TERRY RILEY Persian Surgery Dervishes
Disc 1: Performance One - Part 1 / Performance One - Part 2
Disc 2: Performance Two - Part 1 / Performance Two - Part 2
Terry Riley (electric organ + feed back)
Originally released in 1972 on Shandar Records this is a reissue of one of the masterpieces of American minimal music by one of the pioneers of minimalism, Terry Riley.
Recorded in two different concerts in 1971 and 1972 in Los Angeles and Paris, Persian Surgery Dervishes presents two different versions of the title track. Terry Riley, all alone with his keyboards and feed-back, improvises on a basic structure strongly influenced by the emotion and relationship developed with the audience. The results are two very different versions: one, the American, very dynamic with moments that reach trance-like peaks resembling the dance of whirling dervishes. The other one, recorded in Paris, is more meditative and thoughtful, dominated by a deep sense of quietness.
Persian Surgery Dervishes is also one of the milestones of the Psychedelic Era of the Seventies as it was the source of inspiration, together with "A Rainbow in Curved Air", of many of the pop groups of the German and English scene such as Popul Vuh, Amon Duul II and Curved Air.
