V/A:LAFMS 'The Emergency Casette' VOL.1+2





The Los Angeles Free Music Society, formed around Tom Recchion in 1972, was a collective of underground artists loosely inspired by Frank Zappa and Captain Beefheart (but also all jazz and classical avantgarde movements). Le Forte Four, who released four lunatic electronic-folk albums starting with Bikini Tennis Shoes (1974), Doo-Dooettes (two albums), Smegma (one album) and Airway (one album) were some of the performers devoted to free improvisation, abstract cacophony and demented chanting.

Thanks a lot for the LAFMS Emergency Cassette post ! I used to have the Lowest Form of Music 10CD boxset on my hard drive and lost it after my computer crashed. Any idea where I could find it ?

Not totally sure, but it sounds like Curt from Meat Puppets is talking along with someone else during the International Language track. It sounds like his voice, but it's hard to say for sure. Makes sense though since they were in that scene at the time, and they are on the tape too...

Hey. Thanks so much for posting this! The 3rd track off the first side and the 16th track off the second side seem to not be included (it's not that they're failing to extract, they're actually not even part of the .rar files). any way you could re-post them somehow? thanks! and thanks again for an awesome post for a much-needed release!

Demnevanni said...

Also, track 22 from the first side isn't included either. Thanks!!!
