The Langley School Music Project: "Innocence and Despair"(Bar None Records)
Imagine a 60 voice chorus of rural school kids, untrained but captivated by melodic magic, singing tunes by the BEACH BOYS, PAUL MC CARTNEY, DAVID BOWIE, and others...
These 1976-1977 recordings captured in a western Canada school gym, weren't staged to achieve money or fame, to sell albums or land a record contract. These kids played music because they loved it.
Innocent, flawed and bittersweet, these recordings produced by HANS FENGER and IRWIN CHUSID deserve to be heard and preserved.
"This is beauty. This is truth. This is music that touches the heart in a way no other music ever has, or ever could." John Zorn.
