Art Ensemble of Chicago - People In Sorrow

I haven't played this much. However it was just what I fancied this morning and I really enjoyed it.

A Japanese pressing with a proper Tesco Value sleeve.

Bowie and Adler squeak and squawk over a very low-key background. However, out of that emerges some beautiful melody. Makes me promise myself to sit down and properly listen to this album and reveal its hidden depths. One day.

This album was recorded in Boulogne. This was where British schools used to go to for our French day trip. I remember discussing Holiday In Cambodia with my mate on the coach because John Peel had played it the night before. This means it was 1980 when I went. Like some Willie Russell play, we'd be let loose in the town to buy flick knives and bangers, fill up on Orangina (Mmmmm) and get in fights (boys) or cop off with (girls) the local youth whilst the teachers got half-cut. Happy days.
