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.
