The MOJO Weird Record Club #13
Ruth White’s Flowers Of Evil (Limelight, 1969)
What’s this? Ruth White is an unsung hero of electronic music. In 1969 she blended her otherworldly sounds with readings of Charles Baudelaire’s poetry.
MOJO says: “Imagine busy fork-lifts in a factory, a pet shop on fire and the ear-splitting shrieks of a train on a bad track and you’re getting close to the noises she electronically generated. But in amongst this musical pandemonium there is real beauty. Ruth somehow conveys a real sense of tragedy, longing and an overwhelming sound of synthesized sadness.”
Where can I get it? Original vinyl copies occasionally appear on auction sites.
The MOJO Weird Record Club appears every month in MOJO magazine and is curated and written by Jonny Trunk.
