RECORD OF THE MONTH
Help Me Out I’m Down To My Last Million by Rick Wokeman
All your favourite fragments of music played on a CFX99229 handcrafted bamboo piano supplied by Hoyahama of Japan with ivory keys made from the tusks of sustainably harvested free-range African elephants. Rick, composer of the legendary Ice Skating On Ice and author of My One Hundred Favourite Fishing Lures proves that he isn’t quite ready to pop his rock ‘n roll clogs with this stomping 200-track release on vinyl, CD cassette and chromatically-enhanced AI hologram showcasing a personal selection of well-loved classics, scientifically reduced to their smallest atomic size. Download these tracks: Dvorak’s Humoresque (bars 28-32), The hummable bit from Rites of Spring (11 sec), 4’33” by John Cage (digitally remastered 15 sec mono edit), Hey Big Spender (chorus only, with guest appearance by Shirley Bassey).
