CRUD CRUD

CRUD CRUD is a tour through the stacks of records, demo tapes, etc. that surround me. No recycled MP3s, CD tracks, or reissues here. Average price paid for the records below is $3. Very few I have spent more than $5 on. I present to you some of my favorites. It keeps the guilt of hording this crud distant.

Operation "Lune"

Daniel J. White Operation "Lune" 45 (Editions Montparnasse 2000, 1969)

Found this odd gem at a public radio record sale for a quarter. Daniel White is a film and television composer with a pretty damn long list of scores. I am not sure if the music on Operation "Lune" was composed for a documentary or just to commemorate the 1969 moon landing. Doesn't really matter if the music is good and that it is. "Deux Hommes Sur La Lune" has that great electronics goes outer space sound with a touch of future sounds. "Mer de la Tranquillite" is a strange one. It has a noir sound to it, while evoking a cinematic post-war Paris street. But that isn't all. The playing of the song is very off-kilter, almost narcotic, so much so that it sounds like it could have been writen by Bob Graettinger. Enjoy.

• Because we believe that an artist should have say-so in how his or her work is used and whether or not it should be given away without their compensation, we attempt to contact every artist to obtain their permission to post their music. This is much simpler than you'd assume it is. Once we have their permission, we post their music. However, there are a couple exceptions: If the artist is dead and the work is out of print, we feel that asking permission from a corpse is a waste of time. In fact, we'd be frightened if we got an answer. Second, if we cannot track down an artist or a label, and have good reason to think that they are not among us, we will post something. There are also countries in which records were made that no longer exist. This makes it near impossible to track anyone down responsible for that kind of record. Records that were produced anonymously or without crediting the artist are also free game, as far as we are concern. But, please, note that in all cases we have attempted to contact the artist, not because we feel we are legally obligated to do so, but we feel that it is the ethical and respectful way of going about things. Do unto others....

  Please do not link or hotlink MP3s. I can be contacted at ss (at) s-srecords.com Because of bandwidth issues, please download instead of stream.

  All files are up for about a week or two. Once they are gone they are gone. Do not email me asking for MP3s. I do not have the time to honor requests and I don't keep the files. I have the records, I don't need the MP3.
