A live recording in Egypt brings to mind two reference points:
- the Sun Ra Arkestra playing to an unsuspecting crowd at Hartmut Geerken’s place
- the Jean-Michel Jarre Millenium extravaganza in front of the pyramids.
It’s hard to explain, but I can somehow feel the influence of both these concerts in Popol Gluant’s recording.
He’ll be mad at me for saying that: his music never showed any trace of other people’s influence, or anything that’s ever been heard before.
You’ve guessed it: I’m just trying to attract the JMJ fan base.
