MOONDOG - SNAKETIME SERIES BY MOONDOG (LP)

Moondog Snaketime Series By Moondog on Vinyl LP! 

One of the best early albums from the legendary Moondog, the Snaketime Series By Moondog is a set that got wider circulation than his first few releases, and really helped expand his reach beyond New York City! Moondog's still at his simple best here, working in a blend of rhythmic percussion, stringed instruments, flute and other rootsy instrumentation all with echoes of Eastern styles, but served in a way that definitely has more of a touch of American exotica! All numbers are played by small groups or even solo by Moondog and any vocalizations take on almost an instrumental feel alongside sound effects, animal noises and other obscure utterings. The album's almost the art world equivalent of Martin Denny but has a lot more depth than easy kitsch and is still tremendously powerful stuff all these years later! Titles include "Caribea", "Big Cat", "Frog Bog", "To A Sea Horse", "Surf Session" and "Trees Against The Sky". This reissue is the original version of the record that was also issued as Moondog on Prestige.
