Speleju Dancoju / I Played and Danced
$16.99

The historic material that is the basis for this theatrical work comes from a play by the great Latvian poet Rainis. Ilgi has used this play as a starting point for creating a new work, a 'musical mystery play.' The record consists of 45 musical tracks that act as the imagined scenes from the play, introducing characters and action in an unusual musical experiment. The music moves from traditional folk to sweeping Medieval rock to Gothic, dark jazzy figures. This is not a simple recording to absorb, but rather a huge sound-scuplture that moves from progressive rock to asutere a capella, often in shocking juxtapositions.

Most CDs have been imported from Europe or Asia. They are not all shrink-wrapped, and I am not going to con you by wrapping them here just to make you think they have been sterilized in America. We guarantee that the CDs and the contents are all brand new and in perfect condition. Whenever I can, I use recycled shipping materials. They may not look as pretty on the outside, but they save money and keep the trash dumps a little bit emptier.
