WHITE, RUTH - Flowers of Evil

the setting of a set of poems by charles baudelaire to electronic instrumentation & vocal treatments, as realized by ms. ruth white in mid-1969. baudelaire was heavy, man... ms. whites posessed monotone-through-echoplex-through-vclfo-gate throughout is just bone-chilling, her howling synth & noise backdrops so perfectly capturing the southern essence of the text that its hard to believe that these poems werent conceived in the era they were realized here (the just pre-altamont downer hippie zenith), but in fact in the middle of the 19th century! certainly a creel pone more on the psych-end of things, but nonetheless a bizarre and terrifying vision into futures past-future that should speak to the inner satanist. - Miramoglu Music
