Charlies Sounds (2)- Arthur Russell
Thursday 30th July | Doors 7PM
We’re proud to introduce our next Charlies Sounds event, a listening series dedicated to experiencing great records in the best possible way.
Our first event has been extremely popular so we have decided to go again.
Arthur Russell:
Arthur Russell (1951–1992) was a visionary American cellist, composer, and producer who bridged the gap between downtown New York’s avant-garde, avant-pop, and underground disco scenes. Known for his distinctive voice, cello-driven compositions, and collaborations with artists like Allen Ginsberg and Philip Glass, he produced influential, genre-defying music under various aliases including Dinosaur L and Loose Joints
2 albums will be played in full, in pitch black, through our large-scale d&b audiotechnik sound system — removing distractions and allowing the music to take centre stage.
The Albums:
7:00PM. World of Echo (1986)
Widely regarded as his masterpiece and the only solo studio album released during his lifetime (1986).
8:30PM - Another Thought (1993)
The first posthumous collection, released in 1993, which Be With Records describes as essential for even casual fans of “non-obvious pop music”. It features some of his most beloved tracks, including “A Little Lost” and “This Is How We Walk on the Moon”.
