Artist: HOPPER, HUGH
Title: 1984
Label: CUNEIFORM
Format: CD
Price: $15.00
Catalog #: RUNE 104CD
New CD issue of this classic album, with bonus track and improved sound (previously issued by Mantra). "Upon it's original release, 1984, with it's unusual combination of lengthy abstract sound-journeys and short, weirdly devolved James Brown-inspired pieces, gained much critical acclaim. 1984 was an extremely unusual release for 1973 and an extremely unusual project for CBS Records, who first released it. Like the groundbreaking novel after which it was named, Hopper's record was truly ahead of its time when it was created. It remains timeless today. 25 years after it was created -- years which saw the rise of industrial music and electronica, the seeds of which can be found in Hopper's release -- the originality and distinctiveness of Hopper's 1984 remains untouched."

"Freshly remastered from the master tapes and issued on CD from tapes for the first time, this is the second solo album by Soft Machine bassist and composer Hugh Hopper. Hopper Tunity Box features stellar contributions from members of groups such as the Brotherhood of Breath, Gilgamesh, Hatfield and the North, Isotope, Soft Machine and the Keith Tippett Sextet. Originally released in 1977, this is a lost jazz/rock classic that demands to be rediscovered 30 years later!
