have you ever wondered what makes a man play the washboard? i know i have. and if you are similarly inclined to ponder such things, you will want to check out the outlaw jd ray by 17 pygmies. or jackson del ray's continued attempts to drag the concept album back into unfashion. i s'pose when you scrape yrself free of savage republic , record "an odd, kind of surf-a-delic, emerson lake & palmer inspired cover version of the theme [...]
A space/post-rock concept album based on a 15th century Spanish literary classic? Yeah, it works, thanks to veteran band 17 Pygmies. You know how there's no sound in space as the sound waves can't expand in a vacuum? Well, evidently they can, if you carry them with you on your interstellar trek. This can be done at the comfort of your own home, of course, though seeing those distant points of light flash by can be a wondrous experience on its own. But this isn't just a trippy album. It is, like the novel it's inspired [...]
17 Pygmies have been around for a lot longer (since 1982) than I would've guessed. Music like this doesn't go unnoticed for this long. However, the spooky and murky sound of 17 Pygmies lives on with Celestina ; a spacey and slow moving record that relaxes the listener as much as it makes them aware of the cinematic atmosphere it creates. 17 Pygmies - Celestina X [...]
Philip Drucker (alias Jackson del Rey ) fue integrante de Savage Republic , una banda de gran reputación en la escena post-punk de Los Angeles, en los ´80, pero su ánimo inquieto lo llevó a no encasillarse en ningún estilo y a probar con música celta , samba brasilera , techno - pop , y hasta cabaret rock . Esos experimentos lo impulsaron también a fundar varias agrupaciones. En 1982 comenzó a trabajar en su proyecto paralelo Seventeen Pygmies y más tarde [...]

A couple of excellent new releases to direct your cold, cold ears towards today: Hush Arbors new long player 'Ecstatic Peace' came out at the end of last month & immediately sounds like your new best friend. It also sounds like it could have been released in any year since 1968, which is no bad thing. As the blurb states: 'While repeated listens reveal more and more details, as good albums should, this is also an album that commands immediate attention. Try to put it on in a crowded room – just try. You'll have a [...]
Partly space rock, partly pop, partly cinematic, partly experimental, partly classical, partly electronica, partly psychedelic, partly (you get the picture) the Pygmies utilize the Brian Wilson "whatever works" aesthetic to get their musical vision(s) across. 17 Pygmies has been creating and performing their unqiue brand of retro '60s Psychedelic-'70s Classic Rock music since 1982, and like fine wine just keeps getting better with time. Their newest release, Celestina, features 11 dreamstate tracks that are impressive in their complexity yet won't lose you in the creation. I like calling this "mechanical [...]
While I don't know if we'd go as far to call this week's edition of the Friday Mixtape epic - after all, there is always room for improvement - it sure is quite large. 41, count 'em, 41 songs can be found below, a mix of music's best new singles and remixes along with some selections with bands you might want to check out. And since it's CMJ week, we figured no better time than now to throw in a few extra ones featuring some of the marathon's performers. The CMJ CROWD: [...]
You can draw on your own conclusions regarding the influences surrounding this extremely chilled out release. The concept feel adds a deep warming, yet atmospheric journey only the Californian five-piece can explain in depth. Set your controls to the heart of the sun. 17 Pygmies : Celestina VII Learn More And Buy
