David Pritchard: Nocturnal Earthworm Stew
I’d never heard of David Pritchard when I picked up this mid-70’s lp on Island. It just looked interesting, so I gave it a try. Super duper great record! An other-worldly concoction of electronic and acoustic sounds simmering and bubbling over. Reminds me somewhat of Cluster in that there is sort of a playful quality to it. Not at all cheesy, but definitely not electronic music that takes itself too seriously. Pritchard was involved in a great number of things other than recording – including Radio and Visual Arts. Here is a link to some further info on him.

SUPER DUPER RACKORD!
I found this in a stack of records my neighbour found. It’s in perfect condition. Great album!
Sound sample is good, I would file.
