Robert ASHLEY
“Private parts (the record)”

1977. Robert Ashley: voice. “Blue” Gene Tyranny: keyboards. Kris: tablas.
“Centered around the mesmerizing voice of Robert Ashley, this early version (released on LP by Lovely Music in 1979) of The Park and The Backyard is a masterpiece in its simplicity of form and in the purity and intensity of its effect on the listener. These two pieces were later to become the opening and closing segments of the seven part opera for television, Perfect Lives.”
