Description
Recorded in stereo quadraphonic and given the rather obscure title of “1/1970; (Bland) [(among)] I” this is an engaging piece of electronic music by the Swedish composer and sound poet Bengt Emil Johnson. In assembling a variety of sounds into a continuous yet ever shifting sequence, Johnson has created what sounds like a drive through an hallucinatory landscape inhabited but what one might imagine to be huge insects and other strange aliens.
