More Moondog / The Story Of Moondog - Moondog (2) - Audio CD - Pre Owned CDs (Arrives in 14days)

Moondog, the enigmatic composer and visionary known as the 'Viking of 6th Avenue,' crafted a sonic universe all his own. 'More Moondog / The Story Of Moondog' brings together two essential recordings from the late 1950s, capturing the full scope of his inventive, outsider genius. Against the backdrop of Manhattan’s streets, Moondog weaves together hypnotic percussion, unusual time signatures, and haunting melodies that blur the boundaries between jazz, minimalism, and classical composition. The album’s arrangements—built from hammers, homemade instruments, and subtle woodwinds—feel both ancient and avant-garde, evoking the primal pulse of the city and the solitude of its margins. For collectors and the curious alike, this double-feature offers more than historical curiosity: it’s a testament to the power of outsider artistry and the way music can reshape our listening habits. Every track is imbued with Moondog’s eccentric charm and restless creativity, inviting listeners to hear both the city and themselves anew. If you value music that stands apart—unconventional, melodic, and deeply imaginative—this album is a vital addition to your collection.
