专辑简介
After a brief 17 year absence, 80s icon band 17 Pygmies strikes back with not a one, but a two disc set of new and unusual compositions that not only encompass the elements that made the band a cult curiosity, but in fact includes and expands upon those sounds in a manner assuring them of yet another foothold (but a stronger one) in the world of musical obscurity. Consisting of original member of 17 Pygmies and Savage Republic Jackson Del Rey, Jeff Brenneman (original member of White Glove Test) late '80s 17 Pygmies member (and resident in-house poet) Louise Bialik, additional classical guitarist Meg Mary, violinist Jean Sudbury, cello player Tanya Haden and gospel singer Jacquie James, all combine their unique talents to create a new blend of unpopular musical styles dubbed arcanaca aka timeless music destined for the dustbin of obscurity, of not one-hit, but of a new breed, the no-hit wonders. Partly pop, partly folk-implosion, partly classical, partly cinematic, partly electronica, partly...(you get the picture) the Pygmies utilize the Brian Wilson "whatever works" aesthetic to get their musical vision(s) across. But that is just disc one. Disc two consists of 13 different versions of the composition "Lotus" by 13 different guest artists, ranging from Tupac Shakur mixer Lea Reis to New York based chanteuse Jo Gabriel to the sometimes trippy (but always interesting) sounds of in-house mixer Echo Wanderer.
