Moondog's debut release, originally on the Prestige label, came out in 1956, long after he'd become a legendary New York City street performer. The blind Kansas native showcases his talent for the minimal and avant-garde here, with compositions driven by percussion and Japanese-inspired melodies, complimented by street sounds, recitations, and animal noises. Bizarre even for today's standards, it's a wonder this was released over a half-century ago. A brilliant debut. Caribea, Lullaby, Tree Trail, Death When You Come to Me May You Come to Me Swiftly; I Would Rather Not Linger Not Linger, Big Cat, Frog Bog, To a Sea Horse, Dance Rehearsal, Surf Session Part 1, Surf Session Part 2, Surf Session Part 3, Trees Against the Sky Fields of Plenty Rivers to the Sea: This and More Spreads Before Me, Tap Dance, Oo Debut, Drum Suite, Street Scene
