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

Moondog, the enigmatic composer and street musician who became a cult legend on the streets of mid-century New York, invites listeners into a singular musical universe with ‘More Moondog / The Story Of Moondog.’ These seminal works capture the full range of his artistic vision—rhythms inspired by Native American drumming, stately counterpoint, and haunting melodies, all performed with an array of handmade instruments. Moondog’s music, while firmly instrumental, defies easy categorization, blending elements of jazz, Western classical, and minimalist repetition long before those genres intersected. On this essential release, you’ll encounter hypnotic percussion, whimsical horn lines, and an undercurrent of urban mystique that reflects the city that shaped him. What makes Moondog’s work so compelling is its restless creativity—these tracks have influenced everyone from Steve Reich to Philip Glass, yet remain utterly unique. For vinyl collectors and adventurous listeners, this album isn’t just a historical artifact; it’s a living, breathing testament to artistic independence and the boundless possibilities of sound. Add it to your collection and experience the world through Moondog’s visionary ears.
