Meredith monk: do you be (1987) Recoil - liquid (2000)

Part: 1 : Meredith monk: do you be (1987)
Meredith Monk - Do You Be (1987) Classical | EAC (APE & CUE) | 168 MB In our ever increasingly vast realm of computer-generated and computer-reproduced compositions, we neglect the fact that music in general, and voice in particular, is something done by the body; it is, by and large, a corporeal activity. However, there is, among certain composers and performers (from both the classical and popular worlds), a continuing pocket of resistance to this trend and perhaps no figure better represents that heterogeneous contingency than Meredith Monk. This recording is an excellent introduction to Monk's work. The Vocal Ensemble sounds wonderfully inventive and exciting throughout and the material on this CD includes some of Monk's finest shorter pieces. "Scared Song", the first track, presents a representative example of her imaginative use of repetition and variation. Other highlights include "Panda Chant II" and "Memory Song".
Part: 2 : Recoil - liquid (2000)

Essentially a solo venture, Recoil began whilst Wilder was still in Depeche Mode, as an outlet for his experimental, less pop-oriented compositions. Once he announced his departure from the group in 1995, Recoil was transformed from a small side-project, into Wilder's primary musical enterprise. Recoil effectively began in 1986, when Daniel Miller (record producer and founder of Mute Records) heard some of Alan Wilder's demo recordings, which he had made on a 4-track cassette machine. These recordings were substantially different from anything Depeche Mode had released — whilst they were still created using synthesizers and sampling, they! featured little of Depeche Mode's catchy pop songwriting, instead opting for an experimental, John Cage-esque style. The fifth album, Liquid was released in 2000."
