The Mystery Of The Bulgarian Voices feat. Lisa Gerrard - BooCheeMish (2018)


The Mystery Of The Bulgarian Voices feat. Lisa Gerrard
BooCheeMish (БуЧиМиш)
(2018)

"BooCheeMish" sees the esteemed Bulgarian choir performing together with erstwhile 4AD Records label mate Lisa Gerrard (co-founder of the duo Dead Can Dance) on several tracks, thereby uniting two of the most distinctive vocal acts working in music. Gerrard, who is also well known for her movie soundtrack work on films such as "Gladiator" and "The Insider", has often spoken about the influence the choir exerted on her singing technique when she discovered their music in the early 1980's. In successfully connecting Bulgarian folklore with other traditions and cultures, the album manages to retain the unique identity of the voices, vocal styles and techniques of the individual choir members, even when allying them with acoustic accompaniment such as stringed instruments and various types of percussion, including beatbox.

The Mystery Of The Bulgarian Voices - Pora Sotunda (2017)


The Mystery Of The Bulgarian Voices
Pora Sotunda 7'' vinyl, featuring Lisa Gerrard
(2017)

"Pora Sotunda" is a brand new very limited 7” by the cult band The Mystery Of The Bulgarian Voices featuring Dead Can Dance vocalist Lisa Gerrard. "Pora Sotunda" is the first release of new material by the choir written in over 20 years. Included on this single are the tracks "Pora Sotunda" and "Ganka". The single is released in a limited edition 7" vinyl format only, and is sure to become a sought-after collector's item. It precedes the release of a forthcoming The Mystery Of The Bulgarian Voices album scheduled for early 2018. The choir became famous after the English independent record label 4AD reissued a pair of anthology albums in 1986 and 1988 with the title "Le Mystère des Voix Bulgares". The choir is not a newbee as it has recordings dating back as far as 1957. 4AD founder Ivo Watts-Russell had been introduced to the choir via a third or fourth generation cassette lent to him by Peter Murphy, singer from the band Bauhaus, who himself had been entranced by the music.

Microfilm: Centrefold 12'' (1980)


Microfilm
Centrefold 12''
(1980)


1. Centrefold (2:48)
2. Window (2Č29)
3. Summer House (2:18)

Microfilm je novozelandski bend, svojevremeno nepravedno strpan u australijsku punk scenu, čiji je najveći uspeh zapravo u tome što je to bila matična grupa Lise Gerrard, potonje pevaljke Dead Can Dance. Na njihovom prvom i jedinom 7-inčnom vinilu "Centrefold" (p.s. ovo je unofficial 12'' verzija), ona uspeva da ne izgovori nijednu reč, već svojim glasom artikuliše zvuke koje uklapa u prateću muziku. Bend se vrlo brzo po izlasku ovog singla raspao, a Lisa sa dvojicom članova drugog novozelandskog punk benda (The Scavengers A.K.A. The Marching Girls) godinu dana kasnije ulazi u priču koju svi danas znamo i volimo kao Dead Can Dance. Naravno, jedan od pomenute dvojice je bio basista Scavengersa, čovek raznih imena - poput Ronnie Recent i Mr. Lovegrove - poznatiji po svom pravom imenu i prezimenu: Brendan Perry.


Lisa Gerrard se pojavljuje i na NZ-kompilaciji "From the Belgrave" (1981), i to u 2 pakovanja: na #5 kao Liza Gerrard sa pesmom "Mosaic", i na #10 uz Microfilm sa pesmom "Summer house".
Elem, Microfilm vredi poslušati i imati u ličnoj kolekciji, ne samo zbog Lise Gerrard i njene potonje DCD karijere, već i zbog traga koji je na muzičkoj sceni tog dela planete ostavio zajedno sa drugim, neretko podjednako uvrnutim kiwi-muzikantima.
