The opener, "Tone Bone Kone", is a baffler. Whatever lyrics can be understood are stream-of-conscious blurts that exhibit pinhole views of his soul. However, the instrument startlingly duets with his voice, as it breathes along with him and clears its throat during his awkward moments. His improvisations mine every conceivable sound from his bow and cello's amplified body: hollow thuds, window-washing brushes, chipped strings, knuckled knacks, and the boom of a floor peg dropping on concrete.
His onomatopoeias and string-work are uncannily percussive and seem to be faintly picked up by radio satellite. On these tracks, Russell creates beatless dance music that travels through outer space, making the journey his destination. It's just his folksy, muppet tenor, cello, and scant electronic microtones- all lathered with echo, distortion, and reverb. It's also Russell's most personal and radical statement: Here, he isn't cloaked in any congas and hi-hats, shouting divas, or ring-a-ding-ding Latin keyboards. Recorded between 19- the year in which the collection was originally released- this material still sounds timeless. Audika now thankfully reissues World of Echo- a collection of almost deconstructed, "rough draft" versions of his singles- in a limited-edition package with a few b-sides and a DVD of music videos and concert footage. Soul Jazz's definitive primer, The World of Arthur Russell, and Audika's studio vault dump Calling out of Context both garnered this very obtuse man some retro dignity, for good or ill. Nonetheless, he could still hypnotize dancefloors with dozens of anxious ideas that in the 1980s- after 1979's white flight from disco- could only have stemmed from the NYC underground. Russell's various projects- including Dinosaur L, Indian Ocean, and Loose Joints- got feted as textbook examples of "mutant disco." His disco was pure clay- bending, scraping, and glazing its rhythms, harmonies, and vocal arrangements into permanently incomplete sculptures for DJs to puzzle over. This product is made especially for you as soon as you place an order, which is why it takes us a bit longer to deliver it to you.This year's mass rediscovery and mythologization of the late Russell- an Iowan who seemed to be swinging on a tire over the Mississippi, even when in downtown Manhattan- was remarkable.
