the sound of the acid-stained Down Underground, #Marinetti Soundtrack CD #launch #Melbourne
Albie Thoms’ –Â Marinetti was the culmination of the synthetic environments that the UBU group had pioneered in Australia; festive public ‘happenings’ that combined the energy and volume of creative rock and jazz with the mesmeric effect of multi-dimensional lightshows. Another kind of culmination: Marinetti records most of the principal collaborators in the UBU film group, like Aggy Read and the Perrys. Uniquely valuable as a document of Australia’s late 1960s counter-culture, the soundtrack provides the best indication of the unrestrained liberty that bands like Tully and the John Sangster Underground band – some of whose members perform on this recording – were famously achieving in their improvisations of the period.
This is the sound of the acid-stained Down Underground…
