BASIL KIRCHIN 'Worlds Within Worlds' LP (US, Superior Viaduct, Catalogue #SV126) Brand new/unplayed copy of limited year 2017 Superior Viaduct label LP edition of monumentally dark and creepy Musique Concrete masterpiece album from 1974 by legendary UK musician/composer/sound sculptor Basil Kirchin (originally released in 1974 in the UK on Island Records.) For fans of Tod Dockstader and the dark, early era recordings of Nurse With Wound.

(NOTE: LIMITED VINYL EDITION!)

"Basil Kirchin was a pioneering British composer who blurred the lines between musical genres. While his career began in the '40s as a professional jazz drummer, in the '60s he started to make field-recordings, painstakingly splicing tapes and slowing-down sounds until the source material would be virtually unrecognizable. Originally released on Island Records in 1974, Worlds Within Worlds juxtaposes Kirchin's various tape manipulations - -amplified insects, animals, engines, glossolalia of children -- with traditional musical instruments to form an organic totality that has the overall effect of otherworldly, ambient soundscapes. As Brian Eno writes in the liner notes on the original release, 'Within the first couple of minutes it became obvious to me that Basil had not only discovered a whole new area of sound, but had exploited it with extreme skill and sensitivity, producing beautiful and evocative music as well. . . . So Basil Kirchin has made a double contribution: he has not only built the instrument, but has written and played the first successful works for it.' Worlds Within Worlds remains a lost classic in sonic abstraction. This first-time reissue is recommended for fans of Broadcast, Aphex Twin and Nurse With Wound."
