Doug
Snyder - electric guitar
Bob Thompson - drums and percussion
This
is the 25th year anniversary reissue of a noteworthy historical
and musical document. Daily Dance was recorded in rural Fayette
County, Ohio in 1972, yet its clangorous drones sound as if
they could have been recorded yesterday (or, perhaps, a few
hours ago). Daily Dance was originally released as an LP in
1973 on the New Frontiers label...and has been out of print
for about fifteen years.
Five
years later Doug (largely on the strength of this recording)
would become a “key” member of recondite NYC noise-improv
ensemble Sick Dick and the Volkswagens, along with Donald
Miller (Borbetomagus and Lhasa Cement Plant), Mark Abbott
(see John Zorn's School) and Brian Doherty (Borbeto
and Lhasa).
After
Sick Dick’s demise (1983), Doug returned to Ohio. To
this day, Snyder and Thompson perform and record together
on a regular basis.
All
in all, here is a disc that looks back toward The Velvet Underground,
the Stooges and Elvin Jones, as it looks forward to Ascension,
Keiji Haino and William Hooker (and any number of other free-noising,
free-rocking manifestations)……and it was recorded
over 25 years ago!
