Artist: KLINE, PHIL
Title: Unsilent Night
Label: CANTALOUPE
Format: CD
Price: $19.00
Catalog #: CA 21005CD
"In what has become a cult holiday tradition, Phil Kline goes 'electronic caroling' through the streets of Greenwich Village with a parade of boomboxes. Creating a euphoric blend of otherworldly voices and bells, Kline's ambient clouds of sound emerge from choirs of boomboxes. This is the first recording of this 21st century ritual. A unique and engaging contribution to the history of holiday music, Unsilent Night makes a truly unusual gift. Phil Kline's musical activities range from being part of Glenn Branca's guitar ensemble to his more recent collaboration with Luc Sante to writing commissions for ensembles across the globe."

Title: Zippo Songs
Label: CANTALOUPE
Format: CD
Price: $19.00
Catalog #: CA 21019CD
"Zippo Songs is a collection of deeply moving and intense songs featuring poetry inscribed on the cigarette lighters of American GIs during the Vietnam war. Kline has set these profound and often desperate poems with a calm and sacred spaciousness that echoes through the listener as if the soldiers themselves are singing to us from the afterlife. Coupled with songs set too texts by current US Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, Zippo Songs is Kline's fascinating and eloquent statement on war and politics of war, and a fresh and new take on the age-old tradition of the protest song. Phil Kline studied at Columbia University and Mannes College of Music, later founding the art punk band the Del-Byzanteens with filmmaker Jim Jarmusch, write Luc Sante, and painter James Nares, and worked on film and video projects with artists such as Nan Goldin and Wim Wenders."
