Name: BLACK (and Green and Red)
Duration: P00H06M05S
Description: This is the first part of a tribute to Led Zeppelin's 'Black Dog'. We took a few very small excerpts of the melody of that song and used them as "cantus firmus" to create odd polyphonies. The lyrics are quite ironic and quote also Frank Zappa's "Big Leg Emma"...

lyrics

Black (and Green and Red)

Some old friends told me that women with big legs can make guys like me cry
(Guys like you they make cry)
Big leg Emma, she was my steady date, used to knock me out
(Big leg Emma, she knocked out)
No money, with my car she flew away
(Dreams of you through your head
She flew away with your car)

Can you keep away from me?
No I can't, can't stand still
(No you can't)

My green eyes are burning red,
Dreams of youth through my head
You don't need a car to love, my big legs are enough

(Spent my money, took my car, started telling her friends she's gonna be a star)
You don't need a car to love
(Eyes that shine burning red, dreams of youth all through my head)
My green eyes are burning red
(Hey hey baby when you walk that way watch your honey drip can't keep away)
Can you keep away from me?

Hey hey mama, said the way you move gonna make you sweat gonna make you groove.

Loomings is a one of a kind musical universe of mingled voices and percussions, acoustic and electronic sounds. Our songs follow unpredictable paths: sometimes they emerge from complex compositional strategies, sometimes they’re just driven by the desire to walk through harmonies, vocal arabesques, instrumental unisons and phases. ... more

Such a powerful record. I love how each song builds to a crescendo. My only complaint is that each song is too short. PDD

Darker and heavier than anything the studio ever produced, there is a tremendous weight to these recordings. Kevin Ayers sounds great on "A Certain Kind" though occasionally the vocals are difficult to make out on some of the other tracks. Worth a listen for sure. theexplodingogre

Superb album of instrumentals - a great Chicago band . Well worth investigating . Cuneiform is an interesting label that consistently delivers the goods . Nick Bradey
