinyl copies High-gloss tip-on sleeves with 180 gram vinyl."
