An Artificial Head In The Copendium

Almost halfway through "Copendium" the 700-page treatise on music by Julian Cope, and we are still in the 1970s, with more that I have never heard but the binaural sound system (artificial head) that appeared on "Aqua" by Edgar Froese has made an appearance, and the album "Kuntskopf Dimension" may be one I have to track down. The section was on "Golem" by Sand.

Cope's writing at times goes absolutely but entertainingly mad by describing one band by roping in three, four or five others. 

"It's Donovan being Nick Drake singing 'Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun' down a storm drain, as recorded as an out-take from the more outré moments on Nico's Chelsea Girls. Got me?" 

We still haven't reached the eighties yet and there are a lot of unexpected entries.

The book itself is printed on very thick paper so it is a fairly hefty tome.

I recently discovered that my American Amazon Author page has a feed from this blog which you can see here. It only shows on the .com site but not on others. C'est La Vie.

The music is "Aqua" by Edgar Froese
