Open Vocal Phrases Where Songs Come In and Out par Arthur Russell

Arthur Russell requested a football-shaped sticker that stated, β€œUNINTELLIGIBLE” to be placed on the cover of the original World Of Echo LP. Arthur’s joke was honored posthumously with the Audika reissue of WOE, and now lives on in wearable T-shirt form for all to understand. Link in profile

ALBUM REVIEW – ARTHUR RUSSELL: OPEN VOCAL PHRASES, WHERE SONGS COME IN AND OUT Arthur Russell is a big inspiration for me. His unconventional voice with his cello is a combination that has resonated with me ever since he was first recommended to me by a friend a couple of years ...

"It’s worth checking out, if not as an introduction to the music of Arthur Russell, then as very compelling supplemental listening."

Listening to this completely superb Arthur Russell live album, L commented "Look *renowned 'cool'' DJ*, some of us can do back announcements!" Well, indeed. AR wasn't too cool not to tell us what the songs he played were or bury the playlist under a secret code known only to three of the DJ's mates.

Arthur Russell was always in motion. His music was fluid, unfinished in the best way, a perpetual work-in-progress. His recordings shimmer with the feeling that a song could dissolve, reshape itself, or reveal something entirely new at any moment
