Miniatures One + Two (CD)

Repressing. Two CD release containing both volumes of Morgan Fisher's groundbreaking releases: The first volume released in 1980, followed 20 years later by VOLUME TWO. In '80, overwhelmed with concepts for potential releases, Fisher decided to see how many of these ideas he might be able to squeeze onto just one album. Rather than performing everything himself, he invited 50 musicians he admired to send in tracks of up to one minute in length. They responded with unanimous enthusiasm, and MINIATURES was born out of Morgan's precise editing and sequencing of these tracks, providing a unique snapshot of the cutting-edge music of the period and achieving legendary status amongst those who cherish such creativity and individuality in the process. Featuring artists as diverse as the Residents, Robert Fripp, XTC's Andy Partridge, Pete Seeger, Robert Wyatt and the Pretenders' Martin Chambers, as well as cover artwork contributed by Ralph Steadman, 113 tracks. Cherry Red.
